    Ok , so couple hours later - Here is where I stand -I logged onto stars and got into a support chat with one of thier reps. They told me that I could use western union . Fantastic . I got this crazy email saying I needed to send money to this Chika in San Jose, COSTA RICA . And to make sure that the western union reps didnt convert my USD to Peso. Cool. Went to the local grocery store , and up to the customer service counter where they do Western Union. Filled out the paperwork correctly , and I mean I scrutinized to make sure this Costarican chick's name was spelled correctly, because apparently success of this transfer hinders upon that. Got all my receipts and paperwork in front of me from this process. Back at home, after I gave 200.00 to the western union woman , I had to enter in my MTCN Number, which is like the code to unlock all the $$.So I put in the code , and I get a message saying Pokerstars will now verify that I made this payment. I will receive an email notice with 60 minutes. 24 minutes go by and I get this : "Hello JimmyAcesUp,We have not been able to validate your Western Union transfer in the amount of $200.00.An email with further information will be sent to you shortly.Regards,PokerStars Support Team"SON OF A BITCH. Im currently out 200 bucks and havent received this mystery email yet ..

    Small world. I heard you talking with I think the two seat about DN and was gonna ask if either of you were FCP but I think I was in a hand at the time and then forgot about it later. Guess I owe you a drink too. :)So far I've played in 3 MTTs in Vegas and I've had FCPers at 2 of them that I know of.
    Yea that conversation was brought up by seat 3 , who was a dude from Toronto who plays in the red hot poker tour or something. I only got involved in the convo because I thought they might have been FCP too .. lol small world.

    Back From Vegas *long* Trip Report

    So , I got in last night about 2am after my return flight had been delayed 4 hours. Weak.I stayed at the Monte Carlo from the 14th-17th , and this was my best vegas trip yet. That damn poker room , is the easiest 1-2 game in town. I swear , drunk old guys folding when they have the option to check , stacks of cash, all I had to do was wait for big hands. Anyways, a short recap of the fun I had : 15th - We played in a mtt at caesars palace . I dont really like that room much. Its huge, and bland. Nothing really cool but the boxing pictures on the wall. I lost about 50 in the 1-2 game there before the MTT started. Busted out in the 3rd level , fiance final tabled it while I had to go sit in the sports book and watch baseball. From there we taxi'd to Venetian to go see this amazing room. I didnt like the room at all. I didnt play there, but I didnt feel like it was what everone made it out to be. So, I ate at some expensive restaurant there and decided to go back to the monte for a nap and some 1-2. Sleep til 9pm, get down to the game around 10, and played abc poker til about 5am. At first, I lost 150 after putting a guy allin after the flop with QQ and him showing 10 10 and rivering the spade flush. I smoked a cig, shook it off, and reloaded. Recouped my losses after about an hour or so, and chipped away to about 700 in chips when the game finally broke. Wierd place, the game doesnt last passd 4-5am , and then the room is empty til about 11am. 16th - Decided to head over to the Bellagio to see if I we could satellite into one of the wpt prelims. My fiance hadnt been there yet, so I wanted to show her the poker room and let her have a look at the high limit games / players. They were running satellites for 440+60 I think , for the 3k event the following day but I decided against it. I played in a 240+20 satellite into the 1080 + 20 tourny that bellagio runs at 7pm. Its like 50k Guaranteed , pretty sweet. Top 2 places paid a seat , I finished in the top 2 yay go me. 7pm : Got into the tourny , chipped away ran pretty decent, picked up AA , over played them with 3 hearts on the board , and went busto when I commited half my chips on a check raise on the turn , guy moves all in , i call , he has flushie. I am so pro. haha I even got a chance to seek out and say hi to PartyPsux ... That dude is cool and very humble and was happy to see someone from FCP. Very cool kid . I know theres another thread going on about Shieky , but I did see him at the high limit area in bellagio , not bobbys room .. and he was fighting with someone back there couldnt see who it was. He was slamming his hand down on a food cart the restaurant had brought him, pretty funny. Jen Tilly isnt pretty IRL . Clownie looks like a skeletal Alien up close. Phil Laak has tiny hands. I played for about 2 hours in the 2-5 at the Bellagio. **** that game . Its a whole different animal than what Im used to. For some reason, I feel focused and comfortable about my reads / plays at the 1-2 at the monte carlo , but at the 2-5 , I was getting pushed around like a little ***** and never could recover from it. To see a flop in that game, cost around 25-60 dollars ... at the 1-2 at the monte , flop cost was around 7 to 25. I got moved off AQ AK 10 10 in the 2-5 , and my stack was around 150 , from 300. I picked up 88 , and I guess the guy on my right had seen like one or two of my hands that I had been moved off of, and when I stuck in a 30 dollar raise , he raised me to 100 , maybe figuring he could push me off whatever hand I had. I was pretty annoyed with my play and decided that 88's were good enough to put the remainder of my stack in with, so I did, and he was annoyed and said "I was tryin to get you to lay it down" , and he didnt wanna call , but he did and showed 77 .. I flopped a boat , and my stack was around 400ish now, so I said **** it .. took my chips and went back to the monte carlo. As soon as I got back to the Monte Carlo , I felt at home and comfortable in the game and ran my stack to around 6ish before the game broke for the night. Went to sleep after getting room service. LoL , speaking of that , they have this food court there at the monte ...... I ordered a footlong BLT sub in a combo from subway .... 16 dollars. For one meal , cracked me up. Im staying downtown next time. 17th: Travel day , I had about 5 hours to spend before flew home. It was 11am , and the poker room STILL didnt have a 1-2 game going. I went and played let it ride , lost 100 . Played Roulete , lost 100. Played blackjack , lost 100. Finally , a game going on ... sat for about 2 hours before I had to go. It was so damn fishy, but frustrating because I couldnt get cards to ply with these guys. Finally , I picked up K 9 HEARTS. Now ,this is where it gets weird , lol . Stay with me .. There was this really annoying , asian chick that was one of the better players at the table. She had been picking up cards and beating on the newbs at the table, so needless to say I was a bit jealous. I was in the 1 seat, she was in the 10 seat. I was BB , she was SB. Everyone folded to her , and she bet out 10 bucks from SB , I called. I had been playing pretty tight , where she has been pretty lag , so I was hoping my tight image alone would represent a big hand. Flop is A :club: 10 :D 10 :D She Checks , I bet 25 , she takes a moment and calls. Turn is : J :D , she checks I bet 40 , she takes a moment and calls. River is : Q :D she checks to me. so basically theres 4 to a royal , everyone at the table is very curious in the hand. Ive made a straight , but Its absolutley a terrible hand here. I basically think that , she would have bet on the river , if she had the K of diamonds. A small amount if anything, At this point I think she may have two pair or maybe a straight , low flush .. but I think I can push her off with a bet on the river. I put out a 77 dollar bet , and she immediatly says thank you for not putting me all in , like shes going to call ... she thinks for a sec , postures up over the table like shes about to turn over her hand , and she mucks it. As she mucks it , I turn up my K 9 hearts, and for a sec everyone saw the red king and thought I had the royal flush ... but I didnt, I just had a straight. She immediatly grabs her two cards from the muck , turns em up ..Two black queens . She laid down a QQQ1010 boat lol . I took the pot , and took a taxi to the airport. All in all , this was one of the better trips I took out there . Thanks for reading

    So , Plane was delayed an hour out of denver , that sucked. Im staying at the Monte Carlo , pretty nice play. (Iusually stay downtown)Within the first 2 hours, im at the little monte carlo poker room playing 1-2 nl 7 handed .. (short tables) . Let me say this first , www.allvegaspoker.com was correct in the assessment of the play hereat the monte. Its weak and there are some serious ATM's in that game. I bought in for 100 and cashed out 3 hours later (frombeing tired) with over 400. Not bad. On the last hand , my fiance soon to be wife, doubledup on a JJA board , some guy moved in on her with AK and she called with J J , good for the quad jackpot of an additional 300 dollars. So sick. We played some roulette too, and hit our number black 29, each had a 1 dollar chip on it and 1 chip surrounding all corners. That was nice , bought in for 50 and cashed at 125 minus the tip. One thing im not used to : I ordered a footlong BLT on white from subway, 14 ****ing dollars for a combo . I'm off to the bellagio today to buyin to the prelmin event , wish me luck.* this keyboard sucks , one of those 5.95 a minute on your hotel TV with wireless crap. FCP

    Interesting point - Id like to follow up with a story of my own.Last year at the Binions I have playing some 1-2 no limit. I had just bought in 30 minutes prior, with my fiance and my best friend at the same table. This young kid , dressed like a gangsta showed up acting tough and running his mouth. He hadnt even played a hand yet. Well , from that point one I allowed myself to play not with my head, but my ego. I was going to bust him. First hand the kid plays, he raises it up to 15 and I have 66. This isnt a strat post, so im going to leave alot of the details out. Eitherway, I thought to myself he probably has something around AK or what not. So , I didnt say anything but popped it back up to 40 and he calls. The flop completly misses me , but I move all in and say " you aint got **** just let it go " , he acts hurt that im playing so hard against him and is confused as to why Ive singled him out. Regardless , he calls and shows AA .. im embarassed as hell because I wasnt playing poker with my head, I didnt like the fact that this brash young player with an attitude sits down , now I gotta show what a tough guy I am , cuz I have my fiance and best friend with me ..Regardless the turn brought a 6 , and I busted him and he immediatly got up and left. I was fortunate in that situation because it was really ****ing stupid of me to play like that, and I vowed never to do that **** again.
