Hey, found this site a week ago and have just been checking it out here and there and figured I'd go ahead and make an account.

I'm 23, male, and live on the east coast. I actually play poker for a living so I've been to vegas quite a few times but usually when I'm out there I'm so focused on "working" that I don't get to enjoy the nightlife much at all. Just got back from 3 weeks out there and will be going back in mid-July with a friend from home for a week of complete debauchery. This will probably be my first trip where the priority is just to relax, party, and drink so I'm looking forward to it.

Looking forward to interacting with you guys on the boards and maybe even out in vegas and learning all i can from all you vegas nightlife pros.

Welcome! Did you do any WSOP events this year?

Hrm... I wonder how many JC forum members here do pokerstars? Maybe could set up some games?

is it easy to go to vegas when you play poker for a living? dont you see a table and think I could kick these peoples asses and make money to pay for the weekend? thats what it seems like to me!

[chillin@thebellag]

dnix,
just gotta get comfortable with it, which only comes through playing and getting more experience under your belt. I started playing online at 18 and then went to my first casino at 19, I was very nervous and anxious at first until I realized that it's the same game just different environment and that I was just as experienced (with poker) if not more so than the others at the table. From there it's easy sailing.

kc2vegas,
thanks. haha, now you know why i don't drink when i'm out there and trying to focus on playing.

blibblab,
thanks. Yea, I played about 7 events. I'm primarily a cash game player as I can't stand tourneys most of the time but every once in a while gotta do something when there aren't any juicy cash games running. I may play the main event when I got back, not sure yet.

nyc2vegas,
if I'm understanding your question correctly, um not really, I don't really look at it that way. I mainly play online and take trips to casinos (be it in vegas, la, ac, etc.) to switch things up and if there are juicy games going on. I really don't look at it as a way to pay for a trip. And as I said, when I return in July it'll basically be my first time going to vegas strictly to party/gamble and with no intention of playing poker so I think I'll just take that hit whatever it comes out to be

Jeez, sorry this came out so long

And I didn't even notice there was a running thread for "intros" and the sort, whatever too late now I guess

AND hes gotta sport the AOD shirt!!!

[AKBoarder]

LOL, nice nice, something tells me he'll have one of those annoying FullTilt hats or some shit on though, hahhaha

[chillin@thebellag]

pretty sure I wouldn't be caught dead wearing any "poker attire" in my regular life

and you do realize that when you see people wearing those fulltilt hats or logos or whatever it's because they're being paid to do so right? it's not exactly about being fashion forward.

i have no clue what "AOD" is, and I'm guessing that's probably a good thing

So what's your primary game? HE? Did you play any of the other events, like O/8, Razz or HORSE? Did you play only in the NLHE events, or did you get some limit HE, too?

They tend to forget about not bringing alcohol and end up bringing a lot!
