Vegas July 2014 - Main Event satellite |
Planning |

UPDATE: Since my plan to win a pile of money in event 51 didn't pan out, I am going to try to satellite into the main event on Saturday the 5th.
|
Our plan for June that was "set in stone" got thrown into total chaos. Joann needs to be home for three weeks in the month including that week. I made other plans earlier in the month that can't change. There are certain days I have to be at work in June. And there's the whole "Pete's losing his job and we're moving to Colorado" thing. But we figured it out, and here's the plan:
|
I'm going out by myself for part of our planned June trip to get in my WSOP tournament. I'm staying at the Luxor, which is the cheapest MGM owned hotel I could get into (gotta earn those status points!).
|
Then we're going back the first full week of July to get in the real vacation, staying at Aria. As it turns out, we're actually saving about $500 on Aria going this week rather than when we had originally planned, and my bill for Luxor plus gas is going to be probably a few bucks less than that $500...so we're actually breaking even and I'm getting four extra days in Vegas...wow!
|
And what do you know...that's when the Main Event happens to be going on. Imagine that.
|
Because I have a birthday this year that has a "0" associated with it, Joann has been suggesting to me that I should consider the Main Event a a big ol' birthday present to myself. And that's incredibly tempting.
|
But the bankroll manager in me realizes that if I was actually going to drop that kind of money I would be much better off spending a week and playing in 3-5 WSOP tournaments instead of putting all those eggs into one basket, however awesome a basket it would be. And that "3-5" can't happen now because I'm not going to be there for a whole week any more when I go out for the one I am playing in.
|
But...having said all that, I will be out there. If I get deep enough in event 51 to cover my buyin, it would start to sound a lot more possible. And if we somehow sell both of our houses between now and then we'll have a big burden off our backs...so you never know.
|
I've also had a few friends talk about wanting to stake someone. If people come out of the woodwork offering to buy pieces of me, the closer I get to the buyin the more likely it would be that I'll play.
|
So here's the deal I'll offer. 1% shares for $200, with a minimum guarantee of your money back if I cash but it's an amount smaller than $20,000. With a $10 million guarantee if I were to get first place you'll make $50,000 for every $200 and I'll be doing all the work.
