its the big split machines in the golden nugget that killed me. also anyone in vegas who sees me on a machine receives $10 anytime for coming up and telling me to get OFF. am in my room at binions, using dial up (lol) and will be playing $1-2 NL $40-100max shortly, with the remaining $2800. that will never be lost btw. right now im focusing on trying to exchange my final $502 on stars into immediate cash, maybe with a $10 discount offered, (im not ever letting my bank acct go below $2000.) ive been homeless and broke in vegas before and im not letting it happen again. am paid up at binions thru next friday.

keep what u have on stars as emergency money. you can still rebound from 2800 @ 100max. id tell u to quit gambling but we both kno thats not happening so just play tight?

I don't have a 137 IQ, but I do know to stay away from bad bets...you know...where the house wins more than me...

I can't imagine living like this, but there are days where, on some foolish experiment, I would like to try.

OP, if I were in Vegas, I would stalk you to keep you away from the "machines", but no matter what I do, if you don't want to change, no matter what anyone does or says, you will still seek the vice that takes your money away.

If I were single, I'd be a homeless professional gambler with a $4k roll tomorrow.

OP, I'll be playing a few of the Binions tournaments next week and I'll look you up. It's always good to meet a fellow degenerate.

i think ill stick to 40 buyins at binions. i lost about $300 last nite in 1-2 pl hi and hilo omaha each time with hands like a4 aq double suited, and the same jackass reraised me everytime blind with hands like 229T and hit every one, man it pissed me off then on my 5th $100 buyin i got all the way back to $483, but i was too stubborn to quit and gave most of it back again. have $2400 left only.

also the only way that money on stars could be emergency money would be IF IT WAS AVAILABLE TO ACCESS IN CASH. when i say my rolls at $2400 left that INCLUDES the money on stars.

truthfully if the roll went below like 800 id probably hang out almost exclusively at bills gaming hall with 20 min and only 1 $1 blind. or maybe switch to $1-5 spread and $2-6 spread, but i still dont like 2-4 fixedmuch atall. id also have to move outta my room at binions.

It's like watching a wreck in slow motion. You know how it's going to turn out, and you know as you're watching someone is being crushed, but you can't take your eyes off it.

I can verify that this is not a level.

This guy was sweating our FT last night of the Binion's 6 max. Was definitely the same guy in the myspace picture.. hanging out at Binion's.

I remember seeing the gentleman in the OP posting here before in response to stories someone else was telling about him. Your name is Tony if I recall? The myspace pic is what I remember from that thread. I don't recall the person saying anything bad about you as a person, but he had some interesting stories about your life.

OP if you could make friends with someone who has good writing skills you'd have one hell of a story to tell about your life. Live fat off of royalties and donk off all you want on VP.

Wait until the thread runs its course here, then move it to psychology to act as a case study.

Tony,

I have played in your games more then a few times over the years.

A few years back you were sort of a local legend at Palace Station & Binion's.

There was a real nice young couple that played a lot at Palace Station, I believe in 2002. His name was Damon & I think her name was Stacey.

Anyway, They once told me they gave you a car ride to a few places and they had a lot of nice things to say about you.

Don't let any haters get you down. Good luck on the poker tables.

Best Wishes

Howard
