Let me start out by saying the airlines have deteriorated so rapidly that in 2 years when I return will have be be a cross country trek. I remember when flying was fun and pampered, now it is a contest to see how many people you can cram in. Our flight was delayed due to old ass airplane problems and the turbulence was horrific. Feck.
Between events and deepstack dailys we played poker day and night.
Things I notice different this year. There are so many more foreigners. I feel less US involvement directly related to black Friday aftermath. Dear foreigners please use deodorant while here in the US. I shouldn't have to smell your pungent skunk underarms for hours on end. Feck.
Foreigners on cash tables very loud and aggressive to fellow table members. Seriously hilarious to watch grown men with schoolboy mentalities. Entertaining for about 3 seconds then gotta say take it outside aholes. This is my vacation.
I have improved since last year and was happy to bag the chips at end of day. Details beyond will stay hidden. I am still stunned at the lengths Druff will take over long periods of time to discover who someone is.
I was not as enamored with seeing pros in person. We got a few pics for our poker room but as with anything not as thrilling as the first time. I think Fricke has a thyroid problem and if someone will pass onto him to see a doc and ask for a TSH level that would be good. Negreanu was very sweet even extending break time once play had started to accomate fans. Hellmuth on the other hand marches by people swiftly with his nose in the air. Our friend got him to stop for a pic but shit that is his hero and he practically had to suck him off to get one.
Why isn't hash house a gogo open 24/7 during WSOP. Please fix.
My boyfriend found a large heavy piece jewelry on ground. Imprint 18k zales. I was like chaching but once home found out was a very good fake. Poop.
Split is definitely feeling her age this year. The miles and miles of walking definitely wore me out. Next WSOP will be staying at the RIO.
Good time will do again.
Love, Split.
