Dave and I have been playing long long hours trying to gain our 300 bonus Full Tilt Points to try to play the WSOP freeroll on Feb 10th. Of course the package includes everything with buy-in, flights and accommodation aswell as some spending cash.
In order to qualify we needed to download Full Tilt from pokernews and earn 300 bonus points from the 25 Jan till the 09 Feb. We are well on our way currently having earned 120 points thus far.
Multi-tabling is what we are doing as we speak and it has been some crazy action. Not too much $$$ involved with us playing the .05 - .10 no limit holdem 6 handed with a cap all in of $3. We have sit on all the tables with $6 every time and have not had a losing session so far - touch wood. Losing session being in total. One table has gone busto and the 2 tables have covered and made a little $$$$ on the side.
Things are getting better - roll at about $330 and a little change

Very quick update..........
Dave has joined me in Melbourne and everything is happening in a way that entirely was not planned. Things have gone smoothly from my end but not so sure about my boy Dave. Im no doubt Dave will update his blog any day soon explaining exactly whats happened with his trip downunder since arriving in Melbourne.
In poker terms things are slowly dropping for the bankroll. Not rapidly and not under our deposit amount. We have our heads just above water and looks like our swings havent been to bad, probably due to the $$$ amount of sit and go games we are playing.
I have sillinging been playing small cash games and have not come out a lot on top. Maybe one session or two but thats about i
Before Dave goes back on the 6th of Feb we in tandem will be trying to make some more money for the bankroll and who knows I might be joining Dave in Las Vegas for his summer during world series of poker.
Giddy Up till next time - hop on board and ride the bankroll train

It's nice here in Melbourne..... no its Melbun......you banana!!!!
After two days of very little sleep, a four hour delay, a near connection miss, and around 15 -16 hrs of flight time I finally arrived to Melbourne. Havent been able to do any sightseeing yet due to the Aussie Millions but Ive been very impressed with what Ive seen so far. I would highly recommend visiting Australia some time in your life time.
The day after I arrived. I went to work straight away for poker news to help in the floor reporting for the Aussie Millions. So its been nothing but writing and watching poker hands go down for the last 5 or so days. Its great to be part of something so big, and working with the Doctor, and Change 100 again. Also my good buddy Slippers a.k.a "The Donkey" is dealing the tournys as well. So far so good in Melbourne........Updates and stories comming very soon....

More cash for the bankroll with a 6 handed $5.50 sit and go
It’s been a while since the other two have played – as you can imagine both have hectic schedules and Dave would probably be over the pacific on his way here as we speak. So I took this opportunity to play some 6 handed poker as this was the format where I made some dollars last time.
It takes a whole of 5 minutes for this game to change. When I mean change, I mean two elimination’s and 2 big stacks. I have only played one hand – that being AhKh and stealing the blinds.
I finally get come chips and take my stack to $1840. Of course I win with my signature hand – Ks10h. and very next hand AsQc. It’s being interesting already, we are now 3 handed and I’m the short stack by only $500. Not too bad shape but the biggest advantage to me is I have not been down to a showdown yet. No-one has seen my cards yet and I’m almost thinking the other two are being so aggressive they might actually be on a crash course soon. This will guarantee me some cash if the crash course does take place but I obviously still play to win.
Crash course takes place but the short stack doubles up! Then action happens, and I double up with pocket queens. It’s all in on the flop and I’m very happy with seeing his cards - having only bottom pair and a backdoor flush draw. Blank...blank and I'm very happy to take down the pot.
Less than three hands later again crash course occurs and this time the short stack is out and I’m in the money! When we play heads up I have $2000 and he has the remaining $7000. It eventually occurred that he won but I never gave up and almost got the chip lead had his pocket 5’s hadn’t flopped my pocket 6’s. But as they say that’s poker!
The bankroll is on its way up and now has cracked the $350 mark. I have to be happy with my game now and its time to stick to the 6 handed events for the donkey. Its amazing how much work you don’t have to do to at least make the money in the 6 handed sit and go’s. Although without forgetting the game is looser and has to change a little. Card’s like K 10 and 9 10 don’t look good with a full table but 6 handed or less – are very playable cards.

A New Year and The Pro Coming Down Under For The Aussie Millions
Well its already 2008 and all the festivities are over. The first major tournament on the poker calender will be the Aussie Millions which will be played down under in Melbourne, Australia. The Rock and Is hometown, and we both will be working at the tournament. If history is to tell a story, the number's for all the tournament's will only get bigger and better.
One of the better things to come from the tournament is 'The Pro' Dave is coming along for the ride. Dave will be in Melbourne to cover the event for Pokernews and it will be the first time since Las Vegas last June/July that Monica and I have seen him. No doubt the beer will be freshly poured throughout the time Dave is here and a lot to catch up will be on the agenda. Although Dave is here till early Feb, who knows what the future holds? Maybe we can keep him here!
Live updates of all the Aussie Millions events will be on Pokernews.com, with most likely Dave giving all the information to either Change100 or the man - the Doctor to blog. We will be providing a little of our own thoughts throughout the millions on our blog but our opinion may not all be about poker!
Obviously all three of us have been busy like anyone else this time of year but blogging on our own tournaments will be happening very soon. We wish everyone the best for the new year and stand by us because their is a vibe going around that the bankroll exp will be going places!
