First, I wanted to wish everyone playing in the event the best of luck and good fortunes on anything else while you're down in Vegas! I hope you win tons of money!
I am sitting here in my office at work, bored, and I just want to hit the road and go to Las Vegas. Anxious? Yes! Nervous? No. I'll admit, I was nervous last year, playing in my first ever WSOP event. I can't even say I shook those nerves since I lasted less than an hour, played maybe 4 hands TOTAL before getting eliminated when KK ran into AK. For whatever reason, that compounded my week long trip into probably the worst run I EVER had. By the end of the trip, my confidence was shaken and pretty much expected to lose. (Yup, I sound like Bruce.) I'm not one to whine about bad beats but it got pretty ridiculous. However, the positive I took from it was that I made pretty deep runs in some of the tourneys I played and made the right decisions when it came down to it. Maybe it wasn't my time yet...
Fast forward to today and the main "theme" is redemption. Honestly, it can't be any worse than last year. I do my best when there is doubt so I've embedded into my brain that its impossible. What's impossible you may ask? I have no clue. I don't have any goals or expectations. It sounds cliche but take it one step at a time, can't win the tournament in the first hour or the first day. Bottom line, its just poker. Just like any other day at Bob's. I'm ready. Is the world ready for me?
Again, good luck to everybody in all your endeavors. See you at the Rhino Saturday night!
