Please don't derail my thread I'm here and doing quite well actually. I've covered all my expenses for this first week plus profit already and to be honest I'm just too tired to make a detailed post. As some have already said I'm working against the clock because my expenses are high. So when I take a day off Ill provide some details as to what is going on.

Isn't that the point of my thread? Or am I missing something?

That's what I was thinking. Updates only but you don't have the time or energy to update?
Please explain. Oh, you don't have the time or energy?

Guess derail is the only way to keep the party going.

The truth is I'm busted and I'm pissed. I'm trying to find a way to get home if you must know.

You can always try and sell waters on the bridges. This is assuming you have at least few bucks to your name. If not, hooker cards are your best bet.

I was being a smart ass to the people complaining about my request not to derail my thread. Like I said I'm here and I'm doing well. I'm glad to hear you're rooting for me. Thanks. I'm just tired and the negativity is ridiculous but I should do better in brushing it off as I have before.

Stories about backpack guy would be a tempt derail. Good for filling space since OP is either struggling to make up stories or too busy grinding to live at Luxor.

Find Iceman for loans tho. Everybody knows this.

If I'm here, and you're here, and everyone else is here....doesn't that technically make it OUR thread? We want to hear about the backpacker.

I am assuming you read LVL once or twice before you posted here. Even if you didn't, its the interwebs. The negativity is not ridiculous, its exactly what you should have expected as someone telling the story of their extremely long shot gamble in vegas.

Personally, im rooting for you. But if i can't clown on you about being forced into a life of gay prostitution and tunnel dwelling, whats the point?

Tunnel living / hooker card jokes were invented solely for the purposes of being used in "I'm moving to Vegas!" LVL threads.....

Actually I get a kick out of the jokes so keep em comin. I was more referring to the actual obvious 100% real negativity and also I was being a cranky crybaby that needed some sleep. Feel free to proceed with discussion about my future staker the backpacker.

Legit, I'd like to hear your TR so far. I'm rooting for you man. Don't let the haters bring you down. If you're taking a shot, and you've been doing good so far, hell, tell us about it!

Where you playing at tomorrow?

You paid out the ass for your phone and data plan. Live poker has a lot of downtime so why don't you update us while you play?

There isn't a single hater in here, just those who suspect he's writing this TR from his mom's basement.

I'm sorry if you eventually bust but you could try the Salvation Army, or another organization like that, to see if they can help you get home.

I'm rooting for u to succeed since that means that this thread lives on but it only lives on if u post updates on your poker sessions.

In the meantime, there is nothing wrong with someone providing some info on backpacker Steve. Seriously, is there any info on this guy out there?
