Satellites suck

Just busted 131st out of 772 in the $650 on stars. 37 packages. From 200 people down, i just never had any hands, and eventually shoved 10BBs from the button with K9o, only for the small blind to wake up with QQs. Sigh. gg life. I knew it wouldn't be my tourny when i had AA, and some guy flatted with KK. Flop came A high, so i don't get my easy double up. grrr. Running out of chances now.

The Cost of Ambition

Went to Leamington yesterday to purchase a wii. While onthe bus, i started thinking about how much i've spent on WSOP satellites, and it was not fun. Here's the tally so far:

Played:
2 x Double Shootout = $430
3 x 30+R ~= $350
~4/5x 11+R Turbo ~= $250
1 x $650 = $650
2 x Step 4 entry = $430

To Play:
$550 150 seat guarantee on Full Tilt
$650 MTT on stars
$370 200 seat guarantee on Stars
$215 Team Moneymaker satellite.

Total ~= $4k.

Obviously the actual total i've spent is a lot less than this due to winning sub satellites etc (which i've grinded hard last couple of weeks and had a lot of success), but $4k is still a big proportion of my roll, and bankroll nits would throw their arms up in response to my behaviour. But damn, I want to play in WSOP. And if i don't win in any of the 4 remaining satellites, i'll just have to console myself with the fact that i was still a long way from matching jambon's effort last year (he spent >$12k to try to win a $12k package to no success). Maybe i'll be a sicko and win a seat in all 4 satellites. That'd be nice.
