Title: Going to Vegas.
Post by: NoflopsHomer on January 09, 2006, 03:37:43 PM
Hey, I've won a trip to Vegas, but I have to go within the next six months, I just wondering if anyone could offer me advice on when the best time to go would be. Also if anyone was planning to go anyway, I'd love to hook up with you in Vegas. 8)

The best time to go will be in 5-6 months time. During the series.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, hopefully I can be part of the "Blonde Raiding Party 2006". I've just received an email from 32Red Poker asking if they can do a press release for their website about the win. Bloody Hell!!

Well I don't really want to go on about it because I mentioned it in the Internet section... But ok I will. ;)

On Sunday night I played an event mentioned to me by DaMatrix, which was the 32Red Poker Masters and I won it! $8960 and a trip to Vegas!

And now 32Red Poker want a press release for their website, I shall be bigging up Blonde because I'd never have won without this place! 8)

If I were lucky enough to have your choice I would go for the Bellagio tourney in April/May.

It's the nicest time of year climate-wise as opposed to August's unbearably hot temperatures outside.

What's the buy-in there?

Any time will be excellent :D

Will they buy you into any events or do you have to fork out for yourself out of the 9 GRAND you've just won :D

Go for the WSOP - you may come home with a bracelet

Well, I'm speaking to 32Red Poker tomorrow so I'll let you know how that goes. My family are still amazed.

Jezza - It was great really meeting you and Kezza too, mate, I think there should be meetups every month now. :D

Finally, I'm still finding it quite funny that I had previously met both Jammer, and Jammer and Snoopy's Dad at Walsall! I randomly got talking to them after a rookie comp then I run into Jammer here. Brilliant.

I've just had a phone call from Kate Blackmore of 32Red Poker, obviously they wanted to get to know a little bit more about me seeing as I signed up the very same day as the tournament! :D I spoke to them a little about possible dates to go to Vegas and asked if there was any chance of going towards the end of June to be there for part of the WSOP, (also it's my birthday on the 1st of July), that didn't seem to be a problem. Though telling my brother he can't come with me because he isn't 21 yet certainly will be. :(

I was asked to give a little account of how I played and I must have nervously mumbled and blabbered on for a good five minutes, but Kate was very nice and friendly. Finally, I asked if they could stick in a little mention for this site if at all possible.
