WSOP Circuit events are a must to highlight.

Personally, any tours that are hitting North Florida, around Jacksonville or St. Augustine. BestBet would be the poker rooms around there. But I usually look up that information myself anyway.

RunGood Poker Series is a good series to highlight. I played a couple of their games a few years ago when they were in Kansas City. Wish they would come over to the east coast now that I'm over here lol.

Maybe highlight poker cruises and their series? There are a couple of them coming up. I'll be playing on the Ante Up Cruise in October and in their main event. The winner of that tourney will be on Ante Up Magazine's November cover.

I'm going to try to hit the end of the WSOP Circuit when it comes to Harrah's Cherokee North Carolina in December. But that's just a maybe right now.

My original plans were to play in a few of the Cherokee events - but I will be in the UK that week as it turns out. Have you been up there yet?

I have not yet. January was the first time I had ever been to North Carolina actually. Went to Charlotte. Haven't been to Western North Carolina yet. I heard it's beautiful that way. I'm willing to bet that they'll add another Cherokee stop to the WSOPC at the end of the tour in Spring 2025.

They usually have one in Feb, Apr, Aug and Dec.

If the stars align, I might be able to hit another one of those as well.
