Vegas trip recap

Hi guys.. awesome trip.. got back a couple days ago but came home sick cause of lack of sleep. so its been delayed.

left the 13th from Detroit. arrived in vegas at 930. stayed at the imperial palace. wore my "I love hot moms" t-shirt case any other covers members were hangin there or oshay's that night.

only thing on our minds were poker and more poker. went with 1 buddy no wives/gf's.

played 1-2 nl at inmperial for a couple hours till a tourney at the golden nugget started at 1am. lost 40.

played the 65 buy in at 1am and i won it.. with my buddy goin heads up vs me. (pics on my facebook)

then took a cab back to imperial at about 6am. played 1-2 again and hit a monster...

i had 5-5

flop j-7-5

hit trips and checked a guy bets 30 into a pot of bout 16.

2 peeps call including myself.

turn is a 2.

buddy bets 40, call then i raise to 80. went call call.

river a 5!!

hit quads... guy bet i went ai and i got 2 callers.

guy had jj and the other 77. thought for sure it was an online hand.. i took a monster pot and also got 75 for a highhand bonus. after that hand i went for a TIMEOUT. 2 hour nap.

backing up a bit.... while playing cash game at binnions. (really classy poker room.. awesome comfy chairs) a guy hits a pot for almost 400 playing 1-2. (also i am always chatting it up at the tables, asking where people are from and wierd facts about canada just conversating and enjoying myself) anyways. he hits a 2 outter on the river for almost 400 and i said better throw the dealer at least one of those red chips ($5) he gives the dealer $1. i said man you gotta tip bigger then that. he says he doesnt believing in tipping more then $1 no matter what the size of the pot is. I said are you crazy! one buck you won. 400 he goes on to try and justify that its ok to tip a buck. a few at the table are annoyed by his bs reasoning and tell him that they live for their tips. he goes on to saying that he understands cause he is a waiter ( he was from wisconsin), we sarcastically laughed at him cause its like slapping his own kind in the face. 

back to the other items we did. ate at a place called the hashhouse (i think) im the imperial palace. service was slow as heck... portions were rediclious. burger was a full pound. no offense to america but if these are the portions no wonder there is obesity. (hey im bigger too). rated that place a C. ate at ellis island A+++. amaing food and rediclious prices. i was giving bigger and bigger tips everytime i went back. a steak lunch was 6.95 and it came with a beer. larry has been to vegas a bunch of times so he knew where the best spots were. Also stopped at the pawnshop where the show "pawnstars" is located.  met Chumlee and had a pic with him. (ill make it my avatar for a while) the old man is as cranky in person as he is in the show. and |Rob the owner drives a bentley. had like 16-19 hours sleep in 5 days so that why i havent reported earlier i was sick for a few days. but it was worth it. if i remember anything wlse ill put it down here also..

hope u enjoyed the read.

mike.

Agree.  And I tip well (depending on the dealer).  Bad form to call someone out for not tipping enough. 

A trip to Vegas isn't complete without at least one steak dinner at Ellis Island and one trip to In-N-Out Burger.

I agree that you shouldn't call him out, but that is your prerogative. If it had been me, I'd probably have told you to GFY, though.

Quite frankly, it is none of your damn business how someone else tips people, it is THEIR money.

If you play poker to win $ then you dont tip $5 every time you win a pot.

If youre playing poker to "be cool" and "act baller" then you tip $5 every time you win a pot cuz it makes you look cool

When the dealer deals the 2 outer against you does he throw you $5??? Is it my fault his employer expects ME to pay their salary?

No and NO

Thats why I feel tippping is PURELY a personal decision. Im already paying a ridiculous amount in rake to play live, now I have to give out MORE money cuz I won a hand???? no thx
