from his blog...

"A game spontaneously started in one of the rooms at about 3.30am and by all reports it was a very good one. I walked in at 10am and it was down to 3 people…. Antonio Estfandiari, Phil Laak, and Nelly. As I write this, it seems crazier than it did at the time…. I mean, it was Phil, Antonio, and Nelly. Nelly is far smoother than any poker player could ever hope to be, and he’s somehow a master with chips."

WTF does this last sentence mean?

master with chips = good at chip tricks?

i guess Nelly plays some in St. Louis casino's. I think the games aren't any bigger than 2-5.

Nelly is a balla yo

i took it to mean he can do fancy chip tricks

I don't think he plays in the st. louis area. Isn't there some stupid law like you can't buyin for more than $400 or something like that. When I was there last year thats what they said at the BJ table.

I have had a few friends play with him but you are right the stakes are real low.

Dear God I hope Laak said something lame like, "Giiiiive meee twoooo purrr, I neeed twooo purrr."

And then Nelly pimp-slapped Esfandiari for being such a cracker.

the story about Phil Ivey forgetting he had 700k with him was pretty classic.

He plays frequently, but not on weekends. Usually like monday night he rolls in about midnight and has some fun. He isn't even that bad. His friends are awful, and usually broke.
