Poker - Fans & Players

I'm stepping up my tournament play and have plans to hit some of the bigger tournaments in the WSOP circuit events. We plan on hitting Harvey's Lake Tahoe, Harrah's Tunica, and Harrah's Rincon (San Diego).

I'm hoping to get a couple of cashes so I can play in THE big ones!

That is AWESOME!

I have checked out the Harrah's schedules also. I'm sure I'll be making my way to Rincon at some point. It's about a 5-hour drive, but I'll likely hop a plan instead. Have to get settled here in AZ first. I did play at Harrah's AK-Chin on Saturday - nothing to speak of. VERY small, and a lot of grumpy, anti-social players.

I am going to play next Saturday at Casino Arizona, they have a ladies tournament, so I hope that's a better experience

I'm already looking forward to making a trip to Vegas by year-end!

Good luck/cards Thinker! Let me know how it goes

We'll be playing a little in Vegas the first weekend in November......mostly on Saturday.

In case you're interested...

I'll definitely put it on the calendar as a possibility! After driving for 4 days to get here (to Phoenix), a 5 hour trip to Vegas would be like nothing! LOL

5-hour road trips are perfect! You know what I just found out??? The final table starts that weekend. !!!

I didn't even know it when we planned the trip. It starts that Saturday and goes for 4 days. ...ought to be plenty of poker action everywhere that weekend!

On a separate note... We have learned that when we leave out all the bs gambling we tend to do, we have been in the black with poker. We're about to start a couple of months of tournaments here in Reno. My fingers are crossed for some big paydays!!!

Yeah, those other games (or as some of my poker degen buddies like to call them "the dark side") can really screw up your bankroll!

I started 2010 with a bang... cashed 4 tournaments in a row... then went on a downhill slide from hell for a couple of months. Stopped playing for a couple of months to get my head back on straight, cashed in a WSOP satellite series in May, then everything with my relocation started and I've only played maybe 3 times since then! :: gasp:: So I am THRILLED to be in a state that has poker (and near where I live! yay!) and to be so close to Vegas and Los Angeles... I just can't wait to get back into it!

I really am going to try to make that trip first week in November; let's touch base offline about where you''all are staying, playing, etc. I won't be able to go for 4 days, but maybe 2.

I spent a little time at a tournament table with pro Mike Matusow. I was not the least bit impressed with how he behaved or with his play. He was drunk, knocked his full stack of chips across the table, and called someone a "f*cking idiot" (in a "joking way", of course).

Disgusting.

On a happier note, my wife and I took first and second in a tournament!! First time we managed that one!
