@ The WSOP NOW!
ARGHHHH!!!!! I typed out a whole nice blog entry and I lost my net connection. Also for some gay reason I couldn't copy and paste my entry. GAY!
Anyway I am here in vegas and my first tourney starts in about an hour and a half. Um I guess I will try and summarize everything I typed earlier as best I can.
- Flight went well, it was my first time being on a big plane (I flew in a little 4 seater cesna once) and it was cool. The Hoover Dam is cool form above.
-Check in at the hotel took about 2 minutes but I did get an asshole cabby. He literally waited until we were a block away and turned around and acted like he didn't know where he was going jsut to run the fare up. What a dick, then all I had was a 20 and he pretty much refused to give me my change, what a prick.
- Went to the Rio last night to check in for the tourney. That went smooth as well. Pros EVERYWHERE you look. High stakes games, tournament final tables. It's all here! I heart the WSOP. I bumped into Greg Raymer (litterally) and watched Robert Williamson lose a very signifigant pot in pot limit 2-7 triple draw (by signifigant I mean around 20k).
Afew notes on the pros -
- Scotty Ngyuen is a very small person. Annie Duke is loud. Sean Sheikan seems even cockier in person while Men "The Master" Ngyuen seem like an even bigger asshole. Greg Raymer is huge and Matusow is in fact a loudass. John Juanda seems very quiet and Daniel Negraeau isn't alway talkative.
-another thing. I was talking to my buddt rannie and his wife Amanda wated an autograph from scotty ngyuen and that is all she asked for. Well last night I was outside smoking and who is standing in the corner but scotty all by himself smoking a cigarette. I couldn't find a pen and he went inside. Sorry Amanda!
Well I start my tourney in about an hour and a half. It is WSOP event #25 $2,000 NL Hold em. I am at table 168 seat 3. Wish me luck!
