World Series of Poker Main Event Club!

[BFritz21]

I'm in a poker group with friends that's hosted by Sean Gibson, which he finished 39th in the 2017 Main Event.

We play in a tournament once a month and the top 6 players get points and money, and the top two point scorers at the end get seats into the WSOP Main Event.

Last month I finished fifth and tonight I finished fourth, which I should have done a lot better but I had two big blowups where I bluffed off a lot of chips. Won a few hundred dollars.

Just checked his email and I'm fifth in points!

Wish me luck!

Good luck, but I do not gamble with my money except on the stock market index 500 which has shown decent growth over the course of time.

Thanks. 

I'm hooked on poker and have been since I was 20, where I mostly played online and in poker games in the dorms.

Then, I turned 21 and kept playing in the dorms but also would go to the boat in Indiana (was Argosy then) to play in a tournament once or twice a week (half hour car ride).

When Covid hit, I got up $11,500 online, but then pro players joined the group and I never adapted, so lost it all.

Then, a few friends told me about this group, which there's 10 events and 40 people and I think they might be adding another seat, so three get in.

I just gotta keep my cool and not try to buy pots when I know there's no chance of it working.
