The 2017 WSOP is almost upon us! If you're going to be there and want to meet for beers/food/low stakes drunken mixed games/etc, post it in this thread.

Here's my plan:

Dates: June 7-16

Location: Staying at the Flamingo the entire time (somehow I got a few nights free through one of the emails I got from Caesar's, not entirely sure how that happened since I give them virtually no action aside from poker)

Poker plan: Only certainty at this point is Millionaire Maker. My loose plan is to focus on tournaments this trip-I can play mid-stakes LHE any time I want without having to play all you GTO crushers! I may also play O8 and Stud8 at the Rio and mixed games at Bellagio.

Other: I'm not much of a partier but I like to eat well in Vegas. I was planning on forgoing a car this trip and just doing Uber so outside excursions may be somewhat limited. Only 2 places that I know I will go are Tacos el Gordo (happy they're back on the Strip) and Makino (a reasonable walk if its not blazing hot).

A bunch of home game guys will be there while I am there but 2+2 is a good way to meet some interesting people so hope to share beers/shots/bad beat stories with some of you next month.

I'm interested.

Will be there 6/9-6/14, 6/26-7/1, then again for main. Playing wsop mtt every day, but interested in meet up during dinner break or any day after busting.

If anyone wants to drink and play some craps satellites I'll be down.

Craps satellites? Whas dat?

I don't know what they are, but would be interested in Craps Satellites.

You play craps to satellite into 10k events

10K craps event? Hardcore.

No before the 10k events they have 1k satellites for those events. I take 1-2k to craps instead and try to "satellite" in

I played a 1k mega satellite last year. It was actually really fun-super fast structure and combination of completely clueless people and world crushers who came in to play the 10k. And kind of sick how the pay jump goes from 0 to 10k.

I thought it was funny, but I also didnt know people paid for their 10k's any other way

I'd have a better chance trying to win 4 flips in a row at roulette. Even when I used to play craps all the time and had one of my nobody-would-believe-it sessions I only won 2.5x my buyin.

Sounds like you play craps wrong.

I'm in for whatever.

Playing craps 'wrong' is the superior way to play craps. Much better to not lose all your money on a single seven roll.

I play it the best way now - not at all.

i hit and ran craps once at PCA and once in vegas and decided to quit up lifetime

now that im not a pro or a gambler i sorta want to play some more craps

The secret to beating craps is to know that are only two times craps is profitable to play. The first is when youre stuck enough to be numb, but not enough to be buried and you're looking for a quick way to get even while delaying the walk of shame and giving up. The second is when you have some 'who gives a ****' money' in a rubberband and you want to test your current luck level and see if you can find some 'let's do something stupid' money

Also craps is probably your go to game if you're going to have shoot yourself tomorrow, unless....

I bet that whenever a new gambling movie came out, you could guess 90% of the plot line just by asking 'What game do they make him play before they don't kill him?'

If the answer is craps the main character is a real peice of ****

What a weird title for a thread about craps. Can we get a mod to do something about that?

PotM candidate.

These just showed up, so I should be easier to identify to those I've not yet met:



While I wish I could take credit for the concept, I found them in oscillator's older PGC thread, this post.

Carry on with craps satellites discussion...

Subbed for the inevitable fistfights when someone keeps looking under the table to check his opponents' shoes.

I've been practicing play-money craps on Ignition. Pretty sure I'm ready for the World Series now.

Name on the shoes? Is that like name labels on the inside of your underwear?
