[Honolulu Blue]

You can see the full list here. (http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/news/fullstory.sps?inewsid=393478&itype=&iCategoryID=1514) Highlights:

* The whole thing runs from June 1-July 17. The Main Event goes July 6-17.
* 55 events in total; some start at noon, some at 5 PM.
* More non-Hold'em events, and a few mixed limit/NL events.

It's too early to decide whether I want to join the party (don't bet on it, unless you get great odds), but I know some of you went last year and some may make it this year. I'm sure this will help in your planning.

June 23, 2007 Saturday 12 noon 38 No-Limit Hold’em (3 day event) $ 1,500.00

I'm guessing this might be the target event for a re-convening of the FOFC BALLERZ contingent.

I think I'm planning to lock up a suite at the Rio for this year, centered on one or two events I plan to play in. Right now, my thinking is this is the target event - right before the big HORSE event, and leading up to the final events.

Anyone else interesting in hitting around this spot?

[primelord]

You know I am in.

Yes, pending about 10 variables that will play out in the next two months.

[primelord]

I am considering making two trips out this year. I would like to play in the 6 handed event on June 7th. So I make a trip out there for that event as well.

[QuikSand]

There is some possibility that we relocate the whole family out there for the month of June. If so, we'll have a house and room for a crasher or two.

[Lathum]

I am thinking of going as well

[CleBrownsfan]

Damn - I would love to go but I'm getting married on June 23rd. One of these years I'm hoping to meet you guys in Vegas...

[digamma]

Very strong likelihood I'll make it out for that weekend.

[kingfc22]

I know I will be out there the week of the main event. One of my co-workers wants to celebrate her birthday there.

[cartman]

I'll be out there from June 18th to the 21st for the HP Convention at Mandalay Bay. I could probably find a way to extend the trip a few extra days.

[cartman]

Dola,

If anyone wants to room crash between the 18th and 21st, HP is footing the bill for the room, so no skin off my back.

[k0ruptr]

It's a possibility I may be entering the event quiksand posted above. I'll let everyone know if it happens.

[cartman]

So, the $1500 NLHE event mentioned above by QS is next weekend. I'm going to be out in Vegas for that. Is anyone else?

If so, it's BALLERZ time, YO!

[Lathum]

you playing in it?

[QuikSand]

I'm playing today in event #27, and probably a couple more events over the next few weeks.

[Lathum]

good luck!!

[QuikSand]

Well... that was lots of fun.

After raising and missing three flops, I had faded about a third of my chips by 50 minutes deep.

When I finally raise and hit an ace holding AQ, I got called down by a guy who flopped two pair with A7, and he didn't raise until I was pot committed. I don't even know how many players were in the event, but I'm quickly among those out...still within the first level. *sigh*

That's my plan. I just arrived about an hour ago. My first hour here was spent running the FOFC-BBCF sim. :) As long as I don't lose the $1500 I brought before then, I'll be in that tourney.

So, QS, we gonna meet up to play the mechanical horse racing game? :D
