So we have a few different threads going about the WSOP, figured we are getting pretty close and it would be a good idea to make one official thread where everyone can post their dates for being in Vegas, what events you are playing and so on. So consider this that thread!
im all set! leaving NC on May 21st…arriving in Vegas on May 23rd. Flying home on June 27th for my birthday and returning to Vegas on July 6th through the end of the Main Event.
Can't wait to meet a bunch of you out there again this year! We'll be hosting a BBQ at the house at some point and you are all welcome. Date TBD and could be kind of last minute as we are balancing alot of the pros sechedules. Stay tuned!
TPE friends,
I will be making a short trip to Vegas this summer, July 5-8. There is a bracelet bounty tourney on July 6th for $560 that looks like fun. If you want to play in it I think you might need to preregister as it may fill up fast. There are bounties on former bracelet winners, although it is not a bracelet event. I think I am going to play the $300 nooner at Ceasars the day before, and I'm not sure about the 7th. Please post or pm me if you are planning on playing these and maybe we can catch dinner or meet up on break. Good luck to all! marty
All set here. Driving from LA on May 30th, staying until the 7th at the Gold Coast. Anyone with a Gold Coast card should check their account, got a couple of nights free and the 8 nights worked out to $280 total for their “premium room”.
Planning to play the WSOP $1500 re-entry, several Venetians, Rio daily DS, sats and nightlies. May venture downtown to Binions and GN for a change of scenery. If the trip is going well then I'll extend my stay to the 10th and play either the $1500 shootout on the 6th or the 6-max on the 7th.
Spending a lot of time reading, watching vids, running a study group and playing at the LA casinos. Really excited for this summer, feeling like things are going to go well and there is a big score or two coming. Had a decent summer last year with one win in a Binions events, and got close to a nice score, but came up short in a Rio DS with 2 tables left.
Look forward to meeting others from TPE. Let's smash the WSOP and surrounding tournaments!
I'll be here for the entire event because I live in Vegas at the moment. I haven't determined which WSOP I'll play, but I'll be getting in a ton of action during the the nightlies, sattalites, Binions, Golden Nugget, VDS, etc… will troll and find where the value is.
I too look forward to meeting other TPE members. I'm expecting big thing for TPE Nation… I think everyone that's in Vegas this summer should post their cashes here so TPE can use it as their testimonial.
Those that are coming out toe Vegas, drop me a PM if you need something before you head out here.
Weare planning to have a little TPE get together on Saturday June 16th. Now a lot of people will be playing that day. There is a $400 at the Venetian and a $1500 WSOP. So the idea is that people would come to the gathering as they bust of if they have already busted and drown their sorrows!
Anyway, wanted to get your feedback on which of these you would prefer:
1. Have a get together somewhere at the Rio Saturday night. Could be a little crazy over there that night, but might be where a lot of people are playing.
2. Have a get together somewhere at the Venetian Sturday night. Might be a little more condusive to hanging out than the Rio and I can imagine a lot of members will be playing there and it would be fun to rail people who get deep.
3. Have a get together at the Blue Martini where we met up last year. It's a bit loud and not the best for conversing, but is still a great hang and one of our long time members works there and takes great care of us.
4. Talk to the poker room manager at Green Valley Ranch (a locals casino that is not as crowded and crazy as the strip) about getting a couple of private tables and go play and hang out over there. Nice thing about that is that last year they let us have our way at the table. Me made up our own rules, stakes, etc and they took really good care of us. There is also a sports book and a nice bar for people who want to just hang out and have some drinks and chat.
Thoughts???
have had a terrible time with computers since getting to Vegas, so sorry for lack of updates, etc.
Everyting is working now so i'll start getting up more photos, updates, etc.
Also will be recording a podcast today wtih Marc Alioto who moved on to day 2 of the Venetian Deepstack openign event with the chiplead (with day 1b goinbg today)

Can usually spot us wearing TPE patches…but you can always shoot me or anyone else a PM and we'll get notification.
Casey was the only one who played that yesterday, did you happen to run in to him?
Going to be SUPER informal, but we are going to meet up and Green Valley Ranch tonight.
All the guys are playing, but those that bust will come over there…those who bag obviously wont make it (unless they come really late).
I'm not playing so me and anyone who busts will be there at 8 PM…we'll probably be in the poker room, but feel free to shoot me a DM on twitter if you can't find us!
Hopefully we'll get to meet some of you tonight!!
