acesfullof2s 0 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I just had a horrific run that culminated at the WSOP event 3 (PLO). I consider myself a very good player, I don't mean to brag but i've made close to 200K in online play this year alone. However, one of my big problems is nerves. I just get incredibly nervous during a live game. I hate to admit this, but during one of my first in person sessions a year ago, I had a panic attack and literally passed out at the table.I recently found a way to combat this problem, or so I thought. I decided that maybe a few drinks and a couple Valiums would calm my nerves- and boy did it ever! I started playing great in the casino, and I mean really great. At 400 NL i was easily clearing 5 grand a week. Well this "friend" of mine knew of my problem, and presented me with an interesting prop bet. He told me that if I took some pills, which he said were similar to valium, called dautra (common name Jimson weed), and qualified for the wsop then he would give me 7 grand and a separate buy in for a wsop event. I honestly BELIEVED this would be no problem, as my tolerance for drugs is quite high. I mean I was easily pulling all nighter sessions tripped up on some sort of combination of vaclium/liquoR/coke. At the end of 5 weeks, it was like i was playing sober. I knew this was bad, but how could I argue with the results?Well anyways, we get to vegas and me and my buddy meet at Bellagio. He says i have to eat 5 of these jimson pills, no problem I say. I eat down the pills, which tasted like crap, but manage to take them down. I felt nothing for a good hour, and was convinced my buddy was insane (he has made stupid bets like this in the past as he is a trust fund baby who does nothing productive with his time or wealth). Well I sat down for a satellite event ($1000 buy in) 10 person mini satellite. THATS ALL I REMEMBER. I regained consciousness 2 days later at event 3 of the WSOP. I APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE who witnessed my behavior at the RIO that day, as I literally could not control my behavior. I apologize to both the dealer and cocktail waitress who were verbally and physically assaulted. I found out later from the LVPD that I was very belligerent. At the LVPD station, I witnessed the security video from the RIO, and let me say it was very disturbing. From what I understand (the video does not cover up to the event), I started playing event 3, and actually made it a few hours. This was until I showed up after break with salad dressing (I have ranch stains all over my shirt) and started eating, yes eating, the poker chips. Next thing I knew my pants were off, underwear and all, and I was arrested.The RIO has since pressed charges, in addition to the resisting arrest and assault charges the LVPD gave me. I am extremely embarrassed by my actions and again I AM TRULY SORRY TO ANYONE WHO WITNESSED MY BEHAVIOR.Sorry,Greg S.ps: I am starting rehab Monday and promise to recover.

grocery_mony 8 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 poker chips are too crunchy for my liking. The pants and underwear thing is just your way of telling Harrahs to turn down the air conditioning. GL I hope you win a bracelet if they let you back in. Link to post Share on other sites

bigbrennan 0 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I hope this is a true story (some what doubt it) and that the video gets leaked to YouTube, I also hope Hellmuth is in front of him when the pant down action begins and states something like 'I can dodge a rocket baby'.

sandwedge 30 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Eating your chips is definitely -ev.I've pissed away chips many times, but have never eaten them and shat them away.Just wondering, what type dressing did you use? I would recommend Italian... the oil would help ease them down.A new definition of "all in" -- after announcing it, you must then take a crap on the table.thats all I've got.... for now.
