I think that was the guy. Didn't see who was in 7 seat but I was playing 2 tables away.

I've played with Joe a bunch in the past, and he's fun to play with. Super dry sense of humor, but funny. He did seem a little nervous on TV. But, he likes to play limit holdem so that's saying something?

I'm the guy wearing the 'bubblegun' t-shirt (until I get cold)

Paging GiantBuddha - if you happen to lurk around here, let me know, I might have a copywriting project for you.

Oh my stars, did this man chasing after a life-changing amount of money not comport himself according to your standards? Somebody find my fainting couch!

Was anyone rooting for him at all? Except for those hillbillies on his rail? Was he trying his best to be the guy you loved to hate? Am I being trolled? I mean for god's sake, sweatpants? Really? With the white drawstring sticking out as you hold up the bracelet?
"Poker's next ambassador", eh? For ****'s sake. He won a poker tournament, and that's it. He has no obligation to do anything else for anybody.

And then we get to sweatpants. Sweatmother****ingpants. Whoooooooooooo careeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss? Man, if I were to ever get to some televised final table I'm coming out in a bathrobe and flip flops.

If random casual *******s don't want to play poker because they find the manner of dress of the players on the TV unacceptable, then they should find the nearest suicide booth and do us all a favor.

**** you and your antiquated livetard mindset. The game is what matters. It should be the ONLY thing that matters.

Hard to fathom how anybody could think that Kara Scott is the one coming off well in that exchange.

Hey limitholdem123, stop talking **** to Deathdonkey before he comes and puts your sweatpants wearing online douchetard self in your ****ing place. He has a huge ego and is not one to tolerate disrespect! We are just a day removed from the Paris terrorist attacks and nobody has time to deal with your bad attitude. Take your November 2015 join date and shove it up your ass!

Yeah I didn't understand the intense hate for McK. Guy is just himself and has some quirks. Big eff deal. At least he was willing to open his mouth at table. Barely heard a peep out of the rest of the guys.

And he made hearthstone strategy posts shortly after winning.

Trip Report:

Just got to Vegas! Commerce was pretty cool, different than I was expecting. There were one or two angry players, but everyone was much more friendly than I was told would be the case. The room itself was more of just a big room full of poker tables than I had envisioned. The parking lot was safer than I had been told, I took a few trips to the car The rake was pretty high, but the games were good.

The first day the 60 started pretty tough but got good later in the evening, the 2nd day (wed?) it never ran at all and I never got a seat in 100 so played 40 all night. On the last day I wanted to take a 1/2 shot, but they were playing 2/4 instead But, 60 was good all day and we were able to bump it to 100 later when the game was short so at least I got to play a little. (and it allowed me to get unstuck ) I ran good overall and left with $5,256 of the LA moniez.

The next day, my wife, my dog, and I drove to Death Valley, where we explored some **** and camped for the night. This morning we explored some more, despite the hurricane-force winds and near-freezing temperatures at some of the mountain peaks. Everything was amazing though. We also drove through a pretty intense sandstorm on the way to Vegas. I couldn't see 10ft in front of the car (LOLdeserts,) but we made it.

We got a sweet house on airbnb not far from Bellagio, complete with yard for the dog, and now I'm ready to get some ZOMG moniez

games in vegas are really picking up now. some fish who embarrassed himself and got destroyed every time he played this summer just arrived in town.

he better run like Prefontaine or he and his wife may have to call their trip short and sleep in the car the rest of the trip
11-16-2015 , 10:31 PM
word around the poker room is he's already had to pawn the dog for a 10/20 buy in and he hasnt even made it to 40/80 yet

Stayed home to guard the wife, but you should come rescue me from this 20 O8 game.
11-17-2015 , 05:45 PM
Booked a win in O8, confirmed running good.

ZOMG conveniently 'had to go' when they started the 40
11-17-2015 , 07:04 PM
lol. i didnt even put my name on the list and told everyone i wasnt going play. my dad had back surgery and cant drive or barely walk. i just had an hour to kill and was waiting for him to text me and say his doctor appontment was done.

not much point in helping start a short handed game with you and Ian when i knew i had to bail in less than a half hour.
11-17-2015 , 08:30 PM
Just needling. I'll see you later.
11-18-2015 , 12:24 AM
You better get in here. The two good players are leaving together and I'm now the best player in the game.
11-18-2015 , 01:11 AM
Was the game 3 handed before they left?
