WCOOP 2007
The Pokerstars World Championship of Online Poker started yesterday and I plan to enter as many of the events as I can. Last year I made a final table in an Omaha event. Hopefully I can make another final table this year.
This is my finishing in event one, the $215 NLHE(6-max). I was going pretty steady in this event but busted out with KK all in pre vs AK. This would have given me a decently above average stack.
This is my finishing in event two, the $215 PL 5-card Draw. I was going good in this event also, amongst the top 50 chip leaders until I picked up a pat king high flush. Someone limped UTG which was called by the villain, I raised big and the UTG folded and the villain called. I stood pat and he drew 1 card at which point I put him on a four flush or straight draw. I thought he would raise his two pairs vs an open limper. I bet big on the river which he called with his ace high flush. He said he didn't draw the A which made me feel 1% better. I went out soon after this hand.
Events today are the $215 PLO(6-max) and the $215 2-7 Triple Draw.

I thought your stars name was something else?
aw, busted by the nut full.
to the retarded who think that you can't make a living out of magic the gathering:
R E T A R D E D
the greatest professional poker players who are destroying the highest stakes online built their bankrool on magic the gathering.
ask kaibuxxe where he got his monster bankroll. He was making a great live out of magic the gathering before getting bored with it.
other professional magic the gathering who turned online pro are:
gobboboy (jimmy frecke)
dario minieri
many others....

KaiBuxxe? Are you under the impression that KaiBuxxe is Kai Budde? They aren't the same person
Kind of cute that you name two players that you mistakenly think built their rolls off MTG, then say "Many others"... lol, really straining to find names I guess
Just look at the lifetime winnings list. Kai Budde (who is not KaiBuxxe) is at the top of that list at around $350,000. It took him 6+ years to win all of that, for an average of less than $60,000 per year
He's quit the game
So out of millions of MTG players, the most successful one was only able to sustain 60 grand for like 6 years before quitting
That's barely livable
Yeah, I suppose you can scrape by on the bare minimum in life if you plan on being the single best MTG player in the world (which would entail getting MASSIVELY lucky in a LOT of tournaments, but that's a different argument I guess)
And Gobboboy did not make a living out of MTG, neither did Dario Minieri
Winning a few MTG tournaments and using some of the winnings to start playing online poker, does not qualify as "making a living out of MTG"
You're obviously all caught up in the fantasy of being a professional MTG player, so let me do you the favor of crushing those pipe dreams
It's impossible to sustain a livable income off of MTG, the only players that do are only able to do so for a very short time because they got very lucky
99%+ of MTG players will run a net loss over their careers, never winning very much while spending plenty on cards and tournament entry fees
Sorry!
