DONKATOUR 2013* - THE RAIL!

To see the genesis of this: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...8&postcount=28

To see the planning: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/10...nning-1495512/

I'm going at this alone on Saturday 12/27 and looking forward to it! Nothing but donkey tournaments from 10AM to 1AM Obviously, I hope to run deep in a few of them, but in the spirit of the genesis of this, the goal is to do at least 5 tourneys.

FUEL
Todd from Poker Church & I are meeting at the Cracked Egg at 7:30AM to fuel up for the day. Anyone is welcome to join us. Send me a text if you have the number, otherwise send me a PM.

DRESS
Time to bust out the Sunday Red again. Not going to use the sunglasses but I will do:
Red visor - HeadSweats FTW!
Red Russell hooded sweatshirt
Russell sweat pants
Reebooks

So, yeah, I'm going to look like a shmuck all day in sweatpants, but they're comfortable and warm for a very windy Las Vegas right now!

BAG
My trusty bag will be with me all day:
Water - I'm swapping out my trusty Nalgene with my Poker Church water bottle!
Pellegrino - ever since I started drinking more water, I've become a sparkling water snob. San Pellegrino just plain kicks ass, its almost exclusively what I'm drinking now
CLIF Bars
Lucky coin (my avatar)
Player club cards
Manies

ELECTRONICS
I'm using:
iPhone 5s for calls and posting
iPhone 4s as a glorified iPod
EasyAcc battery pack to keep all of the above going the whole day. All devices will be fully charged overnight.

WHEELS
My car is gassed up and set to go. I'll be doing self parking as much as possible. A valet driving my Q5? Homie don't play that!

SCHEDULE
I have a rough idea of the schedule I want to keep. But I'm willing to make adjustments based on how deep I run or quickly bust out The point is to just keep playing in tourneys, probably won't play anything with an entry fee of more than $65 (as a base, I'll make exceptions for add-ons).

I'll be posting a live rail here. I will always post where I am headed next. So if you see me name a tourney that you want to play, feel free to come on down and join me!

*For the last time, YES, I realize the year is wrong. I picked the wrong year in the spirit of a total donkey move. Some people didn't read the disclaimers in my list post - sheesh!

Going through some things to get me in the mood for tomorrow and I decided that this is the official theme song for DonkaTour 2013 - I have a feeling the last few tourneys are going to be rough . . .

"Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
You can not save me!
I can't even save myself!"

I'm going full donkey on this - that's part of the challenge . . .

There's no rake - the casinos just host tournaments out of the kindness of their hearts, everyone knows this.

It's 3:30 in the morning. I am awake MUCH too early. I have a long day ahead of me and this is a terrible time for insomnia. I went to sleep at 9 so I did get about 6 hours, which is good, but I didn't think I'd be awake right now . . . guess I'm too excited about all the money I'm going to win today!

Waiting for MB tourney to start. Someone just hit a high hand for almost $400

I just love this room. High cielings, good lighting, great chairs, some of the best staff on The Strip

Good luck today, Jim_Beam! I'm still in Vegas but I'm playing the $500 event at Planet Hollywood. If I should unfortunately bust from that, I may join the DonkaTour for an event later on, although I sincerely hope to be unavailable.
