Annual group march madness trip, this will be the groups 12th overall trip, my 6th.

Past trip exploits include:
- group calling the Las Vegas jail looking for me when my phone died and they couldnt get a hold of me during all night 14 hour
poker bender
- A member of the group giving a impromptu, and basically uninvited, speech to a adjoining table/bachelor party at a steak house.
The speech was about 6 minutes long, largely unintelligible, but ended with "now let us bow our heads and pray." 15 minutes
later we had to help the dumb bastard out of the steak house when he almost choked an a 4 ounce "bite" of his filet. (should be
noted he was approximately .35% at that point)
- A inexplicable bet concerning obtaining a wheel chair from the venetian front desk. (bet was won, fwiw)
- group member on group member red bull and vodka violence
- $3,500 single session run-good on the monte carlo 1/3 table
- $4,000 single session run-good on the Wynn 2/5 tables

This trip is likely to include:
- Low limit NL degen --> drink a large amount, give other players nicknames, profit
- blackjack degen
- Steak dinners
- Early afternoon visits to the OG, which is tradition
- max game parlay bets
- craps degen
- other degen
- drinking and debauchery of all varieties

Taking +/-$3k in dontcareaboutit Vegas roll. Leaving 3/19. Will post shoes when leaving.

Thinking it will largely be pictures. I can never seem to bring myself to type very much; briefly considered pics only TR. But we'll see.

This thread's equity of being best March Madness TR is low, but I may use my one time.

Be there during that time also...nice start

I will also be out there degening during that time, so how about some run good for us all!

Best of luck Blasted7! Lets all use our 1x!

Hopefully I can recreate some chip porn similar to last trip (2yrs ago, missed last year due to daughter being born, but what can you do....) Pics from prior trip report.

Monte Carlo 1/3 madness (in for $400)


Aria 1/3 run good (in for $300)

Subbed! look forward to the TR!

I like pictures. Usually what my tr revolve around.

Subbed.

subbed.

good luck!! amazing chip porn

subscribed, Basically post in here, so that it shows up under my participated threads tab on the 2+2 app on my phone.

While we're waiting, I demand an explanation of the $3500 run good at Monte Carlo. +3.5k in any of the major rooms is a feat, in Monte Carlo it's hard to even fathom....

I'm pretty sure Monte Carlo is $1/$2, and by pretty sure I mean Bravo shows that $1/$2 is running there right now. Trip report of winning 17.5 buy-ins please. Looking forward to your trip report based on the bullet points in your OP.

Here is the trip report from 2 yrs ago that included the pictures above.

Written wall of text style following the trip. Pretty much poker only, doesn't include all the side action. Re-reading, it's kinda boring and not my best work. But, in response to those asking for details re the Monte Carlo run.

Written on pre-crash handle.

This TR will be on site live updates, to include non-poker action as well.

Absolutely sick! Nice work OP. I miss Vegas.

Wow, nice run, hope it continues this time around.

Had to bump that sick tr for people like me that missed it.

Obv sub

Pics only TR is a good idea. Might try that next time.

Anyway, GL and subbed for madness.

Alright, 5 days out.

thanks for the love on the last trip report. Its funny, there are couple typos in there that significantly change the content. The one I'm thinking of is where its says "I didnt play any pot of consequence against RBV." It should say "T didn't play any pot of consequent that wasn't against RBV." But, whatever, thats not really that interesting.

Serious foot tapping, looking at calendar/watch waiting for Wednesday morning to get here. Sat down at my desk this morning and cued up slacker.com internet radio and on the "suggested" list is American Authors. I have no idea who they are, so click, and whatdoyouknow, its that shhhhitty WSOP best day of my life song. While I think that song is generally cringeworthy, its a sign, isnt it?

Heres a breif overview of the cast of characters:

Melrose - named after Barry Melrose, because he has a hockey-mullet hairdo going on. Guy is a complete wildman. Gambles a little, strip clubs a little, and drinks a lot. He's up to do whatever, as long as drinking is available. Hence, Vegas is his wonderland. Has been documented with his shirt off, in public on no less than 4 prior occassions. Very loud, likes to start chants at the craps table, etc etc etc.
Degen score - 5 Disaster score - 10

Panic Button - PB is the guy who called the LV County Jail looking for me when I disappeared on a poker bender a couple of years back. He basically came to the conclusion that the next logical step was to call my then girlfriend now wife and tell her they couldnt find me. Fortunately, the rest of the group convinced him otherwise. However, PB also has a flip side. One year, he came in a day after us at about 930am on Thursday. Dude rolls straight into Legasse's Stadium, with luggage, and precedes to get straight after it. This was my 2nd trip and I was still a pup, both work-wise and trip wise, so I was still in full "getting hazed" mode. I dont remember the exact conversation, and it really doesnt matter, but legit out of the blue, PB straight throws a full red bull and vodka straight in my face and yells "I'm your boss!" Dick move? Yes. Acceptable behavior for the March madness trip? Yes. Funny? At the time, sorta. Now, hilarious. To this day, he says he doesnt remember it. We're both partners at work now, and I'm a vegas trip OG now, but that doesnt mean it wont happen again... PB recently got divorced, so I expect that this trip will be a little more bonkers than usual on his account.
Degen score - 2 Disaster score - 4 with potential for 7

Otis - Otis is a complete Vegas degenerate. He is one of those guys who would rather eat at Sbarro than a nice dinner so as to not take away from his time to drink and degen. The dude basically straps in at touchdown on Wednesday and doesnt turn it off until the flight leaves at the end of the weekend. He can be found crushing budlights and marlboros for 10+hrs straight at the high limit blackjack tables. Guy doesnt smoke in real life, but there are endless jokes about his cigarette consumption in Vegas. Regularly gets "eyes closed" drunk. Has been asked to leave a craps table to go sober up. His go to catch phrase in Vegas is "sick heater."
Degen score - 10 Disaster score - 10

Then there's me. You'll find out enough about me in the next couple days.
Degen score - 8 Disaster score - 7

There are others in the group, but those are the 4 core members.

Love it.

In.

Yet another TR with potential.

Is $15 per month worth not being to follow 2+2 while you're in vegas? Why not bring your laptop I'm bringing mine

In after derails -

48 hours away.

I've typed and deleted numerous "updates" prior to the trip. background drivel. Here are some details about me. Here is a brief description of my poker history.

That sounds too boring.

That sounds too cocky.

That is going to jinx my run good.

That is to much bio detail.

So whatever.

Drunker, rambling, and perhaps interesting updates to come...
