It has come to my attention that a couple of you have tried to get through to me either by text message or using twitter, without success. I think that I need to be following your twitter account for a tweet from you to show up in my timeline. If you want me to follow your twitter account, send me an email message or text (see below) or leave a comment here.

My regular cell number won’t take text messages - if you want to send me a text message you need to send it to my google voice number. I don’t want to put the number in plain text here, but it’s the normal area code for Seattle, followed by the words JOY-TAXI (look on a phone keypad to figure out the numbers).

Yes, I’m up at 6:30AM. No, it’s not nerves over going back for day 2. Actually I wish it were just nerves - I woke up yesterday with a sore throat and I was hoping it was just Vegas dry air getting to me, but today the sore throat is back and I clearly have a head cold to go with it, and I’m having trouble sleeping. I can get them to bring me tea and honey at the table - if you have any great cold-symptom-reduction ideas for me, send them my way. I’ll try to get a little more sleep before meeting Team Huge for the old $4.99 breakfast of champions at TGIF at the Gold Coast.

Speaking of Team Huge, they’ve been making great runs in tournaments so far, with Dan and Deb coming close to the money, Pete with one min-cash, and Maya hitting her (by far) best cash ever for $1700 at the nightly Caesars $80 tournament. So proud of my Hugettes!!!

As usual, you can get my updates on Twitter.com (@hugepoker),

or the poker news live updates (click on the Day 2a tab if it doesn’t take you there automatically).

There’s also the pokerstars blog

I got my table assignments, and was amused to see a guy I know on my left for today, and Avery Cardoza (old time poker publisher & author) also will be at my table - will have to wait and see if that turns out to be good or bad news.
