    No not at all rattled, more motivated by it all and I know I can win there now. Its normal big field MTT variance. I don't want this to sound the wrong way but, I am not overly moved by poker players at all. I don't really look up to them or think they have superhuman powers. Its just a 52 card deck divided by 4 suits, 13 per. Add a little deductive reasoning and psychology, and anyone who has put enough study/work/time as I have, can and will win. Just need proper volume.

    I thought it was awesome that Drexel walked me up to Bobbys Room to show me, and ironically at the same time Johnny Chan walks out and looked right at me. I saw it, but I didn't say hi, i didn't kiss his ass because I play poker, I don't kiss poker players asses. Even though its probably better to do that, and thats how most players these days are getting staked, I just kept it real and my head high. Looked at him, nodded I knew who he was, he smiled back and that was that. Even tho nothing was said, that was a really cool experience for me (thank you Brandon) but I am not a fanboy I want to play the game not be a fanboy.

    I don't honestly do drugs except sometimes by myself to relax smoke some marijuana. After I busted out, I went to the front bar of the Rio and had a Corona and then got a cab. Later that night I went back to ellis island and another place and did get a good buzz on, went back to hotel and slept.

    Bankrolled plane tickets, the ticket out there was a leftover credit from a generous person I met on SealsWithClubs that would always like to remain anonymous. It was a leftover credit from back in September 2014. I paid for the return with money form a job I worked the week before. So it was the right time, in a lot of ways.

    Hotel room I payed for and just stayed at a cheap hotel.

      Drexel: Was a absolute pleasure meeting you!
      
      FRANKRIZZO: You honestly did misplay the hand. Should have shoved the 2 pair on the flop though results would have been same. Good that you didn't kiss Johnnys ass, didn't you make an ass of yourself saying you would crush him hu? lol
