BAHAMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi all,
i'm currently sitting on my balcony at the atlantis report enjoying a warm sunrise over the ocean. its awesome. i couldn't sleep in anticipation of today's events so i decided i would start reporting. instead of making a narrative im just going to write stuff that happened in separate thoughts to the best of my knowledge.
-i arrive on island and try to meet up with lukie and boost. i was supposed to meet them at airport but i catch wind that boost has plane trouble and say 'fuck it, im going to hotel!'
-i get to hotel and check in by myself. the room is awesome but my cellphone doesnt get service down here so im still in the dark on how to hook up with friends. i plan to call the front desk to get the room of MR ERIC LUKE but decide to go down and check out the poker area and get my free goodie bag first.
-i walk down stairs and happen to run into vish aka journey. this is good because we are planning to share a room. this was our first irl meeting.
-we go to my room and get settled some more while raiding the minibar for alcohol. i finally get in touch with lukie using the hotel phone and he comes by. we offer him a shot of bacardi, he spits it out as soon as it touches his lips. standard for him.
-all of us go down stares and as luck would have it we run into boostnslide. he is straight thug murda and its good to see him.
-we eventually find ourselves at a bar. we drink some, then find ourselves at some buffet ordering bottles of wine and eating fish and shit. while we are eating some magician in a crazy suit does tricks for our table and it was pretty cool. somehow the magician got $80 off of us because lukie kept telling us to give him $20s. lukie sucks. also some thug islander dressed as a clown was talking to us but i havent figured him out yet.
-somewhere during that time we are all walking together and see lee jones. we yell at him to stop and turn off our doomswitches when he can. he complies with the former. we got a good picture that i will post next week. hes a nice guy.
-we walk across hotel trying to find the pokerstars cocktail party (open bar!!) but vish and i get split up from lukkake and boost somehow and get lost. apparently they ran into doggz, bmx and lambchop. vish and i go back to the poker room. i see barry greenstein and get a picture but we dont talk to him much. also saw moneymaker and just said hi to him. both of those guys are really short in real life.
-we get in some line so vish can register for the main event. apparently the guy behind us vish met at turning stone and they dont like eachother. this guy is like 5'6"ish and wearing jewelry and a tomlinson jersey. also he had braces. vish talked some shit to him about how bad he was at poker and he would love to play him headsup. the punk acts like a fool and i call him a fake ass pussy or something. he asks me if he wants to go outside and i tell him i would love to kick his ass, but at the same time i let him know that i didnt know how i felt about hitting a kid with braces. eventually one of the staff workers breaks it up because it started getting ugly.
-the punk kid starts playing poker somewhere and he keeps staring at us. vish puts out a 2k hit on him and we discuss who might collect. i walk up to him and tell him again to meet me outside after he busts, which should be soon if vish's evalutation of his poker skills are accurate. if you cant tell im pretty drunk and boisterous at this time.
-somewhere in this time i meet up with DOGGZ and he seems like a nice enough guy. we are friends in real life but will continue the internet hating.
-$100 sng goes down with lukie, doggz and me in it. i get busted by 2p2er davidross when he leads into me with a set with like 15bb stacks in a raised pot. that was the last hand i put him on. people just dont do that in tourneys.
-we are drunk sitting outside of poker room again and see lee jones. we say hi again and hes like "wow what day are you guys playing???? tomorrow?? gosh drink some water." i told him i read his limit book long ago (didnt tell him it was pirated, thanks jeff!) and that was why i qualified. again, hes a nice guy.
-we eventually got in bed by about 12.
stay tuned
