WSOP Main Event? 😀


I’ll probably be there from the 15th to the 30th of June. If cash goes good I’ll fire a couple of daily deepstacks but no bracelet events.


Yeah I am looking at playing the main.

I know the dates don't cover until the end of the main but if I am running super deep I can extend for sure.

Looks like I’ll be there for the last couple of days of your trip. In case I don’t run like absolutely garbage again we can try the $ sale again haha.

Yeah let's. Although I am finding it very hard to change this USD back into GBP at the moment thanks to AML

Yeah, I guess for cash game (and video poker) specialists, big tournaments like the Main are not a very efficient use of your time.

Is there a lot of slippage to convert cash into bitcoin? I know almost nothing about it. How long does a transaction take?

Well the place I want to change the $ to £ from are trying to tell me the handpay slips from the casino are not a valid source of funds. Although they had no problems with it in November.

So at the moment we are at a stand off because there is no other way to prove where I got the money from. If they continue to be awkward about it I will just keep the dollars for my next trip.

Why not just do that anyway? Makes a ton of sense unless you really need the fund - otherwise you’re paying 2x vig over 3 months

Yeah maybe not thinking straight. However I usually with big wins add funds to my daughter's physio pot.

Long story short she needs weekly physio for life and it costs alot. Normally my rake of big wins is contributing more into this pot.


So if you had won it just in live poker, you would have no proof either. Those actual pros must have some way to "launder" their winnings...

Yeah I think they are just being awkward on purpose and I don't know why. My luck with financial institutions sucks at the moment. Muckpls was witness to some of this haha.

Just going to do what feels wrath has suggested and keep the money.

As a treat to myself I have booked 1st May for 4 nights so going to do another solo trip.

Nice! I'm going in May too, although more towards the middle. If I were there at the same time, I'd beg you for bubble craps lessons.

Getting rid of dollars should be easier in the middle of the WSOP because there will be people coming in. Post notices in the Tournament Events forum.

Oh yeah I am sure there will be enough Brits needing dollars 🤣

Maybe I need to try and record some of these sessions.

That would be great. They shouldn't bug you about it if you only show your screen. Maybe you can send a copy to the bank.


What a trip! Congrats on the score and the fun had with your family!
