wil - it was great meeting u my friend...and we had a great conversation in between the end of the contest and the time we were picked up for dinner.. it was great discussing some things and getting to know u on a more personal level. Thx for taking time out on your days off to help with all the arrangements to allow 4 rx posters to have the time of their life down here! (also tell ur daughter thanks for the selection help at the restaurant.. it was excellent .. i expect her to post here as often as possible)
judge wapner - what more can i say about the guy... everyone already knows it.. but trust me this guy is a king down here.. and he gives and gets nothing but Royal treatment... and yes Vejo D, he claims U were the king here and way above his level at some point... this is unreal to understand as everyone seemed to owe this guy a favor, or want to do anything in the world to help him since he had treated them with respect and class in the past at some point....honestly Vejo.. if its anywhere near the treatment u give/get in Thailand.. schedule me a trip next week
.... judge was truly the best possible arriving tour guides we could have had. ----dinner and the "entertainment" as he put it... was off the chain, amazing. /i can now understand why guys come here and never want to leave....
Powers and Easystreet - WOW....its really all i can say... u spared no expense at making sure we had a safe and delightfully relaxing trip during our time down here...Powers was a excellent gentleman with class.. and his wife was an absolute Fox... wow is all i can say about that my friend
.... it seemed like every time I thought more money couldnt be spent in showing us a good time and making us feel at home, there was something else around the corner.... this guy and his company were making us feel right at home and inviting and planning things for us we didnt even imagine before hand. even just the little things like taking douglas and his wife to get necessities when they arrived... Rock made sure that every dollar was accounted for when buying things.. also went out of his way to help plan a nice event along with easystreet in which the contest would be guaranteed authentic, be very fair, and be exhausting as well.. lol (i litterally felt like a lab rat....if cory1111 honestly did stuff like this 2hrs and 16mins endurance competition on the regular for FUN, he would be considered mentally INSANE!).......Kim was also especially helpful and prepared a nice smorgess board of beautiful cut fruits and finger foods before the competition... I am also sure that boatbb and douglas' wife were extremely impressed that the ladies from easystreet went out of their way to take them shopping and out while the "boys had fun" playing their asses off in JOB VP. LOL
3 guys from RX - It was especially nice hanging out with u guys and getting to know yall and the wives on a personal and real level where we arent considered "Imaginary Friends" as Douglas' wife put it
I had a great time eating, drinking, gambling, and talking serious and shooting the shit with all of you. I would definitely make a trip some day to see each of you again sometime.. and that includes coming all the way up to new york to find out how real italian life is
bigbet - in particular....i definitely made a great friend in u bud....besides giving u an amazing run for your money in video poker (we were supposedly neck and neck entire time and literally within a pirates club hair from eachother in the prize money... congrats on winning the 10K bro... u came and succeeded as the favorite in the competition..
..... we arrived at the airport literally 2 mins apart and figured out who eachother as we were in the immigration line... lol of course i got yelled at and almost body searched after i tried letting 10 people pass me in line so i could let u catch up.. LOL / after that we had an amazing night at pirates club
.. what happened in costa rica will never be known for sure.. but i know for a fact we had a great time there as well as last night in the poker room as u flopped a flush against some other guys smaller flush and i sat there and watched u laugh all the way to the double up bank as u cleaned him out for the 2nd time that night... - mind u this was his FIRST live play in poker nl 1-2 cash game.. haha.. beginners luck? who knows.. we shall see today my friend.
AFTER U LEFT POKER LAST NIGHT- i managed to REALLY have a bad beat... the poker room has a bad beat jackpot and a straight and royal flush jackpot with different varying amounts depending on if u flop or full-board a strt flush or royal.... well the absolute last hand of the night i played, i had 57 clubs... and flop comes 846 clubs... i looked at my cards atleast 10 times before breathing... looked over at the board and seen it paid 1500 usa$----i thought omg i just won 2500 at the vp contest and now i flop a 1500$ straight flush jackpot.. lol .. i knew from experience before that i must have my opponent see the river to be paid on some type of house jackpot so i checked the flop and planned on checking it all the way down. LOL instead my opponent goes all in... i laugh and quickly call, immediately standing up as i rollover my straight flush and begin cheering for 1500$... WOOOOOOOT... right>? Sadly the manager comes over and translates the rules in super fine print on an adjacent wall that there must be at least 5 players in the hand for the jackpots to become eligible... of course with my luck this was the last hour the room was open and we were playing shorthanded poker.. LOL 1500$ down the drain... sadly this really stunk.. but it is what it is.... grrrrrr
Looking forward to making some money up in the room today/tonight... see anyone down there who wants to join us including the eog guys who were very nice to meet and seemed just as grateful as we all were at the experience and treatment from the day they spent with easystreet as well.
Thx again all the new friends and faces i met....it was a pleasure!....i have had a great time so far here and still have about 30 hrs left to enjoy myself... hopefully i can win some more money in the poker room or maybe lose some at one of the "entertaining bars" around town.. LOL
