Introduction, purpose, and reasoning for this blog

Oh hi! The idea to create this blog was just suggested to me by my friend Shaun (Cougars4444), so let's first give props to him. He's coming out for the World Series of Poker (as are a number of new aquaintences and friends are this year) and will be starting a blog on his Vegas summer experience as a player. His thought was that it would be a good idea for me to start a blog since I'll be dealing the 2008 World Series of Poker. Many people will be blogging and discussing their experiences as players, so I'll give some insight as to what dealing the Series is like.

I'll also include other stories which will prove to be worth the read. When you know people such as Clay (LVPokerDealer) Gongora, MichaelB, Chris (NechitaCC), Mike (macleod51) Macleod, Kevin (BeLoWaB0Ve) Saul, Steve (gboro780) Gross, Dan (Wretchy) Martin, Chaz, Shaun (Cougars4444), Eric (ess286), Greg (Sicktight311), just to name a few....and will be partying with them over the course of the summer....you're definitely subject to some crazy stories.

I deal poker at 2 different places on the Strip. In addition to dealing the Series, I'll also be dealing at one of my regular jobs. This is the poker room at Treasure Island and it is the best job I have ever had aside from writing bail bonds which I am currently in the process of getting licensed for out here. I've had many people ask me about dealing poker and after reading my blog over the next 6 weeks, many of those that have contacted me will get a better idea as to what it is like to deal on a daily basis.

That's all for now...I'll be dealing tonight at TI from 2am until ? and then starting over at the Series dealing satellites tomorrow night from 8pm-3am and then straight back to TI until the games die out.

Enjoy the blog!
