If everyone hasn't seen by now, our own "jslavi01" won our private WSOP freeroll at Bodog and will be competing in the Main Event. Congratulations! I've been talking with him via e-mail and he's gearing up for the trip in just a few weeks. I plan to post a full interview with him shortly and he's been very gracious about giving us all a trip report when he gets home. Hopefully, we'll be able to watch it for ourselves on ESPN.
As a reminder, he qualified for the event simply by signing up at Bodog through beatthefish.com and playing at the site. If you want an opportunity to do what Joe just did, check our schedule at http://www.beatthefish.com/private-freerolls.html for more chances at a free WSOP seat.
Let this serve as the official thread for any questions/updates on this topic.
A little under two years ago I saw an ad on eBay (EDITED BY ADMIN) and I thought to myself..."Best deal ever."
When i raised the blinds at 10NL and people folded I was like, "Wow, this theory, when put into practice, really works. I can make money doing this."
Two years later, thousands of hours online, a couple hundred dollar swings, and a few books later, I'm going to the WSOP Main Event courtesy of those same two sites to compete with the likes of "Action" Dan Harrington.
I'm honored and humbled by this opportunity.
More to come, and specifically how, in a few in a key moments, BTF was responsible for my growth as a winning poker player.
