Normally Im pretty square and would give some pious and righteous sermon about doing the responsible thing.

But this time I agree with potfan42o, "steal a car, go to vegas, get a hooker, play poker, sale car and take a bus home"!

I think you meant "steal a car, go to vegas, get a hooker, play poker, get rid of car with dead hooker in trunk, call parents for bus fare home"

Since you are pretty much at zero, there is no harm in holding up a bank and going from there.

hahaha... BUT they told me to do it!!!

ya good plan. one downfall tho, no parents to get money from. thats part of the reason why im on ssi. anyways, i havnt played any live at all, and just micro stakes online. so this would be a pretty big step up to go play live for the first time in vegas!.. im thinkin ill just play tournaments and see if i can grind some bankage out of it.

Sounds like quite the adventure, good luck on whatever you decide to do, but ya thats a huge step. LIve tournaments are much different than online, you know this right. Especially in vegas where people who have much more skill than you

I disagree with this part of the statement. In my experience the players in Vegas at all but the highest levels are much worse on average. There are the occasionall occupational sharks, but most of the people are rubes who are just looking to gamble. I find that small town tourneys draw locals who really like to play poker and probably have in the past, but in Vegas alot of people are just doing what people do in Vegas, and that means alot of people at the tables who have no idea why they are losing money, and for the most part don't care, they expect to lose a certain amount in Vegas and someone has to accept it.
