Friday, February 12th, 2010

Im loving this event.
3 games every day, if you get top 5 you gather chips for the end final. So the more top 5 you get the more chips. :)

So far ive managed:

1. place in the Razz event
2. place in the Holdem event
2. place in the Badugi event
2. place in the 7 card Stud event

All together gathered 9250 chips for final event and still ½ a month to go :)

Never knew I could play all those different variations lol

as for the standard 20$+ games I havent cashed in like forever. :(

Well, since I had a fairly good run in Jan, I decided to get something I always wanted.
But since I dont run that good I decided to get one that needed some work. :)

So I bought a Porsche 924S from 1986. :) Woohoo. Had to go to Malmø to get it though, not that many S models with the 944 engine around.

Here is a pic where it stand at the dealer.
