I’ve decided I’m going to absolutely play in the July 1st $2,000 NL Event. It starts at noon on Saturday and I should be on the final table on Monday. I’m looking at my schedule to see if I can get out early and play the limit event on Thursday or not. The limit event could overlap with the NL event, if I make the final table, but that is a good kind of problem to have. If you haven’t seen it, the full WSOP schedule is on-line.
I’m unsure what I else I will do. I could plan to play in one or two other small events or devote that money to attempting to qualify for the Main Event on-line. I had a discussion with Matthew Hilger about it and he suggests that I focus on playing more small buy-in events to build up my experience, but I feel like the ME is so much more of a phenomenon that I’d be a lot more interested in that. I’d certainly rather play in the ME once than play in five 2k events. I just don’t have the enthusiasm to play a million long-shot low buy-in events to try to qualify. I might just buy directly into a few of the higher dollar Stars qualifiers.
