The driver's license doesn't, but my national ID card has my address on it, so I guess I'll be all right.

The article also mentions a utility bill, which is not even identification - I have 3 photo IDs with me, but no utility bill (WTF? Who goes on vacation and brings their utility bill?). I'll check out next week whether I can register to one of those 235$ side event tournaments.

Since I cannot draw at all, that's pure magic to me. As for not having had a new member in years, didn't we have a screen play writer recently?

Counterpoint: eSports competitor granted pro-athlete visa I don't know if poker is a sport, but if competitive eating is classified as a sport (and I don't know either, if it is), then so should poker.

Thanks for reading and the kind words!

Now that I am back home for one and a half weeks, I managed to write up a sort of Las Vegas trip report. It'd be awesome, if you guys (and the women as well, of course) could saunter over to http://kaiherbertz.com/2013/06/11/11-what-happens-in-vegas/ and have a look

Thanks, Bob. Alas, my run came to an abrupt end. After 6 hands of folding, I pushed A5o UTG+1 for 2900 chips. At blinds of 300-600 and antes of 75, it would have been a trivial call anyway, but to add insult to injury, the big blind woke up with KK.

I've barely survived day 1a, hanging in there with 3.7k chips. Wish me luck, I need a couple of double ups...

I'm actually going to be in Vegas for the first time this WSOP, but I'm already flying back to Europe on the 1st of June. The 5k event is a bit too rich for me, but I want to play that 1k tourney on the 30th of May. It's a pity you're skipping the "cheap" events, it would have been nice to get the chance to play together.

New Year's resolutions for 2013 include cutting down on my internet time, which in turn means less online poker. Good thing, considering that online poker is so much more difficult than live poker. EDIT: "more difficult" is perhaps unclear, for the game is the same. I find that the competition online is a lot stronger, though.

Perhaps, but for me 200 VPP per month is a lot of volume, so if I am depositing, it will be 20 bucks.

Eating my words here. Tried it for a couple hundred of hands and so far the experience has been positive. Hopefully it continues like this.

This is FTP's rush poker with a different name, right? Thanks, I'll pass.

wb!

This is it for 2011 and predictably, I've only achieved the poker goal. For 2012 I'll set a mix of easy and hard goals that are also tiered.Poker- play 50k hands of poker. DONENon-Poker- write 50k words (preferably fiction). 15k / 50k- burn 50k calories with cardio. 2k / 50k
