I'm playing in one of the WSOP tournaments in Vegas in a few weeks.  If anyone wants to stake a piece of my buy-in, I will accept.

What kind of ROI are you predicting?

ive done the late night taj tournament two or three times.  not sure what nights but there were usually 75-100 people in them. 

Yeah, they ended up having 85, and I got busted around 41st. Rivered a full house after everyone was checking around, it turns out one of them flopped a boat. Mother farger.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Played in a little home game last night.  Bought in for $40, left with $160.  I am not using my winnings to stake Matty in the WSOP.

Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

yeah but not much.  it was final table top heavy. everyone at the final table won at least a grand, winner got almost $5000, but i got just a little over $100.  kind of doesn't even seem worth it but i busted with a suckout so i felt a little better. filled with murderous rage but happy with how i played.

Where was that tourny at Phatty?

phatty must be a hell of a poker player, every time I've been in a tourney, I never make it past halfway...but that could be 'cause I'm usually shtein faced 'bout then.

phattymatty

it was just on full tilt, not at a casino last night.

I need to learn poker.

I have no clue how to play.


Diomedes

me either.  last time I played, I kept folding my zesty hand when I was in the blind and didn't have to...

so i did not win my world series event but it was a farging awesome experience.  sat at the same table with a few pros and saw a whole bunch of celebs.  matt damon, don cheadle, shannon elizabeth and a shteinload more.  i lasted almost until dinner break and saw a bunch of people lose before me, phil ivey, moneymaker were the only ones i actually witnessed get busted. and came in about 700ish out of the 1900 that signed up for my day, over 3800 for the whole tournament.  which is not that good but it was still worth it. definitely playing again next year, hopefully with better results.
