Online Poker

Chris & I arrived in Las Vegas last Friday for some online gaming related meetings and conferences. Despited being jet-lagged for a few days, everything has gone well and the general consensus around the place is that people seem to love Poker.com! I've run into a few people around Vegas that play with us and even got some good tips for the site from a cabbie - Thanks Randy!

We haven't had much of chance to play any poker yet, but stopped by the Bellagio poker room the other night to see Phil Ivey, Johnny Chan and Jennifer Harmon playing in the private 'Bobby's Room'. Chris was playing at Harrah's this afternoon and saw Scotty Nyguen stroll in with a girl on each arm and we saw Daniel Negreanu at the Wynn. There are a few more pros than usual in town for the WSOP circuit event starting at Harrah's tomorrow.

I'm going to play in a tournament tomorrow hopefully, so wish me luck. It won't be the $10k event starting at Harrahs though - we'll just be watching that one! Most likely it will be a smaller buy in at a closeby casino.

One of the funny things about Vegas is the building are all visible from wherever you are, so you think you can walk everywhere at first. But I soon worked out that it's better to pay $5 for a cab than brave the crowds and streetside pamphlet assaults walking 20mins to a casino that 'looked like' it was only a block away.

That's it from Vegas for now - will give a tournament & poker pro sighting report tomorrow.
