    The end is near of the VPT

    !! No tournament 2 weeks in a row!!!
    This is the 2nd straight week and 3rd tournament of this season, where we couldn't get enough players to play. I understand that it is hard to get commitment out of enough people to keep the league going. I think the league is running short and almost out of options. At this rate Jonas and I will have to talk about if we are only going to play 1 more tournament or 2 more before the end of season tournament. When we determine that, we will relay the message to everyone.

    Cash Game

    We were only able to get 3 handed for the cash game and it was one of those nights. Couldn't get anything going and bad luck at the same time spells doom for you. I had the second highest flush and of course ran into the I ended up losing 102 dollars by far my worst loss in a cash game in quite sometime but that is the way the game goes sometimes.

    Food for Thought

    Here I am again at the crossroads of figuring out what I want to do with my bankroll which is back to what I started with after the WSOP Diseaster. I am debating to go back to La Center and play more 4-40 spread or keep playing in the games that I am playing in for now. Give me some feedback the more the better. Play well and may all your pots be monster.

    • I am sure I can arrange for that to happen sometime this week the sooner the better right.

    • You haven't played the La Center game in a while. Go back to the play style you used to build the bankroll. Start fresh. Take a few more trips up there and let me know when you hit 2k! ;)

    • The only spread limit game at La Center is 4-40 and you can buy in for whatever u want. With just over a grand in the bankroll I don't have many buy ins for that game so that is a risk at the moment.

    • are there any bigger spread limit games you could play there? whats the max buy in for that table?

    • Agreed about the house game thing, I think the cash games are still good and will still have quite a bit of action. But, I have been debating how the direction with my bankroll will turn. Either more La Center runs, do what I am doing now and save it for a trip, or cash it out but that is the last thing to think about right now.

    • I think with only 3-5 players who can come on a regular basis we'll have to do the free roll soon. You've lost 3 regulars with Chris, Justin, and I not playing anymore.

      I'm terrible with bankrolls as I've shown, but I always hear it's good to mix things up. If you've been playin a lot of house games with the same players it could get a little stagnant.

      GL & let me know what you decide with the VPT
