SO YOU WANT TO PLAY THE MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!














Welcome to my 1st entry of 40K IN WINNINGS 2009! My first blog will consist of a live update of my play in the Sunday Million. This is a tournament that i have only played in two times; And will be my first of 2008 as well.

I have decided that in order to reach certain goals in my poker career;I also need to attack the bigger games as well. The 1st Sunday Million that i ever played was the $530 buy-in event i won a seat to. On that day i was very much in over my head and had no clue at all. And here it is now 2008 of Oct 20K in winnings later and a much more skilled MTT'r.

So can this be my lucky day, "and one in which i take down one of the biggest events of Sunday".Do i really have what it takes to filter pass all the land mines and the donkeys; While swimming with the sharks to reach that final table!

Well to be honest with myself, "I really don't know if i have what it takes"! But i know what it takes to get there indeed. So what's the game plan i ask myself????? Fuck do i even have a game plan for this thing; And with so many people entered no way i can take this thing down!!!

wannagetbetter2000: solid start for u sir
