Default ADHOC: Chrome (1:30 PM EDT 5/14-5/15)

at 1:30 EDT, I start ADHOC: Chrome (5 tables)

You may remember I qualified for the WSOP via the monthly Empire Freeroll in February, despite the fact that I had played less than 10 non-freeroll MTT's in my life. Beginning next week, I shift my focus from ring games to MTT's. What better way to temporarily say goodbye to limit than ADHOC? Today's goal is to make enough through play, rakeback, and bonus to pay for the trip for two to play at the WSOP.

I have the Multi and Empire reloads to clear. I will clear the multi reload first at 2/4 (~3600 hands), then the Empire at 1/2 (~1200 hands left), and will close at .5/1. I hope to partake in a .5/1 2+2 donkfest at some point. My Empire screen name was made public in the Thread about my WSOP qualifying tournament.

For caffeine, I have two 2-liters of Diet Coke and a bottle of NoDoz (1 Diet Coke 2-liter=1.25 nodoz). For entertainment, I have MLS soccer (4 games + DVR=8 hours), the Wizards-Heat game, both seasons of BBC's The Office on DVR, the Simpsons seasons 1-5, and Super Troopers and Reservoir Dogs (haven't seen either). Two empty one gallon bottles and wireless/laptop for, umm, efficiency. For food, I have two Chipotle Burritos, an ass-load of pasta, and a bunch of sandwiches I made earlier. Unlike Anders, the girlfriend is in California so I hope her pants stay on.

Best of luck, but you should have waited for ADHOC day.

I'm such a nit, I can't give up on table selection. Right now this will be my downfall reaching 7500 hands. For those who previously completed ADHOC, did you just give up on table selection and ttake the first available?

Try and post the hour # in your titles. So you're going to be pissing in to bottles?

Duly noted.

Yes, that is the use for the bottles. I have to keep my hands/hour up to par.
