I'm Going To Vegas (again)
« on: February 18, 2013, 19:56:25 PM »
Hello fellow APATers hope you"re all fine and dandy. I haven"t been online much since the forum event, been over to Ireland a fair bit. been working and was also busy being 50 a couple of weeks ago with the celebrations just about coming to an end now.

Anyway, now that I am 50 I am officially classed as a senior citizen in poker terms as I can now play the seniors events, so now all roads lead to the Rio on 14 June when my plan is to play the WSOP seniors event and last at least two levels before hitting the bars. I"ve just booked my flights, flying out on the 13th for two weeks. I"m spending the first few nights at the Rio for convenience but will head to the strip after that.

The schedule is out http://www.wsop.com/tournaments/ and for lower buy ins the Nugget have released their schedule too http://goldennugget.com/lasvegas/pdf/gps.pdf so this is gonna be a great time to get out there. I know there are plans for a trip in November, but is anyone else planning a trip in June? If so, see you there there  ;D ;D

PS - made me laugh that the seniors is the only tourny starting at 10am! Makes me even more -ev, I don"t really do 10am in Vegas, I can only assume they want to finish a bit earlier to avoid us all falling asleep  ;D ;D ;D

Roll on June......

I believe that is actually true. I know someone who likes to play this event because it stops early (midnight, I think) and he can get to bed early.

Good luck.

Excellent news!!! Not sure if I"m going to the Worlds mainly due to bad organisation and  missing the boat! Will touch base beforehand for sure.

For those who have expressed an interest, I"ll put a staking thread up nearer the time as I"ll put a small schedule together to give us more than one bullet.

This trip will be epic there"s still time to join the fun.....
