Sounds like a fantastic opportunity from both a personal and business perspective.. Go with it and show those Americans how it's really done. :)
I spent 6 weeks in the San Jose area in 79 or 80 during my IBM days and enjoyed it immensely. My family (wife and 3 kids all under 6) came with me and it was quite the experience as my wife had never really travelled outside of Ontario up to that point.
Would you consider starting a blog (either here or linked to here) so that we could all share in your quest? Would be an interesting read, especially with your flair for creative writing...
As for the Million, since I have never played it, I am probably not the perfect candidate however am willing to give it my best effort and since I would likely be the least experienced at large BI online tournaments, ie biggest I have played is $20. My biggest online win is like $1200. on a FT deep stack a year ago.
Perhaps beginners luck for an ol mod? lol, at least the regs wouldn't have a book on me..:)
I really loved the area in the short time I was there.
I used to have a blog but now I just post on here so that's what I'll keep doing...I don't expect anything too exciting to happen poker-wise for a while. I had the most fun playing 8 16 limit when I was there. Just splashing chips around and being social so that will probably be the initial plan until I grow tired of it and need to play some big bet poker. Hopefully once I get settled in I will start taking some shots at 5/10+.
Bay 101 and Garden City are within 10 minutes of my clinic so I will be posting some trip reports from there. I've found my 2 sessions back in Edmonton gloomy and boring since playing at Garden City. It will be fun to check out Bay 101 once I get down there.
I think the Bay 101 WPT is in early March before I get there.
I've never played the SM either and I don't plan on it. I can't sit in front of a screen for that long. I don't really care about anyone's results for this deal, it's more about who I think deserves a shot and (obviously biased) who I enjoy on the forum. I may have to add a couple more seats.
