I am headed to Vegas and the Rio Hotel for my run at the WSOP 2009. You can follow my progress on my Twitter page (@RGC2005) or just scroll down to the bottom left.
Wish me luck.

For all of you online gamers and gamblers out there these two bills are the keys to continuing one of your favorite hobbies in the freedom of your own home.
Still Grinding
In 1 on May 22, 2009 at 2:45 pmWith less than a week before the WSOP starts I have still not cracked the Steps on Stars. I have reached Gold VIP status and collected a whole lot of step 4 tickets. I keep running into tables full of Regular high stakes grinders that have skipped all the rest. I will need to cross my fingers, play my game and avoid flipping with donkeys if I want to do this for under $600.

In the above article one of the major objections to online poker and gaming in general is completely debunked. I never thought about the fact that online horse racing bets are placed every day by Kentuckians and not one person has complained about underaged gamblers. Kentucky has a system in place for online gaming and an almost inpenetrable system for scratch off players; Face to Face, Hand to Hand transactions.
How hard would it be to turn those systems into a mechanism for online Intra-State poker here in Kentucky?
The STEP Grind
In 1 on May 12, 2009 at 11:00 pmI have been grinding the WSOP Steps on Stars. Holy Mary these things are rough. I have picked up a few $200 tickets but every time I look at playing for a Step #5 I see tables full of high limit SNG sharks waiting to snap me off. I really wish Poker Stars would limit the number of seats these guys can win. They are killing the action bigtime since most of us know what the deal is there. Regardless, my plan is to rack up 6 to 10 Step 4 tickets wait for the weekend and try to bumrush my way to a seat in the WSOP all for less than my budget of $400.
Wish me the best.
It is acutally Black Jack but whatever fills the rooms I guess.
