I'm a little bit torn. I really would like to sell timeshares, and you can really make good money doing that. I know that appearance means a lot in terms of getting those jobs, and I am overweight. I think I may lay low and lose 40-50 pounds over the next six months, and it may improve my chances of landing a sweet job like that. But I don't know, maybe that's stupid. It's not like I'm terribly obese, but I am noticeably overweight.

Don't trip buddy I'm OLD, FAT and BALD !

Isnt it a bit scary being out there by yourself?

I would not know what to do without my better half. Kind of depressing.

Still same # Illini. I'm off on Friday's and Saturday's. If you get a chance stop in Sunday, play in our tournament and we can chat.

That's why I respectfully suggested getting a job right away. Co-workers make quick friends, poker tables do not.

It's definitely scary. But it's easier when I think of the people 10 years younger than me that are getting sent off to Iraq. I'm sure any of them would love to be alone in Vegas.

Illini,

Good luck to you, enjoy Vegas. Go to that strip club across the street from the Golden Nugget and tell that half Hawaian/half Puerto Rican stripper that I miss her! Boy, she made my night nice.:hump:

Well Best of Luck to you.

Make sure you check out the bellagio poker room.

The 3/6 limit action is INSANE. Pots over 50.00 like every hand.

Just play tight and you will come out way ahead.

OMT-Wow, it has really been a long time since we've chatted. I hope you are doing well with your health. I have no plans of being a poker champion, and don't even play much no limit. I just grind and play 3-6 or 4-8. I really don't know what I'm looking for. I'm looking for more, but like the U2 song, I still haven't found it. I guess I will search until I find peace, wherever that takes me. But it's good to see you, and thanks for the well wishes.

That song by U2 is one of my favorites. I get chocked up everytime I listen to the words. "I still haven't found what I'm looking for". Have felt that many times throughout my life. Think we are never completely satisfied. It should be that way. Sure hope you do well. I know that you will. You have the character and the desire. Do what you love, the money will follow.

Illini: Best luck ! Playing 3-6, 4-8, I'd think $10-15/ hour is about as high a goal as you could reasonably have. I guess that's enough at 80 hours/ week, but like everybody says you'll burnout quick.


I hope you have adequate bankroll for this mission. I hope you make it work.

Good luck Illini. Do not underestimate the sharks that are trolling at the Bellagio.

No sharks trolling the 3/6 there.

That I can assure you.

Some of my alltime favorite lyrics in this one.

Who's to say where the wind will take you?
Who's to say what it is will break you?
I don't know, which way the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around?
Don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

It's summer, I can taste the salt of the sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me...

I'm a man, I'm not a child...
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes

Who's to say where the wind will take you?
Who's to say what it is will break you?
I don't know, where the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around?
I don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye

Little known U2 trivia...That video they shot downtown...that cabbie shown(parked across street from strip joint mentioned by spread) is noneother than Mr Fishhead. Downtown a fav for hacks, since at least you would get a long ride vs across street on Strip. I spent hours waiting right on Fremont...now of course only for pedestrians since the canopy.
