Op woke up from is dream, indefinitely means forever and ever, Always, Amen............

Thanks a lot haters. You made him change his mind.

Floyd I have not changed my mind of going just when. I need to get some personal things aligned before going on my case money adventure. I need to make sure my health is in reasonable order before my life becomes 24/7 Vegas poker. But after all I am sorry for the delay I am sure people were ready for a complete degen shot taking diary but the time will come very soon.Codizzle

I'd bet money it doesn't happen......

I would be fine with that but we would have to escrow to a active LVL poster and nothing less then $500.

Oh snap!

I'll escrow. Op is officially gangster.

Not to be buzzkillington. Stay home. Get new ****ty job. Save for car and dentistry while grinding locally.
Come to Vegas with car, fresh grill, 3-4k. Rent room on CL for $400. Play touristy 1-2 games, profit. Now this is a real shot. As it stands your a 20 to 1 dog to make it a month, and that's probably a soft line.

It's your life. Live it how you want. Personally I don't want to live like Tony BigCharles. Best of luck what ever you decide to do. If you come out pm me I'll spring for a couple beers and burn ya a nice J.

Damn. I am disappointed. I thought today was the day.

OP, are you going to have re-book your plane ticket? That is going to cost some money.

OP sounds just like fleeingfish trip report, maybe he will meet a stranger with a bag full of cash that he wants to give away too..

This.

I genuinely wish you luck, but I speak from recent experience that 1200 can disappear in a few days.

I could give you a list of bad beats, but in truth it wasn't even that. In the first day and a half I was down 760 from two sessions of 1/2 NL and one of 8/16 Omaha8, all by losing fairly standard hands.

Edit: Sorry, didn't realise this was a 15-page thread, my reply is probably irrelevant now.

Dang... I have been waiting for this day to see what would happen... well, goodluck.

It isn't....

He is not going. Period.

Man OP...I almost want to go with you.

Cod, must ask... what are you doing about your plane ticket? Had you not bought one? If so, major bullet dodged.

WEAK, cmon man, Thought you had some balls. Does your tooth hurt, poor baby. I had two extractions last week and went to work that same night. Week to recover? Get the tooth pulled and jump on that plane,

if i was Lane Frost I would say "Cowboy Up"

Vegas is a mans game, maybe you should set your sights on Laughlin

You should play at TI.

They are paying players:
Play 10 hours = $50
Play 20 hours = $125
Play 30 hours = $200
Play 40 hours = $300
Play 50 hours = $400
Play 60 hours = $599

if ur still going, that is!

Doesn't TI run an average of 1-2 tables? You'll just be grinding with a bunch of other grinders.

Pu$$y. Got a tooth pulled and is now staying at home. Spent over an hour reading this looking forward to this.

Now I get to the end........

Also how much is it to get a bit of dental work

Prolly true.. in the weekends there seems to be some action..

Why would he waste all that money on McDonald's when peanut butter, bread, and bottled water or even milk are less than half the cost per meal? With no money he can't afford to be eating $3-$6 meals.

I'm going to derail the thread again. Remember Cody Lambert from the movie? Cody was older and wiser than his traveling partners and he knew the best rodeos to go to and how to coordinate travel plans to get there. While their competitors ate truck stop and 7-11 cuisine and used a car window as a pillow 260 days a year, the bunch that traveled with Cody Lambert ate well, slept well, and only went to the competitions that paid the most money and as a result every member of the Wolf Pack, as they called themselves, won a championship (except for Cody, ironically) along with piles of money. So no, Lane Frost wouldn't have said "cowboy up" like the movie would lead you to believe. He'd offer much better advice, like stay home for a while, get a job, live cheap, build a bankroll and then take your shot.

Grunch:

In case OP does decide to do this after all...do you not have any credit cards? If you do, what about getting some cash advances? The interest on this is horrendous, but hell, anything to get a little more of a roll imo.

You are probably one of those "I don't have credit cards, never will" people who are somehow proud of this fact, without understanding the upside of having available credit. Meh...
