It’s a big week-and-a-half of Oregon poker coming up, with the spring edition of the Wildhorse Poker Round-Up starting tomorrow. I’m planning to head out Monday with some of the winnings from a fourth-place ICM chop in the Encore Club $17K guarantee special tournament a couple of weeks ago (and a first-place finish in the day-after-Easter $1K guarantee at Final Table). Min-cashed a $10K guarantee at Final Table the day before the Encore final table, as well.

This weekend at Wildhorse will have a couple of NLHE games but I’ll be making another stab at Omaha High/Low and HORSE, with my backup plan Monday night being the High Roller Super Satellite. Wednesday is the Seniors event or (if I’m feeling frisky) the High Roller, which is only $1,500 this time around.

A friend’s 50th birthday party precluded me from playing last weekend’s $42K guarantee at Encore, and I bricked out of the monthly $20K at Final Table in the third level the night before (then made my buyin back in an hour playing a shootout, I really need to play more cash games).

I was out of this pot by this time. The winning hand was [7x 8x].
