Your Crack At Stardom

Besides the fact that I, like other bloggers, have gotten cracks at writing for established poker sites (Go CC!), I've also decided that I want to take my shot at stardom and fame in the poker world.

The big thing is of course, the WSOP. I was offered a seat in a satellite to the main event, but considering situations at home (and short notice at work and not wanting to leave my absolutely adorable daughter), I passed up the seat and allowed a member of the site I write for to take my satellite seat. Of course, the sunuvabich wins his way in. I can't begrudge anything--I'm just kidding--and I wish him the absolute best, as I do for everyone else I know who won their way to the Main Event.

However, this will not be my path to glory. My path is a little different, and the person who took last year's path really didn't do as much as another player who made the Final Table did. My path to glory is going to be (with the wife's absolute blessing, nonetheless) the US Poker Championships (USPC) at my home casino, Trump's Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.

I'm currently searching for online sites to try and satellite my way in, and absent those opportunities, I'll be down there playing in the satellites and Super Sats into the ME (or even a preliminary event that I'll use winnings to buy in to the ME directly) from now until all hell breaks loose in September.

Wish me luck in my quest for glory.
