[…] I entered the poker tournament because I thought it would be a great networking event (which it was). Sometimes it’s tough to find a common ground to meet new people at conferences. Everyone migrates to their respective cliques, making it tough. Of course, the Friday Pubcon event is great for that, but I wasn’t able to stay for that, thus the Poker tourney for sure. […]

It was my pleasure Sean. I told myself (before I even started) that if I won anything, I’d donate some of it to Patricia. Maybe that had something to do with me winning (divine intervention)? I’m glad I was able to do it.

Camp Pendleton? Years ago, I was stationed in Long Beach. Not too far away, although I was a squid, not a jarhead.

Dan,

I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your donation to the Gibbons family. Glen was a great guy. We got the word of his passing while we were in the midst of the fires. I will make sure the his widow, Patricia, hears about what you did for her. Merry Christmas Dan and on behalf of all of us at the Camp Pendleton Fire Department. THANK YOU!

Congrats man.

Classy move on the tip and extra donation.

Hope the rest of the show was as good for you as the tourney.

Dan, you kicked butt! Very, very, very well done. I am so grateful that you donated the money to the firefighters wife. I am sure she will send her great thanks after she receives it. I think that money will actually go a long way for her, because as of the last I heard, the city was not paying her, her husbands pension because he had another year or so until retirement age.

Shoemoney is an excellent individual, and as you know is very well known. It added a great story that you took him in the finals after he had amassed so many chips. Good job to both of your for creating a little drama!

Congratulations on a tournament well played!
Enjoy the burritos!
And I trust we sill see you back next year to defend your title?

Also, I would love if you could write up your experience as a player from your end, especially about how you played, your strategy, stories of what happened, and descriptions of others for my site. I am going to put together players pages with all the data I can get!
