Wsop
Well, I've decided to begin to take a shot at some WSOP sattys. I was going to go through Stars for tournaments, but I had about 700 on Full Tilt (from the 400 that Mayhem swapped with me), so I figured I'd look at their structures also.
I played some 2/4 NL (6 max  ) (yes Im crazy playing with 1/2 my TILT money on the table but whatever) for 2.5 hours tonight and came up $29 dollars. Thats right $29!  . Afterwards I started looking around for WSOP sattys. Apparently Tilt was Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday ones. The Tuesday ones work best obviously since it's my only day off. I see a 24+2 SNG with the winner getting a seat in the WSOP qualifier (naturally Sundays qualifier, which I didn't realize till after the tournament started). Well I managed to take that down, so Im in the real satty for $26  Interesting hands include: KK vs QT all in preflop. Flop QQx. Turn K and 44 (me) vs KK and AJ in a standard raised pot. 54J flop. AJ moves in KK moves in I call And the final HU hand where I am a slight chip leader. 54, flop comes 552. I check opponent bets 5200 all in (blinds 80/160) I call he flips K2 and I win.Whether or not I'll be able to make Sundays qualifier I don't know (I may download TILT at work, and hope things die down before 9 (i usually am completely done by 10 on sundays) so I can play there.... otherwise I figure I'll jus unregister and get T$ (Tilt does have those right?) Regardless, I am going to be making an effort to win a WSOP seat this year (unlike last year). My boss is a poker fan, so he'll have to understand giving me the week off Here's to hoping I see some of you down there (and I get there myself)

I figured I would at least make a half assed effort at this. Wasnt planning on playing last night, but at 1am, while about to watch Poker After Dark, I noticed a 400FPP sat. starting on Stars, so I figured wtf. Was able to win my seat into Sunday qualifier (2 seats awarded).
So, GL to the both of us!!

I think we need to make a sticky thread with when we're all planning to be down there. I was originally going for the first weekend of june, but it looks like I cant make it till the 14th. Im gonna be bringing my GF at least, and hopefully my whole crew if they can get their shit straight in time. I cant wait!

Keep in mind, the Expo probably won't be anything like it's been in years past, if it's anything at all... Harrah's will surely be distancing themselves from the online poker sites - and that made up 95% of the expo...
I'm still not sure if I'm going down for week 1 or week 2 yet, but I'm leaning towards week 1. I really want to play in that opening $1500 event. |

I'm playing in the $1500 NLHE tourney on Saturday the 23rd. Hopefully you cash in the first event and end up staying down there till then.
