Who is going to the World Series of Poker next week in New Orleans??

[PO69]

Who is going next week to New Orleans?? I know that at least 5 guys from this site must be going since you guys seem to play poker so much! I will be there on Wednesday night. I have comped room for the 2 weeks. I also have an extra free room at the Wyndam Canal Hotel for anyone who needs it. I have that room for Friday and Saturday night. Let me know if you are interested.


I will be playing in the Thursday and Friday and Saturday event and then playing in the $10,000 finals as well.


Let me know who is going so we can get together and have a small RX party at HOOTERS!! Hooters is just about 200 yards away for those who are not familiar with the city. I will be at the Doubletree hotel for the first night and at the Hilton for all other nights, but just ask for me at the poker room and they will call for me if you are going.



Come on guys make the trip, ESPN will be there to televise the finals. New Orleans is a great city and 1st prize in the $1000 entry fee tournaments should be around $145000 or so

I know that PROPOKERPLAYER will be there from this site with me! If you play holdem poker professionally, you really need to make the trip. Buffets will be free all week with the VIP pass. I can help arrange that for you possibly, but that might cost a few "propinas" if you know what I mean

Bye the way SHRINK< if you send me an RX polo shirt then I will wear it in the tournament. I already have my seat in the $10,000 in 2 weeks, but I will also be playing in the earlier events as wellI do have a real cool "DOGS PLAYING POKER" hawaiian shirt that I have never worn though. I will ahve to wear that shirt AT LEAST 3 days it is such a classic!!!

I was looking at the June 3rd 1500 buy-in as a possibility.

[PO69]

I will be in Vegas for the World Series early to play in the Omaha hi/low and 7 card stud hi/low games. The entry is $1500 each I think.


I alreayd have a seat in the main event from Harrahs lake Charles, but most likely will sell the seat to someone else as a best friend has his wedding during the event

 

[ProPokerPlayer]

i'll be there if everything goes right. i can be there in like 35 mins though if my bikes up and running by then and being sober now (3 weeks!) theres no reason really for me to stay all night...well except for the swingers clubs...lol but i digress....Shrink could u make that 2 shirts????? its 50-50 you could see it on ESPN or with a lil luck...Cops!!

 

[Dante]

good luck all!!! somebody from here win it!!

 

[lakerfan]

As people attend I would be interested in hearing what you think about the side action if you have time to post. Specifically what type of pot limit and no limit games are being spread.

 

[PO69]

Well I can already tell you that they ALWAYS have a $500 NL game for their everyday customers. It is max $500 buyin with a minimum $200.



At Lake Charles in the $100-300 buyin nolimit, I have been up to $4000 a few times before cashing out

 

[PO69]

But it will hard to see what types of no limit games will be going on since there are other casinos from which to play in New Orleans.



New Orleans has a REAL nice OMAHA game every Friday and Saturday night. Buy in is $5000 and it is pot limit! I love omaha and usually play in those type of ring games

 

[PO69]

Shrink, how about those shirts for some added advertisemnt??

 

[ProPokerPlayer]

Ive been trying to find this out but so far no luck on the website..Are the tournys on the 18, 19,20th,etc satelites to the 10,000 wsop main event the next week??? im so spread out right now if i cant get ashot with the 200 or 300 buy-ins i might as well put my tail between my legs and stay in my kennel..unbelieveable that a peon like me could be just this morning sending money to Georgia, pennsylvania and omaha all at the same time ....all 3 places ive never even been to.. i am so tapped out !

Hey if anybody wants to trade an entry fee for a split of any prize money and i'll wear your shirt if i get on t.v lets talk! so far all i got is big louie from the chinese takeout down the street....but he wants half any winnings and all i get in return is some sesame chicken.....any other offers??? i dont want to be an uglier version of jesus ferguson (hard to believe i know but quite factual) wearing a Hot Wok t-shirt on e.s.p.n.....:monsters-

playersonly, is this a private game you are referring too? The public PLO games I have played in in NOLA (Harrah's specifically) and Mississippi can be some of the toughest around. Too many regulars who have played the game their whole lives. I mean their can be good games at times, but as for every week, not in my experience.

 

[PO69]

Well I have played these games for a long time as well LAKERFAN. But yes you are right, there are some EXCELLENT players that 95% of players on the net would not want to touch. They would lose their ass in OMAHA.


I will guarantee you one thing, people who learn to play OMAHA NEVER go back to holdem. They loce OMAHA too much.


The problem is that OMAHA requires one to be real smart to be able to play accurately. This eliminates around 90% of betters from OMAHA. No reason to even start playing the game if you head has EVER been in your ass!!!



SO Shrink, no shirts for us in New ORleans I guess then right?

lakerfan, I have a friend or two that play regularly there, and as you say, though most are unknowns and not pro, many of the regulars there have nice talent and skills..plus fairly deep pockets.
