Prior to coming to the Boot Camp I was a cash player and did poorly in tournaments and didn't play that many or even too often. Since I went to class, tournaments and sit-and-go's have become much more lucrative and rewarding. I've had a lot of success since camp.
Following are the results for the past sixty days:
In December I won a small tournament at St. Croix Casino in Turtle Lake, WI for $2000 In December I finished in 5th place in the Trump Casino Indiana tourney for $1800 In December I chopped the Mirage Wednesday night tourney for over $3000 In December I finished in 7th at the Bellagio $500 tourney for $1800 In December I won several significant Bellagio satellites but finished out of the money in the larger events and won seven of ten single table satellites that I entered that trip.
January 2006 is off to a good start too. I made the final table in the two events that I played in so far this year.
Jan. 7th finished in the money at the Grand Casino in Hinckley, MN for $700 and yesterday, Jan 9th, I finished in 8th at the weekly Trump Casino Indiana tourney and won $900.00. There are 120 players in this event and I finished at the final table 2 out of 3 times.
So as you can see, the recent winnings have more than covered the cost of the boot camp. It took a couple of tournaments after boot camp to get a feeling and to practice what I was taught --- as you can see--it's starting to work. I finished at the final table in five of the last seven tournaments that I played in.
