Well I guess it's time to cave and start my first ever blog. At least I'm not on twitter yet 
Little intro: I'm a 22 year old university student in small city, Canada. I  poker. Yes I am actually a girl. I want to be pro so I can travel and meet people and have fun.
Earlier this week I won a €22 satellite to a €215 final to win a trip to play the Ladies Event in Monte Carlo:
The prize package is worth €3,500 and includes €1,100 Ladies tournament buy-in, five nights accommodation worth €1,300, €700 in cash for travel expenses, and entry to Vanessa Rousso’s Ladies Bootcamp (worth €300). You’ll also receive a ladies goodie bag which contains PokerStars women’s apparel and an exclusive party invite. You’ll also get the opportunity to watch the The 7th Grand Prix de Monaco Historique which runs May 1-2.
I was so excessively excited for this because I had a really good feeling about the whole thing. I've been trying sats to random locations a couple times now and I keep winning the $22 ones then doing better and better in the finals. And it's a ladies event, in Monte Carlo. I was dreaming about the win and everything. So yesterday finally rolls around, I can't close the tournament window for 2 hours before it starts hoping enough girls join so that at least 2 seats will be awarded. 2 seats were awarded. I came 3rd.
Traumatized! I'm a 50nl grinder so a €3,500 ($5k) package to Monte Carlo is the nuts for me. I REALLY want to travel and play poker somewhere live. Grrrr I was sooo ready to represent the ladies of Leggo in Monte Carlo! (lol) I also ended up going deep in some other low BI tourneys, I have no idea what the results were though. I was so focused on the only table that mattered.
There's a bit of good news: 3rd was worth €530 and there's still 4 more weeks to try. So I made like $750-800 yesterday with all my tourneys, which is a pretty good day for 50nl....so why am I so heartbroken?
I'm determined to keep trying. This is the 3rd time I've won a $22 tourney into a final to go somewhere. Vienna (24th in the final), Tallinn (9th), Monte Carlo (3rd). Monte Carlo. Monte Carlo! I figure I should win a trip somewhere eventually? It would probably help if I was better at tourneys.
...I just told my Dad about this: "Remember the Monte Carlo trip thingy?" "Yea" "I needed to come 2nd.... I came 3rd" I could literally hear the "Ohhhhh shit" in his voice and he didn't even swear...I you Dad. Happy Birthday
