I got that from Josie! She spent weeks on Twitter promoting the game and asking everybody including Todd Brunson (but not his pal O.J.) to come to the game that was in her honor! She does tend to take things over, doesn't she?<br /><br />I really don't know who Tatude, Count Everything and Benny P are. Are they on twitter or just commenters on Tony's blog?<br /><br />I was aware that Vinnie brought in some pizzas, although it wasn't clear if that was just for him or for everyone. I would have gone over to investigate but at the precise time the pizza was introduced, I was suffering some serious indigestion and I was afraid even getting close to it would cause an unpleasant reaction. Fortunately it passed after an hour or two.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-47267717509718639182022-06-20T11:39:17.698-07:002022-06-20T11:39:17.698-07:00The poker game was not to celebrate Josie's re...The poker game was not to celebrate Josie's return to Las Vegas. I think her grabbing your butt might have clouded your brain. 😁 Actually, the whole thing was set into motion many months ago when Koala Pete told me when he would be in Las Vegas. We set up a time for me to see him and for him to come back to Arizona with me for a few days afterward. I let Josie know when both Koala and I would be in town, and she and Gary were able to come out that same period. With three ex-bloggers and me as a basis, I decided to set up a game at Sahara and got initial help from Luke. You, in fact, were the first other blogger to commit, so thank you for that.<br /><br />Tony did mention some of the other people who came but didn't play at our table. I got to meet Tatude for the first time. Vinnie was the hero of the night as he sprung for several pizzas for the players in the room and the dealers. I wish that Count Everything had introduced himself as such. And I spoke briefly with Chris M. Joseph's wife was at Sahara but didn't play. And ... we were treated to a guest appearance from Benny Profane! Some people were not able to come due to work or family/self health issues.<br /><br />As for the fight ... there's not much more to tell. I think the guy who started it was well lubed and had been losing all night. And after the drama ended, another guy at from that table was also well lubed, stumbled, and crashed to the ground. Security took him away in a wheelchair. I don't believe that he could walk on his own.<br /><br />Great night of poker and of seeing long-time and new friends. 😃<br />lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-77230160548132880472022-06-20T11:21:05.167-07:002022-06-20T11:21:05.167-07:00Thanks, Ben.

My 7-2 push everyone off with stupid opens and raises, just to show the W.H.I.P<br />I'll admit stupid covered a lot of my play that day, but hey, Vets bills don't pay themselves and I have my first ever Dunkin Donuts T-Shirt ! See you all again soon folks. mrben09https://www.blogger.com/profile/10998071037735403332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-31090272301116356992022-06-20T08:00:28.414-07:002022-06-20T08:00:28.414-07:00Don is the fake name I came up with for a long tim...Don is the fake name I came up with for a long time reader and long time pal of mine, he took over the seat vacated by hockey_poker, seat 5 at our table. Not sure if you ever met him, tho.<br /><br />I don't know and didn't meet the folks you mentioned, that's why I didn't discuss them. Wish I had met them. I heard that Vince was there but we were never introduced, and I wouldn't recognize him on sight.<br /><br />Well, Tony, I did mention in our Twitter DM exchange that the Ventura room relocated. And it is really right on the beach. You can see the beach and the Pacific Ocean right from the back window of the room. You can practically reach out and touch the ocean.<br /><br />I dunno what happened with the guy who started the fight, I only got two second hand versions of the story. Hopefully Lightning will give us a blow-by-blow report in his blog some day.<br />Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-14586390361261742482022-06-20T07:58:33.319-07:002022-06-20T07:58:33.319-07:00Got there late, we just missed each other.
