    already tentatively planning on one of the first weekends of the football season if anyone is interested? That might be the last time I go during the summer lol...I'm so happy to be back in San Diego and not have to deal with those brutal summers out there anymore!!

    speaking of which, I think the 2017 Phil Steele College Football Previews are available at Barnes and Noble, Walmart and a few other places.

    I agree on the summer thing. Fall trips during football season would be great. That or maybe during March Madness.

    Between 10th and 27th October the Vegas Golden Knights play 7 home games in Vegas.

    That would be week 5 or 6 for NFL.

    I could be convinced to do it again then if it meant seeing an NHL game too.

    In Costa Rica 10/26-11/2 so before would be difficult. 1st week of march madness was a blast so I'd Deff be down for that again.

    sure, ill take it reigle

    might get a hard copy anyhow to read every morning on the shitter

    one thing I like to look for early season in college football are returning starters and especially the QB..young QBS going on the road in a hostile environment for the first time are usually a good fade

    teams changing schemes(on either side of the ball) can also take some time to start clicking

    Just an early heads up about a 2018 Poker Forum Mixer. Will post a thread in a couple of months.


    Wed 27th June is the WSOP Teams Event, $1000 total for up to 4 team members. (no rules about who plays when or for how long)

    Fri 30th 3pm is WSOP Online event. $1000 again but figured we could easily treat that as a team event if we wanted as well. Maybe make it into a party somewhere.

    Fri 30th evening is The Giant event, which is $365 and the cheapest bracelet event during WSOP.


    I know not everyone wants to play poker tournies but figured the week covering those dates would mean even those that don't want to grind out an entire tourney can be part of it too without a big time commitment at the tables.

    Anyway, I'd be thinking of arriving 25th or 26th June and staying about a week again. Be great if we get the same crowd again. Was one of the best weeks of 2017 for me

    If I go out to play in an event.....it would be Event 48 (the monster stack). That would be more of my style of play. I’d play Day 2 which I believe is Jun 24th. It will all depend on how I do in in Vegas in Feb and how I feel about my game.

    If I’m not in the mood for a big tournament, I may still come out just to play cash if everyone is going to be there at another time. So in other words, I have a high interest in making it out there. Just need to wait a little and see things develop.


    Oh wait....last year I missed 4 days of SBR poker doing this. As Waves would say, I need to get my priorities straight. I better stay home so I can do better on the poker leaderboard.

    Beerdog.....you already have one wife. You don’t need another.

    As for Europe, I’ll take you on a gondola ride at the Venetian and I’ll also take you up on the Eiffel Tower at Paris. I got all bases covered for you.

    Correct, missing SBR poker will cost you. Especially when you have an annual leaderboard bet with Spider.

    But go ahead, lose $ in Vegas instead.

    Funny thing is, I missed plenty of days last year: Bash (4 days), Cruise for wive’s b-day (4 days), Vegas poker trip (4 days), my birthday weekend (2 days) and at least 10-15 because of work commitments.....

    and yet, I still finished in front of you.

    Bump....just got back from Vegas and thanks to some of Philly’s NCAA basketball plays and his NFL pick, I came back with more money than I left with. Even was able to keep the wife’s losses at about $200 on the table games.

    So in other words, I’m game on trying to get out there again later this year. Either in the Summer or Sep/Oct
    Timeframe. Opti....what’s your thoughts on coming back to the States? If no interest, we may all need to come to Australia soon.

    An Aussie bash would be great!

    Make it happen Shari!!


    I am off to China next month for a week and am already thinking US again in June might be a bit much for me. I really really want to be there for some WSOP excitement but kind of thinking it might be smarter to try to do it in August so I can go to the IFBC thing in CR and then maybe onto Vegas for week one of football season? Or is it crazy busy that week?

    Anyway, I think I am with you about the Sep/Oct timeframe. Been in Feb and Jun, might be different heat in Sep

    vegas in august? i guess you like punishment huh? you just want to make sure you get those 115 degree days in.

    september is not too bad, but most days early in the month of over 100 also. october is usually almost perfect. but then again, we are usually inside, so does it really matter?

    enjoy your china trip and good luck if you will be gambling.

    I tried to negotiate a stopover in Macau but the girl I am going with can't control herself in casinos and doesn't want to

    I don't mind the Vegas heat, but yeah, let's go with a time the same group will be more likely to like.
