$2,000+ in 5 days at 1/2 is a pretty sick heater.

But he hasn't slept at all so it's only about $16/hour

I don't usually belittle others but here it goes.

Are you guys kidding me? The first time I read this thread, I said to myself, "This thread is bogus."

How in the hell can anyone believe this guy's utter bull**** is beyond my comprehension. If you guys are capable of getting a "read" on someone at a poker table or in life, where is your common sense or intuition?

OP is either:
A) completely fabricating everything
B) already busto because he's a ****ing moron

All I'm asking you as a reader is to look at the facts. Assuming there is some truth in the OP's plans in the first place, here are the cliffs:

-Tiny money to begin with <2k
-Wasted 600+ on hotel for first week
-Bought the most expensive smartphone on the market
-Buys overdue scratch off lottery tickets on a "hot tip"
-Doesn't want to "show his cards" like he has tricks up his sleeve (this guy isn't even clever enough to even have a trick up his sleeve, just look at his plan)
-Says he's "busto" and then says he's not, he's j/k
-Checks his thread and complains about deserved criticism and negativity and uses it for an excuse for lack of updates, to which some of you agree, lol
-Has time to read posts and reply, but not to update
-Promises updates that never come
-States he's up over 3k in 5 days even at 18 hours per day (impossible) that's $33/hr. unlikely to say the least, and to do this you'd have to play a high variance style that <1k would not support.

Confirmed degen. Confirmed bad at money management. Confirmed liar. Come on folks stop feeding the troll. There is zero credibility with this OP.

OP if you cannot fabricate an update or trip report or I dare you to at least take one ****ing picture of anything in las vegas and post it or GTFO.

[x] critical thinking

..... and that he just "decided" to go back home because although he's a prodigy, this lifestyle isn't for him.

What makes you think the OP has been believed? Been truly believed.

Yes, stellar poker results. But then he will have been robbed while waiting for a bus at NYNY. He'll have to go home and never be heard from again. And nobody will be able to find a police report about any robbery on the date claimed.

Been there. Done that.

Someone else will dig out the thread, but there was a fairly epic thread where someone claimed you could live in the Mandalay Spa indefinitely instead of getting a room.

I am so disappointed in Vegas. First, it swallows up Codzizzle (sp) and now Shawn. Vegas, you are a heartless wench.

So I have this idea for a reality TV show. We round up Shawn, Codizzle, Bentaylor etc..... 10 guys total. Put them in house ala Big Brother style ang give them 10k starting bankroll. At the end of 30 days, whoever has the biggest bankroll wins 50k, plus gets to keep whatever they won.

1 small problem. This show probably wouldn't last more than 2 days.
