Dude, you write very well and I enjoy your narrative but man, they are called paragraphs, use em!!! These huge chunks of writing make me feel like a dyslexic.

I didn't indent since I knew 2p2 wouldn't keep that format anyway. I tried to start a new line whenever the scene changed or whatever. Sorry if it's tough to read.

also, pretty much all of your shots are either blurry or in shadows so do you have a flash on that thing or are you using your cell phone to torture us?

instead of blurry ass pics just post hot girls as you tell the story, makes for a better read imo.

or your bud from michigan in a thong ( you did mention that 2 outta 3 2p2'rs think he's more hittable so get some mileage of that piece of man azz!)

I figured blurry pics > no pics <<< hot girl pics, but you can probably find those on your own. As for thong pics of Jason, you can take that up with him via private message - JDLade right here on 2p2.

definitely did not mean indents but when a writer is writing an article for a magazine or online they usually in addition to indenting make a line between thoughts thus making smaller readable bytes as opposed to huge paragraphs that you can get lost in while reading (especially in the 2p2 format)

just trying to be helpful. I enjoy reading this very much and would like other 2p2rs to enjoy as well.

oh and bruce lee would never wear that shirt, you have on a johnny chan shirt, not a bruce lee shirt. Fun none the less though

I didn't read your trip report because you are a Christian.

Interesting story so far: 12 days in Vegas sounds damn sweet. When are you posting the rest - still have 4 hours of work here.

Have things to do today away from my comp, so I'm afraid you're out of luck. Everything should be up by Monday though, so you can save it and read it all then if you like.

it's a good read... but...

can i ask what kind of roll you brought?

i mean.. if i was broke i just wouldn't go as it would suck to stay in a crappy hotel and not be able to afford to play the cash games and MTTs that i wanted - not to mention the cabs and food etc.

were you working for Robl on this trip at all? it's nice of him to stake you but this trip report really highlights the need for a decent amount of cash in LV.
