Excited for 2008 Player of the Year Race!!!

Want to start off by saying happy holidays to all who read my blog... I finished the year with 6 final tables during the last tournament. It was a smaller tournament but allowed me to play a lot of tourneys and get my game back up to the level it needs to be to start the new year.

I am really hopeful and confident in the upcoming year and will be starting the year off in Tunica, Mississippi where there are both WPT and WSOP events going on at two separate Casinos 2 minutes apart from each other. It allows a great opportunity to determine which event will have the best value (highest prize pool and turn out) each day between the 2 tourneys. There are so many events, such large prize pools, and a great way to start off the New Year for the player of the year points. The Card Player player of the year opens many doors for sponsorship, Invitational tournaments, and other opportunities to help with the poker career.

This is one of the largest achievements for a poker player so I want to make sure that I start 2008 off with the bang. I have had success at this tournament in the past (played in 2 tourneys) and took 2nd place for just under 40k in a $500 event. I will be in Tunica from January 3rd or so through the 23rd.

I then will be heading back to Vegas for the Venetian Double Stack tournament. They added this event because of the great success during June in their first double stack tourney. It will be competing with the LA Poker Classic but based on past participation this should be a great event. These events have such large starting chip counts that it allows the best players to be given time to outplay the bad players and not have to make moves early given great tournament structure.

I look forward to many future final tables and great news provided in my blog.

Here is to 2008 and a run at Millions and the player of the year race.

Until the NEW YEAR!!!!!
