My Schedule

Hi Everyone!

My WSOP Adventure is a bucket list item, a gift from my lovely wife Sue for my 65th birthday. I'm hoping to be able to post something on this blog every day...we'll see.

My adventure will start this Friday with the trip to Las Vegas. I am playing in two events, both No Limit Texas Hold-em tournaments. One is for the over-50 crowd, the other is an open event.

Here's my itinerary:

• Friday June 10     Leave for Las Vegas. Staying at The Rio, which is WSOP headquarters.
• Sunday June 12   First tournament, an open NLHE event expected to attract about 3000 players. It is scheduled for 3 days, but you really have to be good and/or very lucky to make it to Day 3. I hope to last through Day 1.
• Tuesday June 14   Sue arrives for some fun together.
• Friday June 17   Second tournament, the NLHE event for seniors. This is also scheduled for 3 days and also expected to attract 3000+ players.
• Monday June 20   Return to Rochester.

One fun thing is that a buddy from our old poker group in Texas is also playing in the senior event. He and his wife are arriving the day before the tournament, so Sue and I will get together with them probably on Thursday night June 16.

Gotta go. Trying to remember if a flush beats a straight or vice-versa!
