    DAY 15

    I woke up with an ample hangover. Even after a shower & a bowl of Capt’n Crunch, I could barely think.

    The night before was a drunken blur.
    I Tilted like a pinball machine at casino royal to the tune of $925.

    That's a substantial portion of my bankroll. Up until this point I was careful to not bring more than 20% of my BR with me every time I left the apartment. This way if I get tapped I have to walk all the way back to shitsville if I wanna lose more.
    But, not last night. Last night I carried almost everything I had.
    There's nothing quite as sobering as waking up with $240 & a hangover that makes you wish someone buried you in the desert the night before.
    But, I came to Vegas for a reason so, I dragged my ass out of the apartment & headed back to the Strip.
    Day 15: http://youtu.be/uCuyHEFPVco

    We know how the WSOP turned out for me & I actually cashed out of the $2-$6 game for $170, for an over all profit of $90 after drink tips.
    Vegas tip: Special Coffees with Baileys or Kaluha are great cures for hangovers!
    I missed a huge parlay payout when the Pirates gave up a 5-1 lead in the final inning. $470 swing.
    I made absolutely no financial headway on Day 15.

    Day 15 provided me with a great opportunity to reflect deeply on money management strategies & how important it is to never play on tilt. No matter the size of your BR.
    My father called me that day & could clearly tell that I was feeling really down & tried his best to encourage me & cheer me up. When I get into those types of moods its hard to shake myself out of them. After I hung up with him I realized that one bad night does not a bad gambler make. I had the big cash in the freeroll & hit some horses at Mandalay Bay hours before I made the walk to McCarran.
    Vegas Tip: If you're gonna walk from the Strip to the airport, walk from Mandalay Bay.
    Over all Day 14 was a pretty bad day for Jayvegas but, piecing it together made Day 15 even worse.


    THE FREEROLL
    I arrived at the Monte Carlo early, around 10:00 am & the 1st person I saw was Al Schoonmaker, setting his bag down at one of the tournament tables. I had my travel bag with me as I was preparing to leave later that night so, I placed my bag a few tables over, out of the way of the other players. I walked back to Dr. Schoonmaker's table & asked him if he'd mind taking a quick picture with me & he politely agreed.
    Dr. Alan Schoonmaker: http://youtu.be/YKw6XlLGiKg

    He sat & shot the $hit with me for a few minutes but, shootin' the $hit with Dr. Schoonmaker is unlike picking anyone else's brain. You always learn something new when you talk with him & he is so humble that it’s easy to take and absorb his constructive criticisms. Before he told me to, "Get out of here & go register." He said this, about my frugal ness...."Jay, did you know that when they surveyed Fortune 500 executives an overwhelming majority of them were all found to share one common quality. They all admitted to being frugal."
    "Jay", he continued "there's a difference between being cheap & being poor.". I smiled because here's this esteemed, educated, world renowned author telling me something that I have been saying for years.
    I can't think of a better way to start my day than to sit at a table with my favorite author and talk shop for a few minutes before I start work!

    It helped me keep the day's objectives in perspective & also helped to take the edge off of the last day in Vegas, which is always the most depressing day in Vegas.
    The goals for the day began simply, keep the $100 in my pocket so I could eat & safely get to McCarran that night. Didn't sound like a very tall order as I walked through the front doors of the Monte Carlo.
    Final Day: http://youtu.be/UfK5r4jdT2A

    I made my way to the back of the poker room to register for the free roll. They swiped my card, informed me of how many chips I'd be starting with & asked me if I had a preferred seat #. I asked if I could sit directly to Al's left & they said, "No, but we have a seat immediately to his right."
    I replied, "Sold!"
    I paid the extra $10 for the $2,500.00 add on, which went to the dealers. I had no idea that most of the dealers came in to work on their day off to deal the free roll on their own time. They are compensated only by tips & the $10 add on. Some of my favorite dealers are Monte Carlo employees & they all deserve every penny they earn on Saturdays. I'll go into greater detail in The Dealers section which follows.
    I realize this is only a freeroll as I take my seat but I am feeling the adrenalin none the less. I'm reminded of how seriously people can take these tourneys on the 1st hand, when I play this local like a fiddle after rivering a tight.
    I think for a few seconds about how much I can get out of this loudmouth on the river & he says, "C'mon buddy, it’s the 1st hand of a fricken freeroll & you're sitting there staring? C'mon, let's go, it’s a free roll, hurry up & play."
    Now, I should explain that the whole time during card count, shuffle up & deal, this guy hadn't stopped talking. Through the entire 1st hand this guy, Cliff, hadn't stopped talking & I heard Al remark to our friend on his left side that, "Cliff never shuts up." Even the dealer heard what Al said & gave him the eye roll & nod of approval.
    So, to get further under this guy's skin & rattle him even further I start playing with my chips and stare him down for another half minute until he blurts out, "aww, c' Mon buddy am I gonna have to call time?"
    "$600", I say as I toss 6 blacks into the pot. Now, I don't know if you know who David Suzuki is but, Cliff not only sounds like DAVID SUZUKI but he also looks just like David Suzuki.
    I tried as hard as I could to not laugh when he went on a little rant, complaining that it too long to get to this point in time took & this is all time that he could never get back.
    Analyzing the hand & discussing it, just like David Suzuki would, on one of his shows!
    He was putting on a little show for the table but at the same time I truly believe I had him considering a call but, after a few more wise cracks he mucked his rags & I felt like I had put myself on the map. At least at Table #1.
    I made all the right moves in all the right positions & made the 1st break in close to 3rd or 4th place overall.
    I was obviously behind Alan Schoonmaker who starts most freerolls with close to $100,000.00 to my $5,400!!!!
    During the break I see that my buddy from the WSOP was already smoking by the side doors and as i approached him he was talking with another local about his cash in the event we played in at the Rio.
    "Jamie", I asked "Did i hear you say you came 15th?"
    He began to describe the bad beat he took which led to a final hand where he had his money in good & lost on the turn. I was happy to hear that he finished ITM & congratulated him accordingly. If i remember correctly 15th place might have paid over $600. The winner took $9,000.00+.
    He told us that he wasn't looking good in the freeroll & would be lucky to make the bubble. We sat back down to $300-$600 blinds & Jamie busted out at another table, shortly after. Then I got involved in my favorite hand of the trip.
    Al, Cliff, our friend Rita & I are still at table one, with a few newcomers from the feeder tables & I look down to see two Beautiful Black Ladies.
    There are four callers behind me including Rita & Al. I raise $1,200 & Al re-raised $2,400, the other players fold & I gotta see a flop against the Dr. so, I call. The flop came low, perhaps there was flush potential but, I came out with a $2,000 bet & Schoonmaker instantly threw $6,000 more into the pot. I thought for about 20-35 seconds but after the 1st 5. I knew he had aces.
    I said, "Good Hand, Al." & folded my cards up.
    After what seemed like an awkward silence, one of the players said, "That's not what I expected to see."
    Then someone else asked, "Why would you fold that?"
    Next thing I know Cliff's chirping in now Asking ,"What's going on? Is this amateur night?", he continues "I would never fold over pocket pairs on a flop like that."
    As the dealer awards Al the pot and begins to gather the cards , now Rita looks at me & asks in her Hungarian or Greek accent, "No, really why did you fold that honey?"
    By now nearly everyone at the table had thrown their 2 cents in and Al sat back, smiled & said, "I guess he thought he was beat."
    No one said a word after that.
    Rita looked back at me & without saying anything I smiled at her & nodded my head, indicating that I couldn't have said it any better than Al just had.
    The dealer called for blinds & started dealing the next hand.
    Rich people see opportunities
    Poor people see obstacles
    I thought Alan Schoonmaker said that, but, a few hands later when I leaned over towards him to ask him about that quote he leaned back in his seat & waved his hand & said, "I don't talk during tournament play."
    "OOh", I said " I'm sorry Al, I didn't know!"
    He leaned forward to grab his cards for the new hand & said, “well, how could ya?"
    I don't know why I found this funny but I laughed & said, "Yeah...how could l?"
    He barely spoke a word after that. All the way to the final table I didn't hear him say more than 5 words. We walked to the final table & they counted our chips & gave us our slips to collect our winnings with. Before I cashed, I went back out the side doors to talk with Jamie again & before I can say anything he asks me who Lawrie from my Jays jersey is?
    I tell him he's a 3rd baseman & then I ask him if he works & he tells me that he picks up the odd construction job but he plays in tournaments all over Vegas & has been living there for well over 10 years. I knew he was a local pro but, I just wanted to confirm my suspicions.
    The Freeroll paid $500 & I picked up my bag & started towards the front doors when I saw Al walking from the cashiers cage & he stopped me & asked where I was going & when I replied, McCarran he said that he didn't know I was going back to Canada today, even though I'm sure I made it clear before the tourney when I took the video.
    I said, yea today's my last day & he said, "Listen Jay you showed a lot of balls today & played really well. You folded those queens when I had aces well, you knew that! You're a good player."
    I thanked him, shook his hand & he walked away towards the poker room.
    I had just enough comp points for one last buffet at the Monte Carlo.

    Plate 2: http://youtu.be/MhJtbl8dRV0
    Plate 3: http://youtu.be/jSCea2Tl8vo

    I grabbed my bag & took the rest of the money I had to Mandalay Bay & bet longshots , trying to hit big in the Racebook before my 11:00pm flight.

    Tough but Scared
    Scared but Tough
    If I'm awake & breathing I'm scared. Its not a choice, its how I was raised. My old man thought me to question everything & trust no one.
    This makes me a very analytical & cynical person. When you have a mouth like mine & ask so many questions, you'd better be tough.

    THE DEALERS
    After dealing in casinos & underground games for over 13 years & playing in them for over 23 years, it’s fair to say I can distinguish between a good dealer & a bad dealer. A good dealer generally knows that when his players are winning & having a good time they tip better. A bad dealer will cheer against his player & doesn't care if they are having a good time. Some of the best dealers barely say a word. Some of the worst dealers say too much, to the point where advice quickly turns into criticism.
    I've never understood the mentality behind cheering against the player when you are the dealer? Some dealers are just so competitive that they can't stand losing? Even when it benefits them to do so?
    I don't buy that. I am an admittedly competitive guy but, when I beat my players I rarely got paid & when my players won I was tipped more often than when they busted. This is a simple premise. So, even if I didn't like a player personally, I still wanted his hands to win more often than lose, to better my chances of being tipped.
    When I dealt at underground poker games where I was responsible for taking proper rake, you're damn right I was cheering for the runner who tipped bigger & more consistently! But as a dealer I was no more responsible for his wins than I was for his losses. I was just a dealer. Ripping cards out of a shoe based on what you, the player, tells me to do. That's why I only tip dealers when Im up money but, tip the server no matter how much I'm down. Dealers aren't really doing anything for you. I mean, they're not really doing anything that a machine can't do. Find me the machine in Vegas that can bring me a $22 drink, FOR FREE & smell like heaven as it walks away & its hair almost touches your face but for a moment......whoa whoa WTF? What happened? Where am I?...I check.


    Anyway...where was I.....?

    Oh yeah, my favorite dealers on this trip were:
    Lou at the Casino Royal! When things were going good Lou was running good too. There was a really drunk Latino in seat #2. He was clearly the most twisted at the table. Seats #3 & #4 were buddies from Minnesota one was the joker the other was the drunk who was ready to go home any time now before he passes out. Seat #5 stays empty for a while & I am playing #6 & #7.
    In a blink Im up $65 playing $5 a spot & Latino is up over $200 & he's tipping Lou $5 a hand nearly every third or fourth winning hand. I never tip outright but, when things are hot I Toke bet for the dealer so if, I win the dealer wins.
    Things were going so well, at one point I think I bet 8 tips straight & win or lose Lou never forgot to thanks me for the tip.
    The server was at the table every 15 mins & the table has to take a break for a fill, & I head to the bar to get $1 Michelob s for the table.
    When the fill is done a new dealer is coming in to relieve Lou & the drunk Latino, Freddie, who meant well but was so drunk that by this point he was staying on soft 15s & soft 16s says, "Who's this ass hole they got coming in now?"
    Lou looks at the relief dealer & rolls his eyes & I hear the relief dealer say to Lou, "Really nice, haven't dealt a card yet and I'm already being called an asshole."
    Lou puts his head down & Even over the loud Casino Royal music I could hear him say "yeah well they're tipping well ...seat 2, nickles & these two, singles & especially my man here & he knocked on my betting square.
    Lou talked about old time Las Vegas & stuff like meeting hall of famers like Walt Fraiser during old Vegas Summer League games.
    I can't remember the relief's name but the late night shift dealer that came in & started my inevitable downfall was Big Bad Charles. Charles Sweat more than Jayvegas & I'm from Canada but, they pack so many people into that place that its hotter than hell. I was more than happy to wait for Chuck the Truck to take out his handkerchief & wipe away the sweat every 4-5 hands , even though he was slowly pushing my shit in with every back door ace he pulled on me!
    Between him, the relief & Lou I'd say they went home with $450 in tips just from that table alone.
    A good night for the Casino Royal table game dealers!

    All the lady dealers at the Monte Carlo
    Holly, Deb, & Donna Marie, all the gals in the poker room.
    It's my favourite poker room, with my favorite poker dealer Steve the Korean & my favourite sportsbook with my favourite servers. There's this dark haired server which has this angry sexy thing always going on & she Wears that referees Top with the short black skirt & when she walks by...whoa wait ...
    What happened? I did it again. OK, I'm back.
    Anyway ..Where was I? Oh yeah, my favourite dealer Of the entire trip was Michael at the Wild Wild West. another BJ pit that drained my roll. But I tipped a lot there as well because when things were going good they were going really good & I was tipping Michael just so he'd tell more stories. The good thing about his stories was that they were not long & drawn out they were concise & to the point. The game never slows down for his stories unless he wanted to stop the game to make sure you're listening. He's been in Vegas since he was a teenager & told stories mostly about boxing & boxers. He Met Ken Norton & Trevor Berbick. Told stories of drinking & gambling with his buddy Michael Nunn.
    His stories ranged from meeting or dealing to Ann Margret & Bo Derek to Liz Taylor & BB King to Chuck Berry & Frank Sinatra. When he was really young he biked down the street to watch them film Viva Las Vegas the movie. Ironically he doesn't remember ever seeing The King.
    He said he was in the cafe at the Flamingo one night & BB King Jammed with Chuck Berry on an amp right in the middle of the cafe. This guy was what old Vegas is all about.
    Vegas Tip: If you wanna cash your cheque, cash it at Wild Wild West & spin the wheel !
    The restaurant of choice is Chey Denny's. I ordered, ate & paid all in less than a shoe & a half.

    Special mention to old David at the Excalibur who never remembers me,even though he’s been dealing to me for 5 years now. Can't blame him, I'm sure he's 80 or 75.



    LIMOS, BUSES, CABS & WALKING
    If your funds are unlimited, take limos everywhere you go. If you're a millionaire, take cabs everywhere.
    If you're grinding it out trying to make $1,000 per week, you need to take the bus . If you show up with $2,7000.00, you're walking everywhere.
    Just like the guy who shows up with $2,700.00 has to decide if he wants the $2.70 bus....The Millionaire has to decide whether he wants a $1,000.00 limo or a $100 cab. Its all relative.
    I feel like there would be so much of Vegas that I would be missing if i spent 10-12 hours per week in a cab or on a bus. soon will come a day when I won't be able to walk 5-6 miles up & down the strip so, I'll enjoy it while I can.

    THE HOMELESS
    There was a time when I was a little kid & I remember wanting to be, at one point or another, every character on Sesame St.
    Big Bird, cookie monster, The Count....didn't matter. I was 5. I even thought it would be the coolest thing if I could live with Oscar the grouch. He pulled all sorts of cool things out of that garbage can!
    And bonus...He got to live in it!
    Well, as it turns out when you grow up dumpster diving isn't all you thought it was cracked up to be when you were 5. In fact its quite indignant & sad. A lot of people who believe in Karma, donate to the homeless. I give to the homeless during my travels through Vegas but, it’s not with the expectation that my generosity will be returned in some sort of mystical or spiritual manner. I give purely out of sympathy & pity because, "there but by the grace of God". When I lose a bet in the bottom of the ninth or get chased down by a flush on the river, I don't attribute that loss to the fact that I didn't donate that day. Just like when I hit a 5 team parlay or win $500 at a BJ table, I don't think to myself, " Well, that happened because I gave that lady all those cigarettes on the overpass this morning." I win because I encounter good luck & I lose primarily because of bad luck. I donate to the homeless because as unlikely as it seems, there are people out there who are encountering much worse luck than I.

    Another strange thing I noticed about the indigent population in Vegas is that they tend to dress like they are enduring a Canadian winter. Dark tattered pants with heavy long sleeved jackets, while I am in a T-shirt & shorts, feeling like I have reached the body temperature where humans might burst into flames. Why are they so resilient when it comes to the desert heat.
    I've never given the homeless money. Generally I give cigarettes & McDonalds instead of cash. This is not because I care what they spend their money on. I just feel, at times, that I need the money as bad as them so, if I'm full I'll give away my McDonalds or if I have a few extra cigarettes, what's the difference to me?

    DRINK TICKETS
    Most sports books don't offer free alcohol without drink tickets. I don't believe that any of them prohibit you from bringing your own with you either.
    If you're in Vegas to earn money, you shouldn't be drinking but, if you need to drink, you should not be paying for your alcohol. Poker rooms with hungry hustling servers are always your best bet. 2nd are sports books with quick servers. Some sports books require $100+ bets for a drink ticket. Find a sports book that offers drink tickets for minimal bets. Race books administer tickets too & usually for a much lower minimum bet, like $10 in some cases. Most KENO wickets also administer drink tickets.
    If tips are substantial, table game servers will husttle back to a table promptly & consistently. But now you're paying a little more for the same drink you could have received for $1 in the poker room or sports book. Also, keep in mind that no matter whether youre winning or losing at BJ, you might wager $300-$400 before the server returns to the table. And thats betting the table minimum.
    Same goes for 2 for 1 drink deals, you are paying for a drink + tip to get the free drink.
    Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Poker Room offers bottles of wine & alcohol for so many hours played. Casino Royal offers $1 Michelob bottles, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
    Bottom line, if you're not sure you can last in a poker room , long enough to be served 12-15 drinks then betting $10 show tickets at the race book & cashing 80%+, is the best way to get free dink tickets in the Vegas Strip.

    FOOD

    Without a doubt some of the best food in the world can be found on the Vegas strip. There is no shortage of free food offers in Vegas but, what is the inevitable cost to you? FREE in Vegas is almost never entirely free. It’s usually correlated to the amount you are willing to risk while gambling.
    If a sports book requires you to wager $2,000 before you are comp’d a free buffet, that will be a rather expensive meal, regardless of whether you win or lose. If you traveled to Vegas with the sole intention of placing $2,000 & only $2,000 on one particular game, then, a free meal awarded for doing something that you were going to do anyway , doesn't seem so bad. talking to the sports book manager or the brush in the poker room is always good advice when seeking out the best comp offers.
    Poker room comps are usually separate from all other casino comps. If you are going to play poker more often than any other game, it makes sense to play in a poker room that provides the best promotions that suit your needs. If you gamble on sports more than any other form of gambling, find a sports book that offered the beat comps for the least amount risked. There are many other factors involved in choosing your table games & sports books like weak players & weak lines but from a food comp perspective, try to gain the largest comps for the smallest amount risked.

    A king's Feast: http://youtu.be/Gfo4t5fKOwY

    If you can't accumulate the food comps you need on a daily basis, you can still eat off the $1 menus at McDonalds or find $3 sub's at various Subways'. There's a $1.99 foot long hot dog at Casino Royal, right on the strip. I am one the most frugal Vegas travelers you know & I have never found myself eating off of discarded food trays that sit outside hotel rooms in casino resort hallways. Nor have I ever had to resort to rummaging through food court garbage to find empty drink cups. I’ve done both those things, drunk with buddies back in college but, haven't been forced to since.

    Vegas Tip: Don't miss the Cravings Buffet at The Mirage.

    HOOKERS
    It's always a good idea to stay away from hookers & strippers when staying in Sin City but, what kinda thread would this be if Jayvegas didn't offer up some divorce bait for the trolls!
    JayvegasRodeThisMotherFuckerTillWheelsFe llOff: http://youtu.be/mrfS_pauJmw

    Look, if you have 10,000 + posts & you haven't kissed a real girl in over 3 years maybe you should take a hooker out for a night. I don't know what your situation is but, if you're reading this, there's a good chance you have a lot time on your hands!
    Either way, if you want to make money in Vegas you'll stay as far away from strippers & Hookers as you can.
    Vegas Tip: Always take a video od the fountain at the Bellagio. Its what everyone's gonna ask you when you get back.
    Typical cheesy Bellagio Fountain Video: http://youtu.be/ElSwhjnUTZs


    THE ODDS
    All day, every day, everyone's always talking about the odds. In the sports books players want to know what the odds are the game goes over. At the poker table they want to know what the implied pot odds are. We are always wondering what the odds are that an ace comes out of that shoe next deal. Everywhere you go in Vegas people are talking the odds. In the bars, in the restaurant, even back In the room people go over the math & try to figure out the odds. The odds are inescapable & as gamblers, we are all bound by them. We can analyze the odds until we're blue in the face or we can choose to ignore them but the odds are always there. Begging us to understand them. Begging us to manipulate them. Odds are finite & the aren't going anywhere.
    Some times we get good odds & other times we receive horrible odds but, we are gamblers & we live & die by the odds.
    Well, I've got some odds for you!
    Odds are I am going to to return to Vegas.
    The odds will be, as they always are, in the house's favour.
    And odds are ..I will lose again & again.
    I don't know for sure.
    But what I do know for sure is that my odds increase dramatically with each attempt.

    Never stop trying, even when the odds are stacked against you.

    Thanks for reading.

    Gold, that's kinda the opposite of what you did, left Jersey for Vegas to avoid the loansharks. You think I should get involved with a loanshark to facilitate another trip to Vegas?!?!

    If I ever accepted a steak to take to Vegas I would prefer it to be a profit sharing stake.

    I'll have to prove that I can generate revenue while there, before I could ever entertain accepting someone's money!

    One of the other sites I posted my trip report across actually stakes players to play in multiple live tournaments. Maybe after my 1st few cashes I can consider this as an option. For now I am quite happy doing this on my own.

    Redking, thanks for following!

    Bat Man, do I smell a steak offer?

    A STEAK offer? Are you that stupid Jay. Do you not know the difference between a steak and a stake? Now backtrack and tell SBR you were joking. Jesus you are borderline retarded.

    Bat Man, again you are being your usual presumptuous self. The day my grammar is successfuly impuned by an illiterate redneck is the day I stop posing! And remember, this is coming from a dyslexic.
    I was hoping we could go out for a few drinks & a nice steak.
    You seem like a nice guy who would have no problem meeting up with me!

    Cuser, lova ya bud. PM sent!

    Your grammar is horrific Jay; redneck huh? I have a business degree and was raised in the Northeast but yeah I am a redneck. Like I said backtrack and claim you were kidding around.

    This is too easy; last time I checked dyslexics were not retards. Steak

    Batman, I'd love to go back and forth with you all night but, unfortunately there are some toilets that need scrubbing & floors that need sweeping. The difference between you & I is that I am aware that I am a broke, trollin, dikk fukk A$$ Hole.

    Hopefully that's not the only difference.

    a couple of other differences but I have noticed:

    You don't have 100,000 viewers.
    You dont have a beautiful wife and child.
    You don't know the the difference between winning & losing.
    Most importantly, you are not SELF AWARE.


    To be completely honest you are so obsessed with me & my thread that, I really can't understand why you don't want to become financially involved? You might find it more gratifying than spewing your repetitive animosity.

    I'll be back to check in after I'm done cleaning $hit up!

    Again Jay if your greatest accomplishment in life is being highly viewed on a gambling forum, you've failed miserably. I highly doubt your wife is beautiful and she must not be very smart; marrying you is -EV. The difference between winning and losing Jay is money; you know the money you DON'T HAVE to buy your kid a new cell phone. No comment on being self-aware; I'm not the one taking $2700 to VEGAS so I can post about it on the Internet.

    I can't put my finger on it Manny but, there's something offabout Inga.
    I'm actually a little frightened by him. Seems creepy.

    At least our man Rocker would troll with dignity & originality.

    Even youmadbro will read your posts to make sure you lost before he trolls your a$$...
    This guy doesn't even do that. He's unoriginal & repetitive & his posts reek of desperation, like he's not even trying to hide it.


    If he's not careful, I'm gonna spend all my betpoints & set Seaweed on him.
    Thanks for the points manner. More than generous.

    Don't worry boys, the anti-bullying DVD s I purchased from JJGold through the SBR store have amply prepared me to deal with dough-heads like this.

    Cuser, knowing how cheap this motherfukker is, be prepared to go full 100%.

    It might be all worth it though - he sounds like a funny vaggabond

    You could easily find an answer for this question, just by glancing through a few of his previous posts.


    "...He said this, about my frugal ness...."Jay, did you know that when they surveyed Fortune 500 executives an overwhelming majority of them were all found to share one common quality. They all admitted to being frugal."
    "Jay", he continued "there's a difference between being cheap & being poor.". I smiled because here's this esteemed, educated, world renowned author telling me something that I have been saying for years...."

    "..If you can't accumulate the food comps you need on a daily basis, you can still eat off the $1 menus at McDonalds or find $3 sub's at various Subways'. There's a $1.99 foot long hot dog at Casino Royal, right on the strip. I am one the most frugal Vegas travelers you know & I have never found myself eating off of discarded food trays that sit outside hotel rooms in casino resort hallways. Nor have I ever had to resort to rummaging through food court garbage to find empty drink cups. I’ve done both those things, drunk with buddies back in college but, haven't been forced to since..."

    "...I've never given the homeless money. Generally I give cigarettes & McDonalds instead of cash. This is not because I care what they spend their money on. I just feel, at times, that I need the money as bad as them..."

    With his Ali-like return to the ring Lexus Rocket is back in fine forum.
    Consider this your official "welcome back" from your favourite SBR poster, Jayvegas.
    Also: any current posters who are concerned about my daughters phone can contact me & I'll PM you with information on how you can help!
    If you're not concerned, I have to wonder why you're asking.
