If you’re in town on Saturday, July 6, make sure to come to the Annual 2+2 Party which is being held at the poker room in the South Point Hotel and Casino. We’ll be showing the movie Bet Raise Fold at 3:00 pm (in the lounge next to the poker room) and then Doors will open (so to speak) at 5:00 pm to the party with a buffet scheduled to be served at 6:00 pm. If you do plan to make it, please let us know in the RSVP thread in our Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum. The thread is located here.

In addition, also in the Las Vegas Lifestyle forum is a thread featuring an offer we have received for all 2+2ers from the Brazilian Steakhouse Pampas located in the Miracle Mile Mall that is attached to the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. This is a terrific offer and the food is quite good – I should know since I’ve been there twice for meals and plan to go again. So, if in you’re in town, this is well worth considering.

Also at this time, the World Series of Poker is going strong in Las Vegas. This means that in addition to the games and tournaments at The Rio where the WSOP is located, there are lots of games and tournaments all over town. For those interested, there is much discussion in the appropriate forums.

Other than that, as in previous years, we at 2+2 hope to see all of you at the party. Feel free to stop by where I’ll be sitting and say hello not only to me, but to all the 2+2 team that makes our website and our publishing company possible. And a special thanks to the South Point Internet poker people and the South Point poker room for having us as their guests and making all of this possible

We have two important pieces of news to report this month. The first is that our annual Two Plus Two Party, which we hold at the beginning of the Main Event at the World Series of Poker every year, will be held at the South Point Hotel & Casino on July 6. We expect to serve a buffet at 6:00 pm, but the official starting time is still not yet finalized because we’re hoping to have a special activity before the buffet. As we know more, we’ll be posting in the RSVP thread and elsewhere on the forum.

There should now be an RSVP thread in our Las Vegas Lifestyle forum. So if you plan to come, and yes you can bring a friend, please let us know in this thread. By the way, for those who don’t know, South Point has a beautiful poker room and after meeting with the South Point people, we’re confident that it will be a terrific party.

Our second piece of news is that our latest book, Applications of No-Limit Hold ‘em: A Guide to Understanding Theoretical Sound Poker by Matthew Janda is now available. We also hope to have an ebook version available around the middle of the month. For those who want to know more about this text, and initial reaction has been quite positive, there are a couple of threads about it on our Books and Publications Forum. Our author, Mathew Janda has been participating, so all questions about Applications of No-Limit Hold ‘em have been getting very good answers.

Finally, for those of you who will be coming to Las Vegas and participating in the World Series of Poker, we at Two Plus Two wish you the best of luck. While I’m not much of a tournament player, I do expect to be playing some, mostly in the evening at The Bellagio. So if you see me, please feel free to say hello.
