***Leaving On a Jet Plane: Lost Wages Version: The Laffer WSOP Trip Report***

[LarryLaffer]

Safely back on the CTA where i just found out that they charge double for a ticket in the CTa station at ohare.



almost as egregious as the $4.50 gatorade at the rio (which i bought with RC's)



Thank you to everyone who lurked, sweated, the good trolls, the people who i met: Jack Daniels, Brandon, Druff, Leapin, Trader, MTR, Cleatus, michael, nikki, Ariel the stripper, Side Dish, Amanda and anyone else i forgot.


Jack Daniels bought me a pack of smokes and i forgot to pay him.




"just charge it to the game!"


C$, Handicap, Greek: couldn't have done it without you.

(it sounds like i won an event. i didn't. i just had a shitload of fun and an expierence ill remember for ever)



to the salty ones: i don't think ill see you in vegas. y'all too salty.


-Larry


(ill edit this post later when i get home bc there's questions about what types of hookers/people in the hotels i stayed at and this is something i want to answer)

[MumblesBadly]

Druff, I'm wondering whether we are long-lost brothers-in-sloth.



Carry on, lil' bro!

[LarryLaffer]

I want to add: the pic of druff up there. you'd think he was about to order? nope. he had the menu like that the entire time he ate.

Probably to conceal himself from being noticed as he masterbated under the table.

Now that you are home. On your bike.

Never thought in one million years that Druff would rock what appears to be a chronometer. Going to guess it was either a gift or inheritance.

[LarryLaffer]

Also, will be starting a donation thread to get Druff some new glasses.


for real.


he needs them.

[LarryLaffer]

Ok, wait. What I meant was, he needs to UPDATE HIS FRAMES.


The dude would look pretty rad in some black rimmed glasses.

He had wire frame glasses and they looked kinda funky (and I know this wasn't do due to the fact that human heads are actually a-symectrical and naturally glasses do look crooked on people)

I don't know. maybe he likes them. He had on sunglasses when I saw him at the Rio.

[LarryLaffer]

Since that last post was on the CTA train home, I'm now back and we can finally finish this fucker up. There were a few things that were asked that I wanted to update on re: the hotel's and the people in them, and also the last few hours I was in vegas prior to going out for Korean food with Drexel and Sidedish and company.

Paris I didn't see a single hooker. The people in it looked kinda classy, as it's a much classier establishment than Harrahs. Harrah's obviously was on par with RIO in terms of the classiness of the average slot player/pit player and I make this distinction becuase as a poker player, you can just tell who else is in vegas to play poker, and the average person in those 2 joints was less classier than The Paris. I also didn't get a look at the craps game at the Paris, so I can't tell you the limit (I got the idea after brandon showed me around that you can tell how nice a casino is by the lowest limit crap table going at 3 am) and I didn't see any hookers at either hotel. Either that or i wasn't looking.

However, I saw plenty of hookers with Drex, as we late night degend (I pride myself on not playing those games, but seriously, baccarat, i could be convinced might not be bad) in the Pallazo.

we even saw one chick who we thought was a hooker, but turned out to be really drunk and I think from europe. It was funny.

Drex showed me around and i will say, he is so nice to everyone. and everyone is nice to him. I don't think you can tell when drexel is losing if he is because he's still saying thank you, and being courteous to everyone. A class act, asking people their names and asking them how they are.

I wish I had been there the week before to play poker with Drexel. that's the ONE thing we didn't do. Next time for sure.


That Bellagio 9/18 game ran all week. I was tracking it on my bravo before i finally decided to cross the strip (I had only been on the Paris side so far all week for some reason) and walk through the NY NY, all the way to the Bellagio poker room. Had to not only play this 9/18 game but I needed a dollar chip from there to add to the Harrahs snapper chip Drexel gave me, the Binions chip (at Binions, I was refused from the cage to buy a dollar chip. Drexel was shocked and they refused him also. so he took my dollar to a table and bought one for me as where im from, you can't do that so I didn't think to) and my rio chip.

that 9/18 game I can live in. In fact, my next plan is to go back, and just play that. Sit down, and grind. I WISH we had that game here. The closest I can get to it is the 8/16 limit, and considering it costs just as much to go there as it does vegas, in half the fucking time, i'm now choosing vegas. I did however lose $100 as I had to go on a little bit of a down to make dinner and my flight. I should've woken up earlier than 4pm to get there.


Well, that's that. I'll be back next year for the wsop, that's for damn fucking sure.

[LarryLaffer]

are those nice? not a watch guy, but I will say his watch did look flashy.


Druff also dressed just the way I thought he would. But the shirt he had on at dinner the other night was a Tommy Hilfiger not a cheap target shirt.


he could use a nice new pair of Nike Dunks though.


So ya all i'll say is if he updates his glasses, and his shoe selection, he'd shed this nerdy image you seem to portray of him for sure.

Been kind of busy. Skipping the articles & looking @ pictures in your HOF thread.

Are you staying? Do you need a place to stay in Vegas now? House not hotel btw.

PM me.

PM me.

Maybe once I decide to move there. I think it's ABSOLUTELY insane to just uproot and go gamble for a living. that's how people end up being hookers and poker dealers, and Tyde (LoL)

I'm gonna chill here in the city and make trips back and forth. I have lots of time and those flights on spirit are ALWAYS that cheap if you book them in advance.

However i'll PM you later about it. I do want to hear what you have.

[LarryLaffer]

LoTF: it's a 9/18 hold em game.


are you fucking kidding?

You can play that at your local, no?

Go get an 8ball of flake and hit some bars and shit. It's sin city Larry. Grab those chips and go get a whore in your room and snort some quality lemo outa her cornhole.

And that's just for starters.

[you're kind of trolling here, but i'll give you honest response as a way to extend an olive branch of sorts]

No I can't. as i've said many times, in this thread and in others, they don't play LHE here in Chicago/Indiana high enough for me to consider playing, as it's 3/6 lhe) sometimes they get a 40 game going in Milwaukee and there's sometimes one in Indiana, but nah.

There is ONE game in chicago land that runs all the time, but it's impossible to get into, and i hate playinh during the day. It's in Aurora. it's a 10/20 game. But it closes at 5 am due to Illinois law so the game breaks. it can't go all night. one of the edges in LHE is that it goes forever, and the strongest survive. there's no taking someone's money in one hand. you have to bleed it from eachother. I like the slowness of it. I also like the oldness of it too.

as for the coke, never once in my life have I done it. So, at 31, I think it's best to leave that be. I hit plenty of bars (you must not have been reading since you're in the UK) with Jack Daniels and got drunk when it was time to, and sobered up and played poker when it was time to. It wasn't a straight vacation. There was work to do. But when the work was over and belive me, I was mad every time I busted bc I wanted to win, then fun was had. Not before. I wish I could've had the MOST FUN, which would've been winning a bracelet. That's why there isn't whore's in my room and me eating out girls assholes (which I wouldn't do bc I'm civilized). I don;t know why you'd wanna know about that anyway. kinda weird.

strip club is all ya get. I guess you had to be there to know how fucking awesome and divey it was. Me and Brandon, discussing vegas, in a dimly neon lit strip club, off the strip, smoking parliments.

When we walked out at 7 am, man it was classic. I can't tell you enough. We both looked at each other and laughed. That fucking sun was BLAZING. Drexel was upset he didn't have sunglasses. It was a classic end to a classic evening.



(oh and one other thing: Druff, if you're going to clean the thread up of the trolling, don't. it really shows the true character of some of the beloved posters. we should keep it for posterity reasons)

[sonatine]

OH MY GOD ITS NEVER GOING TO STOP

[LarryLaffer]

OH MY GOD ITS NEVER GOING TO STOP

except this fucking tardball.

Tine, mad that the spotlight ain't on the BTC thread anymore?




we need a

:butthurt after this one don't we.


you should go back to being a faggot in your mom's basement and fly fishing in the backyard pond while we discuss vegas in this thread.

Back In Chicago?

I got people moving in and out of 2 houses. Currently they are kind of empty. I wasn't looking to rent or anything.

It's something that just cropped up. Sorry I couldn't offer sooner. Timing right?

it's good thing you didn't offer bc that would've cost me another $100 to change my flight.

If Leapin Larry didn't drive like a nascar driver (in a baller ass camaro) I'd have missed that flght for sure bc of the Spirit Air fail. They emialed me a boarding pass that didn't work. The Kisoks didn't work. Then the desk attendant didn't even think i had even chekced in! finally she printed me a boarding pass and i sprinted through security (there was no one there ona friday at midnight) and got to the gate as the plane was starting to board.

I guess then the timing might've been right

and yes safely back with Layla the dog.

oh ok i have a vegas question:


whats it like to be such a charity case, that the only way for you to experience America's shittiest tourist mall is for you to beg handouts to make it happen?


when you beat those millions of other sperm to your moms egg, were you like "WOW, HERE WE GO, TIME TO GROW UP AND BE A SUICIDAL INTERNET BEGGAR"?

wow you're such a fucking cunt bag.

How old are you? stop acting like a little bitch with a skinned knee bc I went out to vegas (on my own dime motherfucker) and made some friends while you sat and probably looked at internet porn you fucking twat.

The trolling was fun the other day, now it's just lame. you're late to the party. maybe if you weren't searching reddit/bitcoin all day you'd have enjoyed this thread and report and MAYBE if you left your mothers basement YOU TOO can go to vegas.

fuck you.

tbh, ive kinda had enough of you. you barely post as it is. only when you seem to be butthurt at other posters enjoying the board do you EVER post more than one sentence.

I can't tell you what it's like to beg for handouts because I never have begged for anything in my life, including the 2 stakes that I played in vegas. Oh, and I won the 2 hotel rooms on radio to begin with.

You're not even good at trolling. you're just making yourself look like a bitter cunt bag. which is what you are.
