But my goal is to play this year.

If i don't an entry i am going to buy me one.

My wife support me there really good and she know that it is one of my Dream.

So , she "ALLOWED" this year to buy me an seat.

I'll try the Quali's online and maybe lucky there

Dear Peter

Good luck to you. My wife would let me play as well but I know that my game is nowhere near good enough to have anywhere near a realistic chance of getting in the money.

I hope you have a great tournament. I'm sure if you made it to the final Table, Nick would sponser you to wear a Cardschat t-shirt!

Have you read the book Positively Fifth Street by James McManus? It's a fantastic read about a writer who had played home games for 20+ years that convinces his editor to let him write a story about what it is like to play in the WSOP.

I hope that you have a similar experience to Jim. Make sure that you write and let us know all about your experience.

Once again, good luck!

I am sure about the T-SHirt too and if i am at a final table i will SPONSOR AHUGE FREEROLL !!!!

No , i don't think that my skill is good enough to reach a final table but it will be a experience and my way to see it is that the best way to learn a game is to play it....

Maybe a lot of you guys think now that i am crazy and we are talking of a huge price i will have to pay to enter.....

BUT IT'S MY DREAM and others buy a car or do a lot of trips...

I go to the Tour this Year !!!!

Rumour has it, one lucky person on here may get the chance to play at the WSOP. The details? Well they are top secret at the moment, keep your eyes open (DUH!).

Well, thought I had a good chance to making it through a few qualifiers. I won two progressive tournaments leading to a seat for a WSOP package. There were only 48 people playing in the final tourney. Got nailed on a really bad beat and watched my dream get crushed. The beat was REALLY bad.

I had pocket AA ... the flop came up AK9. Turn card was 5 and the river was a K.

Damn, I was dancing all around the room when I saw that. Full Boat, AAA KK. Naturally, I went all-in. One guy called me and guess what ... he had pocket KK.

My keyboard is still missing a lot of the keys and my mouse is flat as a pancake. LOL

Oh well ..... that's poker.

Gonna give it a few more shots for April. ;)

It is definatley my dream! I will be there eventually. I have won several online tourneys and placed in the top 5 in real money a couple of times. I just know in my gut that I need alot more experience in real tourneys before I jump in that lion den. Unless someone gave me 10k of course lol! The most I am willing to throw down now is $110.00 max. Maybe in like 2 more years. If anyone from here goes, let us know so we can cheer them on. That would be really cool!:rock:
