I like the idea of not having a chip count goal, screw that. I have heard a few people say they want xxx amount to start day two or it's not worth it, BS.
Play EVERY hand the best you can, doesn't matter if you come back from 2000 chips or if you chip up to 100,000 the first day, as long as you have them all in the end. Obviously the 100K stack makes it easier but I guess I'm saying don't let a goal of 50K dictate your play at the beginning. I don't know if you'll see this before you play today or not TP, but best wishes, I'm honestly rooting for you hard!

Well, hey, look at this way - with the $32 you're up from the cash games, you can now cover the juice on the ATM withdrawl!

TP-best of luck. I ain't going to offer any advice, just good luck.
PS-Merells are nice comfy shoes, well done. But if you have time, try to pick up a pair of. They are ugly as sin, but the most comfy shoes/sandals out there. |

Yeah, that ridiculous - the "it's not worth it" part. What, if you only have 5 BBs, it's not worth getting up and going to the Rio for a shot at $10 million??? On what is basically (at this point) a freeroll for you, since you've already paid?
Specific chip goals are fine, so long as you don't let them dictate your play. And since it's not really a goal if you don't work towards it, I agree that they are a bad idea. But I'll say again I'd liketo have 45k at the end of the day!  BTW, not this this will matter for anyone unless you are here in Vegas, but I will be at Table 56, Seat 8. I've scoped out the table, of course. I like the 8 seat on a table, but this one will have my back to the rail - not my first choice of where to be (people standing behind me, more body heat, etc), but I'll deal with it. Time to get ready. Catch ya on the flop side of Day 1. |

Actualy, yes you did. I'm on my way out right now, and I am READY.
Here's hoping for some good luck, or at least, very little BAD luck. |

I'm supposedly all over the updates. As soon as Mark sends me a message, I'll get it posted here.
Mind you, I *probably* (read: no way in hell am I doing this with a baby that gets up at 7am) will NOT be staying up until the end of the day. That would be about 6:30am my time... I will stay up as late as possible though to keep the updates coming in! |

I'll be up most of the night tonight, if you want to pass the update baton to me around midnight I should be able to take over.

At the moment it does appear that CardPlayer is tracking Mark as well. His chip stack is appearing in their list!

He's 11 months. He usually goes to bed between 8:30pm-9:00pm and USUALLY sleeps through until at least 7am - sometimes 8am. Once in a while he's up at 6 though...

I also think it helps that Rob and I are night owls, so it's sure to be in his genes as well.

And the first updates are in!
Mark's sent through the first updates. First off, he's hot wearing a sweatshirt. (my comment: hot? in a room with 8000 people??? go figure!
)He also said that he has no big names at his table but there is one other at the table that he has played with before. He also mentioned that one guy is out already - first hand. He didn't specify whether it was his table or another though. Mark won blinds second hand. |
