I've been here over a month.
I really expected that there would be plenty of opportunity for me to write up the long, detailed blog posts that you all love and beg me for. In fact, the one complaint I consistently hear from my readers is that my blog posts just aren't long enough.
I hate to disappoint you all, but this post will be a short, quickie too.
Apparently, to my surprise, I pretty much can play poker every day for over a month. There were really only a few days during this trip when I didn't play live poker due to social events. But never once did I stay in my room thinking, "Screw this, I'm gonna stay in and write a blog post instead of playing."
So all these stories rolling around in my mind--and detailed in my voice notes to myself--will just have to start flowing out once I return to LA and don't have Vegas poker rooms calling me to come play in them.
Some of those stories seem like they happened a lifetime ago. Was it really just earlier in this very trip that Nick and Lightning were in town and we trekked over to Venetian to play with TBC, only to eventually learned he had left the room just minutes before? Yes it was.
Was it really that I played in what will forever be known to me as "The Costanza Poker Tournament" at Binions? Yes, it was.
Was it really this trip that I saw some incredible girl-on-girl making out, and motorboating, in the WPBT classic? Yes, it was.
Was it really this trip that I made my deepest run ever in the Aria 1PM tournament and scored close to my biggest win ever in poker? Oh wait, that was just yesterday. That does seem like it happened this trip.
And I've probably scored a hooker sighting post or two. In fact, just today, while I was playing in the MGM freeroll for the last time (and just wait to you see the rant I do about this freeroll), a long-time reader of mine told me of his encounter with a hooker that I will surely find a way to post about.
All I need is time to write this stuff up. Sorry for the tease, but check back regularly to this location for the long, sordid, details.
Man, and I got accused of playing the tease card in my blog.
ReplyDeletePlaying poker EVERY day? Why, I know a guy just like that ...
Well, that;'s just what us pro poker plays do, u see.
DeleteMan, I've been in Vegas for over 8 months and haven't been able to play (or wanted to play) more than a couple of days in a row. How the heck do you do it???
ReplyDeleteI work in poker, Alysia, I need to know what's going on in the Vegas poker world for my profession, so it's really just part of my job.
DeleteYeah, that's the ticket.
Either start making these blog posts longer, or I'm gonna have to stop reading.
ReplyDeleteC- for the pic (I'm waiting for Anger's F-minus)
Aw, come on, sure no actually boobies depicted, but the pic references them and girl-on-girl kissing is something, no?
DeleteSeriously, I hate these damn short posts too.
sooooo, u c girl/girl action and a hooker story from a reader then write a short post BUT a cell phone/ credit card problem .i get a rant as long as the Magna Carta WTF!!!! get yr priorities str8 LOL i agree with DWP C- bcuz no Boobies/cleavage
DeleteBlogging, like poker, like life, like boobies--okay, maybe not boobies--is all about timing, my friend.
DeleteSometimes, when I need a blog post and don't have anything prepared, the blog post writes itself, such as the credit card one. That hit me right at the right time.
But man, to do a hooker story, or a girl/girl action post, I need enough time to make sure I do it right.
When I get to those stories, you'll appreciate that I gave myself enough time to do them right.
"I hate to disappoint you all, but this post will be a short, quickie too."
ReplyDeleteGuessing that's not the first time you've used that line. :)
Close, but usually I say it in the past tense, not in the future tense.
DeleteAnd Lucki is on the board - NICE... :D
DeleteSo, are you "30 days in the hole", or is sock roll bulging after a solid month on the felt. Must be nice to write a little, and play alot, for a living.
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds want to know
Truth be told, Anony, I started out bad, definitely in the red. Then I started coming back. After a big score in the Aria tournament a couple of days ago, my sockroll was too stuffed to carry around. I returned today a very happy camper.
