Wsop 2019

So who is planning on heading down to Vegas this year for WSOP?

As usual, I am trying to convince the wife to let me go. For those who are considering going, I'm really interested in how and where you are looking for flights/hotels and what, if any, deals are available. June 28th would be the earliest day I can head down and there are still a few possible tournaments that I could play in for $1500 or under. Basically, I'm looking at dates between June 28 to July 10 to fly down.

I haven't been able to find anything less than around $450 per person for flights not including hotel. I feel that it's possible to get better deals than that though. Any help/suggestions?

I am going to do my best to make the $400 colossus, start jun26/27 and end jun30. So ask for two days off. You are not teaching anyways. I would be flying back Jul 1

It's a possibility I could get those days off. Exams are technically over on the 26th. I'd have to get all my marks in that day though.

Mark on plane. Use internet.

Probably not possible. I have to submit all marked exams to the office. They store them away for a year (or two maybe). I don't know if they'd let me hold onto them until I come back.

Next cash game at Trig's we all need to explain to his wife how it would be great for his sex life to let him go on a Vegas trip with a bunch of guys..... oh wait.. maybe that wouldn't help..

Our last vacation (a long time ago) was to Atlantic City and she only went there for me. It's not like she particularly doesn't want to go to Vegas. She just would rather go somewhere she prefers, which is fair. However, I'd prefer Vegas and she said that if I can find a good deal she'd consider going. Basically, I'm just being a selfish prick... but it's for poker...

Booked for June 6-16. Hopefully most of the senior events will be that week.

I found this year's WSOP Seniors Structure sheet (http://www.wsop.com/pdfs/structuresheets/structure_1622_17290.pdf) and this year's structure looks to be significantly better than previous years. I calculated the Patience Factor as 50.79, which is way better than the last several years (it was only 29.51 last year) and I calculated the S-Points as 144 (compared to 88 last year). My math could be suspect (like Comp, I'm a retired senior now) but I'm fairly confident of its accuracy. The Senior's starting stack this year is 20,000 and the first level blinds are 100-100. They are using the big blind ante structure and antes begin in level 3 and are equal to the big blind. The tournament is now shown as being 4 days, with the last day being the final 6.

P.S. - any of you planning on joining me for Day 4?
