Cancelling WPBT

[shipitfish]

I am going to cancel my planned trip to the World Poker Blogger Tournament. I supposed that having an online poker journal that isn't a blogs qualifies you to attend, so I signed up. (I hate the word “blog” so much. :) My larger plan was to get a nice room at the Wynn, arrive on Friday, make some money in the very soft deep-stack $1/$3 game there, playing off the poker room rate, and then play the tourney.

As it turns out, this isn't going to be a good time to take off work. I have too many ongoing projects, and I could only leave for a weekend. It just can't be worth it to go all the way to Las Vegas for an $80 buy-in event. Plus, W.D. and I have tentative plans to go to A.C. this month anyway during our office's planned end-of-year shutdown.

So, I'll do a trip to Vegas later in the winter. I've resolved never go again in the summer unless I have won a satellite for $5k or better buy-in event, so I should cash in some of the frequent flier miles and go sometime in February or somesuch. Anyone interested in planning a trip?

Meanwhile, the illustrious nick_marden may come down to New York City from Boston for SIF@HOME 0x04 in January.

Oh, I thought it was going to be SIF@HOME (1 << 2). Maybe I won't come, after all.

For your inaugural visit, it can be numbered any way you like. :)
