During the midst of my current and most recent altercation with Mr. Lederer, they've informed me that they will give me rakeback on my old Naismith account.Also, LOL at that HU battle last night. So depressing and then not depressing in the span of like 10 hands.

Name dropper . Is this a good (shareable) story?

Explain what those are please.

Explain what those are please.

Skype is a free internet phone thing (not actually free if you're calling actual phones).Team Viewer lets others see your desktop.So, railing/coaching/sweating is so easy. It's so easy I feel lazy doing it. So basically, it's ideal for me.

LOL. No story. I just use "Lederer" and "Full Tilt Poker" synonymously. They're just upset about the number of accounts I've opened in my lifetime.

well boys, I'm about to head out for a week's vacation in Central Maine where there is no internet, no cell phone service, and probably no TV. I expect to be well rested upon my return...oh, and engaged to the love of my life. Wish me luck you bastards!

Okay, not much gambling involved, just a lot of doing stuff around vegas and walking the strip/exploring hotels.We landed at around 7:30AM PST (meaning I won the coinflip). I tried my luck at some slots in mccarran, and quickly lost a dollar. We grabbed a taxi to the luxor and checked in, then decided to go and hit the strip. That turned into about a 4 hour ordeal, and being outside in high 90s/low 100s weather for 4 hours, turns out, makes you tired (coupled with the fact that we got up around 3). I took a quick nap and registered for the 4pm luxor tournament.Great structure btw. 1000 starting chips and 15 min rounds. Blinds at 25/50. No wonder only 10 people reg'd. First hand we play I get KK on the CO, and raise to 150. Button calls and blinds fold. Flop A high, I bet 225, he calls, so I have to check/fold the river. Down to 625. Next hand I play ive got about 500 left, and raise KQs utg and the table folds. Third hand I play at 50/100, guy raises in EP and I shove for around 600 total with QQ on the button, and he snaps with A3 A22 flop, and the dealer shakes my hand. I highly recommend this tournament.If you like terrible tournaments.We decided to have a few drinks and hit up some blackjack. We found some 5 dollar min tables at the monte carlo, and we all sat with 60. The dealer was vietnamese or something, her name was tracy, and our futile attempts at small talk were shot down by her terrible engrish. Did I also mention she offered free and loud lessons at blackjack? I had never really played blackjack for anything but play money before, so a few hands in I'm up about $10, get dealt 12 to her A, and double down. '"WHY YOU DOUBLE DOWN WHEN I HAVE ACE SHOWING? YOU WANT BUST?"So she deals me a 9, and then she turns over A3, and deals hereself an 7. Oh well. Over the next half an hour though, me and my friends just get absolutely rocked. My friend who is actually good at blackjack gets dealt nothing but 14s and 15s, and Tracy proceeds to go on a heater, and get like 20/21 every hand that she doesnt deal herself blackjack. My friend Pat gets dealt 6-8, and Tracy has a three showing. He's not great at blackjack just like me, and he says hit. "WHY YOU HIT WHEN I HAVE 3 SHOWING? YOU WANT BUST OR YOU WANT ME BUST"So instead he stands (since you have to do the hand motions for hit/stand to make it official), and she turns over 10-3, then deals herself a 7. Bye pat. I'm the last one standing with about 15 dollars. I put it AWWWWW INNNNN and get dealt K-Q. She obv has blackjack, we say thanks a lot tracy and she ignores us. During the time we played, another guy sat with 5,000 and did 200 dollar bets. He went broke before I did.We head to La Salsa something and get a 2 ft margarita with extra shots. We do a few shots of cabo wabo and sip our margaritas. We head back to the luxor, and I'm pissed that I'm not drunk. I sit at some 5c slot machines and try to get a few free drinks with no luck. We hit up mcdonalds for dinner, even though I wasn't hungry. My friend pukes up his uncooked chicken, and I can't even get through a double cheeseburger and fries. Turns out I was really really drunk, but was more tired/exhausted and didn't notice. We crashed early our first night.We got up around 9 and hit the pool. Major babe lifeguard who we tried to guess the age of. One of my friends wanted to hit on her but all he could muster that day was to ask her the time. She didn't have a watch and there was a huge pool clock behind her (facing him), which she directed him to. lol. We grab two buckets of beer and chill there for a while. Now it's time to travel to the infamous in-n-out. We walk there in the 105 degree weather, in what appears to be the path of the letter Z. There's this ****ing intersection that says NO WALKING the way we need to to get to in n out, so we have to travel 3 intersections and it ends up taking like half on hour or so to get there. Totally worth it though.We head back and hit up the cheap video poker slots to try and get some free drinks. No work again. That night we went to go see Anthony Cools at the Paris (hypnotist) who was an A+ act. He made some guy think his ass was on fire when he played the johnny cash "ring of fire" song, and the only way to relieve it was to scoot his ass on the stage like it was toilet paper. He made some guy call someone on his phone every time he heard his own name and tell them "Hey, just wanted to let you know, I suck dick for wooden nickels." and hang up. He called his brother and best friend, haha.Afterwards we had a few more drinks and went to a few more hotels, before deciding on getting some 40s from walgreens. We played some **** the dealer in our room, and I got ****ed hard. After we finished our 40s, from what I'm told (i don't remember), we went down to the luxor casino and finally got some free drinks at the video poker machine. I wake up with a pounding headache and Amber tells me that I passed out on the floor. She tried to get me up, but instead just hit my head really hard into the wall. Great.We hang out at the pool (my friend gets super-rejected by the lifeguard this time, who turns out to be 17) and go shopping for a bit, have some jagerish bombs with Amp and jager. Me and Amber head to the Improv at harrahs and see two hilarious comics and have some pina coladas/glasses of wine. We stumble from there to the Mirage where my two friends are waiting for us. We decide we want to find some more 5 dollar BJ tables, but at night the min as 10 almost everywhere, and the ones with 5 are full. We have a few more beers and head to Mandalay. There we find the "eye candy" which is a nice looking club playing a mix with 90s remix songs. Everyone there is like 40+. We get a nice waitress and I order a white russian, my friends get a jack and coke, a martini, and a vodka sprite. WE hang out and talk for a while, my friend orders a cheap scotch, I get another white russian, and amber and pat decide my drink was superior. Me and chris get up on stage drunkenly, and do nothing but the dice roll move for a few minutes (thanks Seth Rogan), and then we get the check. 8 drinks, by my count. $157 bill. BUZZZZZZZKILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLINGTONWe hit up the video machines, I sit at a blackjack one and win a dollar over seven hands. I decide I will stop so I can tell my friends I won just as many times as I lost in vegas, Amber gets lost somewhere trying to find a bathroom, and my friend goes on tilt and puts the remainder of the money he has on black and doubles. We cash out and head back to the hotel. That about wraps up the trip. We head back in the morning with giant hangovers. If I have once piece of advice, burger king (although delicious) is not greta hangover food in the mornings. The worst party though were the $10+ breakfast meals at the airport. Our flight gets a 30 min delay, and the last half is turbulent as ****. Also not great for hangovers.Our ride from the airport has an unexpected additional passenger, so I lose nose goes and get shoved in the back with the luggage and a scooter.And that my friends, is my first vegas trip.

sounds like you had fun, maybe I should teach you my secret to BJ sometime... (just win instead of losing)

Ok, an interesting story:So my friend is having a party at his property which is essentially a 60 acre field surrounded by woods with a long driveway. There isn't anything up there but a firepit and some chairs. Nothing to steal, nothing to break, nothing to get into. Me and another friend head up early (11 at night) to start the bon fire and set some shit up (beer pong table, ice the beer, etc.). I drive a little car, which is nothing that will go up this driveway which is bad even for like a sport utility vehicle. So I park at the bottom and start walking up with my friend. There is a house right next to the driveway, and as we go by (with our flashlight out carrying a blowtorch and some other shit) this neighbor who we can't even see yells at us, "WHO IS THAT UP THERE!?" My friend answers back, "Kevin and Colin, we're friends of David!" The neighbor now yells, "Hey, I called the cops and they're on their way! Also I'm calling Tom (David's father) to see if you're allowed up there!" My friend screams, "Awww what the ****!"After this, we feel that the party is already sort of ****ed as there will be cops all over a field party before it even begins. So we just wait (there isn't any beer there yet, nothing wrong, etc.) for the cops to come so we can explain we're going up to set up a camp fire which our friend David who owns the property will be coming to shortly. The cops don't come, and we're there for a few minutes smoking cigarettes halfway up the driveway joking about how stupid this is. Suddenly, shit hits the fan.The neighbor who we haven't even seen to this point sneaks out of the woods behind us with a pistol and screams, "PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEADS AND TURN TOWARD THE ROAD." Uhhh, wtf? My friend shines the light to see where he is. "DON'T SHINE THAT AT ME, SHINE IT AT YOURSELF." Jesus christ. "START WALKING." We start walking toward the road, me still puffing away on a cigarette. Um? "THAT'S FAR ENOUGH. SOMEBODY SHOW ME SOME ID." My friend tells the dude he doesn't have any, and the guy asks me. "THROW ME YOUR ID." "Ok, first of all sir, it's pitch black, and I'm not throwing you my wallet and watching you lose it, so if you want it, you're going to have to come and take the hand off. Second, I'm taking my money out of it first." "...Ummm FINE, WHATEVER" the guy says as he jumps over the ditch and onto my friends property (now he's trespassing, the exact thing that he is holding us at gunpoint for what he thinks we're doing) and takes my wallet. He reads my name with his phone light as if there is some magical inscription on it telling him if I'm a thief or not. We both look at him while he does this and ask him why if we were thieves or criminals that were in need of an armed escort while the police arrived would we hang out after he yelled that the cops were on the way. He doesn't answer and instead just ignores us continuing to study my ID. Cops still never show up. Finally my friend David shows up and clears the air, saying we were there for exactly the reasons we said. He apologizes and says that they've had a bunch of burglaries and vandalisms lately. We again ask why, if we were criminals, we would be hanging out smoking after he supposedly called the cops. He again doesn't answer and eventually just walks back to his house and says goodnight. We ended up not ever really fearing for our lives, but were ****ing weirded out by some dude holding us at gunpoint for like no reason other than that he must sit on his backporch all night and wait to see trespassers on his neighbors like fielded property. Also, the sneaking up on us part and telling us not to look at him while he held a gun was mega ****ed up.Brag: Got threatened with a handgun by some vigilante.Beat: Party sucked after this.Variance: I'm thinking of pressing charges in the AM for assault, especially after he trespassed after thinking we were trespassing to hold a gun to us for like 10 minutes like some disgruntled retired police officer looking for a case to crack. My friend David doesn't really want us to though since it's his neighbor. David isn't one of my closer friends though, he's really more of my friend Kevin's friend. Kevin is way for pressing charges though. I think I should anyway before this guy shoots some kids for no reason up there sometime. Thoughts??

LOL at nearly 200 bucks for 8 drinks... when I fill out those bills, under tip I write "tip: don't charge 30 bucks for 2 shots"As far as the woods party thing, unless you were legitimately scared he was going to shoot you, don't press charges. No need to **** somebody over just because you can. Now, if you really were scared but want to sound macho or w/e, pressin charges is coo bc you shouldn't ever have to fear for your own life.

There really wasn't any fear between either of us. My friend was just repeating "You're going to get sued. You're going to get sued. You're going to get sued" while the guy was looking in my wallet, but he just didn't acknowledge him. It's strange though. If you called the cops on someone you think is trespassing, why would you then go vigilante and try to apprehend them yourself? Also, my friend was wearing a bright red KFC T-shirt. I mean, you'd have to be a moron to think we were thieves or something.

LOL LOL every post priceless.Like two years ago I ran up tons of playchips on stars. I think I had like 450,000 at one time and played in the "highest stakes" play money games IIRC. This took like a whole summer (and seemed like the most fun ever at the time). Just thinking about it now, there were regulars at these levels, but what kind of people would be grinding playmoney? I know I did, but I did move to real money soon-ish, but I reckon some of the regs would still be there.I kind of get I suppose. You'd still be moving up and playing with no gambling, and those "high stakes" games seemed pretty though at the time, so there would be a challenge. Also good stories guys.
