First timer's poker TR ...live - Page 2 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

4.5 hours, cashed out $603 for +$303 at the V. Was up to about $800 but ran cold for awhile before I left. Think I played my a-game.

Cumulative so far, - $6 over about 11 hours.

To me, a good trip to Vegas is one which involves only hitting the ATM once. You're on your way!

Yeah, I knew it was pretty run down but I think I got the nut worst room.

Just walked all the way down to P-Ho for the steak and eggs special and apparently they are "out."

How long are you staying? Where will you be playing today? How do people generally respond when you take pics of your stack? Don't forget to check out The Auto Collections at the Quad, it's probably the only good thing about that joint.

+10000. It is utterly ridiculous when you are in a hurry, which I always am. I probably look like a psycho when I am pulling spin moves to get through some of the crowds.

let's do the B tonight! Can't wait to get on the plane in a few hours!

PS- Get a cleaning crew in that room...I might sleep in the "dog relief area" instead.

I don't like to rush, but I do like to bust a spin move in public for the lols.

Donkey--it looked like you brought a fat roll for 1/2. Is most of the money for shopping?

Plan is to play 2/5 if I see a decent game running later in my trip. Not doing any shopping. Roll is also for food, etc.

It's just about the only place where I see two people holding hands take up the full width of a 12 foot wide hallway. At .03 mph.

Up a whopping $5 on the day. Had the god seat but the whale just busted to someone else. Maybe time for a change of scenery.

Some rando on the strip approached me and started making small talk.. He ends up asking me to go to a bar with him to sing karaoke. Seemed like a nice guy but I'm not really trying to do man sex.
