I don;t think its so much a level as OP going to play poker for a few days in vegas and trying to add a bit of drama to the trip report.

I don't think its terribly done.

If the OP is on the level, I wish he'd tell Professional Poker his real name so we'll have a better chance of finding out if "Shawn" ends up face down in a Vegas storm drain.

If this isn't a level, consider me Miles Davis.

HEADED TO VEGAS

Just got on the bus. I'm glad that these things have power outlets. Otherwise, Id be going out of my mind for the next 7 hours. I assumed we'd be going directly to Vegas but due to route changes I have to take two seperate buses.

I don't really feel like writing much now or over the next week or so but I'm sure I will. I may throw up a couple videos and quick updates but knowing that I'm on such a short roll I'm starting to psychologically enter an extreme state of focus. Hopefully I won't have to play more than 60 hrs my first week but we'll see how it goes. Honestly, the goal is to have a few big sessions early so I can have at least one crazy night out in the near future. It would also be nice to prove the naysayers wrong. This isn't as difficult as most people make it out to be.

See ya next time kids when I let you know just how amazingly good, or bad, things are going for me. I may even chase a few women around the strip and capture the massive rejection I encounter on video. Not really sure what exactly Ill post yet but what I can tell you is that whatever you see next is sure to be entertaining regardless.

Personally, I like to donk off several buy ins off the bat. I'm pretty sure this is the consensus opinion.

On second thought, that's a good idea! Gotta get the tourists thinking I'm a donkey too. I mean it'll only take half of my bankroll to implement but the payoff will surely be tremendous.

good luck

Well, that just went from stupidity to lunacy.

My sarcasm meter is chronically broken but it seemed pretty clear from his post that shawn was being sarcastic as well.

incidentally, ill be at MGM all night if you want to swing by i can confirm youre a real person

Good luck!!! Vegas can be a depressing place while solo. My advice is to reach out to the regs on this board and try planning some real life activities off the strip.

bad advice. DUCY?

Enlighten me

Legit LOL'd.

I am by _no_ means a baller...the highest stakes I ever play is 2/5...and I've lost $2200 in one hand.

OP, if this is really gonna happen, go to Bally's and play 1/2, and buy in $100 at a time. Start on Friday night at about 10pm.

Gogogo.

turyia pwning this thread gg

Op, if u start your quest at bills gambling hall .50/1 game, you should be fine. Buy in for $80 and grind the **** out of that game till u can't deal with the company of all the bafoons sitting at the tables any more. Try to double your BR there and then find some soft $1$2 games at the smaller poker rooms (harahs, flamingo, excalibur..). These will be the lowest variance games compared to bellagio, aria, Venetian. Find games with small stacks and apply pressure to the obv tourists. I'd rethink you living arangements and find some place cheaper. Check out craigslist for cheap rooms for rent or check out the budget suites on west tropicana right across from the wild west days inn. The weekly rates are pretty reasonable with utilities included. It's also walking distance to Excalibur or a -$10 cab ride if it's dark outside (budget suites isnt very Luxurious.. Prostitutes, drug dealers are frequent although I never encountered any problems.). GL run good. PM me if u have any other questions. I have to agree with the majority that it's a very flawed plan in many ways but it is POSSIBLE to double ur BR with a lil run good and patience... Then u might just have a fighting chance.

Op update the thread!!!

This sounds like a crazy idea but good luck to you. Imo you have no chance heading out there on a bus to short stack 7 buyins at 200nl for a living.

because just to have a roof over his head and food in his mouth (ntm a new telephone, ldo) is consuming approximately 5-10% of his bankroll a day. Even if these activities were free, they still carry an opportunity cost. Every hour someone in his position isn't getting healthier, theyre getting sicker.

he's being chased by the cost of living bear -- he doesn't have time to sight-see.

Doubt there will be any more updates. I just bought a new smart phone at the Pawn Stars shop, they claimed it was bought off a guy named Shawn who limped in late last night claiming he ran poorly at Bill's and needed $20 to buy some overdue scratchers.

Sorry, I'm not going to drive to Vegas so you can confirm I'm a real person.

Also, he runs the very real danger of the regs laughing directly in his face instead of through a computer screen.

Surely he talked with an agent to get healthcare by now.

OP where you playing today? I wanna play my part in crushing your hopes and dreams.

hahahaha
