The big weekend is just about here. The Main Event of the Pokerstars SCOOP is right around the corner. I gotta admit that I am extremely excited about this tournament. I don’t know why but enthusiasm has got to be a good thing. Right? Anyhow, there are likely to be at least ten-thousand entries in this tournament if it isn’t maxed out. Those are some lofty numbers but I have fared well in these kinds of tourneys in the past. I figure First Prize has got to be worth around 200k+. That is one heck of a pay day and certainly worth the two days of effort to win it.

The other reason I am excited is because the Super Satellites for the Heartland Poker tour begin next week on April 10th. I have budgeted for at least two shots at this thing to win a seat in the $1500 Main Event. They are paying the top 10% in the satellite so I figure that will be about 30 entries. Not a bad deal for the $130 buy-in. The structure is pretty good too so I will be getting plenty of play. Of course I will keep you posted as to how I do in both of these tourneys as they progress.

Take care!
