just ask any broke looking 40 years old black guy on strip.

Assuming since you're on here that you play poker, and poker rooms are filled with people of like minds.

5 years ago, I was in Vegas for March Madness and found myself without any vittles. The night before flying out, I spent a good hour rolling perfect cigarette sized joints, put them in a pack of smokes; job done, I proceeded to get far too blazed. The next day, when I was unpacking in my Vegas hotel room, I realized that my special pack of cigarettes was still sitting in my garage back in New Jersey. Horror of horrors!

My friends are all heavy drinkers and I barely drink at all, and here I was stuck in Vegas, with a crew that was getting sauced starting at breakfast, and my girlfriend Maryjane nowhere to be seen.

On my second day in town, I found myself awake before 9 AM, at least 3 hours earlier than any of my compadres would be making appearances. I head to Caesar's for some early morning poker. Got seated immediately at 2/5 and was grinding for less than a half hour when a poker cliche sits in the seat to my right. You know the type: baseball cap, sunglasses, and a bluetooth phone receiver implanted in his right ear. He sits, splashes around and is talking loudly on the phone. I hate him immediately.

My hate softens as he turns out to be friendly and respectful to the people around him, apologizing for his rudeness when someone at the table scolds him for being a "loud phone punk". He continues to make a few phone calls but brings his volume down to a tolerable level so only the people right next to him can hear that he is doing business on the phone.

All the while, he is multitasking, making business calls, playing poker and engaging in conversation with the table in between. Less than hour after he sits, he receives a call different from the mundane business talk he's been engaging in. He's making plans with a buddy who's coming from California that day. He excitedly says "I hope you're bringing the goods, kid, you know I'm a huge fan of your horticulture. My bud is dank, but you got the unicorn by the horn."

After he ends the call, I go for it. I tell him I'm jealous that he's got so many weed options as I came to Vegas dry and I'm sad. Much to my surprise, he says he's about to rack out and head back to his hotel to bake up, and I'm welcome to join him. I play a quick game of "what could go wrong?" in my head (he's a psycho killer, he'll make a pass at me, he'll force me to sit through a timeshare presentation) but I snap call anyway.

He's staying at Bally's so we have a little bit of a walk ahead of us and we make small talk. We're at really different places in our lives. I'm long married, with children, I'm 20 years down a career path already; he is a young ambitious buck not long out of college and just beginning his adult life. Basically, he's too young to be jaded, and his offer to bake me up has no ulterior motives, he's just an affable, generous kid who was happy to help a brother out. Imagine that.

We end up back at Ballys, he packs a bowl, and no lie his weed is super dank and amazing. I say "the stuff your boy is bringing is better than this?" and he smiles and says yeah. In fact, he says, you can have this bag right here, my boy is driving in from Cali in two hours and he's bringing a ton. Just throw me a $50 and pay it forward when you get the chance. I am gobsmacked. I give him $50 for a bag that is easily worth 4 times that.

We both plan on playing at Caesar's again over the weekend, so we shake hands and I go on my way. After leaving the room, I am so baked that I wander around the hotel and have difficulty finding my way back to the Strip, all with a stupid grin on my mug. I never saw him again.

I'm a hardened New Yorker. I'm accustomed to being suspicious of situations that seem to good to be true, looking around the corner for the partner with a gun, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Sometimes wonderful things happen that renew your faith in humanity.

Hopefully you will encounter a unicorn on your trip, as I did 5 years ago. You never know what you'll find in the poker room.

'So I sprayed down this homeless man with my fire extinguisher this morning he was going thru my thrash.I asked him to leave. Then he tells me he knows where I live and he's going to kill me.lol...so I hosed him. He looked like a homeless snowman. Got to love Vegas!!!!!

lmao

Hey Ryan, do you use a session stop loss? Like x buy-ins or BB lost you call it quits for the day? Thanks

LOL

super solid story there, pixelpusher

who doesn't ship the unicorn more than the $50 he asked for, though?

tell us you at least eventually paid it forward or still plan to

We're pretty chill out here. I was at mgm last week and the guy to my left was a little aggressive I'm on the button I got kings I raise 8 thinking he'll 3bet and he does so I ship it. He calls with aces . 428 dollar pot. Anyway I rebuy and play a little more. The table broke so I decided to go home he was also done. While were waiting to cash out we started to talk. He was on a 8 hour layover and figured he would go play. His flight didn't leave for a few hours. I don't know how we started talk about weed but I was like if you want to smoke I live down the street. So we cruzed and smoked down. He even got me a beer at am/pm..lol. He still left with my 204. Bucks!!! Anyway not everyone has some angle. There are cool people that aren't look to do anything but spread goodtimes.

Yes, I court karma. At the end of the trip, we were hanging in the PH sports book for a few hours prior to heading to the airport. We got friendly with a group at the bar and when it was time to go, I asked "do you guys smoke weed?". They kind of gave me the stinkeye as though the guy they'd been having fun with for the past couple of hours had just revealed the long con and tried to railroad them into a timeshare presentation. One guy, however, said "my roommate has been complaining for days that weed is scarce here". I told him I had a bag in my pocket that I couldn't take with me and he should give it to his friend. He responded with a lackluster "yeah, sure, whatever", stuffed it in his pocket like it was a time bomb. I left for the airport, but just hoping that when he found his boy and gave him the bag, dude was all like:

lol been enjoying the commentary immensely ...unfortunately I rarely smoke anymore as I worry about it negatively impacting my game , been off the thread a bit, got absolutely life-smacked with a full blown Flu virus for well over a week...worst I've been sick in maybe 15 years?

caused me to miss a lot of planned circuit events but jumped in the Wynn Main today and heading to Day 2 (Monday) with 73,600 blinds will be 800-1600.

wawa...38th in the Wynn Main for chump change ...Had great momentum at one point but I really derped out and got off my game bad, can't say exactly why other than maybe some fatigue kicking in from being out sick previously...rarely have I felt like I blew good positioning late in a mtt like this from bad play as opposed to typical runbad or being outplayed. Pissed at myself but gotta shake if off for a lot more mtts planned this month.

Just saw a Tesla X in my apartment parking lot. Kinda goofy looking with the gullwing door. I couldn't tell if it had the Ludicrous Speed option.

Hey Whey,

Kinda random question but I remember you had a photo of your GF washing your car and it looked like one of those coin operated self wash places. I didn't know they had those still around. I just went to a full service place and it sucked so I want to redo it myself. Do you still go to that self wash place? Can you tell me where it was or the name?

Thanks for any info you can give! Sorry about the disappointing finish at the Wynn Main recently. You're in it for the long run so keep on chugging!

^yup it's on East Lake Mead Parkway between Water Street and the Fiesta, but it's out here in Henderson.

Well no news is bad news...do they say that? lol, ran pretty bad cash and horrendous in mtts this last few weeks but life goes on, will be working on a big update tomorrow with lotta pics ect.

I'm thinking about heading to Vegas early 2017 to live a life of debauchery... I mean poker. I'll have to hit you up then so you can show me a good time!

Well this morning I seen the same bum in my trash again when I got home.I didn't say a word to but He started calling me names and said he was going to kill me again. I told him my door is always unlocked to prove it to him I walk up turned the handle and let my pitbull out needless to say he went away screaming and cursing. Each time I'd call her back he'd start talk more **** so I'd point and say get him and she would nail him again. At one point he said he was going to kill her and that when I charged his ass and push him to the ground the he got and ran like a little bitch. Another day in paradise!!

Here's one more idea. Start your own thread maybe.

...meh...this sort of random commentary is a bit of a guilty pleasure though

sorry no update yet, i suck and having issues with my image hosting thing and this update is lot of pics + im trying to rewrite a bit to tone down the runbad so it doesnt come off as an endless string of bad beat whining :P, also been grinding back online again which does the weirdest stuff to my scheduling and general life motivation (none of it good but seems necessary at times) ...will wrap it up this weekend and some cool news for April

Well, I stand corrected. Carry on. Lol

The thing is, I'd probably read a separate thread with these same stories about what to do about homeless people encroaching on one's property, but I'm just not sure how they were relevant here.

Whey.... Love the thread. Hope you are well. What goals do you have for April?

thx! well wrapping up this monster update then that's definitely something I want to cover. March was pretty bad for me in $ and worse in mtts but played very strong in the mtts, the $ could have been better, I'm letting my game get off/stale a bit and need to sharpen up in April.
