Was great to see you too Philly. Wish we got more time to hang out but that leaves a bigger excuse to do it again eh?
Having too much fun to post or even take a lot of pics.
You should have come and see for yourself!
Just getting in from another all nighter. Check out time only about 6 hours away so best get some sleep.
Saw Brad Garret comedy show tonight with Downsouth, Beerdog and a couple of hot ladies. Then a great late steak dinner. The back to the damn poker tables to donate more money. (JakePeavy, Beer and TripleD have all given me a talking to about not playing for cash again until one or all of them give me some basic lessons LOL)
Plan to play a tourney tomorrow after check out, an early one, then my 17 hour journey home starts.
Vegas is bloody awesome with a group of good mates like these guys. Got to do it again. If not same time next year, then sooner!
Also... I will post a couple of pics ASAP but just like the blurry jeans/sandals/hand on hip pose outside Binions, every photo from my phone is blurry!Last edited by Optional; 06-23-17, 07:19 AM..Comment -
Opti, that "hand on hip" photo is gonna infamously live on forever.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -

Yes man we have been having a blast! Mostly profiting sessions, but two sessions yesterday were painful bad beats made them small losing sessions. Cheers all!Comment -
Great seeing you all again!!..next time I'll make sure to stay at the same casino as the majority..
safe travels to those who have not made it home yet

penetrate off with that garbage...hung with reigle for a bit, he was cool. Tat's the only pretty boy among us, didn't stop us all from having a shitload of fun.
Great trip guys! Definitely some room for improvement (staying in same place making it easier for us to sync schedules, and for the group to wrangle us poker maniacs and keep us in line/maybe playing less than 50 hours of poker in a 96 hour trip
), but it was still loads of fun. For anyone who didn't go, highly recommend it if you're into poker; games were juicy, and the group vibe was probably even better than punta cana.
Big shout out to Opti for leading the charge to organize this, and for being the classy gentleman he is in so many ways! Definitely looking forward to doing this again next year and doing it even better

Reigle, how is your trip going?
Tell me Vegas isn't the best. Non-stop action.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Back at home and looking at a few pictures and remembering the great time we had , and looking forward for the net one,
Fun is not over for us. Tatt and Jake may be coming to Toronto and hopping to see Opti again one day here as well.
Special thanks to Opti for putting all together, and to all the guys for the good vibes and friendship that is only achieved among fantastic humans been, all of you Jake.Downsouth, Mpaschal,Phily, Rreigle,Trip,Beerdog,Taddy,
Having all of you around would make my days at home non existing, with you guys I will be out every single day and night doing stuff, it would be like been in Paradise!!!!lol.
I still wondering why all this took so long to be put together, since we know each other for at least 7 years but I m glad it happened and will be a regular yearly event.
Thanks also to SBR poker to make it possible to meet such a great people.Comment -
all I want is the story behind Triple D Bets and his encounter with this woman over near Hoover Dam:
TDB, what's with that medal around your kneck?
is it from the WSOP?Comment -
Not surprising Tripe didn't dive in to save her & just watched her drown, since the dumbass can't swim.
If Tripe claims he can swim then he's simply a coward for not diving in after her, & I'll wager Tripe 5k in a swim race anytime he wants.
Medal from the WSOP?TDB, what's with that medal around your kneck?
is it from the WSOP?
That's just Tripe's Special Olympics medal, he wears so proudly.Comment -
Someone post the photo of us all in the MGM pool. That's a dead ringer for Trip!
See above ^^
I think most people would have been happy to see you there Bobby. Especially if Donk had made it too.
Start saving up food stamps and try to to get there with us next year?!.Comment -
Doubt it, especially seeing Bobby on the poker tables.
So you're ignorantly implying I'm on food stamps, & even more ignorantly suggesting food stamps can be redeemed for airfare.Start saving up food stamps and try to to get there with us next year?!
Are you trying to surpass Tripe's level of stupidity?
If so, congrats you succeeded.
Comment -
Bobby, u should come out next year. And bring BobbyFK. How confusing would that be?
"Where's Bobby? Which Bobby?"Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Sinner, u a CFL fan? Nice win for Argos in opener.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Hey now, I've very rarely dressed up that much in my life! if it was a Hawaiian shirt I could see it maybe...
Toss-up really on whether we would have liked to see bobbo there or not...his money would certainly be welcome at the tables shortly before it became our money. But there's a good chance seeing him in real life would bring out the pity in all of us just like it did in 2015, at least until he returns to the ghetto and starts pretending to be keyboard warrior again. Even Donk would get be taken aback with the patheticness of it I think
You've already confirmed your income is well below the threshold to receive food stamps...given the rest of what we know about your retirded lifestyle, it's certainly a fair assumption that you're on food stamps or an equivalent.Comment -
You're prob right trip. Think I'm just a sucker for an underdog. ;-)
Have a story about my trip home.
If I have any fault at all, it's that I am not a good 'waiter'. Don't like the idea of waiting around airports or hospitals or shopping malls.
When in Dominican Republic making plans with Jakepeavy to catch the plane home, it soon became obvious he is kinda the opposite of that and likes to make sure 2 hours is the dead minimum time to plan to be there before the flight.
Anyway, he asked me how the trip home went and thought I copy/paste what I said here.
The trip was fine. You would have hated to be travelling with me though. I went so close to missing the plane at McCarren.
First mistake was not checking flight time. I had 8.30pm in my head and it turned out to be 8:10pm.
Second mistake was leaving for the flight ‘too early’ (for me). I headed off about 5.30pm and because I had plenty of time stopped in the Whole Foods opposite the airport to use their wifi to send an email home. I had a look inside for snacks to take on flight and noticed a bar in corner that had happy hour going and this Belgium beer that Beerdog had been raving about on tap and a sign saying the best burgers in Vegas.
Anyway, I had a burger and two beers and never thought much about time. Headed off to the car rental return and filled up with gas and chatted with the checkin guy for 5 mins. Then their shuttle bus was delayed for some reason and I even said to the driver, don’t worry we have plenty of time. LOL. When I got to airport I found out I was actually on an International flight from LV, instead of domestic to LA like last time… so had the unexpected customs stuff but still did not realize how late I was! (We drank a LOT of those frozen cocktails in the yard glasses at MGM pool all afternoon, plus those beers. Hmmmm)
I finally wandered up to the departure gate and there was no one there but a woman behind the desk.. and this will make you laugh… I said ‘Wow, first one here, that’s not like me!’ to the woman. And she looks at me weird and says which flight? I show ticket and she says they just closed the door. Gets on radio and they open up and let me on.
I was still hoping to miss the next flight, if possible, and by time we disembarked there was 35 mins to get maybe 1.5 miles around to another gate and as last time we had to get checked bags and go through customs again at LA I thought all was good. But then I realized bags were being forward loaded this time so no new checkin stuff. But when I got to gate for Sydney flight there were hundreds of people and a big scrolling list of people on standby for the flight. So I went to desk and said I was happy to give up my seat for a standby person if it helped as I wanted to spend the weekend in town anyway. They just said no your ticket isn’t transferable so we wont need to do that. :\
So with a grand total of 35 minutes waiting at 2 airports, I was on my way to Sydney…. And you keep saying we need to get there 2 hours early!!

like others have said, we all just need to stay in the same spot next time
esp me, cause i was in the middle of everyone so i spent an ungodly amount on uber/taxis just getting around
i really liked the nugget poker room (feels like ac), though im sure it's not as action packed as the strip rooms...i wasnt there to make money so i didnt mind...prob my fav memory was smoking jake's weed in the poker room and it not matteringComment -
Ya I am definitely on 2hrs early side, I get really agitated if I think I might be late. I much rather get there early and chill than skramble and worry.You're prob right trip. Think I'm just a sucker for an underdog. ;-)

Nice chip-stack, Donk. How nice is it to be running up a big stack?Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Hard to believe that was last week. The time went by way too fast (that happens when you play 26 hrs of poker in two days).
Will be looking forward to the next trip down the road.Comment
