steal a car, go to vegas, get a hooker, play poker, sale car and take a bus home.

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"!

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!!!

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"

[mindermatter]

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

some very good advice in here, lol, I like potfan's recommendation...personally, I'd just go snowboarding

Just remember to save enough for a bus ride home. Being that it is your first time, I would also suggest not drinking (at all, or at least not when your playing) Also cash games can be very lucrative, so I would try one out. Bill's has 50c / 1.00 if your looking for a cheaper game. and there is a little Irish themed casino further up the strip if you head north (same side of the road). I just cant remember the name right now. They have a 1-5 spread limit game. Basically there is only one $1 blind and the raise can be up to $5 per raise, with a max of 4 raises. Whatever you do, check around, there is plenty to offer, don't lose your head, and be careful. Good Luck!
