Sunday afternoon I played in the Woman's Tournament at The Bike. It was a $40 NL Headhunter Holdem tourny, which means for every person you knock out of the tournament, you get a a specified amount of money ($10 in this case). First place paid out $4,000 and a purse with a matching wallet (yea, I found that slightly insulting... a fucking PURSE

holy crap! 1700? can you not take the letter to the person you paid, and at least get your money back? i know that the lady who does ours has us sign that they (the govt) can contact her first with problems.

i can't believe that you don't know when you are going yet! of course, i was just talking with my friend who is living in germany. she said that they wanted to live in ireland, but the paperwork for the visas is outrageous!

Yea the visa thing is becoming a bitch... I think there's talk of sending us over as a business trip which will be OK for 3 months and hopefully by then we'll have our visas.

And I don't think I'm ever talking to the person that did my taxes... I'm just going to try to figure it out myself at this point... it can't be any worse.

how odd, I was just at the Bike Thursday playing the $30 nooner, at Hollywood Park the previous day playing their noon $30. Final tabled the Wens for a minor cash which paid for the buy in+ add-on at the Bike. So I broke even which means I basically got to play two tournaments for free. score!

Congrats on making the final two tables, that's much better than my finish out of 78 players... but I'm still learning.

Why did I think you lived in like Virginia or something similar?

I think my personal best was at the Taj in December... got 9th out of 300+ but until this tournament I've been basically sucking.

I actually was forced to play good poker on Sunday cause those women will call you down with ANY pair :)

Actually I did, until about a little over a month ago. I moved out to Culver City in early April. So I'm just learning my way around.

I tried finding information on the "Bad Beat on Cancer" benefit but found virtually nothing. Is this an invitation only thing, or is the tournament open to the public?

Oh neat... I work in Westwood which is right next to Culver City and I live in Hollywood... wow, you found the cardrooms quick! Which is your favorite so far? I love the Bike but dont go to Hollywood Park much because I don't enjoy getting shot ;)
