PokerStars VIP dinner
This past Tuesday night I had dinner with a PokerStars representative, Rich, and 5 other online players who were invited. We ended up eating at Hy's Steakhouse in downtown Winnipeg and the food was awesome! I had also went to that restaurant a few weeks prior with my girlfriend.
It was a really fun dinner and Rich was extremely friendly. We were encouraged to provide suggestions in regards to how PS could improve our online poker experience. I had a few ideas so I brought those up to Rich and he was very interested in what I had to say.
I think it was pretty cool PokerStars did this as it was a very expensive dinner (probably around $100 per plate) and really nice to actually meet someone from Stars in person. I'm extremely proud and happy to have decided to play on PokerStars primarily in 2011 and they are without a doubt the best online poker site in the world.
Unfortunately, I lost the poker hand for Winnipeg Jets NHL tickets!!! We were all dealt a hand, then we all went all-in and the board was dealt... I was dealt T6o. I flopped bottom pair but ended up losing to a King high flush! What a beat, haha. I'm sure I'll scrape up some Jets tickets anyways as I'd really like to see a game or two at least.
Like I mentioned before my girlfriend, Liz, came up to Winnipeg to visit me for about a week. She was up here at the end of September. We took a lot of great pictures but most of them are on the camera she brought back to the states so I'll have to post the pictures when she sends them to me.
I have 70k VPPs left to go until I hit SNE! I am shooting to be a SNE before the month of October is finished. It will be nice to get that $20k bonus once I hit it.
