You can win a seat to the WSOP!

You go to the various professional poker sites, or the sites that talk about poker strategy and tactics, or talk to your next door neighbor, and they're all offering you a chance to win a seat at the WSOP and become a poker pro.

I believe this is what doubled 2004's field to 5619 this last year. This year, they think they'll only have 8000 entries for poker players, however, by the looks of things, that number could be low. Some sites are offering hotel packages in addition to the entry fee itself.

As I don't really play poker online, my opportunities are limited, however, I too am joining the fray. I'm playing in a charity poker tournament on June 10th, where the grand prize is, you guessed it, a seat at the WSOP Main Event.

I've also got promotional duties to attend to for it, so, between that and the writing that I'm painfully behind on, I don't know how well I'll do. I do know that I'll be doing more research, as I have to get ready....

More on this when it comes up again.

72 and sunny in Redondo Beach. See you next time.
