WPBT – Oct / Vegas?

by Bill Rini on June 23, 2005

in Poker, WPBT

Well, that looks like what the voters want. I had a conversation with the Prof about possible locations but he’s a little tied up covering some other rinky-dink tournament going on in Vegas right now. I’ve also had some conversations with unnamed sources about some cool stuff we might be able to pull off for this one. But for right now, the thinking is the weekend of the 8th and 9th of October. That seemed to be a weekend that had minimal conflict with the bloggers. Now we just have to see if we can get everything else arranged around it.

[UPDATE] I may have jumped the gun. I got a couple-o-emails asking if we could open up the voting again but with a request that people actually put in for when they want to do this. The last voting sort of went “Hey October is good for me” with many of the responses being along the lines of “I can do October” or “Anytime.” So the question is: What month would you prefer? The choices are:

October
November
December

Please try to pick a month. “Whenever” and “Anytime” sort of end up being null votes. So do votes like “November but I could do October or December too.”

Good luck and may the best month win!

Ahhh, that’s a terrible time for me. I won’t be able to make it. I have two weddings to go to, one that week and one the week after.

Halloween? I’ll be back in Vegas then.

2 StudioGlyphic 06.24.05 at 1:09 am

Anytime.

Thanks to the fact that I work for an observant Jew, October would be fantastic. I get 7 or 8 holidays in October, which I can easily extend into a long weekend.

October is much, much better than November or December.

I know I’m coming into this conversation late, but…

When do we get an East Coast WPBT event? We have AC close by, and while it’s not as lavish as Vegas, it’s still fun. It looks like we’re having our yearly party on the weekend of Sept. 24th, there’s a WPT tournament at the Borgata, and Al’s looking to set up all kinds of events for people.

Just something to think about… hehehe

5 Jaxia 06.24.05 at 9:56 am

The weekend of Oct 21st – 24th.

6 gracie 06.24.05 at 11:41 am

Like Glyphic said, anytime!

7 Chad 06.24.05 at 11:57 am

Anytime.

8 Joe Speaker 06.24.05 at 1:59 pm

I think October is the best month as it’s away from the holiday season. Also, Festa al Lago runs 8-21 that month. Satelittes, baby!

Also, not that the event should hinge on my being able to make it or anything, but my 20-year HS Reunion is Oct. 21-23, so that weekend is OUT!

9 April 06.24.05 at 2:44 pm

October

10 AlCantHang 06.24.05 at 5:43 pm

The later the better for me. I’d say December.

11 alan 06.24.05 at 6:10 pm

October, but the other two are fine as well.

…and I can’t read this damn security code.

12 CJ 06.24.05 at 6:24 pm

Hmmmmm… NOT November. Is that kind of vote allowed? Put a half vote each on October and December. Hmmm… or a quarter vote on October and a 3/4 vote on December.

13 CJ 06.24.05 at 6:25 pm

Check that… if it’s not November, I’m in… whatever the hell you decide to do :-)

14 April H. 06.25.05 at 2:56 am

I can probably make any weekend work but November or December would be better as I will be needed at work in October. I’ll go with December as my vote.

15 Easycure 06.25.05 at 8:55 am

Mid-to-Late October is best for me, but as I may have said before:

Bill, find out who the “core” group is, make sure you pick a weekend they can (mostly) be there and the rest of us (non-core) people will show up best we can. You’re not going to be able to please 75 people (or more) 100% of the time.

16 G-Rob 06.25.05 at 9:59 pm

November will eliminate CJ and I, its a ratings period for the TV types.

October is best. The weekend you suggest…of the 7th…is my birthday…not bad at all.

17 ScurvyDog 06.26.05 at 9:01 am

Weekend of October 7 is best for me. October in general is best.

18 Pauly 06.26.05 at 8:46 pm

December. Derek and I always go to Vegas in December.

I have to be in Vegas to cover the Bellagio event in December and due to other obligations, I can’t make it in October (unless it’s in Halloween). November is bad for me too b/c of World Poker Finals at Foxwoods and the WPT event there.

19 Drizztdj 06.27.05 at 11:20 am

Decemeber for me. Still praying my losing streak will end soon.

20 Bill 06.27.05 at 11:54 am

BG asked me to put him down for Dec.
