The World Series of Poker is like a 6 week long gambling convention. Every year over 100,000 poker players, gamblers, hustlers, and degens flock to Vegas to take part in the scene. I'm one of them.
I moved to Vegas in late 2004 and have been grinding out a living from poker for over 8 years. I'll be in town for the duration of the series, playing 2/5NL and, if I'm lucky, higher. Every year the soft World Series games present the best chance to pump up my bankroll, but I don't always take advantage of the opportunity and play enough hours to profit as much as I should. I know that as long as I put in the time the money will take care of itself, so I'm setting a goal to play 45 hours a week until the end of the series, and I've created this journal to help motivate myself. My financial goals are to make enough to:
- Pay all my normal expenses
- Move up to 5/10
- Finally buy myself health insurance
- Take a vacation when the series is over
The series doesn't officially start until the 31st, but with the long weekend everything started getting crazy on Friday afternoon and won't let up the Main Event has played down to 9.
I'm off to the Strip...
