Poker Blog of the Week
After reading through this week's blog of the week, you will probably agree that our English Community Super Moderator eaglestar88, is a man with a plan. In the second coming of his "Where Eagles Dare" blog, he will once again set out to win a $12k WSOP package, through the steps Sit and Go tournaments. He has it all planned out as follows:
If the diagram above seems a bit too difficult to understand, EagleStar88 assures everyone that: "Looks complicated, but it all works out, have trialled a few already". The blog is updated regularly with his progress, and he is up to $118 from the initial $100 investment.
If you are interested in playing the Steps Sit and Gos as well, this blog is an invaluable resource that you shouldn't miss out on. If you're not, pay it a visit anyway, and show EagleStar88 your support.
