World Series of Poker Preview

Back again for year 4 of a full schedule at the World Series of Poker in sunny Las Vegas. This year I will be twittering. You can go to twitter.com and get an account if you dont have one, it is super easy to sign up. My name is audavidb. Just find me and hit follow. I will be sending out chip counts, table draws, and other random facts during the events via twitter.

Nightly (most nights I play) I will post an entry here with more detail with hand descriptions and futue plans for tournaments. I am going to try to gear this blog towards a wide array of people as I have many poker player friends that will want real strategy and names. There will also be many friends/family that dont know the difference between a flush and a river card, so Ill try to keep some things real simple.

This year I am renting a killer house with some of my best poker friends, Ray Henson, Cornel Andrew Cimpan, and Jimmy Gorham.

As for my plans and goals for this years WSOP here goes. I plan to play in about 14-20 events, with an estimated cost of 60k worth of events give or take 5k. Its very hard to plan exactly as everyday has 2 events a day and every event lasts 3 days. If I do real well in an event it may cost me a chance to enter another event and conversely if I get eliminated early, I may take a shot at an unplanned event.

My goals for 2009 Series.....
4-5 cashes
200k minimum worth of cashes
2 final tables
1 top 3 hopefully 1st and my 1st WSOP bracelet

You can also follow the entire WSOP at worldseriesofpoker.com. There is another David Baker on the tour so some of the updates on there will be me and some will be him, so its kind of difficult to follow on there. The other David Baker is really deep in the 40k No Limit event currently going on. Just wanted to mention it in case you see the name or he wins. This one isnt me, but hopefully next big run will be this David Baker.

The first event on my schedule is the 1k event #4. It has 2 1st days Sat and Sun, I will be playing Sunday starting noon pacific. There are around 6000 people in this event which should provide a huge overlay (alot of people entering that have no shot to win). This tournament is kind of like a lottery ticket. We will start with very few chips and action will be fast and furious. This is an event you take chances and try to get some chips as there will be millions of land mines on every corner.

Thanks for following
