Venetian Video Poker Tournament

[jlb9674]

Hi to all.  I just received ( via e-mail ) an invitation from the Venetian to play in their "$25,000 Speed of Light Video Poker Tournament" to be held on August 11 & 12.
 
My wife & I were already going to be in Las Vegas during this time & so this will be my first VP Tournament. Also, you do not have to stay at their property to get in the tournament.
 
Has anyone else received this? If so, I hope to see you in August. I play very little video poker at the Venetian, but I guess I  got this invitation because I do belong to their player's club ( Club Grazie ). 
 
Thanks,  James

Good luck in the tournament and let us know how you do!

I have played in a couple.  Go for the gusto or it will be a waste(that means holding those 2,3,4 when you have two pair and tossing the other pair or any 2+ to the Royal)  All or nothing!!  Good Luck

jlb9674...boy I am cheesed...I got slot tournament offers like 3X a week,  and I don't play slots (ok, video poker).  I wonder why they didn't invite me when, from my Club Grazie card play, know I only play video poker??? Maybe cuz I kicked azzz last time????  I think I have to make a call.  Ok, for all of you that have done a VP contest...strategies??? This is a question I am sure jlb9674 has as well.  I know conservative play is out the door.
