BamaT8er's Poker Adventures: WSOP and Summer in Vegas (8 Viewers)

[BamaT8ter]

As some of you already know, I'll be headed to Las Vegas for about a month this summer to dive headfirst into the WSOP and the Vegas poker scene. Instead of trying to keep everyone updated in 15 different places, I've decided to do a blog for the summer. I've started posting some of my plans already.

If you're interested in keeping up with my trip, you can find my blog here.

You can also see my first two posts here and here.

I'm by no means a professional blogger, so my apologies if the blog looks a little low budget. That's because it is.

We’ve rented a house over by UNLV.

Good luck! I'll be following along and gambling vicariously.

In the other big hand I had AQJ2 playing PLO 8/b and folded to a pot bet on a 22JQ board. Another player called and winner showed JJ for jacks full.

Great L1 fold with the baby full house, especially with the QJ blockers. I have to get better at those situaitons.

I really enjoyed this one. Question for you, given your experience in the wsop PLO structures and fields, do you think it’s better to register early or late reg?
