Satellite Win to Start the Month

Last night I played $7 turbo rebuy with a 1 hour rebuy period satellite into a EPT $650 qualifier. I had just watched a rebuy qualifier and it was a complete agro crazy allin fest so it looked like fun. Plus I love rebuys. In general rebuys are great because they are full of guys who don't rebuy!! This one being a satellite was even better. We ended up with 3 $650 seats up for grabs and the next three guys got $109 each. There were 80 or so starters and with 5 minute levels the action was fast and furious the entire tourney even after the rebuy period was over. In fact I think the action got even crazier. I came out of the break in 23rd out of only 32!! survivors. I told ya rebuys are great! But I still had like 10bbs. So I had a whole entire orbit if I wanted before the situation would get dire. It wasn't long though and I ended up near or with the chip lead for alot of the final two tables in a lot of dominating positions like QJ vs Q10 allin preflop. That sort of stuff. I was making some sick calls I tell ya! But because of the structure it was generally necessary for everyone to be pushing and calling pretty damn light. With about 6 to go I had over 300k chips and the next closest guy had like 100k. I bullied and pushed and in short order finished off the last guy. I probably eliminated half the field after the break! Anyway it made my day. I was down a bit at the cash tables but the win more than made up for it. I decided not to play the qualifier for EPT San Remo but eventually I will start trying to play some sort of qualifier. I think I might try these turbo rebuy qualifiers. Lots of fun.

Tonight, I thought I played really well at the cash tables. Ended up ahead about $300. All in all a really good start to February!
