The World Poker Association is holding its first-ever conference on May 28 in Law Vegas, just before the start of this year’s World Series of Poker.

The WPA has made its mission “to promote poker as a sport by advocating professionalism and uniform rules and standards of conduct, and by helping to create increased economic opportunities for players,” according to its Web site.

According to Bluff Magazine:

The conference will open with the first-even WPA membership meeting where the slate will include the election of Directors of the WPA for the new membership year, which begins June 1. Nominees include Adams, Michael Binger, Doyle Brunson, Joe Hachem, Jesse Jones, Thomas Kremser, J.J. Liu, Victor Ramdin, Blair Rodman, Roger Saad, Harry Thomas Jr. and Roy Winston.

“The conference is a winning trifecta ticket, allowing members to sharpen their tournament skills, network at the must-be-seen opening cocktail party, May 28 and then prove their bragging rights in the WPA Mega Satellite, May 29,” said WPA Chairman Wendeen H. Eolis.

The conference will also include a panel led by Mike Caro called “63 Money Making Tips to Win a Bundle at the WSOP”.

You have a good amount of history with the raiser. He is a very active three bettor and seems to have your number in recent sessions. He is very aggressive against your preflop raises, especially if there's a squeeze opportunity. He's also a pretty steady continuation bettor.

You flop about as dry as can be:
