5 Days in Vegas - $500 Into $5000
October 29, 2007
Early tomorrow morning I will be hopping on a plane to celebrate my little brother’s 21st birthday with him in Las Vegas. It should be mandatory that everyone turn 21 in Vegas. You only get to do it once, and Vegas is the only way to do it right.
In between the Vodka-Redbull fueled debauchery, there will certainly be some live poker played. I must admit, I’m not the biggest fan of live poker. I love everything about playing live, except the turtle slow pace. When I play online I get in anywhere from 600-1000 hands per hour. Dropping to only 35 per hour is like being sent to stay with your senile Grandpa in a retirement home for a week. Luckily most live players play like that senile Grandpa, which does a lot to make up for the pace of the game. Even with the fish factor and studying for tells, live poker leaves something to be desired. Don’t get me wrong, if online poker went away I could play live for a living, but I’m going to take rolling out of bed and playing online poker in my underwear over playing in a casino every time.
Instead of just hating on live poker I’ve been thinking up ways to spice it up during this Vegas trip. What I have decided to do is have a little competition with myself. What I’m going to do is attempt to take $500 and turn it into $5000 over the 5 days of my trip. Anything is game for the competition: poker, casino games, sports betting, even getting a job at the Bunny Ranch.
I also figured I’d involve my readers in this so, if I fail to do it I will host a $500 freeroll poker tournament for all the readers of this blog. Hopefully having all you guys cheering against me will be motivation enough to get the job done 
Feel free to talk as much smack as you can, I can handle everything you can dish out… and then some.
