I apologize in advance. This post is pure vanity. Feel free to move on without reading this one.
Back in September, I posted about an email poker tournament called the WRGPT (The World rec.gambling.poker Tournament). It’s a very slow poker tourney and it’s for free, but it does attract some poker heavyweights, or at least, it has. Chris Ferguson and Greg Raymer have both played in it in the past. I don’t really know a lot of poker pros, but I understand that there are several in this tournament.
Anyway, I’m posting to brag. Not only am I still alive in the tourney, but I’ve moved up to third place! (That’s the live standings. Click here for an archived version.) Considering that I’ve never played no-limit hold-em against real people before, I’m pretty pleased with myself. Over 1200 people started the tournament and about 285 are left.
I’m looking to win this thing.
