Live the dream
When you play poker and dream of playing on TV and winning a title and bucket-load of money, you ultimately dream of the World Series of Poker. Don't look now, but the summer's version is right around the corner.
To get there, you basically have to do one of two things: Take your own bucket-load of money to Vegas, or win a satellite seat, whether brick and mortar or online.
Everyone want's to sit down next to Doyle Brunson or Johnny Chan at the Main Event, but I'd settle for almost any no limit hold 'em tournament at the WSOP. (I would not waste my money on any other game, where I would be such an underdog, the chances would be better for the Golden State Warriors to beat the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Wait ... scratch that.)
But, I do dream of playing in the Main Event. And, for me, the only way to get there would be through a satellite, more than likely an online satellite. They're everywhere ... Full Tilt, Poker Stars, Bodog, Absolute Poker, etc. Personally, I will try this spring through Full Tilt, only because of the free rolls.
Those free rolls usually include 315 players. Only one moves on, and that's to another satellite. It would be nothing short of miraculous to win a seat to the Main Event through this route, but right now, it's the best option I have.
So, I'll keep toiling, playing the free rolls at Full Tilt and hoping for a miracle. I'd love nothing more than have July come and find myself saying, "Hello Gus Hansen. I'm one of your biggest fans."
