played with a Las Vegas icon today.
Tony S something, (i'll correct this later) professional sports handicapper he won the world series of sports betting twice, the only person to do so.
he was a true texas gambling son of a bitch.
"cowboy up" meant he was all in.
he said it least 20 times.
he was one of the most entertaining players i have ever played with.
he had an(?) so many set ups (verbally) and comebacks it was like watching old movies on A&E
He knew all the tricks.
HE might be a professional gambler but he was a horrible poker player this day.
guy went on to dumping at least 1400 into the game. 200 max buy-in
unfortunately i dumped a ton also.
unlucky again.
but later at Binions played in the coolest pot-limit dealers choice game.
tons of games ive never even heard of, it felt good to know at least a couple they didn't
new game we'll have to play– Juarez . its omaha with two boards- crazy
i got a straight flush wheel, and kkkk on two different hands. 3/4 and half winners,
but fun hands to get needless to say
hard to get internet without paying. discovered the
library not far away thanks to katy. what a great girl.
Las Vegas (as the locals call it, vegas is what tourists call it) is a real fucking shit hole.
Its like all the worlds filth surrounding one of the densest concentrations of decadence and wealth.
its as if the strip is a money drain of the desert toilet bowl
that said the mountains look beautiful.
going to lake mead to camp on friday to take a break and reevaluate.
i will be starting the Las Vegas poker room tour once im done typing.
i plan to attempt to play in ever poker room in town.
this is a very long term goal and only will be possible if i can start winning
i think my luck turned around in the choice game. it was a very pro table and i took 200 out of it. probably the biggest winner at the table.

I like the lack of caps in your writing...it's like you're e.e. cummings if he were a drunken, sleep-deprived, rambling gambler in Vegas (I'm still a tourist). Nah, you just can't be bothered to push the shift button. Which is cool too.
Omaha with two boards? Crazy.
tony stoffo?
"its as if the strip is a money drain of the desert toilet bowl". I love this line. Good luck, Travis.
