Oh, my mom already went over the "I'm still worried about you and your future, but I love you and I'll support you anyway" talk. But she's still being a little annoying.

Ah. Then yeah, introducing her to the nice, normal, friendly people who actually play poker might help.

Well, I'm pretty sure FTing 2 SCOOPs (and shipping the Badugi low - yes, I am the king/queen of random poker games that no one plays) saved me from having to skip Vegas this year.

Playing lots of $200-$600 mixed game and NLHE events (I think I will play every variant of poker offered in MTT format!), and a bunch of $1000-$2500 WSOPs, including:

5/29/12 Tuesday WSOP 4 5:00 PM $1,500 Stud8
5/31/12 Thursday WSOP 7 5:00 PM $1,500 Stud
6/1/12 Friday WSOP 8 12:00 PM $1,500 FLO8
6/5/12 Tuesday WSOP 13 5:00 PM $1,500 FLHE
6/10/12 Sunday WSOP 22 5:00 PM $2,500 FL 2-7 Triple Draw
6/13/12 Wednesday WSOP 27 12:00 PM $1,500 HORSE
6/21/12 Thursday WSOP 40 5:00 PM $2,500 FLHE 6max
6/26/12 Tuesday WSOP 47 12:00 PM $1,500 PLO8
6/29/12 Friday WSOP 51 12:00 PM $1,000 Ladies NLHE


I am also hoping to play the $10k HORSE, the ME, and the $3k PLO8, but to sell them I probably have to ship a big score first lol.

I have already met a bunch of the women from this forum, and I am looking forward to meeting more! I'm on twitter (@drkamikaze) if anyone wants to track me down and say hi at the tables!

Oh, and shameless plug since the forums were down when these came out:

I've added you, DrK.

I'm @SGTRJ, and now that I'll be in Vegas for at least a few days longer than expected, I'm hoping to meet as many TWSSers, and 2p2ers, as possible.

Awesome! Glad you'll be around for more than a few hours!

Protential and I are also hoping to throw a Big Gay Party at some point. Of course TWSS will be invited.

Here's hoping!

[hotjenny314]

My second Wsop event of 2012's tomorrow, gl all!

[redhat_jane]

I'll be playing tomorrow's daily deepstack! should be a BIG one. can't wait!

[icantfoldsets]

Looks like I won't be there until June 25. I got stuck watching my parents' dog in Arizona before that. They're still not valuing my poker as a business, so they make me do silly things like that during inconvenient times. I'm almost tempted to take the dog with me so I can come a week or so earlier

Playing the VDS event on the 26th, either cash or event 49 on the 27th, spa day on the 28th, WSOP Ladies on the 29th, and event 54 and/or 56. After that, TBD. Probably going to try some satellites to the ME.

[SGT RJ]

So here's an interesting story (well, to me, anyway).

I went to bed with 49% of my package sold. Got woken up by the cat at 4:30 am (ldo), went to the bathroom while I was up, and checked 2p2 on my iPad since I'm apparently a 2p2 addict or something.

Discovered that in the less than 5 hour gap between bed and cat, Adam Schwartz sold the rest of my package (21%) and I'm now sold out.

I'm pretty sure I'd be giddy if I wasn't still mostly asleep (but obviously awake enough I had to check Skype to make sure I wasn't hallucinating).

[icantfoldsets]

It's great to wake up to something like that, congrats

I can assure you that you're not hallucinating. You have a third party confirming reading about your story

I'm on here at 4-5 am because I'm jet lagged after being in Asia for the past few weeks. Or I guess I can consider myself an extremely early riser for the time being. Of course, it'll change when my late night poker starts again. Heading to the Borgata in a few days before going back to watch my parents' dog AZ, so by the time I get to the west coast, I'll probably be a night owl again.

[hotjenny314]

Very happy for you, Nicole!

I met and had a really nice chat with Linda Johnson last night.
She was playing in my friend's 75/150 O8 game, and I went over and introduced myself, and she pulled up a chair at her table for me to sit down to talk. We had a lovely 30 minute chat, and it was great to talk to such an inspiring and accomplished woman in poker. She was very complimentary of this forum, which made me extremely proud, not just because I am the one who started it, but just because of how much experience she has in the poker world.

I am going to start an 'Ask Linda' thread soon, in which she will answer questions about rules and women in poker and anything else that comes to mind...We will do it closer to the end of the series prob though, since she is super busy right now.
