This will not only be my first wsop event, it will be the first live tournament I have ever played. I have not played the game for real money since 2011 on pokerstars, but before that time, I was an absolute monster in the game terrorizing players left and right and being the big bad bully at the table. My extremely aggressive yet unpredictable playing style caused hell for everyone that challenged me. The money was great as the game came naturally to me.

After the shutdown, I've only played pokerstars free razz MTT's and sit and go's and have been absolutely crushing them. I have been calling out the hot shots in the game and setting up private heads up tables where it's 1 vs 1 and have been absolutely humbling them. I've been keeping up with the game since the shut down.

Now I know play money games are not real money by any stretch of the imagination, but I have had the opportunity (and still do) to play players that come from the real money razz nose bleed tables on pokerstars to challenge me in heads up matches best 2 out of 3, starting chips 10k play money and have been making them look foolish. I am an absolute FREAK in this game.


Even though this will be my very first live game and a high dollar buy in tournament at that, I'm not afraid one bit to clash with the best players this game has to offer. I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that I wont wont make the final table. I'm not worried about that at all. My main concern is capturing my first wsop bracelet on my very first attempt. Last year there were 97 players in the tournament. Unfortunately a non american took 1st place. I plan to change that this year. For personal reasons, I will not be playing in the $1,500 razz tournament that takes place on the 24th of the same month. This is the only WSOP event I will be playing. The 10k razz tournament hasn't been around long. it was introduced not too long ago.

Registration has currently not opened. Ticket will be posted when it does. If I can't take 1st place in a field of 97 players, it's a loss. Again I'm not worried about getting to the final table, because I'll get there. But if I can't take it down from there, it's a loss as far as I'm concerned. 2nd place wont do.
