Got a call from Jack!
Hes sitting in his room, waiting on room servce and strategizing in his head :Yep:
He seemed very pumped and I asked him if he had any music going to get him going....he said no, just the depressing news, LOL!
He is optimistic about his chances but said he knows hes a long shot to make it through the day. He has figured he can not play a single hand the first 2 hours and still be sitting with 10,000!! So that motivates him. He also understands even a 3,000 stab at a pot is damaging to the other players as no huge stacks at his table. His goal for today is 65,000!
He figures they will play till 3am.
He is in seat 6, facing directly towards the crowd, right on the rail. He figures to be staring right at a crowd that will be 10 deep. He was worried about that being a distraction, and bought some brand new extra dark Oakleys. Jack isnt the sunglasses type, but he wants to be able to look where he wants and be obscured. I think that is a good move on his part.
He will start at around 3:00 EST, I have to go to the funeral home at 4, Jack will be calling at 5 to leave me a message and I will update around 5:30 when I get home.
MJ, MJ, MJ...OY OY OY!! :mj07:

Any chance on starting a new thread for each day of Jack's poker exploits?
Very interested in following him, and would make it easier if Day 2 - Tuesday would have it's own thread...
Not a big deal, just an idea.
