Tomorrow is the big day.  I’m headed for Vegas!  I’m very excited about it, as this is quite possibly a once in a lifetime chance for me.  Okay, that might be exaggerated, but how I do in this will definitely affect my chances of doing similar things in the future.

I’m playing in World Series of Poker Event #27, it is a No Limit Hold ‘Em event with a $1500 buy-in.  It should have roughly 2500 to 3000 entrants.  That is admittedly bigger than the biggest field I have ever beat.  I won a tourney with 1800 entrants once.  I finished 23rd in a tourney with 1968 entrants last Saturday.  But I can definitely do this.

What I’m extremely thrilled about is that Marilyn is willing to let me try.  $1500 is a big deal to her.  It’s a big deal to everyone, but we are talking about a woman who agonizes over $5 decisions at times.  I’m saying it is a BIG deal.  She is also the most risk averse person I have ever met. So the fact she is letting me gamble a huge amount of money is a vote of confidence (or at least acceptance) in my poker skills.  It means a lot to me.

So Happy Vegas Eve everyone.  Wish me well.
