Sept is a big month for biker rides throughout the west.

Yes, it was JA's Nugget, and yes, it did happen. Google the Reno papers online for details.

If TwoPlusTwo had a bike gang, it would be called "Heck's Angels."

I was reading and praying that it ended with you being shot. How dare you post such drivel.

We are in a hotel fully of scary, convict bikers, with tatoos, but my family is so boring I would rather leave them to fend for themselves in this crowd while I play a crappy 3/6 limit game with a kill (pun intended).

Or maybe he took them back to the hotel room first, because what family doesn't have more fun stuck in the room of such a classy hotel? Although, he did take tem to a great prison dinner, and play low limit keno with them for 45 minutes. What more do they deserve?

Great post. Laughed beginning to end.

i've been in Reno all week, and all the bikers who were there for the Street Vibrations seemed like the nicest group of people to me.

I asked our cameraman Roger if he had anything I could snack on before we went on the air, and he said that he was meeting friends for lunch this afternoon and that he didn't pack anything. Fortunately one of our interns, Amy, a woman in her late 20's wearing a gray Eddie Bauer blazer with matching dress pants, overheard my predicament and told me she had a box of Nutri Grain bars in the lunch room I could have. We were on the air in only 20 minutes, so I quickly made my way to the dining hall and found the box of Nutri Grain bars. They were cinnamon flavor, and while I generally prefer strawberry, they did just fine. I hastily made my way to the anchor desk and made it there with 3 minutes to spare. President Obama was assassinated this morning."

This brought me to tears

Damn what the heck is up with all the hate with OP?

He just gave a trip report of his day leading up to the murder, and also provided adequate details of what he saw when the murder happened. The description of the homicide was not a one liner by any means.

NVG people are mostly nuts! Funny sarcastic posts though.

so from his post you can conclude that
1) the hotel he stayed at is a utter **** hole in every single way possible

and

2) poker is only good when there are 'action players' at your table

i heard about this on the news..sketchy place to be..nice family vacation. also maybe one of your bad moves was to play 3/6 LIMIT kill or no kill. if they spread even a .25/.50 NL game id choose that in a heartbeat over 3/6. I like limit..don't get me wrong but min. 20/40. Nobody folds in 3/6 to ANY type of draw..paying her off when she donks into you was your second mistake..that'll just cause worse tilt. imo you shuolda went to vegas, mississippi, ac..any of the above other then podunk nevada. also even the nugget in vegas has the same crappy food..i think i had the exact same thing, and the exact same thoughts. Family vaca = epic fail.

How redneck do you have to be for jean shorts to be considered "clean cut"?

reminds me of the time I was at the Borgata in Commerce, CA and this dude stole millions of dollars while wearing a motorcycle helmet.

Yes, dry, crumbly bread; overbuttered, non cripsy corn and dry fried chicken are always your subconcious trying to tell you someone is going to be shot. obv

John Ascuaga's Nugget, as I remember it, was a pretty nice and classy casino.
They used to have some real good Prime Rib in their steakhouse. Perhaps this has changed. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in Sparks, Nevada.

I forgot about that thread cuz it was so long ago. I bought Holdem Manager and SNG wiz since that thread was posted and I am very happy with both programs.

Yes I am for real so don't ask if I am real or not Thanks have a nice day and get some fresh air.
