Sick TR. I really enjoyed every entry. If I had known about all of this going down, I would've met up with you guys. Gone out for lunch or something.

I tried to let as many people as possible know... posted several times in the WSOP general thread here in addition to the Summer in Vegas forum. Are you aware of the 2p2 get-together during the main event? There are still things going on that you don't have to miss. (-:

Enjoyed all of these. You seem like a nice kid with a decent head on your shoulders (although you have to give up the craps).

Run better next time in the SnGs.

I think of craps money as stripper money, except there are no boobs involved. I know that any money I put on the table I am very unlikely to get back.

Thanks, everyone, for the positive comments. The same TR drew a lot of hate in BBV (I know I should have been expecting that, posting there). All in all the trip was a great experience, and I shouldn't have let the haters convince me otherwise. Jason and I are still cool, but I haven't heard from Robl since Vegas (I don't know if that's because he's mad at me, or if he's just busy). Due to a huge downswing, a need for cash, and poker-related problems with the g/f, I decided to withdraw almost all that was left of my roll and start over at the micros last month. Unfortunately, I just can't seem to find any love for cash games anymore (let alone micros), and so I barely play at all. WPX has weekly $5k added tournies, so winning one of those would bring me back up to my old stakes, but I'd have to get lucky. I hate to think this WSOP trip might be my last one for a long time, possibly ever, but right now it's looking that way. Thank you one more time to all those who read and supported my report.

Time stamps dude. He posted them all already.

Also, this will be me the next two weeks, less the high stakes hook-ups.

Planning to. I head to Vegas on Monday for a week and hope to play in Event 7 and Event 11, thanks to a new set of backers. TR might not be quite as interesting this year though, because I haven't talked to Robl much since last year and I probably won't be able to hit the "hangs with the pros" aspect as much this time around. At the very least I hope to grab a meal with him and Jason at some point - hopefully we can discuss him cashing in this 40k event he's on the bubble of right now! On the other hand, I hope to do what I can to make the trip as interesting as possible this year, I believe I have a better understanding of poker (and am less likely to make some of those dumb mistakes), and I have a much better camera.

Let's get together for some low stakes craps, then. Someday you can tell the grandkids about how you met THE Warteen. ^^

Good luck Warteen! I just caught this thread on this current bump... Throughly enjoyable (well except for the losing money part). Thanks for posting those reports.

Go kick some ass this year! (And keep us posted)
