Playing one of the non-turbo $1K NLHE buy-in tournaments sometime this summer? Here’s some stuff to keep in mind that might be of use getting through Day 1. I couldn’t completely anticipate that the increase in the starting stack wouldn’t extend Day One, but as soon as it went up, the WSOP put this advisory out about the Colossus, which has the same structure.

I’ll be in Las Vegas tomorrow morning (29 May) for the first weekend to pick up my media pass. I hope to meet up with as many Pacific Northwest players down for the Colossus as I can, catch up with anyone who’s read the blog or one or more of my articles over the past year or so and liked it (or had a bone to pick with it), and other members of the poker media that I’m trying to weasel into. I’ll be tweeting info about OR, WA, ID, and BC players in restarts (and other info) with the hashtag #PNW_WSOP_15.
