In Preparation for the WSOP
Aside from the reading, and the math problems, and, y’know, the actual playing of poker, I’ve been scouring the intertubes for experiences about the ladies’ event. I found this article both informative and hilarious.
I’m Going to the WSOP!
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!!
A Poker Tournament for Bloggers!
Those of you who know me in real life know that I play in a poker homegame some weekends. I like to play online for free, too, and read blogs, and watch it on TV, and all that good stuff. So when I found out about this bloggers-only tournament, I pretty much signed up right away. My name on PokerStars is kuroikirin, and the tournament is a week from Sunday, so if you have a chance come by and root for me!
I have registered to play in the PokerStars World Blogger Championship of Online Poker!
This Online Poker Tournament is a No Limit Texas Holdem event exclusive to Bloggers.
