Can Anything Cure This Itch?
June 04, 2008I've been following all of the great PokerNews Live Reporting of all of the WSOP events so far and damn, it's given me the itch to go. So far, PokerNews has told me where to eat, party, and play while I'm in Vegas. The only problem is I haven't won a seat yet. It's always the details that bite you.
OK. So I look at it as having 5 more chances to get a seat:
1. The Bodog 5 Seat Guaranteed. Only 5 seats but it should be a relatively small field.
2. The WSOP Freeroll on PoolStars. But I'd have to get VERY lucky.
3. PokerNews Freeroll on Duplicate. Not really poker but WTF.
4. The Chris Moneymaker tourney on PokerStars. I won't buy in but may try to satellite.
5. The 200 Seat Guaranteed on PokerStars. $370 and it should be a HUGE field.Oh yeah, I forgot about lottery tickets. Better chance of winning on PoolStars.
I've got to find a way to get a seat or this will be one sad summer.

2008 WSOP
May 06, 2008I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. I guess when you reach a certain age, you qualify to be reflective of things in your life. One thing that seems to consume a lot of my time (and I'm glad that it does) is poker. I play online 40+ hours per week. I play in a live home game once/week. I moderate the forum here on PokerNews. I read as much strategy and other poker books and articles as possible. Simply, poker is a large part of my life right now.
I qualified for the 2006 WSOP on Pacific. Now with the UIGEA, that's not an option. So I play the US friendly sites. I'm working on various ways to get my 2008 seat. I'm qualified on PoolStars for their WSOP final. I'm qualified on Bodog for their final. I'm working on Stars to do the same.
It was almost unbearable to sit at home last year and track the tournament here on PokerNews Live Reporting. The coverage was great but I WASN'T THERE.
Time to get a seat.

WSOP Circuit Event--Tunica
August 29, 2007I finally made up my mind. I was either going to play in a few minor events at the WSOP Circuit Event in Tunica or at the WPT Event in Biloxi. Well, I'm Tunica bound as soon as I get home from work tomorrow. That way I can play in a tourney Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I'll report the results in later posts. Wish me luck.
