The W$ are given like T$ but for any event that is world series or WCOOP.
Basically you can use them to buy into any other world series event or qualifier but seemingly nothing else.

They're no where near as valuable as T$, hence me wishing to sell them.


History trip then:

I opened an account at Pacific Poker on my 18th birthday and deposited $80, netting another $20 in bonus. I had been playing 7 stud for matchsticks with my family for years so I went to the low limit cash stud tables and started grinding out a roll. It was up to $3500 in no time once I started taking shots at higher levels playing very under rolled.

Obv I thought I was invincible and after cashing out $2000 after about 4 weeks play I lost the rest.

Took a little break and read some literature on the game and found some forums. Basically I learnt how to play well and more importantly bankroll management before it was too late. I went back to Pacific and got up to 10000 in about 2 months playing properly (for about 6 hours a day while at uni). I realised I needed the money for course fees and such things fairly badly and so cashed it all out except for $300 which I quickly lost playing stupid limits and MTT's.

Pretty quickly wanted to be playing poker again and found Pokerstars. This time after finding FTR, I concentrated on SNG's, while playing a variety of side games, and in about 5 months took my roll of $250 to 10k again. I was ecstatic but once again money worries came down on me and I withdrew.

I had found a niche playing the less popular online games like stud and draw, with a good ROI in the turbo sng's too. However, with no money to really devote to online poker, I tried to bonus whore various sites for pretty much the last 2 months for quick profits, and cutting a long story short, ended about $30 in profit for a big waste of time.

I'm going back to uni in about a months time so over this summer I planned to settle down and grind up a bankroll that I could keep on Stars and keep grinding away. I picked up a full-time job over the summer break for 11 weeks so I have enough money to keep me on track at uni, and now I feel less pressure playing poker.

Which is where this blog started.

I feel most at home playing games other than hold'em as I feel I have a greater edge over the competition. I've never really focuseed on hold'em at all and I doubt I ever will (obviously talking about cash here, not tournies).

Now I've also found that satellites are amazing value and I can play those too. This time when my roll reaches 10k I wont have to withdraw anything and I'll set up a new operation which I really haven't thought about yet.
