Las Vegas ?
 

I am planning a trip for early next year, i have never been there, and really dont know anything about the place, i have done my research on the internet but i want to hear from ppl who have been. I dont have any clue how much cash i should bring for a week, that is the main thing i am worried about, what to bring ? when i go on vacation or go to gamble i bring a set ammount, if i lose that, its over... no credit cards and stuff like that. What should i do there, where should i consider staying ? anything will help
thanks joe

Thread of the Year and Post of the Year, all in one, even if there aren't any more replies

why ? i need a vaction from my x, from work, from everything, i have not gone on vacation since early 07, went to florida with my x and that was a mess.

What happen with the Therapy?:zz:

I went there on a business trip a year and a half ago.. Stayed at the venetian (very beautiful and not outrageously priced).

Got there with $100 in my pocket and left with $800.

(finished 3rd in a hold em' tourney at the venetian... $115 buy in - toughest tourney i've ever been in (not that ive been in a ton))

thats all im going to do is play hold em tournys.

Two chicks at the same time.

You dont have to go to Vegas for that!!

YOU DON'T!!?







Oh...I mean...of course you don't.

i would never pay for it

Read through this entire thread and I am confident that you will find the answers you seek: http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21204

one way or the other you always pay for it.

truer words have never been spoken...

:mad:

I am NOT a LIAR

I've got people to back me up ask John Perrotta if you don't believe me! He was there in Vegas.

Also in the first two tourney's i've ever played in (at a casino) in Tucson, AZ at the Indian casino... the 1st one I played in I chopped w/ 5 others out of a total of 100 players.

The second time I played I outright won the whole damn thing out of 90 players. Was piss drunk by the end and won like 5 straight head to heads with the last guy to win it all. It was the day I gradumacated from college.

I've played in 6 casino tourney's and was at the final table 5 times, with a win, chop, 3rd, 5th and 7th.

I am not that good with cash games.

If ya dont believe me about that PM Tiznowthegreat, he was there with me.

Oh fifff.




Me thinkth thou doth protetht too loudly.




:rolleyes:

lol true.. im paying for it now

i consider myself a way better poker player, then horse handicapper.

agreed.


I dont play much anymore. Havent in prolly a year.

Would you like to know my secrets?

I consider myself a very lucky poker player who knows when to fold.

I consider myself a handicapped horse handicapper.

This is getting dangerous.

Did I say GETTING!!?

I edited my wording dummass!

rule-eng en leff-eng!!!!

















SNARF!!!!

Here's my game Mortimer, or should I call you, Morty.

First I'm a girl so people assume I dont know my right hand from left so I go with it.

Second, I always drink when playing so then my face is red for every hand not just the good ones!

Third in the beginning I'll play a crappy hand and lose on purpose (but not too many chips) so people think I'm clueless.

THEN.. I only play two face cards, pocket pairs or suited connectors. When I think someone has a better hand, I fold.. I dont need to chase pots to just to see the outcome.. dont get involved in the pissing match.

And I always go with my gut feeling.. dont second guess it. I'm lucky to have a good (well maybe a bit fat) gut.

When its down to 2-3 players left, if you get a face card, you play your hand (at least see the flop/turn). The first touney I won was with a King high.

Seriously ,Uncly, memorize this so you will be ready for me: (It shows lowest to highest card. In other words the card below beats the card above. It gives you the very rudiment of the game.)

Dahling....I can already tell it would be of absolutely no value to you if you did know your right hand from your left hand.







Kiss-Kiss....Hug-Hug.

Is it of value to me that I'm just plain lucky??? (knock on wood)

Luck goes in streaks.




Brains soar to mountain peaks.

true.. I just have fun with it and happened to win a few grand along the way.

Las Vegas..

$500.00 for female company
$10,000 for the tables
$5,000 for the free drinks....[ tips ]
$2,500 for the sport book....
$1,500 for MORE female company.
99 cents for the breakfast specials

Having the time of your life....= Priceless :tro:

you're spending too much money on breakfast

Frankly..I think his female company valuation is way overboard.

I laughed.. I admit it..

if you aren't already getting laid by the beer fetcher, you're just a bad negotiator.

Good deal.





I can't see Andy's picks so if you're in the same boat ...stuff like this helps.
