Main Event

The Main Event starts today and if you aren't really familar with poker this definatly is the "World Series", "Super Bowl", "NBA Finals" of poker. Everyone in my house has a seat in it except for me :( I tried to qualify for it on-line but wasn't successful, I should have probably tried to qualify earlier in the year. Next year I'll make sure I get it done early. I did have a glimmer of hope yesterday when a friend of mine from Michigan (who won a braclet in the $2,000 NL event a week ago) came up to me and said he had heard I didn't have my seat and was thinking about putting me in. But, I didn't hear back from him last night so I assume that it isn't gonna happen.

I'll update on how all my friends are doing in it as it progresses. I have made a TON of new friends since I've been out here so inevitably at least one of them will go deep into the tourney. It'l be fun to cheer them all on and a have a small percentage of a couple of them, so maybe I'll make a little money from it if they go deep.
