He was at same table as Matt Jarvis. Curious to see if OP had any run-ins with him.

Great read OP. I've read your entire TR this evening. Can't wait for the ending.

I also previously read the other TR's you mentioned in the OP.

That honor would belong to me and I resent any implication to the contrary.

Have you heard the story of the old bull and the young bull standing on the hillside looking down over the herd of heifers?

The young bull says, "Let's run down there and fuq one!"

The old bull says, "Nope. Let's walk down there and fuq 'em all."

OP- my friend- heed my advice. Take your time with what promises to be a legendary finish.

I suspect the accolades you receive here will rival your tournament results.

In seat 8 we may have the slowest poker player on the planet (it's not the 400lb guy). This guy is driving me nuts. He is so f’ing slow. I don’t know what the hell he is thinking about. Every decision he makes takes a lifetime. I think people are folding to him just to end the torture. We are probably playing 1/3 less hands per hour than other tables --maybe less. The weird thing is -- he is basically loose aggressive -- playing a wide variety of hands (he is playing “fast” but he is physically and I guess mentally, slow).

Great trip report. Looking forward to the rest of it.

Some parts are a little fuzzy and require more detail, namely the BJ. More detail please....

Well said Leo. I also am reminded of a quote from one of my favorite movies, Goodfellas..."Paulie might have moved slow, but it was only because Paulie didn't have to move for anybody." You're the boss, OP!
