thanks, all
i feel really good,
and somehow really feel at my core everything is gonna be just fine
not nervous,
somehow,
in 2005, i managed to win a seat in the 'world series of poker', main event, (no-limit texas hold'em)
which is a $10,000 entry, all from a $25 local charity poker tournament, which i eventually won, (beating 81 other folks)
the world series was LIGHT YEARS beyond anything in which i had ever competed before.
somehow, i only felt nervous for about 5 minutes at breakfast, the morning of my first day of play.
alas, i was unfortunately knocked out after 11.5 hours of play,
however i had two name-brand pro's (hoyt corkins, and one of the asian pro's : minh something-or-other) at my table the WHOLE DAY, as well as teh eventual 14th place finisher (out of about 6,000 entrants)
anyways,
time for a few winks, then up b4 the sun to raleigh
we had intended to leave tonight, but life got in the way,
no worries,
more later
aces,
jesse
