Any TRs from the last year to add to the list?

Leon's latest adventures (see last entries) inspired me to update this compilation I did awhile back. Also added grando and TheTrooper97. Obviously all of this is just my opinion, along with a variety of suggestions in this thread. Hope you enjoy.

yeah, I remember DSB from years ago. Great read.

It's in there now. My description skills probably leave a lot to be desired, so if you want to do a better writeup for the description have at it and I'll put it in there.

This may be one of the ones I have to go back and reread. I remember so little about it other than partying with a MLB player. Seems like most of the pics are still intact, so that's a good thing too!

Or was it an MLB owner?

Neb also had a great series of high roller posts, but they didn't seem to get much traction

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...rchid=63918579

Nice. I was trying to remember his screen name when I stickied this. All I could remember was BJ high roller with a 3 letter name, lol.

New trip added to the OP. Bloobird does Vegas.

link not working for me

not sure what happened. here's the series of threads he started, i believe in sequential order

12/30 to 1/5, a trip.
A trip, 3/12 to 3/15.
6/1 to 6/7, a trip.
8/9 to 8/13, a trip.
2/18 to 2/20, a mini-trip.
A trip, 6/7 to 6/13.
4/27 to 4/30, a trip.

The Neb TRs are a must for chip porn alone.

Checking in after many years, glad to see my efforts finally warranted a sticky! Heading to Vegas next week for Phish and some poker.

What is phish.
