Shooting at Golden Nugget Casino in Reno Nevada - Page 8 - Poker News

Naturally, I mean as naturally as water running down hill on a beautiful fall morning, I liked it a lot. However, it was too short. Ol' Keymode is smarter than a circus dog, and his humor is drier than Fat Meesch's pockets. Being from Monterey, Cannery Row, Steinbeck country, you should have said more about Danny's House, barking iron, Charley, your parent's special weirdness. Being TwoPlusTwo, I expected you to unload on them. I mean what the real skinny on going to a bad casino with your parents to play 3 6 where the rake shouts out loudly no winnner, when there is a 1,2 no limit game half full of bikers higher than a hawk's nest and drunker than Cooter Brown. Hell, you didn't even mention Salinas one time, not one time. I re-read it looking for the comp policy in this sawdust joint full of barking iron and the smell of gunsmoke. I resent your bad rap on tattoos. I have tattoos older than most folks still reading my comments. The tr;dl crowd had to bolt for another hit of adderall. The purpose of sylistic writing is to amuse the intelligent and piss off the unintelligent and that is not always easy. Fun. If Fat Meesh doesn't like it, that is a huge compliment.

Anyways, Benny Binion said something like, no matter who you are, hit the floor when the shooting starts. I was in Vegas once during biker week. Fremont street was ******* to elbow bikers, with Van Halen playing on one corner, and Creedeence Clearwater, sans John Fogerty playing on the other. There were bikers in the no limit games, and the ones I faced were good players. This story not being about Texas, nothing happened.

ty for the imput johnny, did not disapoint

KEVMODE, if I could follow you on 2+2 I would.

I like people who complain a lot. For real.

At least OP was distracted from his Full Tilt woes for a while.

Unreal, dude, just un-freakin'-real.

Can anyone tell me why kevmode's avatar has a picture of a man with a penis glans for a head? Why have the mods not banned this avatar? It makes me feel gay for kevmode every time I look at it.

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.

yea how is this that big a deal. 5 stars ??

If only it happened a few hands earlier then you would not have lost to granny.
So no one was suppose to leave did you keep playing then.
Where was your wife in all of this? you can never be to careful when bikers around, woman do like a little bit of tattoo.

Seriously, you witnessed/heard a murder and this is how you tell your story? At a moment where any person would be appreciating life and everything you have (you're dining w/ your family and lucky enough to have a meal), you show no sympathy and focus on the little things that don't mean anything.

If there was a time to understand the grand scheme of things in life, this would be it. But instead you focus on the quality of your meal, the poor physical appearance of others, dogging on other's lifestyle (others drop F bombs too, not just bikers), your bad beat etc.. Someone just got their life taken infront of your eyes. Why do all these inconsequetional things matter? Don't you understand how much worse the evening was for others than yourself?

Was the cocktail waitress not attractive? Who cares man. That's a person going to work trying to make their ends. A living being with a mind, soul and heart. Why comment that she didn't meet your standards on a night like this? Was your meal not good? You at least had one. Did you lose a 40 dollar pot? Money comes, goes and returns. 12 dollar 90 mans will be back bro, that guys life wont.

I know that this is a place of mostly anonymity and people don't like to show respect much on this site. There's a lot of criticism/negativity that goes around here and thus not much room for compassion or spirituality. But man have a heart for the one who had his life taken and think past yourself. Appreciate what you have today.

You guys don't understand! This wasn't a story about a murder, it was to warn us about the bad experience of the Golden Nugget!

I am a former employee of the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, as a poker shill. This is not the Golden Nugget.

There is an idea of a kevmode; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real kevmode: only an entity, something illusory. And though he can hide his cold gaze, and you can shake his hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense your lifestyles are probably comparable... He is simply not there.

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."
