Back on the Tournament Trail Again
It has officially been one year since I took a trip for the sole purpose of playing in a tournament. Last year I played in the United States Poker Championships and then took a hiatis from poker due to financial reasons. I took my poker bankroll and turned it into rent and expenses money. From that point, most of you know my journey from business owner to poker writer. Well, as of next month, I will be back on the road playing tournaments again.
The Fall Poker Classic at the Golden Nugget casino in Las Vegas will take place starting Nov 24th and I will be there. Every event except the Women’s event is a non-holdem event. Right up my alley. It should be a blast. I will be staying at the 4 Queens Hotel and Casino due to a great rate I found there. I plan to go out and do well at the Nugget. The tourney set looks to be a great one. I hope the structures match the promise.
After the event, I am not quite sure what I am up to next. I may stay in California a few days and play out there. There will be a couple of events at the Bike I might play and I would like to play some west coast stud and stud 8. That’s not a definite yet. The Tunica Circuit event is out and the schedule looks ok now that they have posted the right one. I might go down there for a week in January. I am not sure yet. I’m also going to see if the Trump is going to put up a schedule for December for their Trump Classic.
One of my new gigs looks to be able to provide me enough stability financially to allow me to travel again, and if it keeps up, that will be great. Not much else going on right now with me other than staying busy. Depending on how I feel, I may drive up to AC this week and play some cash games. I can’t wait to get back out on the poker trail. And now that my work is actually centered around poker, my play will support my work.
