Getting Started: Three Weeks Out

Hey, everyone! This is BamaT8er. After attempting to keep everyone who was interested updated via text message last year, I've decided to use more of a blog format this year to keep from cluttering up everyone's phones. I'm still figuring out how blogger works, so bear with me. I'm not (and don't intend to become) a professional blogger.

This will be my second extended trip to the WSOP. This year, instead of going to Las Vegas on my own for a week or so, I'll be taking my whole family with me and staying for the whole month of June. If I can satellite my way in, I'll be heading back to Vegas for the Main Event in July after a short detour to visit some family. We're leaving in three weeks, but I won't actually arrive in Las Vegas until May 31.

Many folks have asked me what events I'll be playing. Mostly, I'll be focusing on smaller buy in events and some mixed games. Here's what I'm looking at for now. Obviously, I won't play them all. If I know you and you have any interest in buying some of my action, let me know which event and how much.
