TP's 2 minutes of fame - 2006 WSOP...

I'd probably be down for that. If nothing else, a TP suite or adjoining suites... something like that.

I'd prefer to do the preliminary events thing again, but it's way too soon to say.

Any way to find out when Harrah's will announce the 2008 schedule?

Come on, dude... no one needs to plan THAT far in advance.

They'll probably announce it in another couple of months.

wow, I'm surprised I never realized that was you when I watched that video. I hate the laydown but i understand the logic (while I still disagree with it there.)

Care to expand on this?

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't an easy fold and it was really close for me. If he had more chips, it would have been easier for me to throw my hands away... less and I probably would have called (and FWIW, at the time, I thoguht he had a bit more than he did - I didn't ask for a count, and I should have).

This was a tough spot, so I decided to go with the "I'm playing great and don't need to take an unnecessary risk" logic. You're more of an "I have AK, so let's get it all in the middle" kind of guy, aren't you? I'm certainly not saying that's wrong, btw - just stating an observation.

Only reason why I like the laydown there is that you were close to the bubble if I remember it right. So why flip at that point. You had a good amount of chips left.

We were down to 11 players and had been in the money since the previous day (it paid over 100 spots, as I recall).

I have zero regrets about this fold. If this was a cash game or maybe much earlier in the tourney, sure, it's an easy call - but this was one spot (two technically) from a WSOP final table... and I had a decent stack.

The wife want wants to start fishing for travel deals and for hotels in case the time share falls through.

In our house, the "big summer vacation" planning starts at around T-minus 10 months.

Oceanwaves can be a little A-type about these things.
