I’m about a week behind on my WSOP trip reports, but I just want to interject with some exciting real-time news:

Today is the $1500 PLO8, the last WSOP event I’m going to play before the main. Although the series hasn’t been kind to me so far, I’m optimistic about this event because I really enjoy playing PLO8, and the potential edge over players who don’t know what they’re doing is enormous. I may well have a larger edge in this tournament than in any other that I played.

So I just want to assure everyone, particularly those of you with a financial interest in the outcome, that I am pumped and ready to play my best today. I was not at all tilted by losing a huge coin flip in last night’s $1K, and after the tournament was over I came straight  home and went to bed so I’d rested for today. I most definitely did not go on an all-night bender and wake up 27 minutes ago on a golf course in Henderson. I am feeling fresh and in a good place mentally and physically.

Let’s do this!!!!
