Below are the events of which I have interest.
Note that I am only listing the starting days.
May 30th: $1500 Limit O8
May 30th-June 2: $500 Big 50 (will only fire one bullet, rake free, if I play this one)
June 6: $10,000 Limit O8
June 7-8: $1500 Millionaire Maker NL Holdem
June 9: $1000 NL Holdem Double Stack
June 14-15: $1000 NL Holdem Double Stack (not sure how this differs from the one above)
June 17th: $1500 PLO
June 19th: $1500 NL Holdem Bounty ($500 bounty per player knocked out)
June 21-22: $1500 Monster Stack NL Holdem
June 25: $1500 PLO8
June 27: $1500 Mixed Omaha (O8/PLO8/Big O)
June 28: $10,000 PLO8
June 29: $1500 Limit Holdem
June 28-30: $888 Crazy Eights NL Holdem (8 handed)
July 2: $10,000 Limit Holdem
July 3-5: $10,000 Main Event
July 8: $3,000 Limit Holdem
July 11: $1500 NL Holdem Double Stack
I still don't understand why they place the $3k Limit Holdem after the Main. It got a crap field last year for that reason (and I ran super-bad... nice combo!)
Anyway, I wanted to try the $10k PLO8, but it conflicts with the $1500 Limit Holdem (an event I refuse to miss), so forget that one.
The first week is kind of annoying, as I really want to play the $1500 Limit O8 (I cashed 59th out of like 1100+ entrants in my second-time-ever playing it, in 2018), but then there's nothing I want to play for the next week, except for "The Big 50", which honestly I could take or leave.
Then there's the $10k Limit O8 (which I'd like to play again -- I had an insanely soft starting table in 2018, but didn't run well enough to capitalize on it), but aside from the Millionaire Maker and some Double Stacks (which seem to be several times in the WSOP), I don't see much I want to play.
The Monster Stack is in a bad spot on the schedule for me, as usual.
I'll definitely be playing starting June 25, with the $1500 PLO8, $1500 Mixed Omaha, and $1500 Limit Holdem over a 5-day period. Then the $10k Limit Holdem is the day before the Main on July 2, but that's ok because I never play flight A anyway. And I'll be playing the Main again, along with the $3k Limit Holdem, unless I'm still in the Main.
Soooo....
Here's a preliminary "likely" schedule, which is subject to change:
Trip #1
May 30th: $1500 Limit O8
May 31st-June 2: $500 Big 50 (one bullet, starting day based upon how far I get in O8 on May 30)
Trip #2
June 6: $10,000 Limit O8
June 7-8: $1500 Millionaire Maker NL Holdem (starting day based upon how far I get in O8 on June 6)
June 9: $1000 NL Holdem Double Stack (will only play if I fail to make Day 2 of Millionaire Maker)
Trip #3
June 25: $1500 PLO8
June 27: $1500 Mixed Omaha (O8/PLO8/Big O) -- will play two bullets if necessary
June 29: $1500 Limit Holdem
June 30: $888 Crazy Eights NL Holdem (will only play if I fail to make Day 2 of $1500 Limit Holdem)
July 2: $10,000 Limit Holdem
July 3-5: $10,000 Main Event
July 8: $3,000 Limit Holdem
I will again sell packages this year.
There will be two packages:
Package #1 will contain all events $1k-$3k, at my usual 1.2 markup
Package #2 will contain the $10k Limit Holdem and $10k O8, at a discounted 1.1 markup
I will NOT be selling the Main Event or the $500 Big 50.
As usual, I will be selling 40% of my action, and keeping 60% for myself, in the two packages I am offering.
I will announce when these packages go on sale.
This is a preliminary schedule, and may change.
