Historic Event...My first blog post

Yes it's official. The HELLMUTHofFF has gone global. I have to take my hat off to the REAL Phil Hellmuth....the greatest tournament poker player of all time. I plan to take my first "bracelet" this year in Vegas on December 28. Last year I took a bad beat in week 11 with my one and only team in the FFOC.com million dollar fantasy open challenge.....a team that would have easily made the cut every subsequent week and finished in 2nd place in the Vegas bracket for $100K. And yes hold true to form as the Fantasy Football Brat and throw a tirade in my living room after week 11. It wasn't meant to be. Instead I finished 8th in the First and Goal for a pitiful $250....with a point total that I think was 9th overall out of 6,660 teams. Congrats to Schroeder and the other Vegas 15. I refuse to call you the "Elite" 15 because I was not there!

But it's a new year and I'm back with a vengeance. And I have made it my mission to win it this year without spending a dime of my money. (Sorry Stan) I will play with the 3-team pack I got for winning my league last year. Of the other $250 I won, $125 was last year's buy-in, so I have $125 to work with this year plus any referral credits I can muster (so far $150 that I know of). As of now I have 4 Q teams, one of which I can't take the credit or blame for. It was the first day or two of Q drafts and I signed up last minute because Ryan C. in the ffoc forum was begging for entries to fill a draft.....I thought I didn't get in....noticed in Round 14 that I did. It's not a horrible team but I have no idea why Matt Jones is ranked so high in the ffoc rankings and found his way onto my team when he's not even in the NFL at the moment. I bought one more Tier 1, so with the 3-pack I have 2 Tier 1's and 2 Tier 2's.....with $10 left. I won't bother posting Q teams here until later when I am dominating the Q bracket. Trying to post my first real team on here but it won't let me paste for some reason....I'll figure it out.
