| Yes I'm travelling to play poker AGAIN and yes Joann is letting me go AGAIN without her. As always, this "day zero" post may get updated between now and departure
|
| Right now we are four although the number is in flux. Leon, Leon's friend Paul, Mr Reliable and myself all have plane tix. Tommy also has a plane ticket but something came up at work and he can't leave. We depart Monday the 13th first thing in the morning, some are returning the following evening and the rest are returning early Wednesday.

| The reason for the trip is the WSOP Circuit Event going on at Caesar's Palace. We are all planning to play in Event 3, the $340 buyin tournament on Monday April 13th. Last year they did not have any $340 buy-in events, but for $550 on a weekday they typically got about 400 players and had top prizes in the $40-70K range. Looking at all the tournaments they ran at the event last year, the lower the buyin the more people they got for weekday tournaments. So this could be a big tournament with a very big prize pool...

| Like my Council Bluffs trip, this will be short and hopefully sweet. Not sure when I'll be able to post to the BLOG but I will when I can...

| [Added at the airport] Well Rich showed up at my house at 4am to ride with me to the airport so I guess he's going. Really looking forward to this now, I've cashed 3 of the last 4 times in Cripple Creek in the Wednesday rebuy tournament and I feel like I'm playing very well right now. |
