Leaving in 24 hours. Just packing my bag, so figured I'd do the shoe and $$ shot.

Appear to be coming down with a light cold, so overdosing on vitamins right now to get through it before I hoard the plane

No guy ever brought 6 pairs of shoes to Vegas.

But good luck!

lol. yeah, I could definitely cut down to 4 if needed, but there's so much room in my case.

brown 'smart shoes', blue shoes for the gym, the maroon sneakers and a pair of flip flops would be the minimum. the other pair off sneakers are really comfortable and I like to have the choice between blue and white flip flops!

first world problems!

Subbed. Run good my man

Where's the purse? With that many shoes...

yo wrath - shoe pix were brought into this forum for "run goot"

bad newz mang
cant run good in flip flops
cant run good in shoes with no laces
cant run good in dress shoes
4/6 shoes are run bad shoes

hide em in the buttom of yer bag...post up a new pic of some Usain Bolt track spikes and lets get this rungood going!!!

never mind - I took care of it for u. He said u should take these...u should be able to win the milly and crush the 1/1 game at the llnsnl meet up

Best of luck! I'm heading back on Saturday, the vitamins sound like a good idea in hindsight, I've been feeling like crap all week. Being here was great fun, a bit sad I missed such an epic storm and swell though!

Thanks bruh - you not gonna make it out for shenanigans?

Thanks also for Usain. The young man has proper wheels, has foursomes with Swedish girls a day before the biggest race of his life and has somehow managed to pass every drug test he's taken. So he's good people

Just checking....how well can you run in those slippers of yours?

Thanks mate. Any joy for you on the tables?

Nah, not really, cashed 1 in 9. Still have a few days left, so I'm still hopeful.

Well....somebody needs to keep McDonalds in business.

Breakfast of Champions! About to get on the Kangaroo and get me some USA

sadly I will not be in town - I will have to live vicariously through yer trip report my friend!!

slippers are cheetah print so I would have to assume that I can haul some serious ass in 'em

What the hell is that? Sausage and egg McMuffin with hash brown in it? McMuffin with double cheese, burger and egg? It looks tremendous

Correct first time. Delicious!

Arrived in LA.

Can confirm that flying 13 hours with a heavy head cold is not fun. Thankfully I had an empty seat next to me which made things a lot easier.

No sleep, but I did some work and watched three movies. The Martian, Birdman and some gangster cop thing with Casey Affleck

Arrival at LAX was the usual cluster****. I will be amazed if my bags make it to Vegas. Currently in hr TSA line and may well treat myself to an 8am beer if I get through unscathed

First beer on US soil since last wsop. Have an hour to kill here so maybe one or two more

Plan is to get to V and hopefully get an early check in so I can catch a few hours sleep before tonight's drunk 1/1 game.

In one of those fun but creepy coincidences, my flight left Sydney at 9.40am on Thursday 9th. I flew for 13 hours to LA and then get through transit to catch a 9.40am flight to Vegas on Thursday 9th

Day 1 update.

Got to my room at about 1pm and was basically as sick as a dog. Slept a few hours and then went to Wallgreens for some medicine. Picked up 11t, my roommate and we went to MGM

Had dinner with 11t, RobFarha and Dream Crusher. Had a burger, which was great. Forgot to take pics unfortunately but it was the place in MGM just off the main floor next to the sushi restaurant

LLSNL drunk 1/1 game was epic. A huge number of shots, piss taking, bad beats and rowdiness. The staff at MGM were really good to us despite a load of shouting and swearing and I would think our waitress had one of her best nights of the year. We pre tipped her $100 and she kept the drinks flowing

It's all a bit of a blur unfortunately, but I remember the 2/7 game going off, a round of Crazy Pineapple including an Indian Poker CP hand. Garick flopped a straight with 8 4 2 on a board 356 but discarded his 4 and had his shove called by mpethybridge who scooped a 300bb pot with J high!

I won a few hundred bb, mainly courtesy of winning a 3 way all in with KK vs AA and 99 on a K93 flop. A huge waste of a set from 99. Bad skills there!

We left at about 1 and went to O Shea's. Randal Graves and I retained our LLSNL unbeaten beer pong record despite being so drunk we couldn't see the table

Everything after then is a blur. I think I got back to my hotel room at about 3.30. I do remember being propositioned by a hooker quite aggressively on my way to my room - she must have just left somebody else's room because she was just wandering the corridor at the Venetian.

Day 2.

Woke up feeling like death. Amazing how a 10 hour drinking session while as sick as a dog and having slept two hours in 36 will do that to you!

Struggled out of bed at 1 and am having breakfast, coffee and a screwdriver at Grand Lux

Am about to head to the Rio to buy my Milly ticket for tomorrow and then may play an hour or two of cash. Dinner at Javier's tonight with the crew and then I need to be in bed my midnight so I can get some sleep and hopefully be feeling a little better for the tournament tomorrow



Breakfast at Grand Lux gets 5/10. Ok but the eggs a little dry and the hash brown was tasteless

Vodka and Orange scored a 10/10. Feeling a little better but there's still a load of trauma in my body from last night and the head cold

Pro tip for breakfast

head upstairs to bouchon for breakfast...very subdued atmosphere slightly more pricey but SIGNIFICANTLY more life +ev

No surprise: Squid is right. Ate there every morning last trip. Almost like stepping out of Vegas for an hour or two.
