    Who in the Poker Forum is going to the Bash in August

    Just trying to get the list together.

    I have approval from my planning department, I just need to buy my flight (probably in June).

    Planning to arrive Thursday and Leave Monday.

    I believe, Jake, Opti, Mpas, and Philly are all confirmed, am I correct?

    Cheers!

    Hi Beerdog!!

    I'm planning on going unless something crazy comes up or hardly any of the poker guys show up.

    I'm only 75% sure now.

    Having second thoughts about spending the money right now. Have about 3 weeks to decide.

    Might have to start a thread and try to grind out a couple of thousand to make it feel ok.

    Spending money? Don’t you mean making money? This is Vegas....the place where dreams come true.

    Hope you can make it.

    I will be in Vegas for the WSOP in June and July so might be hard to make another trip. But I never need an excuse to go to Vegas.

    I wont be staying at the Nugget, but hell I am an Elite member for the Nugget rewards program

    It hasn't worked that way the last two trips Matt

    Although guess my main focus is having fun instead of making money. Can do everything we do there here at home gambling wise, which I suppose changes the outlook about Vegas a bit.

    hopefully you will find a way to make it out..it does not seem like many poker people are going and a large majority are player's talk folk.

    I can walk to a casino from my house.....doesn't mean I'd not go to vegas because of it....especially if all my traveling expenses were paid

    @Jake, I think most of the guys from our last trip are planning to come, apart from Sin :\

    @Philly, I just meant I go to Vegas to have fun. If was all about making money I can do that anytime. I overspent by a lot in 2017 and if I want to continue living in the manner I am accustomed to ongoing, I need to be sensible and live to a budget. I'm just having buyers remorse now it's time to pony up the airfare and commit to another few grand in gambling/expenses that it always seems to add up to with me Plus I don't really want to come all that way and not see a NASCAR race again, and the race the weekend after the bash is in Sth Carolina, which isn't a cheap air route from West Coast.

    Anyway, I am working on a plan so hopefully will still be there.

    I genuinely have NFI what you are talking about here. And don't come back all shitty with me. I had nothing to do with your ban.
