WSOP time again

May 31, 2009 // Posted by DeathDonkey in Life  

Weeee I wasn't even remotely excited for the WSOP until a few days ago, and now the 40k event got started and suddenly it seems awesome. I'm headed out tomorrow night and should be there most of June. I am planning on playing a couple LHE events, the triple draw event, and some live cash games. Also looking forward to meeting a bunch of DC and 2+2 LHE guys who are going to be out there ruining the games.

This month I've been playing a bit more online, with typical LHE swings. Though I'm definitely getting back into the swing of things, finding some good games. I even chased a maniac up to Stars 100/200 which I haven't played online in awhile, usually because I don't feel I have an edge in a lot of lineups, but this was certainly an exception. It's sort of funny having played a lot of different limits over the years, one thing you want to avoid is not taking a smaller game seriously, which some guys can never figure out and never get back to the level they were at before having to drop down. On the other hand, its somewhat nice to jump into a pretty big game and not have the complete overwhelming terror that I felt the first time I ever played 100/200 online. It's certainly a familiar game and you don't have to worry about making tilty mistakes just due to the stakes involved.

Hopefully I can play well at all limits in Vegas, sometimes I get in games with 2+2ers, other pros I know, etc. and have way too much fun. Winning $ at the WSOP for once would be a new kind of fun I think :P

Updates to come from Vegas sporadically, hopefully it will be like last year and I can post about some tourney runs, but that's probably pretty optimistic.
