The Moment Of Truth Arrives

Tomorrow is the big day!

The reason why I moved out here.

The Opportunity... the test... the dream.

The lesson from my last ladies only tournament is clear: luck must be on our side!

In the main event, each player starts with $20,000 chips. Here, we start with $2,000... 1/10th the amount, yet the structure is the same. What's that mean? The same as it did in Louisville... if we get a good run of best cards, we can position ourselves to make skill a factor.

With the blinds so high compared to the initial chip stack, there's not much room to play anything but premium hands outside the blinds, so for the first day anyway, the strategy is pretty simple: play great cards or fold. There will be no slow-playing; no time for tricks.

Double up, then triple up, the double up again, and do it one more time. That's where I want to be at the end of day one.

With apologies to Tony, Frank, Dean, Bobby... luck be a tranny-lover tomorrow!
