Tenative Vegas schedule
May 13th, 2008 · Posted in poker ·I was looking at some of the poker events and trying to decide how to arrange my poker playing schedule for the first week of the WSOP. Here is my initial game plan:
Sat, 5/30> Play sit-n-gos and sats, claim Stars merchandise for Event 2, rail Matthew, Paul and Chris
Sun 6/1> Day 1b of WSOP Event 2 (1.5K NLHE)
Mon 6/2> Day 2 of WSOP Event 2 or Caesar’s $540 NLHE 1 day event
Tue 6/3> SNGs, sats
Wed 6/4> Day 1 of WSOP Event 7 (2K NLHE)
Thu 6/5> Day 2 of WSOP Event 7 or Limit cash games
Fri 6/6> Day 1 of WSOP Event 12 (1.5K Limit)
Sat 6/7> Day 2 of WSOP Event 12 or fly home.
I’m not going to offer stakes on ITH this year, since I’m playing well within my roll, but if you are masochistic enough to read my blog and you want a piece, send me an email or PM me on ITH. I’ve taken a little money from two people, so I guess I can’t say that I’m not doing it, but I’m not going to advertise.

Trying to figure out how masochistic I am.

I’m in a catch-22, if I tell you that you are lighting your money on fire and then I win, you will think I jammed you. If I don’t scare you off and I win, you will think I lit your money on fire.
I have cashed in 2 out of 10 live tourneys with buy-ins of $500 or more and 1 out of 7 WSOP events. If it was random chance, I should cash in about 1 out of 10. Therefore, I should go 0 for 3 on this trip.
One of my backers is the janitor in my building. He is fascinated by poker and is convinced I am a genius. I really don’t think he can afford to lose $100, so I’m going to have to lie and tell him I broke even or something if I lose. Obviously, backers are -EV for me. I think at work they like to do it in the same way people would give you $20 and tell you to bet it on 27 on the roulette wheel or something.
