Re: Custom Titles log.

I would like to keep my current title because Chris Walken said he'd step on my kidney with an old golf shoe if I lose it. Give a guy a break.

Re: let\'s get the facts straight: poker makes money

Good post, Al. A little ranty but none-the-less good. Poker makes money or it wouldn't be on the casino floor. Some rooms post better returns per foot than others, Bellagio being a case study of...

Re: Stud Action in Vegas

I played the Bellagio game and beat those misable old colluding, diaper-wearing sneeze jackets like rented mules. It's a terrible game. I love playing stud now-and-then but Vegas is a stud desert.

Re: Any tips for getting the most out of a stay at the MGM Las Vegas?

It's a nice place with a good poker room. I like playing there. Forget the monorail. They'll be tearing it down to sell for scrap metal in a year when all the condo developers go under and they need...

Re: Vegas: Not Getting a Room your First Night in Town

Why not just buy a nice condo when you get there. Offer a few dollars for anything near the strip and you'll probably get it. Soon, they'll be free.

Re: How\'s the Monte Carlo in Vegas???

I have stayed a dozen times because they treat me so well. Only once did I not like the room due to the pressence of a flock of turds next door. I then realized how thin the walls are at Monte Carlo....

Re: Where to find pros in LV?

I've seen "poker celebrities" at Bellagio a hundred times. I doubt you can snap a picture, unless you ambush them at the back entrance to the men's room, which could cause you problems.

Re: Played Poker With A White Supremacist Last Night

It's Vegas. They just started allowing African-Americans into the pool areas a few years ago, or is that something that is not widely known?

Re: Never Again - Planet Hollywood on Tuesday nights

Vegas Floor Staff: How Do You Toke?

How much and when do I grease my favorite floor people in Vegas? I play mid limits and the people at Bellagio, for example, take great care of me. What's the going rate for a nice floor person?
