I played in a ladies-only poker tournament at the local casino tonight, and I took it down for eight hundred bucks and a buy-in to the ladies tournament at the World Series of Poker! I’m going! It’s really happening!

It was kind of a lark to play, I almost didn’t go. I’m so glad I did. I made exactly two bonehead mistakes- one was that I thought somebody raised and I folded my big blind. It didn’t hit, so it was more embarrassing than anything else. The other was a too-big raise on a marginal hand out of position, and the girl was hitting cards like crazy. Anyway I made up for it. I knocked out maybe a third of the feild (which was 27 total), and I had a big chip lead when we got to the head-to-head. The other person said “so, I can’t go to Vegas- I have kids and can’t get a sitter- can I just forfeit for 2nd?”

Wait, what? Seriously? Yeah, seriously. And that was it. So they took my information, and they’re sending me a check and a hat and a t-shirt, and I’m going!

OMG!!
