I\’ve got a plan in place — a test really — and am ready to embark. I\’ve got a specified wad of cash, two packs of cigarettes and some breath mints in my pockets, a change of shirt in the bag, and am fixin\’ to hit the tables. We\’re going to see how much I can return home with by the time most of you are reading this Monday morning.
First stop: a $225 \”deep stacks\” tourney somewhere in \”Mexico.\” 7,500 starting chips and 30 minute levels. Should be fun.
If I bust out early I will probably play some cash in the nearest 1/2 game. If I last long enough that I need a little break before action resumes, I am headed to Oklahoma — to WinStar, to try a little 2/5 no-limit hold\’em. Not sure what the weekend tournament scene is like there, but that\’s part of what I\’m looking to go find out.
Will try to update as I go along, but as always, that is often internet-dependent … so I make no promises there.
I\’ve thought this all through clearly, thoroughly, and rationally. Worst case scenario I am home early this evening and kicking myself while doing real-world work to recoup my losses. Best case scenario I\’ll come home significantly more phizzat having finished off the extra-pokery weekend with a late-Sunday night amateur victory at the Lodge … where I hear the (tournament) action is still good. It will be a test of discipline, focus, and fortitude. Wish me luck!
