Guest post today from JamBasket, with illustrations by Julie It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally time to head to Vegas for the WSOP Main Event! As you may recall, I won a seat into this event via a freeroll back in December. I’ve played a few tourneys since then, but really haven’t put in any serious effort towards improving at tournaments. I’ve played many […]
Guest post today from JamBasket, with illustrations by Julie Travel Day As a WSOP Main Event freeroll winner, there are certain appearance requirements that come along with the fame, at least that’s what I tell my wife. As it happens, the WSOP Freeroll Council is holding an important meeting in Las Vegas that I need to attend. I really need to teach her how to call these […]
Guest post today from JamBasket, with illustrations by Julie I want to play a few live tournaments before the WSOP Main Event, so I booked a trip to Las Vegas to play a few events in the Wynn Millions. During the week leading up to my departure date, I really wasn’t in the mood to head to Vegas. The day before my trip was to begin, I […]
It’s been twenty-two days since my last trip to Vegas and this time I’m visiting for a very special reason: to the play the $400 Wynn Signature Series event. Yes, I’m being serious, and I have a good reason. You see, I won a seat to the 2023 WSOP Main Event through a freeroll, where I manhandled the field and I need to get in some reps […]
Larry concludes his guest post series today. It was at this time I rediscovered poker however, and my love for it. It started as a Thanksgiving holiday trip with the Filipinos to a small casino town called Wendover (pop. 6k) where Utahans go to gamble. I watched one of my friends turn $50 into $2k in the span of about thirty minutes on the blackjack table and […]
A guest post continues. Fast forward a year. I’m still shipping out-of-state. I’m going to court monthly under the defense of one of the best criminal attorneys my city offers. The ringleader of the robbery mysteriously passed away from an overdose and it seems all is forgiven on most fronts. The boss’s wife doesn’t care for me much anymore however, but I possessed the skills to grow […]
Today a three-part guest post begins. Hello, my name is Larry. I do many things, writing hasn’t been one of them since high school, but Chris, aka Persuadeo, asked me to write a piece. I owe him tons of Sklanksy bucks, so hopefully this’ll do. I am a member of The Back Room, Chris’s private poker forum, as well as the Poker Zoo, Chris’s even more private […]
A new guest post trip report on Las Vegas from TBR member Jason “Jambasket” Burge today, with more illustrations by Julie M., who appeared in Zoo episode 8. Travel Day It’s been 105 days since I last visited Las Vegas. Since then, I’ve maintained a couple of streaks: I rode the Peloton bike for 100 days in a row and haven’t had a Monster energy drink for […]
