PokerStars is once again holding their WBCOOP series. They are also giving away some great prizes to some lucky bloggers. So this is my entry and here is what I would do with the $5,000 prize for Best Blogger:
I'd put it in the bank :) Well at least I would at first. I don't think I'd make any big purchases. I pretty much have all the things I need. I could upgrade my computer or buy a bigger TV, but I don't think I would. I should use the money to fix my car, which was a lemon for as long as I've owned it. But I think that would just be throwing the money away.
I guess I'd use some of the money to take a trip somewhere. There are a lot of nice vacation spots, but I guess my first choice would be to go to Las Vegas. Flights and hotels to Vegas aren't that expensive, because I guess they expect you to lose a lot of money there. So I'd stay at one of the nicer hotels, where all the action is. I always wanted to go Las Vegas, but I've never been. Seems like an exciting place. I probably would go during the WSOP this year. Even though I would like to, I'm not sure if I'd play any of the events. I could try to use some of the money to satellite into an event. But the thing is that I'm not really much of a live player, so it probably wouldn't be that great of an idea to buy directly into an event. It would be too risky. Plus I'd be too nervous. I'd just love to see some of the main event being played out, even if wasn't in it. I'd hope to meet my favorite poker pros like Phil Helmuth and Daniel Negreanu. Meeting Liv Boeree and Vicky Coren would be sweet too :) So using the money to go to Las Vegas and relaxing in a nice hotel for a couple of days would be great.
With the rest of the money, I'd play the Sunday Storm every week this year and the Sunday Million at least 4 or 5 times this year. I've played the Sunday Million before, but never got anywhere near close to cashing. I bought in once directly and satellited another time. So getting 5k and getting to play in the Million without having to risk my own money would be awesome. It would hopefully take some of the pressure off. I watch the Sunday Million almost every week and I dream of actually playing and cashing with the hopes of making the final table. I know everyone wants to win the Sunday Million, but I am confident that one day it will happen for me. It has too!!!
So with that I say good luck to everyone playing in this year's WBCOOP. There are 30 tournaments. But as usual, I'm going to be sticking to the No Limit Hold'em ones. One time!!!
