| Today was kind of a ho-hum day, which I think is what I needed going into tomorrow.
|
| Went to Bellagio for brunch. What can I say that I haven't said already? Click here for what I've said already. Delicious as always.
|
| We did a little shopping and got stuff for the kids and some See's candy for me. Then we came back to the room and alternated trying to take naps (neither successful), I hit the craps tables and blew everything I'd won at craps and then some. Ugh.
|
| Next we headed back to Bellagio for the garden and the fountains, and then over to Rio to gawk at the pros. Got to see Ivey, Bloch and Devilfish in a $2500 PL Omaha tournament. Dan Heimiller (sp?) also was in that one for people who watch entirely too much poker on TV. Then back to Paris for a very late dinner (sat down at like 10:30) and that was pretty much our day.
|
| So tomorrow is the big day, and hopefully I'll have a lot to talk about. I have to admit, I've already got butterflies for this one. They got 2600 people for yesterday's $1500 buyin so I'm thinking at least 2000 people will cough up the money for this one. I can't fathom playing against 2000 people, its very daunting to think about.
|
| Plus ... in the tournaments I've played in the past I was able to delude myself that I'd have some kind of advantage over all of the Hold'Em players that were fish out of water in 8/b tournaments and HORSE tournaments. No such illusions this time. This is going to be all Hold'em players. And it's probably going to be 2000 of them...
|
| And some serious money. Last year's winner took home half a mil.
|
| And lastly, one thing that's very different about this one is that I can be gone in one hand. No limits to stop an all ins on hand number one.
|
| So wish me luck. If I can survive to day two I will consider it an accomplishment, but obviously my eye will be firmly on the prize. |
