ship it

The 2009 World series of poker (WSOP) is underway and I finally managed to satellite into the main event on my 4th try via a $650 satellite on Cake. 3 seats were guaranteed (12k packages for the winners), I pretty much got into cruise control from 30 left and went into the final table 2nd in chips. Was a pretty easy run in the home stretch, something that has not happened lately in tournaments for me.

Anyway the package includes : the 10k tournament buy-in plus 2k in expenses for the main event or the 10k buyin plus 1k travel expenses plus 5 day stay at the Rio,Vegas.
Heres how the main event schedule looks this year:

Fri, Jul 3rd 12:00 PM 13-Day Event		World Championship No-Limit Texas Hold'em (Event 57) No Rebuy/Add-ons July 3,2009 12:00 PM Day 1A (3,000 players) July 4,2009 12:00 PM Day 1B (3,000 players) July 5,2009 12:00 PM Day 1C (3,000 players) July 6,2009 12:00 PM Day 1D (3,000 players) July 7,2009 12:00 PM Day 2A July 8,2009 12:00 PM Day 2B July 9,2009 12:00 PM Media Event July 10,2009 12:00 PM Day 3 July 11,2009 12:00 PM Day 4 July 12,2009 12:00 PM Day 5 July 13,2009 12:00 PM Day 6 July 14,2009 12:00 PM Day 7 July 15,2009 12:00 PM Day 8 November 7-10,2009 TBD FINAL TABLE Structure Sheet		$10,000

All I need to do now is squeeze in a vacation from work, my wife will make the trip with me, her first poker trip, unless she has some really pressing issues at schools (her phd qualifiers are right after the summer). For the time being I redeemed the package from Cake-poker as there are a ton of stuff that needs to go right at work for my vacation to come through, allowing me to play. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

big day tomorrow

Lately I have been playing cash games mostly online with the occassional shot at a tournament without much success. I can go on and on about the sick beats, coolers that I've had in tourneys recently, but then again I am not playing those too well either.
Usually when I am playing a couple of tournaments, I'd open up some Heads-up cash games and end up focusing on those.

Anyway tomorrow is a potential big day, am playing 4 biggies tomorrow. Heres the schedule:

• $13 100k guarantee MiniFTOPS event 22 1:05PM
• $126 1 million guarantee FTOPS event 22 1:00PM
• $55 500k guarantee MiniFTOPS main event 6:05 PM
• $550 5 million guarantee FTOPS main event 6:00 PM

I need to try and keep my focus as lately in tourneys I am losing my focus pretty quickly. Also RUN GOOD ONE TIME. Godspeed

Eech beach pear plumb in comes tom thumb

On the memorial day weekend and no its not gonna be a choc-a-bloc teeming-with-millions beach. As per the brochure, if we are willing to drive a tad we can potentially have 50 miles of pristine beach all to ourselves.

WOOOOT.
