I started to learn the poker game, when Daniel Craig plays it on its movie Casino Royale last 2006. Out of curiosity I played it when Lady Gaga visit the country last 2012, with a hit theme song called poker face. As I watched Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Ivey and Dwan do the bluff n drama. The game were becoming more exciting than it was.  

If you won or entered to the final table in some small event tournament. You may always upgrade of level up to the next level from various places and tour around the world. But one of the speaker at Solaire told us that don't quite your job or business. Instead do it passionately with control.

Until the urged of getting into the main event like the WSOP or WPT was quite a dream. Not as a gambler, but as a competitive skilled sport player poker mind setting pro. Just like chess, games of the generals, dama or any mind setting board game. The goal is to be the best, outperform then survival of the fittest. 

The last MGM Grand Sanya event in China shared nearly $1.4 million with 882 players. But this January 2-8, 2016 Solaire will host the WPT National Main Event with $1650 buy in. They also have free roller daily every 2pm until it reach the season. Qualifying warm up game for the main event, a good starter for newbie.
