Prepping for Vegas & WSOP (yay)

Welp, WSOP is upon us again. Today is the official beginning. Like last year, I'm planning on playing in at least one event. This year it's another $1,500 no limit event, a 3-day event beginning next Friday, June 4 (Event #11). Hopefully, I'll play as well as I did last year. Better still, I hope I'll run better! (See last year's blog for my trip report).

This year, unlike last, I'm making a concerted effort to get into the Main Event. I've always put the idea off because I didn't feel ready to push through the qualifying rounds. This year I'm doing just that, and making progress, though I still don't have a seat. Lots of time, though.

To prepare for WSOP, I'm playing in a live tournament at the Bike tomorrow night. It's the main event of a little deep stack series that the Bike has had going this week. Just a $215 but starts w/25,000 chips and 50/100 blinds, so 250 blinds deep at least for the first half hour. Should be a blast.

Then, Sunday afternoon, I'm playing in a $700 qualifier on Stars for the Main Event.

Whew, no rest for the wicked! I'm glad it's a long weekend so I can spend Monday zzzzz....
