Default I\'m playing the $1500 buy in limit HE on 6/5.

The last thing anyone would accuse me of was being a tournament player. But, I'll be in Vegas, I'm gonna take a shot.

When I win it, I'm gonna buy a black Dodge Viper and pay off my school loans.

If you see a tall, good looking gentleman in the tournament with a neat haircut and a beautiful woman by his side, that's my opponent, don't root for him . . . .

If you see a short, stocky fellow with a Iron City Beer hat who doesn't look like he has two sticks to rub together, that'll be me! Pull me in, y'all . . .

Default Re: Should I play the $2500 Limit Hold Em Event At WSOP?

I am debating the same thing. I'm also a non-tournament guy. The biggest live tournament I've ever played was a $30 buy-in at Mohegan Sun. I know Schneids, Bicyclekick, and Nate tha' Great are planning on playing in this.

The only reason I would do it is for the experience of playing in a WSOP event. I don't even know if I care about the WSOP.

By the way, this one won't be televised, so you won't become famous if you make the final table.

I've played some tournaments online, but only for fun really. The only other event I played was a night one at Orleans Open a couple years ago ($125 buyin w/ one $100 rebuy).

Trip Report: I lost.

I think I'm going to play the $2000 Limit and NL tourneys on the the 11th and 12th. I like the $2500 limit tourney, but I don't want to play in the NLHE shootout because I blow at headsup NLHE.

If you think it will be fun you should play. You are good enough for it to be +EV, although you probably won't win any money, if that makes sense.

If you are a winning oyer at middle limits, you won't be that EV-. Play if you can afford it and you want the experience of playing in a WSOP event. From a financial point of view, you will probably be better off playing in the side games. There are plenty of limit holdem tournaments on Party. I would try playing in those first. You could also try the limit tournament in WCOOP on Stars. I think it is $500 or $1000.

You gonna be there too? I'm very strongly considering it. Let's see how the Borg 40 game treats me this weekend.

screw that... let's have an all 2+2 final table.

i will very likely play, unless the partying gets out of hand the previous night... which might actually mean that i'm unlikely to play, but we'll see.
