Blue Man Group: Is the absolute uber nuts: Loved every minute of it.

Riveria: Is re-structuring under Chapter 11. What does it mean, super cheap rooms, but the establishment sucks. What does that mean for you? Close your eyes and try to go to sleep in the worst room imagineable for 35 bucks a night. Could you sleep there?

Poker Tournaments: 2 tournaments, 2 times the chip leader, 2 times got stacked with the best hand when the money went in, 2 times ended up with a crippled "shove any 2 cards stack" 2 times couldn't catch back up as a 2-1 dog. Those turds were so easy to read I was pissing them off calling out their hands. The best part was when a so-called poker pro had the gumption to call me out when I flipped over 25o utg with 2500 in chips at the 1k/500 blinds level.
I told her that if she has any problem with my shove there, she wasn't nearly as good of a pro as she thought. Whole table went wild laughing at her.
Sahara's structure. 45 bucks, 20 minute blinds, 1 20 dollar strapon/rebuy. 4k chips. Should be EZ money if you can hold up that one time you manage to catch someone being mentally retarded.

Slot Machines: Turns out my whole family runs bad.

Hookers: All over the place down there. Can smell them before you see them. No action to report.

Strippers: See also: Hookers.

Freemont Street: Fucking awesome. Watching the Street performers was amazing. There were 2 dudes doing spraypaint art that I couldn't stop watching. The "hood" over the street kinda kills the night sky, but is made up for by the neatest shows ever. 6.99 prime rib doesn't suck either.

Strip food: Over Priced. Only one place was worth it. Kahunaville in TI.

"The sirens of TI show": SUCK.

that is all.
The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

Meh.. She was being a real bitch.

I did have some good quotes. One tard insisted on us calling him "New York" He'd rap after he won every hand.

Him: You know, I'm a blackbelt in Ju-Jitsu (I just 3 bet him with AKo from the Button.

Me: Well if I had known that I wouldn't have re-raised you there.

Him: I could beat up Bruce Lee (proceeds to create some terrible rap about how he could beat up Lee.)

Me: You mean the Dead guy?

Him: Yeah

Me: Yeah, I could probably kick his ass too. (Table starts laughing)

Him: No I mean when he was alive.

Me: Didn't the Fresh Prince of Bel Air rap about beating up Mike Tyson? That didn't go to well for him.

Him: Will Smith is a punk.

Me: What? He can't hear you through his million dollar mansion, speak up next time.

Him: I'm a multi millionaire.

Me: Really?

Him: If I wanna be.

Me: .... Really.

Me to the dealer after folding like 25 hands in a row. "Must be a good hand, you keep trying to give it to me"

I'm talkative at the table.

As for the "Pro". She was pretty horrible, and making comments about everyones terrible play at the table.

I just put her in her place.

QFT. Shoving 52o UTG is bad as well, you're not getting folds with that few chips, might as well take your chances on the random hand in the BB that chances are will be better than 52o.

If she's being a bitch I don't see the problem, especially if she's a 'pro'.
"This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

Meh, perhaps I am.

A few guys at the the table told me afterwards that she deserved what she got. I mean seriously, she was laughing in peoples faces for their bad plays.

If Mcat says 25o shove utg was bad, he's right I'd imainge. I just remember reading several strategy guides that suggest once you get under a certain M, that you should shove any 2 cards... perhaps I've mis-construed that somehow?

Well, think about it - if you "shove" now you've got a terrible hand guaranteed, and will be a large underdog to any players in the pot. Perhaps you'll get lucky, perhaps not. If you fold, you at least have the chance of picking up AA the next hand, but you'd be happy to see J7o as well after tossing 25o.

As for being a dick...I don't particularly have a problem with you biting back at someone that's being a bitch, but otherwise you should probably avoid doing anything that would put a damper on the table. It's Vegas, people are there to have fun. If that guy wants to rap and say weird shit, let him - the more fun people are having, the more money you should expect to make.

vegas is supposed to be fun but rapping after every winning hand is a lil much. as for the 2 5 off push i think its crazy. they say if you're stack is nearing ten times the big blind its time to make a move but i've played several tourneys where im almost down to one small blind, came across a hand got three or four callers, won and went much deeper in the tourney. ur hand s will come.
