Warrior League 2012 – Tourney # 2: Turbo Doublestack

Finally, today was my start into iPoker’s Warrior League 2012 to try to make my way to this year’s WSOP. All together 253 players have signed up for the league, which I do believe is not a lot. The second tourney was a Turbo Doublestack, meaning 5min blinds and a 3,000 starting stack. It took me until the very last hand to get the first big hand on the button: my AA beat big stack’s pocket 10 and shorties A3 in a 3-way preflop allin.

I went into the break with more than 10k, but lost every hand from that point on after the break against shorties shoves: A9 < AJ, JJ < AA and 55 being a shorty myself vs. 99. Busting in 94^th place awards me my first 9 points for the leaderboard – oh well, it was a start:

Warrior League 2012 – Tourney # 1: FAIL!

The start could have been a better one,  but at least I have saved some money: I did not make the registration in time, because registration closed three hours (!!!) before the first tourney started, which I did not notice early enough. I was five minutes late and that way, I will only be playing five out of six preliminary tourneys. At least Titan Poker created a second no-play tourney for players, who want to start with the second tourney with a lower entry fee. Therefore I will only have 150 € invested in the league, but have to play and hopefully return good results in every of the five remaining tourneys to qualify for the final.

Feel free to have a look at the chart below, just in case you have not checked out the complete prize structure of the Warrior League 2012 yet:

Overview of investors’ shares

Since CMU more or less forced me to close out the listed events for this project on their site due to my long inactivity, I paid out almost every shareholder that was invested through CMU. A couple asked me to keep their shares to have the project run without the support of CMU – therefore the overall number of investors is cut down to only five individuals instead of more than ten and the percentage of investors’ shares in the project is no longer round about 50 % but 27.5 %. Below you can see the overview of investors after the payout of CMU:

Today is the first of six preliminary tourneys of iPoker’s “Warrior League 2012”. After enjoying a few days without playing online, I am ready to start something in this league and hopefully win a package for this year’s WSOP in Las Vegas this summer. I reactivated my account at Titan Poker, even though it was possible to play the league through any iPoker skin. The first (and all others) tourney(s) will start at 9pm GMT+1 – wish me all the best of luck!
