just seeing this now.
new avatar i think.
Vegas is amazing. Why would some Jew go out in to the desert and build a hotel so long ago, is beyond me. I guess the jews like heat (i know I do.) This joint is fucking heaven if i think about it correctly:
Lets see......Where I live the closet poker game is 20 minutes away and it just sucks. The better one is 1.5 hours away. Here? There's about 40 poker games I can go play in all in a 1 mile radius. I can arrive here on a monday and grind for days and the action never stops. And it costs me less than I pay in gas to drive to minneapolis to play limit hold 'em
Other pleasing thoughts? First of all, Drexel has become a good friend now. I figured this would happen as for the last year we've been talking every once in a while and our conversations have always been classic. Druff as well has become a friend, even helping me out huge when I was here (and showing me the WSOP bracelet). He even gave me a ride in his BMW to downtown last night for dinner. (side note: he claims he's never been in an accident over 20mph. I don't know if I believe it.)
Trader was also an amazing dude to meet. Such a nice guy. And he's also pro-as-fuck at the degen life style. I watched him print $400 out of a video poker machine in less than the time it took me to smoke a cigarette.
Leapin' Larry was also a trip to hang out with. another class act. And he has the coolest dog ever.
Speaking of dogs.....
I met Traderrooski's dog, Katie. a sweet one, however, it totally bit my hand a few times. Good thing he doesn't travel with a German Shepard.
All in all, i'm really only down a few hundred cash, plus whatever I put on my credit card. For a week in vegas, making new friends, seeing new things, getting first time 30 minute lap dances when i paid for 15, playing 2 events, getting hammered, I'd say this is not a bad way to spend some money.
at first when I won those rooms, I had planned to just come here, maybe meet Druff, or Drexel and play some cash games.
I've played 30 minutes of a cash game.
I'd say those are plans well put together.
And yes, I am for sure coming back next year. Hell, I may be back in a few months even. it was $150 for a round trip here.
Good thread, trip reports etc
C$ is GOD - quite a guy for shipping stakes like that and giving people a chance, even if its -ev financially; either way great entertainment. I need to try sone of that Wagyu on the stone you guys keep talking about
Drexel is GOD - obv knows how to party in Vegas and show people - even people he's just met, a great time in Vegas, and a very generous and stand-up guy in everything he does. Love the trip reports and pics.
Larry- in all honesty, from the sounds of it, I think you did the best you could with what you had. Looks like you had fun. Good trip reports
I really dont get some of the hate in this thread and others. It sounds like everyone who was staked, followed through and did what they could. I think that's all the stakers could have asked for
Oh, I totally forgot.
A HUGE THANKS TO C$ AND HANDICAPME FOR THE SHOT AT GLORY
We were all happy for larry but after reading 15 pages of a bunch of guys circlejerking a few of us, most notably krypt and marty, got ill and decided to do something about it. I also couldn't help myself. I think it turned out well for all involved. Even larry.
Also, as much as I used to dislike krypt, the guy's probably top five funniest posters on here now.
I might just have to make my first trip to Vegas next year and party with the crew. I don't have the ball and chain anymore so one less thing to hold me back.
unrelated to trip report.
since you guys know what i look like
i guess ill leave this here
and since drexel had a dog pic ill post one as well.
Layla, my bloodhound mix
AND WITH THIS FOLKS THE TRIP REPORT IS OVER. THANK YOU FOR READING. GOOD NIGHT! SAD!
Why do you keep opening the thread titled "Leaving on a Jet Plane: Lost Wages Version: The Laffer WSOP Trip Report" expecting something other than Larry's Vegas Trip Report. It's one thing to make fun of the guy, which is tradition but it's not like the thread is titled "Titties" and you keep getting pics of Larry.
