Here is the bust out hand. I ran into Varkonyi on the way out and he didn’t think I played it too badly. What do you think?
Hero has 17K in chips. I haven’t played a hand in a while and should have a somewhat tight image.

I got my starting day, Sunday day 1c. The whole area down by the tables is a circus. Saw a couple of names yesterday; Phil Gordon, T.J.

It is the night before the flight and I am starting to get a bit giddy. Still no idea what day I will be playing on. Harrah’s was going to email everyone but apparently they got a bit busy so now we have to wait until we check in to get our starting [...]

So, this will be my last blog entry. I have accomplished all I care to in on-line poker and am looking forward to trying [...]
