Vegas June 2019 (WSOP)

Planning

Last Updated: 2019-06-04 21:44:34

Things have finally firmed up so this should be a "final" version of the "Planning" entry.

Joann has her work schedule for the week we leave and she ended up getting the day off on the 6th so we're going out after work on the 5th. For the return, since Joann's on/off weekends have shifted that final weekend is an "off" now so we're returning home on Sunday the 23rd. That'll be it tho, Joann should be scheduled to work on the 24th so I'll have to cancel that last Sunday night off the reservation. Dave is going out the same day we are, Patrick and Dyan are heading out on that first Sunday and I think they all are returning home on or around the 15th.

Below is a day-by-day of how things could go, but it's very dependant on how things are going. The first week or so is pretty well set. But as the trip is going on, if things go like summer 2017 there could be more bracelet events and if things go like summer 2018, well, I will probably have to pull back some and stick to the WSOP daily deepstacks or the nighly Aria 7pm as we get deeper into the trip.

That said, absolutely playing in two bracelet events in the first week. 8-Game Mix the first Sunday and PLO with Patrick later in the week. Dave is planning to play in The Millionaire Maker Saturday and if that doesn't go well for him the NLH double-stack that first weekend (see links below). He was originally planning to fire two bullets at the double stack, but they changed the schedule and made that only a single starting day instead of Day 1A Saturday and 1B Sunday.

No other real option

Below are links to what Dave is playing in plus some other things I could play in if things were going exceptionally well. But Monster Stack is not really an option since we almost certainly have to drive home on the 23rd, which would be "day 2"
