Well it has been a really good week for me here in the Texas panhandle.  Tuesday I played at a regular home game where we have been playing tournaments to start out the night.  We had two tables, and I won.  That’s right I won a multi-table tournament.  Ok so it was only two tables, but two is more than one right? 

Another reason for it to be so great is that I made plans to attend this years WSOP.  And not only attend but play.  It has been a dream for me to play at the series.  As you all know I was trying to trade my way to the series and I did manage a handful of trades.  Recently though I was contacted by an “Angel” donor who was interested in putting me in the game.  All of a sudden it was becoming a reality.  I will be playing in Event #3 the $1000 buy-in No Limit Hold Em tourney.

I'll be trying to bring the jewlery back to Texas

I will be arriving in Vegas on Saturday and starting play on Day 1B.  To say I am excited would be an understatement.  I am ready to tackle the throngs of people that are taking their shot.  I hope that all the hands I have put in over the last couple of months will pay off.  I know it can all end in one hand but hopefully with a little skill and a lot of luck I will go deep.

I'm ready to take my shot

As I promised I will be blogging while I am there, hopefully for more than a day or two.  It’s still hard to believe I will be there.  If you’re going to be there let me know and maybe we will run in to each other.  Remember to always play it like you’ve got the nuts
