How to have an Infinite return on investment

Ok, so this is one of the sickest things I've heard of in a while. My friend Kyle, who was my roomate in Vegas a few summers ago got invited to play in this freeroll, $250k gauranteed poker tournament at the Monte Carlo(? i think that was the casino). He was invited by their casino host because he like to play quite a bit of blackjack. When he told me about it, we both concluded that it was a pretty sick opportunity assuming that most of the people playing in the tournament would have very little knowledge about poker since they are mostly just huge table game whales.

The tournament was this past weekend, and although I'm not sure how many runners it got(maybe a few hundred at most would be my guess), Kyle ended up taking it down for $75k. Now that is a sick score. I haven't heard from him yet this morning, so hopefully he survived last night because God only knows what kind of trouble you can get into in Las Vegas with 75,000 newly acquired dollars. So shoutout to Tymo for an awesomely donkament, and for turning all of those -EV hours at the blackjack tables into a profitable proposition!

As for me, I just got home from Virginia Beach last night. Kim and I went home because my mom and some of her friends threw her a bridal shower. The weekend was a lot of fun, and now we are on the homestretch, sprinting towards the wedding that is now 12 days away.

Poker wise, I played a little bit on Friday before I went to pick Kim up for work and head to the airport. I managed to make $500ish then. I played a little bit on Saturday afternoon and made about $600. And today, I just got done with a very short session, netting about $800. I had to quit the session tho because my internet is acting very weird. I don't know what is wrong but it is painfully slow. Hopefully Comcast fixes the problem in the next couple of hours so that I can get a few more hours of poker in today. Talk to you guys later.
