The Immediate\u00a0Future of Mutant Poker<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A lot of readers here came aboard last summer<\/strong>, when I started doing daily round-ups<\/strong> of news from\u00a0Las Vegas<\/strong> under the PNW_WSOP_15<\/a><\/strong> tag. I looked through every<\/strong> payout list, news report, end of day report, seating chart, and blog post<\/strong> I could find on players from Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and, yes, Idaho. Idaho!<\/em>\u00a0One blog to rule them all….<\/strong>\u00a0Most of my work was done here in Portland, though I was able to spend Colossus weekend in the WSOP Media room<\/strong><\/a> (yay!<\/em>). The info was on the internet, it’s a lot cheaper for me to do the work from home than Vegas. It’s been my intention to do the same thing this upcoming WSOP.<\/p>\n

But that’s not going to happen in 2016<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean I’m not going to be giving out useful information on events in Vegas. It’s just not going to be targeted to players from the Pacific Northwest<\/strong>, because I’ll be working as part of the WSOP’s live reporting team<\/strong>. I’ll be working in the Rio for most\u2014if not all\u2014of the seven weeks beginning right after Memorial Day<\/strong>. It’s an exciting opportunity for someone who likes to write about poker, which I do, though you might ask me about that in a couple of months<\/strong>.\u00a0The long days of a poker reporter\u00a0are likely to adversely affect how much info I post here through mid-July, but I’ll be back after that. There isn’t a huge amount going on regionally outside Vegas in June, anyway.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all my regular readers<\/strong>. I wouldn’t be getting this gig if it wasn’t for the audience. I’ve never kept a diary, because I hate to write for a small audience, and writing just for a readership of one seems a bit masturbatory to me. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I just prefer to share my love.) But without knowing that there were people who at least briefly looked at the articles and calendar, I wouldn’t have kept at it, and I wouldn’t be heading to Vegas for as long as I am this year. So\u00a0pat yourselves on the back<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I’m just about done with another tournament blow-by-blow<\/a><\/strong>, this time of a 65-player Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Bounty<\/strong> tournament. Again, with all cards exposed, and down to the final heads-up hand. That should start later this week.<\/p>\n

Just so you know not everything’s peaches and cream<\/strong>, now I’ve got so much stuff to get done in the next month I can’t take advantage of this:<\/p>\n
