Caleb at the Victorian Champs

Postby Caleb » Tue Aug 04, 2009 12:21 am

On Wednesday arvo I'm putting my hectic schedule of working, playing poker and sleeping aside for a full week of playing poker and sleeping..... (well, won't sleep much if last time is anything to go by)

I'm heading to Crown for the Victorian Championships. I'm playing two events for sure, plus whatever else and I can get my hands on (read: what I'm awake for) plus as many ring games as possible. I have a fairly decent bankroll so I'm looking forward to playing hard.

Ring games I'll be mainly alternating between 2/3NL, 2/5NL and 10/20 Limit Omaha. May play some PLO or the dealer's choice game again if I'm going ok by the weekend.

The events I'm playing are:
Wed 7:10pm Event 4: Terminator No-Limit Holdem ($300+$40)
$200 to prizepool, $100 bounty. 5000 start stack, 30 min blinds, no antes.

Thu 7:10pm Event 5: No-Limit Holdem $250,000 Guarantee ($500+$50)
Day 1a & 1b Thurs & Fri. Day 1c Sat is a repecharge. Day 2 is Sun
10000 start stack. 30 min blinds Day 1, 40 min blinds day 2. Antes from level 5 onwards.

I'll be taking my laptop with me so I'll be able to update this thread daily with what's been happening so hopefully I'll have some good news to share (for those who care ;) )

Any other input or suggestions are more than welcome.

Time to get excited. 8-)

Agreed. I might play Crazy Pineapple for a laugh.

My plan is currently this:

Arrive at 3:45pm Wednesday. Play all night. My mate who I'm staying with arrives 8:30am Thursday. When he gets to Crown we'll go upstairs and sort out all our Mahogany programs and such, then get the room. As soon as it is possible to check in, I'll be crashing (head first I assume).

If that's not until the afternoon then I'll need something to do to keep me awake. Crazy Pineapple might be just the thing.

So that's how I'm going to imagine you looking whilst playing.

Lol really?

Edit: That's pretty creepy.

"Too stubborn to quit, too stupid to die." This was how a Lieutenant of the Cabal once described Caleb, and he wasn't too far off. Driven by his quick wits and the shear force of his vicious nature, Caleb has become an unstoppable force of malice and spraying bullets. Using his good mix of speed and toughness along with his familiarity with a wide variety of weapons, Caleb is the brawler, the kind of person who runs into a room guns blazing, getting chewed up by everything the enemy can throw at him. But his utterly ruthless style guarantees that when he enters a fight, no one gets out alive. These traits have made him the recognized leader of the Chosen.

Filled with hate and vengeance, Caleb strives to regain what he believes was stolen from him: Leadership of the Cabal, and his love, Ophelia. A man ruled by his emotions, he'd bring the Chosen, the Cabal, and the world to the brink of destruction to get what he wants.


Describes me perfectly I think :?
