WPBT Winter Classic Updates

by Bill Rini on September 29, 2005

in Poker, WPBT

First off, a few folks have emailed me to let me know that Bob hasn’t gotten back to them yet about room reservations. I’ve emailed him and put in a phone call to him. He wasn’t working the day I called but I’ll keep pinging him until he gets back with everybody.

In the meantime, I thought I would just post an update on the in/out/maybe lists.

So far we’ve got 41 people confirmed and I’ve got a bunch of maybe’s and other misc responses I didn’t know where to file so expect the list to grow. Things are looking like we’ll be able to do about 60+ or so bloggers (and non-bloggers) for the tournament which is about what we had at the Aladdin Classic and a few notches above what we had at the first Winter Classic.

For details on the WPBT Winter Classic, including information about room reservations, see this previous post.

I see a certain metrosexual blogger’s name isn’t on the list…

Very disconcerning.

I’m not going to say for certain that I’ll be there, but the chances have risen from about 5% to around 25%. If it becomes obvious I’m coing, I’ll let you know.

Jason:

Any increase in your chances of coming is a good thing!

4 Bill September 30, 2005 at 3:29 am

Drizz,

The metrosexual has confirmed. Bring your man-purse.

5 Obie September 30, 2005 at 8:20 am

Please count me in for the WPBT Winter Classic.

6 Falstaff September 30, 2005 at 1:40 pm

Put me down as on the fence – I’m about 60%.

7 Felicia September 30, 2005 at 11:23 pm

No.Way.In.Hell.

Sorry, but I’m never, ever going to pay 30% juice on a tourney unless they get a hooker to give me a blow job while they’re at it.

I might come to town, hang around, if I feel well enough after the poker cruise.

8 on_thg October 2, 2005 at 7:46 pm

I’m in.

9 Drizztdj October 3, 2005 at 11:39 am

Anyone know the best way to bring a case of beer to Vegas?

Should I mail it to the hotel?

10 columbo October 4, 2005 at 10:36 am

Please add me to the 50% list. I may be 100% by Sunday.

11 BG October 5, 2005 at 12:13 pm

100% booked

12 Joanne October 28, 2005 at 2:45 am

I am no longer on the fence – count me in please. Thanks
