O-Poker

I booked my room at the Rio yesterday from 6/9-6/15. It think that I got a pretty good deal - $200. Nope, not $200/night. It is costing me $200 total for 6 nights thanks to a 3 free night promo, a comped 4th night, and $100/night for Friday and Saturday. I couldn't believe it when I logged into my Total Rewards account online. I thought something was wrong, because when I looked at Rio rooms (without signing into my Total Rewards account) a few weeks ago they were running $159/night for weeknights and $209/night for weekends. I almost called the reservations number, but decided to not screw anything up and just booked it online. I guess playing roulette and blackjack for a few hours last summer paid off.

I'm looking forward to meeting some bloggers while I'm out there. I couldn't make it during the official blogger gathering (the weekend before I get there), but based on Hoy's post yesterday and the comments it looks like a lot of bloggers will be out there the same time as me. Hopefully someone will put together a list. If you are going to be out there during that time and want to meet up for a few beers send me an email or leave a comment.

I haven't decided which events I will play, but have probably narrowed it down between 2 events (see below). I do plan to play a ton of cash games though. Live games are so soft.

WSOP events that I might play

June 11, noon - Event 21, No-Limit Hold'em $5,000 - Not sure if I can pull the trigger on playing this one unless I win a STT satellite or someone wants to back me for 50%.

June 12, noon - Event 23, No-Limit Hold'em $2,000 - Leaning towards this one.

I guess I'll figure out which one I'm going to play once I get out there. Having LV right around the corner should motivate me to put in a lot of cash game hands this month. I'm really liking the new FTP deep stack tables (more on that in a future posts).

Let the countdown begin - 1 month and 2 day!!! Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!
