Deep Stack ? is it what you really want?

2 years ago i played one of the Pokerstars "deep stacks" tourneys. It was a 300 runner , 5000 chip job with half hour blinds and i thought would give lots of play. It sure did give lots of play ~ almost 6 hours of play for me to finish on the bubble.

I thought after that , NEVER again.

Well last night something possessed me and i signed up for a $20 deep stack PL Om8 tourney on stars. This time 7 and a half bloody hours and although i made the final table for about $100 , i had just had enough and was almost glad to get knocked out.
NEVER AGAIN !

I was thinking of giving the European Deep stack tourneys a go http://www.greenjokerpoker.com/edpc2008.html, with 50,000 chips and a Hour blind, means i could sit out the first two days and still be in the tourney !!
Do i really want to play that long for nothing?
Tempted for the Omaha though, if i can drive by then i will probably go and play it.

As for the online cash, has been going steady picking up a little at Stars and just stuck for about $50 now. On Crypto played about 300 MPPs and will need to get on there and ensure i complete the $500 bonus as soon as possible, just the 3100 MPPs to go !

Next time i will chat about the Blue Square league, and my thoughts on value tourneys and sats.

Keep dealing and Stay Lucky
