My plan is as above 100 dollars per day.
Omaha 0.25 / 0.50 or 05/1 is the game i am going to play..
I dont join 0.50 / 1 if 4 guys sitting with 400 dollar each but if maybe 100 dollar i maybe join..
Otherwise 0.25 / 0.50 ...
Yes i will write here how it goes..Maybe i lose it all first day..we will see
/Ogio
Yea ! I played pretty good in the last 10k tourney. My comeback from 15k to 77k was nice but then i started to bluff to much and was very unlucky with the kicker card..
Well s**t happens..Still happy for winning the 11 dollar with 485 players =)

Very nice, good to hear that you are still doing very well. Tournaments are very crazy at some point, especially when the blinds are high and you have to start being aggressive, or else you will be eaten by them.

When you're at the "last updated threads" page, click the arrow pointing down , next to the thread subject, and you jump straight to the bottom.
Later I'll try to add something so it can jump you to the newest post since your last login or something, so it's easier to see what's new and what's not.

Grand Casino Mille Lacs (MN) is in the middle of its 13th annual Arctic Blast charity weekend in conjunction with the Minnesota Vikings. In addition to snowmobiling Friday and Saturday, Vikes alumni, GC execs and radio personalities acted as bounties in the $100+10 bounty poker tournament on Friday night.
My wife and I arrived at the casino Friday afternoon. She used one of her Player’s Club coupons to pick up a free piece of luggage and then hit the slots while I waited in line to sign up for the tournament. Not being a Diamond level and not playing in a cash game, I waited outside the Event Center at 3:30 for the 4PM general sign ups.
After signing up for the tourny, we checked into the hotel with our $25 standard room coupon. The hotel was sold out, so it was great that we were able to get a room.
Next, we hit the buffet (seafood night!) with two $5-off coupons.
Gina hit the slots while I played poker. One of her favorites is Cat’s Meow.
The 6PM tourny started at 6:10, which I consider on time. The TD introduced the bounty at each table (worth $100 each). Veteran Vikes included Dave Osborn, Doug Sutherland and Paul Krause.
There were very few metro tournament regulars in the tournament, so I decided to play very tight and very aggressive. For example, in the second level I raised preflop with J10 in MP flopped an open-ended straight draw (389 rainbow). Made it on the turn with a 7. Since the turn put the second heart on the board, I went all-in to knock out a flush draw. It was three-handed. The first player behind me gave me the death stare and then folded. The other guy thought for a minute and called. I turned my cards over and he mucked without seeing the river. I doubled up early. In a later round I knocked out a casino executive, so I was now free-rolling the tournament.
I finished in 18th for $162.
1 table STT’s for the upcoming HPT events were being played. $75 entry and 2 players win a $340 seat. I won a seat. (GC Mille Lacs also has HPT poker league tournies 42 Saturdays a year for those interested).
It was a well-run tourny, had a lot of fun and made a few bucks.
I will lookout for you when go for NL50 tables, but im playing after BRM so I need a couple of hundreds more before I start NL50 on PP. Think I start NL50 when I got 800$
How is your bankroll at this point? Do you still have enough to play those $11 tourneys?
