Big Game Gossip

[Phat Mack]

This is supposed to be the gossip board, but I see very little good gossip. Thus THE BIG GAME IS LEAVING THE BELL---

I heard this from no less an authority than a hooker cruising the Baccarat Bar:

The Venetian has all the Big Game players under contract. When their poker room opens, the Big Game will move there, and it will be televised. Whether the Big Game will be televised via web cam, a la "Live at the Bike," or will be turned into a regular program, such as "Celebrity Poker Showdown," I was unable to ascertain. I have a feeling that my informant knew more details than she was saying, but I wasn't quite cool enough to be put "in the know."

If anybody can fabricate some more details that will make this story sound plausible, please let me know. I'm thinking of saying that Bobby and his wife will be playing. Or maybe I'll just have them acting the part of gracious host and hostess.

i really hope this is true. it will be so great for poker and of course the players will be paid to play in the big game as they did for high stakes poker on gsn which is great for numerous reasons.

I really care little for the poker gossip. I would like to verify some other vital statistics and facts however.

1. Did the hooker have real breasts or manufactured ones?

2. Were you also "cruising the Baccarat Bar"?

3. What type of dress was the hooker wearing?

4. What type of dress were you wearing?


I think the gossip you heard is plausible. But gossip tends to ratchet up the further down the food chain it tumbles - Especially with all the excitement over TV poker and big players and other such silliness – it is ease to see that much can be overblown with a single suggestion or off hand comment by some bigwig. Or even a smallwig.

I remain, as always, skeptical.

Televising the big game will bring in more fish I think, or atleast bring whales in more consistantly. Probably would be a +ev move for all the players.

3.a. Was she wearing panties? If so, describe.

3.b. Did the "carpet and drapes match?"

I highly doubt they're going to be taping this game every single minute it goes. There will still be enough room for the players to engage in whatever tax shenanigans they usually engage in.

1. Did the hooker have real breasts or manufactured ones?

Either they were real, or she needed to get her money back.

2. Were you also "cruising the Baccarat Bar"?

No, not at all, I just happened to notice that we were wearing the same outfit.

3. What type of dress was the hooker wearing?

A little black one, with those tasteful five inch heels that have the straps that wind up almost to the knees.

4. What type of dress were you wearing?

See the message of the Harmoniums.

Come on, time for a reality check ..... the really poker-savvy hookers at the Bellagio hang out in the Sports Book Bar directly across from the poker room entrance .... or so I have been told.*

Me too. He probably gives out free TruePoker condoms to hookers to help prevent the spread of AIDS and other STDs. What a great guy!

Great guy, hell! That's a genius stroke of marketing strategy! His "expenses" are all reimbursable/deductible! And he gets credit for his humanitarian work, too. Nobel prize worthy? Jeeze, whatta deal.
