World Series of Poker here I come!

[Jimcs50]

I just entered a WSOP tourney for June 23-25. It starts on Saturday at 12 noon. A buddy and I are leaving for Vegas from Houston on Friday afternoon, so I will have one day to get ready and play some cash games to warm up. :)

The first day, you play from 12 pm to 2 am(if you last) then it starts up again at 2pm on Sunday and you play until the Final table ias set, and you finish up on Monday.

It is a $1500 Buyin and last years' winner in this even got the braclet and 600K. :downspin: My goal is to make it as far as possible and hopefully finish in the money, while gaining some experience.

It would be so cool to play against a well known pro and maybe even win a hand or 2 against him/her.

Wish me luck.

:)

:tu Have fun and best of luck!


$1,500 isn't too bad....I thought the buyin was like $4K for some reason.

[expander]

I thought the buy-in was 10k. $1500 is not bad at all, best of luck!!! :clap

Good luck. I suggest you use your time between now and then to come up with an intimidating nickname that ESPN can latch onto. Something dental themed perhaps? Something like "The Drill" or "Jawbreaker". Don't try to focus on your game. That's a typical rookie mistake.

Good idea.

Let's have a contest for a poker name for me.

We can use this thread for all suggestions.

Actually the Main Event is the one you are thinking about. It has a 10K Buyin. The Main Even starts the first week in July and lasts about a week to 8 days. There are 50 tourneys all together, and they have different Buyins from 1K to 50K.

It's not really a nickname, but you can earn some street cred by telling people (with some accuracy) that you're a part time loan shark.

I like The Extactor. A nickname and a byline:

Very, very cool.

I have been contemplating playing in the Women's WSOP - it's only $1000 buyin.

Good luck to you Jim, I'm sure you'll do great.

Kori, you should do that. It would be a birthday present to yourself, since it starts the day after your birthday. You would be playing against the likes of Shannon Elizabeth, Jennifer Tilly, Annie Duke, Jennifer Harmon, Kathy Liebert and Cindy Violette. That would be awesome.


Go for it.

Make me proud Jim. I think the fields will be much smaller this year so you will probably be among more pros than usual. Good luck.

[Jimcs50]

Kori, watch jennifer Tilly in action here. You might need to go against her.

I just made my reservations for my flight to Vegas so my buddy and I can play in the June 21, 2008 WSOP $1500 buy in.

This year we are going to play in some Friday Satelites to try to get in cheaper than just paying the $1500 up front. There are $100- 165 sit and goes being played all day Friday, so with some luck, we can get in for a discount this year.


Anyone of you guys want to join us in Vegas this year? PM me and I will give you some details.

[Soul_Patch]

Good luck man. My wife was going to buy me a buy in to one of the 1500 dollar NLH tournies this year for my birthday, but im just not into poker like i used to be, so i told her to save the money.



Best of luck, and keep us informed on how yuo did!

[Thunder Dan]

go all in on the first hand just to let everyone know you don't fuck around and you mean business
