Well the adventure starts here for me today, my first ever blog and my first ever attempt at recording my gambling exploits both in poker and at online casinos.

First tournament to provide an update on is the WSOP Mania Freeroll Event at Mansion Poker which i’m playing in as we speak.

I’m currently in 28th place with around 7500 chips (589 remaining) with only the top 7 being paid via tournament tickets and cash.

The fields tend to get a bit desperate from this point on with people stalling the timer, going all in with average hands, so hopefully i’ll pick my spots

Results

Interwetten.com IWP Freerolls

13.00 - 519th out of 667 starters (Just played badly)

14.00 - 34th out of 764 starters (Went down on pocket 5’s to pocket 8’s all-in preflop)

15.00 - 681st out of 723 starters (Almost immediate all-in)

Mansion WSOP Mania Freeroll

1.00 - 29th out of 674 starters

7.00 - 458th out of 1611 starters

One more tournament to play on Paddy Power tonight, not a great day :(
