Hi, I've created this blog to journalize my experience playing my first live poker event taking place June 27 - 29, 2006. It's Event #2 of the 2006 World Series of Poker at the Rio in Las Vegas. I'm really excited for it and hope I have some good news to post up here once I get to Vegas.

In other personal poker news, I've been invited to go to Montreal next week for the F1 race by PartyPoker. They are flying me and a guest down, putting us up at a hotel, we are invited Thursday night to a VIP party that they claim will have celebrities and some F1 drivers then special seats for the race....should be pretty cool. Only problem is I am going to miss an event Nancy is throwing at her cottage for her firm on the Friday...thanks to Nancy for letting me miss it and to Pearse for covering my duties there that day!

Also, after not playing PartyPoker for a month they deposited some freeroll money into my account and I played a $164 buying multi-table no-limit tourney on Sunday night with 400 people and cashed in 2nd for $8615...SWEET!!!!

Will be in touch.
