I am currently playing poker at the Bellagio. I have been out here for almost a month but I have also been very out of it so it is hard to keep up with this thread. I will say Boyz II men was great. This trip is great it is kind of like a dream of mine even if I am in hot water sometimes due to my under the influence behavior. It is nice having this vacation before I return to the real world which I will have to do some day. Obviously I am no grinder and would never be able to survive just playing poker. Anyone playing at Bellagio feel free to show up. I am drinking one of those giant size margaritas so I hope I don't turn into easy money. I say if I lose more than 6k it is off to rehab for me.

Your phone doesn't have a camera to post proof?

I will be at the v tonight and tomorrow. Swing on by

What do you look like? You should give a table number. Are you playing 1/3 NL?

OP are you going to rank those cat shirts for us or what?

very long hair - I wear a black painters type hat when I play. Have been told I look like a "buff hippy" Will be at the 2/5 table.

Most know me - ask the desk where big fish is...if they dont know (there are a few new ones) ask a dealer or floor

FWIW - I saw no cat shirts or anyone in a xanax stupor

If this isn't a wind up i'll eat my hat.

And i don't own a hat.

So you are angle shooting a freeroll then!!??

Man. I'll get the hat.

Disclaimer: - With eggs tho.

OK time to get real here:

I did not open this thread till yesterday.

Why u say? Cuz my brother is bipolar. He was a total rock star prior. It completely changed his life...thinking about it makes me very sad

One time offer my man. You show up at the venetian sober with no xanax in your body and I will sweat your play for an hour and give you feedback as to your game.

I have coached many players am highly skilled at both it and poker. The gambool has been my sole source of income longer than many on this forum have been alive

I no longer coach for pay - but will give you a freebie this one time.

I am a reg at the v and as in my prior post most know me as big fish. or if you want pm me and I'll shoot u my #

Best wishes
Walt

squid - can you also please rank the cat shirts if OP continues to refuse to do so?

Actually I was asking what the OP looked like lol. Unless I missed it I never saw anything about his appearance besides cat shirts. I was at Bellagio and looked around and I didn't know where he was. But I'll admit I didn't look super hard because nobody else has seen him either. He hasn't checked the site since his latest post.

It would have helped a lot if he gave us a table number and gave more info about his appearance.

I think I know who you are btw. I see a guy at Venetian all the time (when I'm there) that I think is you.

Ya think im the only 1 fitting that description...next time you are in there roll by and say hi!!

as a cat lover - I have many. I feel I am highly qualified and am excited to perform this task. I will not let u guyz down.

I apologize in advance as I am not to smart wiff da computerz and interwebz and will be unable to poast up pix

If you had suicidal tendencies before I would hate to see what happens after a year of grinding low stakes. God bless your soul.

Today I am playing at the mirage and so far up $200. How do I post pictures from my iPhone? When I click on the image button it closes safari. I did something stupid today I took two Xanax and drank and now I can barely see straight I think I will go back to my hotel. I appreciate the offer for coaching because I really need it. I think the key is staying sober but the withdrawals are very dangerous. I really need to goto a detox center but I don't know how to go about it. I'm too prideful to admit I'm s screw up. Tomorrow where should I play? I need to stay away from tourneys when I'm not sober because I just play stupid. I will cash out now so I don't blow my winnings. Anyone else here have substance abuse problems? I would say I don't remember about 70% of this trip.

Las Vegas recovery center is here in summerlin. It is top notch. How do I know? I got into a lifechanging accident march 1 2006 and spent 2 years getting surgery and live with chronic pain and got addicted to my pain meds.


I am still in contact with mel pohl who runs the place

so swing by the v and I personally will take you there

squid seems like a good dude OP.

Take him up on this and save your life

Hard for OP to do that when he is writing this all from his mom's basement in North Dakota.

Regardless if OP is in Vegas or not we can confirm he's def got some mental issues.

In Vegas real story- please get help

Moms basement in North Dakota- please get help.

So I played at the MGM for just a while today and got thrown out. It was only noon and I was so blitzed I could barely even stand up. The cocktail waitress told me I was cut off and I told her to eff off. Security was called and I was threatened yet again with Las Vegas Metro. I decided to just bounce and get the heck out of there. I am just waking up I went to sleep at 1:30 and am lucky I remember the incident at all.

Tomorrow marks 8 years since I found my girlfriend/best friend dead in a bathtub full of blood because she slit her wrists. I think that really triggered my bipolar because I had symptoms of it since I was a kid but I haven't been the same since. I just get worse and worse. So who is playing tomorrow at PHO or maybe even golden nugget? I think I might do golden nugget. I need to distract myself I hate July 24 every year it totally triggers me into a state where I meet any random woman I can, I gamble, I don't sleep, I walk around in circles and I just say screw life in general. I want to be different this year.

I really want to go back to the boyz II men concert. Made me go back to the past just for a while. I need to get back on POF because the woman that took me in me did not except my substance abuse. It seems no one here accepts it either. I think I will have to go back on Monday because the tickets are much more expensive today(last minute). So I have been totally 86ed from mirage should I stick to downtown or should I just move on and find other places on the strip. I am pretty sure I am not 86ed at other MGM properties.

If you're 86ed at one MGM property then you're probably not allowed on any of the MGM properties. The same thing is true for Caesars properties. I'm guessing you're less likely to get arrested if you get caught at another MGM property but I'd hate to try and find out.

If you were drunk or out of it then are you sure you understood security when they 86'ed you? You could give them a call and ask if you want to confirm that you're allowed/ not allowed on other properties.

These bans can be lifted but it could take a year or longer.

We still don't know what you look like btw.

I'm almost afraid to ask what the story is on being 86ed from Mirage.

If you really exist then you're hard to find. I looked for you at Wynn maybe a half hour after you said you were there and I also looked at Bellagio when you were supposed to be there. You should give table and seat numbers and describe yourself more. It would be really hard to miss you if you gave a description like "Young Asian guy with a cap and a blue shirt in seat 5 at table 12 at the Wynn." A photo would help a lot as well (maybe you can IM someone here to help out I guess; unfortunately I've never posted a picture here so I'm not the right person to ask).

You should probably just look for the zoned out guy falling out of his chair.
