Trip Report

I would like to say THANKS to Goldie and Poker Stars for a wonderful experience and to the Taj for a taking care of all of us.
Everyone in ATLARGE Thanks for giving me the opportunity to play in your tournament and join a group of great fun and excitement.
I have been to Atlantic City plenty of times but was never involved in Poker at all. Never even walked into the poker room for that matter, didn't interest me. Then about a year ago got invited to play in a home game, enjoyed it and started playing in local games all the time and never experienced the huge tournaments like this weekend. I was so excited to take 13th in the NL Texas Hold'em tournament at the Borgata on Friday which was an experience in itself $100+20 buy in and then all the rebuys an add ons, that was pretty scary for me but enjoyed and learned that I don't like the rebuy at all. I saw a guy buy in 9 times and still didn't make it to the final table, YIKES.....Not for me. I would like to say though I really enjoy poker and am very pleased with my 3rd place finish in the NLHE on Saturday, I just cant believe I even made it that far.
Uncle Al great thanks to you also for the coaching and pointers that you gave me, I couldn't have done it without you...I came into this thing thinking I have no chance I know very little about poker and I don't know the rules, odds and all the percentages, literally nothing but to play and have fun as long as I was having fun it was money well spent. Uncle Al you really helped me examine the hands and play the best possible plays that I could. THANKS AGAIN.
"Now we have to get her into shape for the WSOP double shoot out...." What is this?
Welp thanks for the wonderful experience and look forward to seeing all of you again next year.
