What a week!!!!!

First, Saturday night I had my big poker tournament where I gave away a trip for two to Vegas, and a $1,000 buy-in towards a play-in tournament for the main event for the W.S.O.P. I took a personal day to be there early to get everything set up by the 6:00 start time. I got the tournament going and about 30 minutes into it, this guy comes in looking for me. He tells me that he's a writer for St. Louis Magazine and he's doing a story about poker and wants to interview me. We talk for about 20 minutes and he shoots a bunch of pictures and tells me that the story should be in the June issue. If I don't take the day off from work, I don't get there till about 8:00, and the guy is long gone.

This could be the huge, huge, huge break I need to really get the word about my tournaments. Right now I have at least one venue every day and more locations than Nationwide Poker here in town. The only thing I don't have are the player counts that they do. With this article, I hope that it will double the number of players I have at each game.

Next, when I was down at the ballpark for opening day, I was interviewed by Channel 5 while I eas in line for the First Pitch tickets they sold at 9:00 AM. My phone rang off the hook with everybody calling me and saying they saw me. Later on in the day, KMOX radio had me on the air talking about the ticket selling being legal now in Missouri.

Still have two days left in the week. I wonder what will happen next.

Not bad, Ray!

Is that St. Louis Magazine online? We'll want to read the story when it's published!

They do have online content. I don't see very many pictures though. He took about 25 to 30 shots of me and some of the table action, so one may make it on-line.

Here's the link to the current issue.
