WSOP Summer Schedule<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The big news this week is, of course, yesterday’s announcement of the full schedule for the 47th Annual World Series of Poker<\/a>, which heralds the imminent release of the rest of the schedules from the Venetian, Planet Hollywood (the smaller Ceasar’s-run series), Golden Nugget, etc.<\/p>\n

There are 69 bracelet events this year, including the Main Event and already-announced Colossus, Millionaire Maker, and Seniors events. Looking down the list are some new entries, including #53 Mixed PLO\/Omaha Hi-Lo\/Big O, \u00a0#54 Crazy Eights (an eight-handed $888 buy-in with three entry flights and $888,888 guarantee), #61 Tag Team NLHE (news of which linked a couple of weeks ago), and Big O is in the mix for both the Dealer’s Choice\/Six-Handed events (#5, $1.5K buy-in and #11, $10K buy-in).<\/p>\n

PacWest Poker Classic<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There was some beautiful weather down at the beach for the opening weekend<\/a>. Chill and windy, but sunny. But if you’re there, you probably won’t see much of it because you’ll be inside the windowless conference center. So here’s a picture. This is on the path down to the beach\u00a0next to the casino; it’s literally a couple hundred feet to the right of where this picture was taken. Take your convertible down. I did.<\/p>\n

Everyone seems to be taking a week off from winning (except for me). Maybe they’re resting up for Chinook Winds! Just a little bit of news before the good stuff, then….<\/p>\n

10th Annual Northwest Deaf Poker Tournament<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Portland Players Club re-booted in A&L Bar, on the corner opposite its old location at NE 60th & Glisan, with the latest installment of the NWDPT. Attendance, as always, was good for three tournaments ranging from $50\u2014100 buy-in, there were a couple of casks of Read My Lips Rye IPA<\/a> from Grateful Deaf Brewing<\/a>, available, and reports from the attendees were positive.<\/p>\n

$100K Coming<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Final Table has announced the 3rd Annual Portland Poker Classic for April 30th<\/a>, a $100K guarantee. Also on the docket is a $20K guarantee-to-first-place game, on March 12th.\u00a0More details to come, presumably. And, of course, a week from Friday is the First Friday $20K guarantee.<\/p>\n

Hand-By-Hand 6-Max<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In case you didn’t see it (and if you care), I’m running a series with equity evaluations and analysis of every single card\u00a0dealt down to heads-up in an online 6-Max tournament from December. Twenty hands, five days a week,\u00a0until the bitter end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In Memoriam<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Last weekend was the memorial service for Curt Lockard, a regular in Portland poker circles and former dealer at Final Table (among many other things), who passed away a couple of weeks ago. Lots of people knew him, he was always a friendly face at the table when I ran into him, and there are lots of people sorry to see him go.<\/p>\n

More Memory<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

While we’re\u00a0at it, today would have been my mother’s 75th birthday. Despite her never saying anything about it, I don’t think she\u00a0was\u00a0particularly fond of my playing poker (the way I play, who would be?), but\u00a0she liked it when I was writing, so I’m dedicating the Planner for today to her.<\/p>\n

Deal of the Day:\u00a0Wildhorse Spring Poker Round Up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mid-April (4\/7\u201417) is the time to drive (or fly<\/a>) out to Pendleton again for a series of events<\/a>. Pendleton has a staple set of events, with the only real tinkering being with the High Roller that they added a couple of years ago. This year’s schedule is similar, with opening events on Friday and Saturday (the 8th and 9th), the first of which should get more than 400 entries in a $120 buy-in (including entry and dealer bonus). Limit Omaha Hi-Lo on Monday, HORSE on Tuesday, Seniors on Wednesday. The High Roller ($1.1K) has finally been moved off the days with HORSE and Seniors (where there is some overlap between the player pools) to Thursday, which might make it too close to the Main (starting Saturday the 16th) for some, but if you go that long in the High Roller, you’ll probably be able to live with it.<\/p>\n
