On Thursday night I entered a $3.30 satellite to a $10,000 prize pool tournament on Jet Set Poker. I won handily. I finished with 55,000 chips and my closest competitor was 18,000. (They gave away four seats, so it didn't go until everyone was out of chips.)

The $10k tournament was today at 3:00 and I was primed and ready. This particular tournament was a Head Hunter, which means that a good chunk (a little more than half in this case I believe) of the prize pool was set aside as "bounties". Every player is assigned a bounty based on their tournament rankings for the month up until today's date. Every time you knock a person out you get that bounty.

I only managed to knock out three people for a total of approximately $130 on my way to finishing 11th place, which came with a prize of about $75.00 for a total of $204.69. I was a little choked that I didn't make it to the final table, which would have put my winnings closer to $300... or even won the damn thing and taken home over $1500, but whatever. Not bad return for $3.30.
