Party Poker Blog

Quick update as things might be picking up here in this humble poker blog.

I've been spending some time at the new Hollywood Casino, roughly 25 minutes from my door to the poker table. It's approximately 41 tables and a very, very nice room.

This is an official WPT affiliated room, shockingly enough. Next March 5th - 24th will be the Hollywood Poker Open. A televised event with 18 events over 20 days, culminating in a 10k WPT Championship tourney.

Yowza.

Here's the schedule for the August so-called Indiana State Poker Championship in a few weeks:

Event 1) 8/3 NL Hold Em Shootout 15k starting $300 buyin
Event 2) 8/5 NL Hold Em 9K starting $1000
Event 3) 8/6 NL Hold Em 6k starting $500

And also, as of this week, I have left my full-time employment at the ad agency.

Coincidence?
