    Splitthis WSOP trip report

    To preface, I have not been to Vegas for quite a few years due to raising kid, divorce blah blah blah. I remember Vegas as much more vibrant back then, most likely due to the economy tanking.

    Kudos to how organized the events were. Registering, finding where to go was a piece of cake.

    I played a 1k event, will say 3k chips even at 25/25 blinds for an hour just doesnt seem to be a good bang for my buck. I enjoyed the daily deepstack tournament much more.

    I lasted most of day one, the cards weren't flowing my way. It's hard to bluff with a barage of 83 os. My table played surprisingly well with a fun range of personalities. There was some dealer drama when they changed tables and I told them hey players are supposed to fight, not the dealers.

    Poker icons I did run into were.....

    Barry Greenstein, he is very thin and frail in person, I hope he isnt ill.

    Greg Raymer, looks much better in person than on tv.

    Doyle Brunson, a fast sob on his scooter, still was cool to see him whiz by.

    Esfandiari, his girlfriend is hot.

    Gus Hansen, I thought he would be a mean standoffish personality, but he was very sweet and accomodating.

    Gavin Smith is exactly like he portrays himself on tv.

    Jennicide, more hot in person than in playboy.

    Jen Harmon, much better looking in person.

    There were some others I recognized from tv but could not remember their names.

    Fat young jewish looking kid

    Foreign bald tall dude.

    Others that escape my memory.

    If I every play again, it would have to be the main event where you have more chips to work with.

    We ventured out to the M Casino. I really liked that place as a getaway from the strip hustle and bustle. Yum Yum breakfast buffet.

    We still had a great time and blew alot of dough. Saw Criss Angel as the obigatory show, just expected him to be more dark and edgy than he was.

    I know it couldn't have been me because of the "young" part.

    Good report, though.

    The 1k events suck. I stopped playing them.

    Gus Hansen hits on everything that moves and expects that most will react positively because he's Gus Hansen. He doesn't just go after the hot ones, either.

    Jennicide has always been a pretty girl. The criticisms of her looks over the years weren't warranted. I didn't feel she looked her best in Playboy.

    I thought Raymer looked really fat when I saw him this year -- moreso than last year.

    Not so much anymore. I'm not sure why for alot of years I had 2 inch long hairs growing along the periphery of my areolas. They don't do that anymore.

    As far as racism goes. I think everyone in my generation is more comfortable with others like themselves. My job has made me more tolerant, seeing there are good and bad in all races. My next project is to take pics of some really fucked up places in Cleveland for your viewing pleasure. I am never afraid to be anywhere in the worst of neighborhoods. I feel my goal was to get my kid grown and pay for her college and I have done that. This is bonus time. Currently downsizing my home to a ranch with a full banging pokerroom basement. We have many poker parties and have a great time throwing them.

    I guess I am somewhat mellowing in time. Being happy probably a big factor in that.

    We played a tournament at Mandalay Bay late one evening. Close to tournament start a very old man with a portable scooter comes in with a very young and very hot Thai girl. I mean she was drop dead gorgeous. My boyfriend and I immediately assumed she was a paid escort. She was very attentive to him. He played at our table and she played cash. During the tournament we learned that was his wife he met in Thailand. They have a child. Though she married him to get out of Thailand for a better life, you could see they both benefit from their relationship. I could not help but wonder if it was Marty's Dad.
