no game tilts me more than LHE
I tried to go pro in the late 90's playing LHE and left Vegas after less than 60 days with my tail between my legs
Funny looking back on it, I was playing with Matusow, Negreanu, Karina Jett (wasnt Jett back then but cant remember her maiden name) and others. The place to play back then was The Mirage...I remember being so obsessed with the game, virtually nothing could get my attention away from the table...however, I did take a break to go watch the Sands Casino get blown up to make way for The Venetian.
Treasure island closed down their poker room in the late 90's and had a 50K+ bad beat jackpot they were forced to give away so they gave $500 to the high hand every hour. I won one with quads, came in second with quads again and somehow my buddy won with a full house. We played for like 30 hours straight and the place was packed until the last $500 was gone and then it was a ghost town.
I miss those days and the excitement I had for the game
