A bit about me I am a Sheffield United Season ticket holder and also a committee member for Sheffield United Disabled supporters. I am 39 (40 in 2012) 2nd time lucky in marriage , 2 sons 16+7. I am also a wheelchair user.
As a loyal Blade I will not use the name of the side from swillsboro' therefore u will see me substitute that word as swear word day hence the days of the week in my blog are
Monday Tuesday Swear word day Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
As the title says I am going to start with nothing in several poker accounts and through freerolls make my buyin for the WSOP ME.
I will also play live at least twice a year.
This will start from January 1st 2012.
Unlike many who start with a bankroll and run it up to $10k the ME buyin, I intend to only use funds won in freerolls to do this.
The only 2 exceptions being :
1 I cash in any live tournaments, I have bought into from my freeroll wins (Min twice per year min buyin £50)
2 I cash from live tournaments, I have won tickets to for nothing.
Can this be done i believe so i have won over $7k in tickets and cash from freerolls in the past 4 years.
My target for 2011 was $3k in cash and value of tickets won. I hit $2k but only played a total of 4 and 1/2 months in the year.
How long will it take i hope to do it for 2020. Although i would like to think i can hit the tables for the 2017 WSOP.
I will be able to join other sites but the minimum deposit will be made from my winnings. To meet cashout restrictions I may have to play cash tables or buyin tournaments any profit made fulfilling the cashout criteria will not be counted toward my target, but any losses will be deducted from my running total.
I intend to update this blog every week.
Hopefully this can inspire others to play freerolls seriously and not use freerolls as bingo games. If it makes 1 person take freerolls seriously then I will have won irrespective of hitting my targets.
I will keep a spreadsheet showing 2 things:
1 Which sites I have won satellites/tickets and their cash values, but they will not count toward my target, only cash won from these satellites/tickets.
2 Cash won and which sites it was won on.
I am recording all wins cashes + satellites/tickets on Under The Gun poker forum
here is the link to where my wins are recorded
