Event # 6 preview

Event #6 is a straight forward $2,000 buy in No limit hold 'em event. Last year there were two events of this type and size. The first was event #9 last year and had 1,403 entrants with first place of $611,795, 9th was $51,630 and 140th paid $2,325. Event #29 was a little smaller at around 1100 entrants (I actually played in #29 last year). I've been playing really well and look forward to taking another shot tomorrow.

On another note a few people have mentioned that they can't find me on Pokerpages.com or Cardplayer.com updates. The reason why is these updates are submitted by about a half dozen little men who are running around the torunament area making notes of who has how many chips. They know that for the most part the people reading their updates only care about the big name players so that's who they focus on. Once you get into the money they include more names and let you know when everyone is eliminated, but before that you won't see anything about me.

What Dave means is you won't see anything about him... UNTIL he eliminates a big-name player!

A young wise man once said, "...in the long run everyone gets the same distribution of cards and skill alone separates the winning players from the losing ones..." Remember those words and keep bringing your A game!

Are the men actually little? They should only employ bona fide midgets for the job of chip counter. They could scurry about like the Gringotts Gremlins with giant quill pens and tiny scrolls of paper upon which to write their information. It would be amusing. Maybe the people in charge of marketing for the next Harry Potter movie should consider this. It would be aired on ESPN after all.

My WSOP 2023 Plans and Missions

After four and a half years working for StubHub I wrapped up my time there in March. I've been at the poker tables 3-4 days a week since...
