anyone want to play poker?
I'm leaving for Vegas Friday morning for the WPBT Winter Classic insanity-fest and poker tournament plus jokes, and I haven't had time to play much poker this week to warm myself up for the trip.
So I was about to go play some sit-n-go tourneys at PokerStars, and I realized that I can make private tourneys of my own.
So I made a private tourney at starts at 5:30 Pacific time (that will be 2030 according to the lobby clock). If enough people show up, we'll play it like a simple sit-n-go, otherwise, I'll just find some regular SNGs to play.
I always have a good time playing at PokerStars, but I'd much rather play with people I "know," you know?
So if you have time and interest, go to the PokerStars lobby and look for WWdN: Wil's Folly under tourneys -> private. The password is monkey, and the buy-in is $10 +1. It's tournament number 16141481.
Once more, the details:
What: WWdN: Wil's Folly
When: 2030 EST (1730 PST) today.
Password: monkey
Tourney number: 1614181
doh. Its like 37 mins past midnight here (uk gmt) and im just about to sleep. I think EST is 5 hours behind GMT? so that would be 1.30, which is a bit late seen as I have work in the morning.
I wouldn't have been much good anyway, other than giving you all my money! ;)

Well, that was insanely fun. 17 in the first game, and we ended up playing a second game with 20 after that.
I got SUPER lucky to win a huge pot with the HAMMER when I flopped two pair, and lucked into a straight with QT on a steal. Ended up going out third when my presto ran into AQ and AJ, and Sam paired his jack.
Awesome time, and I'm so happy so many people played. It's great fun, like a giant homegame.

As always, it was a blast! Can't wait for the real thing later this week!

Wil, this was great fun! I'm just happy I found out before it was too late in Ohio. I look forward to doing this again. Much luck in Vegas!

Sadly I was the suited AQ that got knocked out with/by Sam and Wheaton in the 2nd game. Oh well, tons of fun. Looking foward to more tourneys.
