Leaving Las Vegas…
Later today I will be leaving Las Vegas and will heading back home to New York for another jetBlue afternoon.
Looking back at the week that I spent at the 2005 World Series of Poker, I’m pretty proud of what I was able to accompolish in my first entry in the “Main Event” of the World Series of Poker. While I was here, I started to gain an insider’s perspective on the “business of poker” which I have just started to explore. I am leaving Las Vegas with a lot more knowledge of the game of “No-Limit Hold’em”, something that one can only get by being at the WSOP in person and playing in face-to-face (non-internet) tournaments.
While I was at the WSOP, I enjoyed the opportunity of meeting and seeing many of the people who are part of the professional poker tour as well as meeting people who came out the 2005 WSOP with the dream of winning it all and dealing with the consequences afterwards.
Congratulations again to Scott Kargman for making into “the money” in WSOP event #43.
I’m looking forward to being back in Las Vegas next year to be a part of the 2006 World Series of Poker, and hopefully have the time over the next twelve months to participate in some of the other poker events on the professional poker circuit.

Poker used to be just a small side game here. Lately its become huge business. There is talk of several additional poker tournaments.
