Yep - that is the one. When i signed up for it, i wasnt even really thinking it through. And i sort of thought it was a package deal as well. But, you get the buy-in and $1k cash - which i am obviously putting towards the trip costs. This is kinda cool though - luckily i have some WCOOP money left - going to take some of that and make this a nice trip for me and the wifey-wife. If i bust out early - no biggie, i am in AUSTRALIA!

I checked out the official website - they had like 260ish in it last year - i am thinking that even if they double their numbers - still an interesting field. Of course, i suspect all these players will be REALLY good -since the field is so small and buy-in so high. I like to be aggressive - i think i will take that approach and turn it up a notch - might hvae to rely on aggression and luck in that event.

I havent said anything in thread yet but want to wish you the best. Way to go and nice job comming out of your slump you were in. One of the hardest things to do is come out of those slumps, again nice job and I wish you the best.

I wouldn't count on that. Australia is REALLY far away, and I believe this is not a WPT event, right? So I'm thinking most of the pros probably skip this one... especially with it being immediately after the Bahamas event that I know they will all be attending.

All I'm saying is I don't think the field will be nearly as bad as you think. And I think you're going to cash and maybe even go deep. Let me be the first to say I'd like to buy 1 or 2% of you if you decide to sell some shares to help cover your airfare costs, etc....
