Any FBG poker guy playing any WSOP events? (1 Viewer)

I know in years past some FBGs would be playing in various events. My dad just got back from playing a couple of smaller events and we are going back out July 5th for a few days. I'm planning to play in one of the $1K events and depending on how that goes also some of the smaller deep stack events they are running there. I am woefully out of practice so not willing to jump into anything bigger. Trying to convince my dad to go ahead and play in the main event as it is a bucket list item for him. We'd get there in time for him to register for one of the last Day 1 flights.

Just curious if anyone else was going to be out there this year, and if so, what you'd be playing.
 
not going but wishing you and your dad good luck
Appreciate it - reality is I am pretty much dead money at this point - I play once every 6-8 weeks if I'm lucky in one of two home games. Semi-decent poker, but not truly high level, and not tournament which has a few other adjustments to optimal play.

And being in California, I can't play for real money online to practice - best I really can do would be to fire up some play money tournies on Poker Stars just to try knock off some of the cobwebs.
 
No plans to head out....unless I win the ME freeroll from the WSOPNJ site they are having for pre-registering when they moved sites :cool:

Next time I see you I'll call you the Doyle Brunson of the game to make you feel better :shades:
Hey I took down about $130 Friday night. Probably spent about that much in food and booze beforehand though.

HORSE, RAZZ and PLO/PLO8/BIG O mix to come later in week.

No. Although sometimes I come back and play $3k horse at the same time.

Well, if you happen to be there between July 5-8 PM me and I'd be more than happy to buy you a beer, bev of choice, etc.
 
Who was that one young guy with the weird use name - no vowels or something? Jvw something or other. Well anyways I think he played.
 
Good friend at next table sitting next to Brandon Shack Harris. @krista4

Nice! We have a tiny piece of Brandon this year, but I haven't been paying attention. We did sweat another guy from Mr. krista's Tuesday poker game who came in second in the $1500 Badugi event. Such a bummer that he didn't take the bracelet, but still an $85k payday.

@acarey50 needs help finding an online money game, big money wednesday could be exactly what he needs!
Yeah, we play 3 or sometimes 4 $50 NL tournaments (w/ 2 optional rebuys) every Wednesday starting at 8:15 EST. Settle up w/ Venmo on Thursday. Usually get about 12ish guys over the course of the night. A few guys from the FFA have played. Some guys play every week, some just once in a while. PM me if you want in. It's a fun night.

@Zow @CGRdrJoe See you tonight?

@Zegras11 sending you a PM

I wish. On a family vacation today. Golf tournament next Wednesday.
 
wow, so just now finished day one of WSOP $1500 RAZZ. Which is 7-card stud lowball. 15 levels, each 40 minutes long.

Ten minutes into Level 14, Our table gets broken, and I get moved to another table with 4,000 chips. That's less than one bet. LOL.

I made it to the end of the night and bagged 111,000 chips. LOL. Some really crazy stuff on several all-ins. We are about 55 players away from being in the money.

Yes, finished 22nd. Had winner Siever all in twice in level six and he rivered me both times.

Welp today is the WSOP Main Event Freeroll on the NJ (now NJ/NV/MI) site so my one chance to get out there :cool:

I got close to snagging the free ticket one time (got to final two tables)

Brandon heads up in $1500 RAZZ right now. Appreciate some sweat.

Brandon just knocked out Phil Ivey in the $10,000 HORSE and is in the chip lead with eight people left. As always, sweat appreciated! He's absolutely tearing up the events this year, and the other Tuesday poker guys are doing really well (another one knocked out Ivey in a different event, even). I think it might be the spirit of Steve Albini. Brandon also made the final table in the event where Steve won his second bracelet.

Bummer. I wanted to watch Ivey.

Just an update as I had to cancel my trip - my dad had minor complications from a medical procedure (he had a procedure done on one of his eyes) and didn't want to take any chances of being away in Vegas in case it turned out to be something that didn't clear up. Fortunately it appears to be all clear now, but no WSOP for me this year.

Planning for next year or maybe looking at some of the tournament events later this year.
 
:cry: out in 281st place

But fun to try as always. Maybe I can satty into an online event at some point :cool:

I've played a lot of poker in my earlier days. I'm talking live, no limit but fairly local. Wonder if I have any skills or moxie left. What would you recommend online for me to try out?
Thanx, appreciate it.

It depends on your state if you are trying to play for real money. I think there's free money sites (also what they call sweepstakes sites....which is basically the same as real money) in almost every state. I'm in Florida so I don't have WSOP or any of the "real" money ones so I play on Global Poker. When you win, you can exchange what they call sweeps coins in for real gift cards or money transferred to your bank.

Agree with the prior post - are you in a state that offers real money (NV NJ PA MI and I think DE)? Let me know which of these and I can see which sites are on offer there (I know directly from the NJ offerings).

If not I would check for advice from the free-site state guys on here as they would have better info.

WSOP is the one place where I have a different pseudonym :ninja:

TriviaGuy67 on WSOP?

One would think. Actually GGAllIn on that particular site. Was lucky enough to keep it when they switched sites last month and had everyone reregister.
