Now that my attempt to get to Prague for my birthday is over (unless someone decides to donate $20,000 to the effort in the next few days, which seems unlikely) I’m looking at where to concentrate my efforts. With that in mind, these are some stats from my attempts in $10K guarantee tournaments at the Encore Club.

That’s two cashes in five attempts. On the other hand, I haven’t managed to cash once in the Aces $10K in 13 tries.
Nice job on the win, Poker Mutant. I’m sorry things didn’t go better at the Venetian, but I hope you had a good time. Those events down there are a blast, the $350 tournies were perfect. I can’t wait to return for the April series.
