PokerStars Lobby

<p>No, this won't be any sort of return to regular PokerStars Lobby I'm sorry to say, but I have received enough gently-prodding emails asking how things have turned out for me since my last post that I think there's enough of an audience to make an update worthwhile. But I caution in advance that this post probably will probably raise more questions than answers; i.e. I don't think it's going to provide any sort of &quot;closure&quot;, at least not in the same way that the last few posts I made before ending the PokerStars Lobby. It will be more of a &quot;where-are-they-now&quot; update to give people a glimpse into what I've been up to for the past little while. If you are just discovering this blog for the first time, well it was regularly updated for approximately 3 years, until I decided to stop writing in early 2007, but the archives are (in my hardly-impartial opinion) a treasure-trove just sitting around waiting to be read, and I hope you'll find them worth your time.

<p>Much has happened in 12 months. Where to begin...hmmm. Well, let's talk PokerStars Lobby, specifically the 2007 WSOP. I left for PokerStars Lobby with what I thought were realistic goals:
(i) Play as well as you're able;
(ii) have fun.

<p>That's it. I'm not a PokerStars Lobby player, and I know it. But I figured that with my life being one big question mark, who knew when the next time was that I was going to be able to simply take a 3-week trip to Vegas in the middle of the summer, so I set out for the desert looking for a good time. First WSOP tourney I played in was one of the truly memorable experiences of my life. 900 entrants and I made the final table, and enjoyed 5 minutes of fame on PokerStars Lobby. Instead of trying to rehash the entire rollercoaster from memory, I've dug up the email that I wrote to friends/family after the first-day of play, and I'm re-copying it here. It's extremely long, but hey, if you've got nothing better to do, give it a read if you want a first-hand account of what it's like to run hot in your first WSOP event ever. If you don't give a hoot about this, skip it and resume reading below.
