Tonight I head back to Vegas to continue my slew of events at the 2008 World Series of Poker. For this second leg, there’s a cool new way to get updates on my status for those who are interested. Go <a href=”http://www.ftsweat.com”><span style=”font-weight:bold;”>here</span></a> and create an account. Then after you’ve done that, sign up for the Stoxpoker channel <a href=”http://www.ftsweat.com/channel/teamstoxpoker”><span style=”font-weight:bold;”>here</span></a>. I’ll be sending text message updates during every break and you can get them on your phone, in your email, or you can just read them on the web site. Basically, you can get as many or as few updates as you want. And of course, if once-per-tournament updates are enough for you, I’ll still be doing my usual WSOP blogging in this space.

Here’s a quick note from WSOP Leg One. During the $2k Limit Hold ‘Em event, I logged quite a few hands with eventual champion Daniel Negreanu. (I also logged quite a few hands with David Singer in the Pot Limit event he won, so it feels as though I’m getting closer and closer! Heh.) Daniel was on my left most of the time (lovely, I know), and when I raised his big blind from the small blind he commented in all seriousness that he didn’t like that play very much, preferring instead to open-limp from the small blind with most hands in Limit Hold ‘Em, assuming a good player in the big blind. Discuss.

And wish me luck in Leg Two.
