Ocho

8 more days until we're in Vegas. I'm not sure we can get much more exctied than we already are. Although each day brings us that much closer to being there.

I sure hope we see a final table full of these hats in the Amazon Room, the evening of Monday, June 15th. Go POO!!!!!!!!

I've just finished reading the rules and can let y'all know the following.

• The RIO will make you fill out a tax form if you win in excees of $5,000 more net of buy-in. So when we all cash for $6,500 we all have to fill out those troublesome forms.

• At a televised final table there can be no more than 3 players with the same Logos on their apparel. This could be a huge problem if they decide to televise the Final Table of our event and there are 9 of us at it with our caps and shirts on.
• Your card capper must be no larger than 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch in depth. You may have no food or drinks on the table, except for one capped bottle of water.
• All chips must be visible at all times. Don't put them in your pocket, or you will lose them.
• When they move you from one table to another, you can be placed in the big blind, the small blind or on the button. The only place you can't be moved to is in between the button and the small blind.
• A dealer cannot kill a winning hand that was turned up and was obviously the winning hand. Players are encouraged to assist in reading tabled hands if it appears an error is going to be made.
• Dealers will not count the pot for you. They will spread the pot if you ask them to.
• Cell phones must be on silent mode. if you use your cell phone you must move away from the table or risk penalty.
• Ipods and MP3 players are allowed at the tables until you reach the money. Once in the money no electronic devices are allowed. Also, and Blackberries, Iphones, Treos, or other devices that can be used to access the internet are prohibited, even if being used as an MP3 player.

For some strange reason I keep hearing Carly Simon singing "Anticipation" in the background.
