Thanks Mike

You know, as a kid that liked to gamble and was around friends that liked to gamble, all we could talk about is Vegas and the f'n Mirage. Honestly, and this might just be because I have gone so much recently (3 times in like 12 months), it has becomed played out.

The negatives that I have

1) Hands are out everywhere
2) Jerkoffs that jump tables and play two hands and then jump out, back and forth (we had one guy that was lucky I was up for 36 hours and had to get medvac'ed to my room because he was back and forth between two tables for 90 minutes, at like 5am)
3) Crappy lines (Bears were +170 on the Moneyline at Caeser's, were +220 on Pinnacle)
4) People not trusting trustworthy people becuase of all the jerkoffs that try to take advantage of people out there(no more free drinks for sports bettors because of all the bums needing a taste, getting a DRF at some places is like a security breach)
5) ALWAYS ALWAYS staying up for like 40 hours straight once you get there (I am a firm believer of the oxygen theory because when I get into Vegas, I am ROARING to go, and I don't stop, never even get tired, even when getting smoked)
6) Porn card flickers with their thumbs, I saw one of them try to give those to a 10 year old kid, the old man went nuts on the guy
7) The tough Cali guys that cruise up their for the weekend to try and represent
8) The math genius' at the blackjack table
9) The poker jerkoffs that watch too much poker on TV and act like jerkoffs and have ruined the game of Texas Holdem
10) the old 'TSA' people at the airport that have no idea about anything,
11) the flight back
12) the BS that they actually rate you, and you are playing $50 a hand, and you end up seeing they have you rated at $25 a hand


there are more, but those can't be typed

If you lost to Moneymaker, you need to stop playing cards

He is a horrible card player. From what I have heard out there and read online that he doesn't play that much anymore and that he only plays with sponsored money. not a single penny from his winnings have ever been put into play. I have also heard that he gets smoked when he sits cash games on a consistent basis.

When I sat down, Moneymaker kept raising preflop then follow up with a bet ALL THe TIME. He raises in first position and im on the button holding JJ. I make it three bets, BB calls, Moneymaker caps it. Flop is Jack, 8, 4. Two hearts. BB checks Moneymaker bets, I raise, BB folds, Moneymaker reraises. I call, then the turn is a 3 of hearts. Moneymaker bets, I call. River brings another heart a 5 of hearts. Money bets, I make a crying call. He was just trying to make a play on me with 10,5 off. One of which was a ****ing heart. Just alot of sick BS
