Vegas Day 8 - Pokered Out

I am knackered from playing too much poker now. I was scheduled to play Binnions short handed, but I taking the day off and going to the spa for a massage. I might play a crapshoot or two tonight with the guys, if I feel up to it.

I’ve also decided not to play the WSOP $3k. I just think it’s a bad value tournament when you only get 6k in starting chips. The only upside is the press coverage and the chance to play some big name players, but when you can get a 15k starting stack at Caesars on the same day for $500, it’s clear where the best tournament is (although admittedly lower prize pool). I think Jalfont is playing it though.

I think next year I am going to come to Vegas during the main event. It’s a $10k entry, but at least you get a 20k starting stack with a 2 hour clock. If I bust out of that I can play Caesars and the Venetian.

My player profile is up on hendon mob now, but alarmingly I seem to have a large American flag fluttering above my photo and be born in “Douglasville”. I think there is another player who goes by my name who once cashed in a small circuit event, and they are getting us mixed up. I’ll write in to get them to correct it I guess.
