The Poker Lab Rat

It hardly seems to have been 12 months since the last WSOP convention in Harrah’s in Vegas when we saw motor mouth Jamie GOld turn the  main event into a personal chip collecting exercise (actually it’s only technically been 11 months).

But there cannot be a poker player or poker fan that does not get excited about the World Series Of Poker.

During the event nothing seems impossible. 21yo’s can borrow money from their parents and end up winnig TWO gold bracelets. And Doyle Brunson might win his 11th bracelet to solidify his place in poker history.

And maybe a webmaster from Wellington can walk into Vegas with a dream and possibly walk out a world Champion. Ahem … oops. But that is why we love poker. Anyone can compete with the best in the world and have a chance to win.

Most of us will never win a gold medal at the olympics, or take part in the SuperBowl, or compete for the Stanley Cup - but with some determination and a “chip and a chair” we have the chance to create another poker legend.

So get online. Follow the WSOP. Learn your trade … and start paying attention to all those WSOP freerolls and satellite tournaments that offer the chance to win entry into the 2008 main event.

Who will win in 2008? It has to be someone. Maybe me. Maybe YOU. It might be a pro - but every year there is more and more chance that it will be an online player.

So .. do you feel lucky? See you on the felt.
