A friend of mine is hosting a satellite tournament to the World Series of Poker and he asked me to post it here. I don't have all the details yet (blind structure/starting chip count), but I figured I would post what information I do have at this point.

BTW, are you still on hiatus?
My feeble attempts at a sabbatical have proved fruitless. I'm still playing, but I've scaled back on my live tournament play. I play about one or two a month, and play online a lot. My most recent win was in a Pstars Pot Limit $100 buy-in. 110 players, 1st paid $2700. I've managed to give 2/3's back over the last month playing 10/20 & your bread and butter, 15/30 limit!!??? It's amazing how inflated your ego get's after a solid win. I think I'm the second coming of Brunson after a good tournament! But it doesn't take long for the real players to bring me right back down to earth. I find the same thing re-occurring in my poker notes..."keep your damn ego in check"!! All part of the learning process I suppose. Fine line between confidence, which is a must in poker, and arrogance which is fatal in poker. I heard you took down Woodbridge last month. Nice job.....that one was long overdue!
That's not necessarily a bad thing. I'd rather be playing with the mindset that 'I'm entitled to win' instead of 'I deserve to lose'. Of course, neither of these attitudes are really productive, but nonetheless.... In my experience, a big win is great for morale. I don't think I'm unbeatable by any means (there is ample proof of that), but it's nice to feel that you have what it takes to win. And keeping the books in the black ink doesn't hurt, either.
A very good point, and well-said.
Thanks! It FELT overdue, but in actual fact, I think I only played in five Woodbridge events before I took it down. In a field that is always 60+ players, some of whom are very good, I don't know why I felt that my results there were catastrophic before winning it. Maybe if I'd squeaked into the money once or twice before the win it wouldn't have felt that bad, but yeah, it was pretty sweet. And then they went and cancelled the Tuesday Woodbridge tournaments, for the time being. I guess they figured that if I can win it, it's time to re-tool....
Hope to see you at the felt again sometime soon.
