Toe'd in the Hole
rubertoe:
Well we are less than 47 hours now till the Stag do meet up - Pints will be ordered at 7:30 pm at london"s King Cross/St Pancreas Station with the Euro-star Leaving For Belgium at 8:30
The First Stop on the way is to Brussels - which i have heard is probably the most boring city in the World - Due to all the EU PC BS that comes out from there - but that is just the first port of call before we head on to our final destination Antwerp (not the usual city of choice of a stag party - but considering the Groom wanted to go to Doncaster??? It will be Heaven) the Home of Jeneveer! Gin to you and I and one of my Favourite tipples - even if it does either make me the nicest?horribilis person i know! but the GF wont be there so i will definitely be cracking on!!
When i get back - i have a poker plan - I need to earn enough money playing poker between now and the WACOP to be able to pay for my seats, Travel and Accommodation -
I will be entering all of the events and will have to pay for them out of Poker winnings - that means that by the time the events roll round - i will have to have enough money in poker accounts to be able to transfer this to my real money account or i will be selling the seats 1 by 1 - it is a bit harsh but me and the Mrs have come to the agreement - pay for the seats out of our money - and if you don"t pay it back with poker money then the seats must be sold!!
Harsh but fair - and as i only have a modest BR - $150 - it will be tough - but it is amazing how something like this focuses your play more!

I have been thinking about my WACOP challenge and how to go about it -
I currently have 2 BR"s online at the moment - One on BSq and one on Pacific - The one on BSq is purely for APAT online events so we can discount that from the challenge (unless i win a national) and that leaves me with about $160 to build on!
i have decided that the only way that i am gonna ever get this to around the $650, which should be enough at least to cover my Fees and Travel for all 3 events, is by grinding away at cash tables - and for me this means Micro Stakes - I plan on continue playing 2x 3/6c cash tables until i have ground out $50 profit to take the BR above $200 and then i shall move up stakes - i plan on playing at least two hours of cash a day and hopefully i can move up to the 5/10c cash tables by the March and then look to move up to the 12/25c as soon as i can get the BR above $350 -
What i plan to do is to purchase the seats and then Pay myself back out of the BR that i am grinding and if i Fail to reach my target then i will have to sell the seats - so i am not actually loosing out on anything - except punishing myself for not being disciplined!!!
Current BR @ 07:14 = $157.85
APAT:
Good luck with your poker plan Robert, sounds sensibile to me. Remember it"s WCOAP though! :)

Wow, following through on that commitment if you dont make your target will be tough!!
antthecat:
i like your idea and you have given me inspiration to win money for the wcoap. i am now going to try what your doing playing local tournys(but not online) and if i dont earn enough for the event(s) that i want to play in then ill sell my seats, i wont worry about accomodation as ill pay for that out of my wages or drive there every day(norwich to nottingham is not that far is it?)
thank you for inspiring me to get back playing poker and build a bankroll for a reason and play well.
