    Been wanting to go play in the WSOP ever since I first learned the game at the age of 16. Now I am 22 and finally able to go. Flying out to Vegas in a few hours and am extremely excited. Definately not rolled for it at all, but this is a dream of mine come true so I am soooo doing it. Booked the Venetian for a week, and will just be playing in the first $1k event, but I will finally be able to say I played in the WSOP! Good Luck to me and Good Luck to everyone at the tables, should be an outstanding time!

    I did the same thing last year. Ended up bubbling a $1500 event, but either way its a sick time.
    Good luck shipping the event!

    Looking at your cashes, you are definitely ready to lay down $1k and ship the bracelet. In all seriousness, good luck, hope you run like a Kenyan.

    GL to you man. Played my first event last year and got to KO Erik Seidel, run a huge bluff on Roland De Wolfe, and get completely outplayed by JC Tran in a huge pot. Was fun. :-)

    Just play your game and you'll be fine. Don't be nervous. Take some headphones with you to stay in your zone.

    GL I remember my 1st it was very exciting, if not fullfilling, I also wasn't rolled for it but didn't that affect my play 1 bit. I think this year could be my year to go deep a few times, I finally got off the snide in Vegas last year (was 0/19 in vegas tournies with 3 12 hr bubbles) and have been consistent all this year with my 1st live win in a wsop circuit event prelim tournament (small brag). Hope all P5ers have a great summer in Vegas.

    Well, back in Colorado. Ended up lasting about 3hrs 45mins. No real stories to tell, won a small pot off of MoneyMaker. Other than that, I feel I played pretty good, just wasn't happening. Played a bunch of smaller tourneys and managed only to take down the $60 at the Stratosphere. All in All I had a great time in Vegas as always. Can't wait 'till next time.
