Tentative Vegas Tourney schedule...

With an abundance of good structured tournaments, to suit all pockets, taking place throughout June, this is currently my proposed schedule -

June 20th - Arrive
June 21st - Binion's Poker Classic $200 PLHE, 5000 chips, 30 min clock
June 22nd - Binion's Poker Classic $100 NLHE, 3500 chips, 30 min clock
June 23rd - WSOP $1500 NLHE, 3000 chips, 60 min clock - Courtesy of Virgin Poker :-)
June 24th - Hopefully Day 2 of above!! If not Binions $10k Gtd, $110, 3500 chips, 20 min clock
June 25th - Day 3??? If not then WSOP Seniors $1000, 2000 chips, 60 min clock
June 26th - Day 2 of WSOP Seniors, or Venetian Deep Stack $330 PLO, 6000 chips, ? clock
June 27th - Day 3 of WSOP Seniors
June 28th - Morning... buy another suitcase to carry all the $$$$, Afternoon... Home :-(

Undoubtedly some cash play as well to try and keep the coffers full.

Virgin WSOP STT Challenge... Ship It!!

A superb 'joint effort' last night saw the Team Rodent WSOP bankroll boosted to the tune of $2000... I thought it only fair to go 50/50 with Teresa, after all she played and won the 5 man final, taking down one of the $4k WSOP packages... with just a minimum of advice from yours truly!!

I know! Generous to a fault. :-)

The Witney (inc. Carterton) Mob* fly to Dublin tomorrow morning to mount a combined assault on the weekend's APAT Irish Championship. Hopefully we can find a tournament on Friday night to hone our skills (Guiness may dictate otherwise!!), ready for the 2 day main event starting Saturday afternoon.

Possible WSOP bankroll boost...

My wife has been playing on my Virgin Poker account for the last 5 or 6 weeks. About 5 weeks ago, out of the blue, I get an email from the poker room manager congratulating 'me' on finishing first in Week 1 of their new STT challenge???

The prize is seat in a 5 player STT Final (which takes place tonight). 1st & 2nd in the final win entry into the WSOP $1500 NLHE event on June 23rd, plus $2500 expenses... 3rd place gets 40000 V-points... 4th & 5th 20000 V-points.
