WSOP here i come

just booked my hotel at the MGM for a week

going to play 3 $1,500 NL events while im there and some cash games... maybe a few satelites too..

ive been planning this all year!


who else is going

very nice paranormal
good luck and i hope to see u on TV

WOWSIES, that is like the uberness of coolness. Hope you play well, jsut enjoy it more than anything.

only 3 years till i can play there, damn 21 rule

Yeah another year for me.... very sick+awesome. Id love to play at wsop

Best of luck to ya! You know we'll all be cheering you on from here.

Got CC gear to wear on TV?

where can i get CC gear?

right here-- Cardschat.com Online Poker Store & Merchandise

If you cash big(ish) in one of the $1500 events, are you planning on sticking around to take a shot at the ME?

I'll be turning 21 just before the events start, so maybe if I got the cash I'll be there. Maybe catch me a sponsor before that...

thats the plan WV

Sound like a good idea for a blog or thread to tell us of you experience.

Gl ill be rooting for you.

Sounds awesome; keep us updated with your progress!

Im not very good at grammar and english but i wil write a day to day from the hotel at night after each day giving a rundown of how things are for you guys.. maybe a few pics of me sitting behind giant stacks of chips.. LOL

Im actually debating this one. If I do go im going from Jun 2nd to June 7th to play in the first 2k NL holdem event. I may just go, see what its like and do it next year, but if I am playing well I plan on playing the 2k NL event. Was gonna do one of the 1.5k's too but decided not to. If your gonna be there when I am let me know, ill definitely be playing some satty's and regular tournies I know that. Lets hope we can cash big and take a shot at the ME!

no im going frm june 19th to the 28th that way if i make money for the ME im not there for a whole month just another week... lol

That's awesome man. You will have a great time. I highly recommend finding the booth that takes your picture during the tourney. Then you can buy the pic later on. It makes for a very nice momento.

I also recommend getting breakfast in the cafe in the hallway leading to the Amazon Room in the Rio. I think it's called the San Paulo or Sao Paulo Cafe. Either way, they have a decent enough breakfast there, and you will want a full stomach before playing.

Also, during your breaks, make sure you take a break. While it's exciting to call family and friends about your progress, I found it ate up my entire break. By the time the dinner break was rolling around I was tuckered out and hardly played a hand that final half hour. If you feel you need to call to give progress, just pick one person and have them farm out the info to your other friends.

Good luck and have a blast!

gl make us proud
dont fold AA preflop first hand

get this guy some CC gear stat!

Just so you are aware, you need a Total Rewards card to play in any of the events.

Here's a link for info:

I got mine at Harrahs in December, I believe you can get one at any of the casinos in their group ie. Rio, Caesers, Ballys, Flamingo to name a few.

see thats how I kinda was, but then I realized if I do cash enough to make it in the ME then odds are Ill have enough to just fly back and get a room later. Just have fun and dont get burnt out man, thats a long time in Vegas. Hopefully ill be makin my way back to vegas around there lol

Congrats on the decision to go for it. Looks like you have things set up right. Just relax and play your game now.
Hope the cards go your way, I will look forward to hearing of your experience.

My only hope is the $110 ticket I won on Doyles. 1 person for every 130 entered gets a $13,000 prize package. It plays April 20th. I am a good player, not great. But there is never a tournament that I enter that I do not believe that I can win it outright.

Oh, won the ticket in a freeroll.

where is a good site to go to find out about local tournaments that will be televised like the degree poker event?
