I’ll be traveling overseas with my mom for a couple weeks starting next week - more details on that to come when it’s time.


My mom has done a lot of stuff, don’t feel comfortable going in too much detail. She started meditating regularly before me though.


As for the Vipassana, we’ll be going for a retreat in September. I’m not sure how big of a role Vipassana will play, but the meditation in general will certainly be intensive

How are you guys liking the TR(s) so far?


Serviceable for one’s first time.. or too boring?



Nacho Daddy

This, my friend, is a TR I will be actively waiting Have you read my Vipassana TR's in my travel blog from years/a decade past!?!

Btw, those nachos look epic, with a mouth-teasing presentation

+1055 in 4:40 to end the trip.


Left Vegas at 3-4 am, back home now.


Here are my live results for June so far. Two of these sessions are from LA, the rest from Vegas. More fleshed out recap, reflection etc to follow in the coming days.

2. e5

BOOM roasted

What a noob

Actually, 2. e5 is the main line of Alekhine's Defense, which starts with 1....Nf6. Black immediately concedes the center and plans on laying siege to it later. It's a valid and at one time, very popular opening.

If White doesn't play 2. e5, Black has essentially bluffed White.

Welcome to the thread!


He was just kidding btw

Hey Mr, Sqwid,


Sorry to hear.





Sounds good, thx for the gesture sir!


It’s a bit too late for this trip - but I’ll take you up on that for next time!

Session #23



2/5 at Paris & 2/5 at Caesars



Results are w/e - but one of those days where it felt like I lost almost every pot in both rooms


Mostly just a ton of folding + winning a couple mid sized pots to limit the damage, in reality.

Thx for sharing!


What do you find enjoyable about them?

RtP, some feedback on these session posts. It's not necessary to provide links to all the previous posts. That's just pages of clutter.

At most, a link to the previous post. Any interested reader can chain through them from that.

Or keep the entire list in the first post.

Cool, thx for the advice mr golddog.

2/5 at Caesars (500 cap)


I won a lot of chips in this pot (V flashed AJo):

Their brevity

Seriously, though, literally no one but you is gonna care about all those stats. They're just white noise anyway, without context.

I think if you want audience appeal, you should relate your experiences rather than the intricate calculations that led you to report an earn of $45.0356 an hour (after adjusting for a grand total of 5.659 hours of bathroom breaks). After all, this particular forum is about Vegas and what happens/happened there, not a detailed deconstruction of results.

As to what I find enjoyable about them...pictures of nachos. Seriously, keep the food porn coming.

Oh, and if you post a picture of the end of a hand, it would be nice if you provided a line or two of written context ('dumbass called with third pair and got there on the river...").

Thx for sharing your thoughts!
