i guess long beach. its the most affordable beach city and close to casinos.

Have you ever been connected at all to the East Coast scene? Have you ever dealt with old (ish) school people here like Joe Black or Liz and such? Maybe we splashed around in 10/25 back in the day? Remember when Ivy was sleeping under the boardwalk?

I like what you've done for yourself in the scene. Kudos to you. I certainly don't agree with everything you say and I might not even like you in person, but I have to respect the fact that we all know your name, and you're not some busto loser or cheating scumbag who owes everyone and every game. You are a degen role model.

Not doxxng myself or disclosing my worth, but I've also never been pinched, and tried to be more of the house than the grinder. Good for you, man. I've followed you for a long time.

I'm a whiskey guy but my wine vice is strictly Italian. I'll put a $150 amarone against any red you've discussed. Ever venture into Italian wines? ETA: $30 Primitivo from Puglia is the nut daily red.

Also I've been held up at gunpoint mid game. Have you ever had to deal with something like that?

Ivey is well on his way to sleeping under the boardwalk again. I can see him out there with his old homies: "Man, you aren't going to believe this story."
