10/30: Upcoming Trips...

“I come all the way to Atlantic City to see your Mugs…”

“Welcome to Las Vegas East…”

Well, not exactly. For the interim forum trip this year, Santi, myself, and hopefully the Superdonk will be venturing to Atlantic City. Seems fun and is shaping up to be a short but badass trip.

I, having never been to the East Coast before, have this mental picture painted in my head of what AC/Philly will be like:

Things to look for would include but are not limited too:

-Degen Pai Gow w/ Shifty where he will inevitably own the game
-East Coast Accents
-Lots of Italians
-Coffee and Milk
-Yankee/Philly Fan
-Deuce commenting on who’d “Get it.” And making advanced plays at 4/8
-People burning heaters one off of another
-Cursing
-Overall Hatred of People from the Left Coast
-Orange Faced broads from Staten Is. / Long Is. / North Jersey
-Turtle from Entourage
-Wrestling Talk
-Live MFK Game
-Shabba commenting on how gross a play was, and that he is “face-fucking” insert name of poker game here

I think that about covers it.

Oh yeah, there will be poker in there somewhere with the famed game “Johnny Lodden Thinks” and Limit Hammer throwing, etc., Now if only there was a Carnegie Deli.

The games should be pretty juicy so said Deuce/Rambler. I am looking forward to the ‘Pink Chip Game’ (7.5/15) and the 10/20 at the Borgata which has a spectactular room.

Santi and I are red-eying out to Philly Tuesday night, kickin it in the city of brotherly love to get steaks Wednesday, and then being politely chauffeured to the entrance of Harrah’s AC by Shabba. (Thanks again man)

So its only 2+ weeks away, woot.

And then a short 8 or so weeks after then we get back to the ol’ stomping ground of Southern Nevada where the ‘Sand turns to Gold’ wait wrong description but w/e.

Poker and Porn II will commence in the first week of 2010 highlighted by a great turnout which already includes:

Santi, Deuce, Shabba, Shifty, Reb, AC, Superdonk, Me, KL, Ahhhhst, and other’s still yet to confirm. I am sure that there will be long periods of bedlam involving busted hoes at the Convention as well as ridiculous antics at the tables.

PLO/LHE/O8/NL Mix game has already been discussed…It just needs a name…

More details to come on this.

Also I am posing a BIG question to the US readers involving a overseas trip. Would anyone want to me the man, the myth, the accent that is Doyle?

What do you think about a 2011 WSOP Europe Trip? Could be fun.

And a short side note on poker- I have played only 3 live sessions since Vegas, and have posted positive sessions all 3 times. I have been putting time into learning NL and have been playing 10NL online.
