So my flight and hotel are booked, I'm pre-registered for the WSOP, and it's less than 4 weeks until I set foot in Las Vegas for the first time EVER! I've played live in a casino before of course, in both small card rooms in the Seattle area and the larger Atlantic City venues. This will also be my first WPBT event. I was able to attend the Bash at the Boat that AlCantHang puts on every year and meet some of the bloggers in attendance. Hopefully more of you will be showing up in June.
I'm looking for some feedback as to the daily tournaments that are run Monday through Friday in Vegas. My plan is to possibly not play as much poker while in town as I originally planned and do some additional lounging by the pool and drinking. Since the WSOP will be going on I figure that the other daily tournaments might provide good value by having smaller and softer fields. Can anybody recommend specific tournaments under a $300 buyin that happen on Wednesday night, Thursdays, or Friday during the day?
Oh and just an FYI, I'll be arriving 5pm on the 6th and flying out the morning of the 11th. My place of residence while in town will be Hooters...
I am just comming down off of my adrenaline rush. So I will make this short and sweet for now. Thanks to the generosity of Al, along with a deal made at the final table, yours truly will be playing in the WSOP during this summers WPBT gathering. It's the first one that I'll actually be attending so I will be disappointed by not playing the tournament on Saturday. However, this of course is tempered by the fact that I'll be playing in my first WSOP event.
I'll be playing in event #15, the $1500 NL event. I am also giving 1% of my action to all of my fellow bloggers that made the final table in the sat. That way at least I'll get SOMEBODY to railbird me

Just thought that I would regurgitate some info for all of my fellow degenerates out there from Al:
Now for a little bit of what I've been working on the side with some friends of yours. A couple weeks ago I was able to hang out with Hoyazo down in AC for too short of a time, but long enough to kick some thoughts around. Separately we'd both had the idea of working something out between several of the blogger hosted events. I've working with Mookie in the past (the master of photoshop) and we quickly formulated a plan to see who's the best among our blogger events. Hence was born the Battle of the Blogger Tournament challenge. Starting next week, we are going to track and rank the players involved in the weekly MATH, weekly Mookie, and Riverchaser events (two $24+2 Sunday HORSE tourneys also) using the trusty PokerStars TLB point system. The challenge will last for three months. That is 13 weeks and 36 separate events. We want to see who is really the best player between the three regular events and should have MiamiDon (most recent Mookie winner) set the odds for us. What do you get out of this? Once we crown our 'champion' on June 28th, the three of us are going to buy that player into the Big Sunday night guarantee tournament of their choice on either PokerStar or Full Tilt Poker. A chance to play for the big money on our dime. We also have other prizes to throw into the mix. PokerOnAMac.com stepped up first to sponsor the challenge and they decided to try something different from iPods this time. Thanks to PokerOnAMac, we'll also be giving away a Nintendo Wii system and a Nintendo DS Lite. We will be adding to the prizes and will update as they come along. So here's your challenge. Can you beat the best across three months and 36 events? Time to step up and show what you can do. The first event is the MATH on April 2nd, the last event is Riverchasers on June 28th.
