the Donkey of Poker

Cashing in the $100,000 GTD was my goal for this game on FullTilt.
The Mini FTOP events have a slightly smaller buyin then the normal ones but the reason I played this one was it was a knock out tournament plus a super stack for $12+$1.

With a handful of pro’s registered from the host Svetlana Gromenkova to Phil Gordon

This was great a game, and glad everyone enjoyed this celebration with me

The Donkey of Poker Birthday Game was broadcast LIVE on HoldemRadio
we had already $300 in the pot before registration opened and with 54 players
that made a prize pool of  $570…. and the bounties and extra prizes.

So I got off to a nice start, well decent start in the Saturday Bounty Challenge,
broadcast by Holdem Radio Live, played on Cake Poker..

After chipping up early, but not getting any bounties I was starting to struggle, hmm maybe mid way thru the game.  My chip stack started to dwindle down a bit, and wow blinds and antes are eating me alive.  Not to mention TEAM2WIN sitting over on my right.

Poker Tournament Variation Structures

Most poker tournaments play with the same structure of blinds and chips. Depending on the site you play at. Some start with 1500 starting chips, others maybe 2000, I’ve even seen starting stacks at 1000, ouch. Blinds are usually wide spread the same, usually 8 minutes, but again it varies on the site/network.
