My journey to the Main Event has started

Last night we started our 2010 WSOP Home League. We have 9 players who will play 18 events over the next 18 months and one of us will go represent the group next year. It's very exciting to think that I have a 1 out of 9 chance in making my dream come true. When will I ever have an opportunity like this again? I hope to take advantage of this opportunity and make the most of it. Each event each player will receive points based on their finish. The person with the highest points in the end will receive a cash prize that will include entry fee and travel expenses. Our point system is as such:

1st place receives 16 points
2nd place receives 12 points
3rd place receives 8 points
4th place receives 7 points
5th place receives 6 points

etc... you understand the structure. My goal is to place in the top 3 each event. I finished in 2nd last night.

It was a little complicated to get all the details worked out and I am sure over the next year and a half we will learn better ways of running one of these and hopefully we can start another one for the 2011.

I'll be posting updates each month as to how the group is doing. Until then... Shuffle up and deal!!!

PEACE
