1. Partycrew Las Vegas

PokerStrategist vonki is looking for fellow poker players interested in giving her some company in Las Vegas next summer.

So far hse has already found ten PokerStrategists who are willing to go to Vegas during the WSOP period, and she's thinking of sharing a mansion between them.

If you are also planning to spend your summer abroad, why don't you visit the city of lights in Nevada? If you are curious as to what the gamblers' paradise has to offer, head over to our thread of the week:

2. SSS for BSS players?

Gold member Dublimax is wondering whether it's worth learning SSS as a big stack strategy player. How helpful is it to understand how the short stack strategy works in order to correctly react to your short stack opponents?

The push ranges of an SSS player in steal situations, and 3-betting cases are situations that he considers. What are your thoughts on this topic? Share your opinion with other PokerStrategists in our forum thread:

3. Opal99's MTT master plan

Forum moderator opal99 has set an ambitious goal for himself. Within less than ten months, with a bankroll that only just exceeds $1k, he wants to make his way up to the Sunday Majors. If his plan is successful, he'll have gained plenty of MTT experience by the time he goes to Vegas for the WSOP 2011.
