I'll set the record straight. A bunch of us had decided to have our orders "Family Style" where everyone cuts a little bit off of each others order and share. We had done this at Lotus of Siam the year before and everyone loved it.

When the food was delivered to the table, Dante had Wilhelm's steak and passed it to me and told me to start cutting it so we could all share. Wil got up from the table and like you said, didn't say a thing. We all wondered where he went. He came back about 20 minutes (??) later and said he found something at the Gift Shop. I can only guess but he may have not heard us talk about Family Style or maybe didn't know what it was and wanted his steak to himself and when he saw me cutting up his steak he had to excuse himself. That part is only a guess on my part.

Well not saying you are wrong, but the Place served Family Style, and Yes we ordered like 8-9 dishes to share. Plus the Meatball salad apps...
anyway ... I think you and Dante were too busy to hear that Wil didn't want any Italian food because he said he had a bad stomach, and wanted to get a Steak for himself.
Seeing that the Steak looked pretty good, you guys picked up the Steak knife and started cutting... Nobody really knew what the hell was going on, and at First .. Nobody wanted to own up to Cutting the Steak... thus ... we got " Steak Gate "

It's all in Fun .... it was something to talk about at the time... and Yes, I did drag it on for Months, just to Bust balls
We did have a Great Time ... and would love to get another Bash together at some point.

There were some other Fun times when a few of you guys came over to the Mirage where I was staying.

Somebody wore Black socks with Sandals ..... or White Socks with Sandals ... to the Pool... but I won't get into that. :)

"I remember PO69 being short of cash on his person at the Bash two years ago at the Imperial Palace. About an hour before the poker tourney started he came up to me to enter but said he didn't have the $20 required to enter on him. He actually tried to sell me some hold card caps that were made to look like $25 novelty chips with Elvis painted on them for $5 each but I said no.

PO69 said he would be back later with the $20 (mandatory dealers tip all players paid to play in the tourney). I know he played in the tournament and lost but I have no recollection of him paying the $20 but he could have paid either Dante or Xpanda who were also collecting at the sign in table.

Later we came up one $20 tip short for the number of players who played (104 players were seated I think) but I cannnot in good conscience accuse PO69 of not paying the $20 without proof.


wil."

Who was there the time PO69 showed up, and was trying to bum some small amount of cash (like $30?) to get
into the small poker tourney that the group had put together?

Years ago a poker pro I got to know well and good friends with today told me this.....the guy who borrows 20 dollars, you will never see again and won't pay it back, so consider it a loss......the guy who borrows 20k.....always pays it back. Don't know if that theory holds up but thats what he says. In my experience.....most pay back but a few never do.

Wow!

And i thought the $6500 & $10k owed to me was a lot.

Thats a lot of money to me & not something i lent out.

One was a bettor i was responsible for & had to pay while the other was money owed to me for various things.

Both are from the forums...
