Freeroll into the Main Event of the '08 WSOP

I had to come on up to Memphis for work this week, and low and behold, there are having "Freerolls" at the The Grand Casino for the WSOP. I was kind of pumped on my way here as I knew I would be able to get some weekly tournament play under my belt before the WPT event in Biloxi. The Grand has decided to run 2 freerolls for entry into some WSOP events. You start with $1000.00 in chips and the blinds start at 25-50 and go up every 15 min.

1st Place wins seat to '08 Main Event of WSOP and $2000.00 cash
2nd Place wins a seat to the WSOP Circuit event at te Grand next month and $1500.00 cash
3rd Place wins $2500.00 in WSOP buy-in chips for the Circuit Event and $500.00 cash

The tournaments are opened to all Total Rewards card holders. You must have played 4 hours of live play to qualify, and they are only taking 176 players and alternates. Players can also receive $200.00 in extra chips for every 4 hours played on top of the 4 original hours.

I will be going in at a huge disadvantage as I qualifies last night at midnight. I will not be able to play today as I am working, so I won;t be able to accumulate any more chips. I have been talking to several people today about strategies on how to play the tournament. I am sure it is going to be "Ram and Jam". The sweet thing about it is its "Free"...and I picked up $135.00 last night playing in the live games.

I also played in the Monday night $35/$15 freeze-out at Sam's Town yesterday before I went qualify. I was able to accumulate an above average chip stack going into the 8th round, and then I completely fell apart. I did my version of the "Matasow Blow-up". I busted out in 2 hands. How sick is that. I was pissed at myself for playing so stupid.

Well...wish me luck in the "blood-bath" Freeroll tonight. I am on a mission. I have my eye on the prize so lets see if I make it...or crash and burn.
