Day 2 - Thursday, March 12th
I woke up at first around 8am, but saw Night still sleeping so just went back to sleep. I think I noticed him get up around 9am, but I didn't care and kept sleeping lol. I ended up waking up eventually, but from the trauma from the night before, I was somewhat reluctant from hitting the tables. I probably should have just gotten up at 9am and joined Night though, in retrospect.
Instead, I stayed in the room for a bit reading A Game of Thrones, by George R.R. Martin (awesome book omg) until one of my RL friends arrived from SFO. I texted Night telling him what was up, and that I was going to meet up with my friend Ben. I met up with him @ the Lobby of Treasure Island, where my two freinds and I would stay for the next two nights (last friend was driving from LA later in the night). We had some lunch @ the lobby cafe, discussing what we should do for the rest of the day. We decided to pay Night a visit @ the Wynn poker room (he was getting mega coolered, 2nd nut flush vs nut flush, etc), then go to the Gun Shop to shoot some goods. The Gun Shop is a total ripoff, but damn it's worth it anyways lol. AK47 is honestly boring, and the shotgun is awesome imo.
We were just talking a lot and somewhat being inefficient with time, but we had decided to save most of the exciting stuff till my last friend, Gordon, arrived. By the time we got back to the hotel it was nearly early'ish dinner time, so after we did some iphone yelping, we decided on the Wynn buffet. I knew Night was famished after sitting at the poker room for like 8 hours, so I dropped off the remnants of my lunch club sandwich and fries, which he pleasantly shot me a text msg saying tyvm  , which made me happy since I was kinda unsure about giving him my leftovers.
And so we went to the Wynn buffet. Ben wanted to give playing poker a try, but I knew he had zero real experience playing the game properly, so I was protesting. In the end I looked up Tien's 6max guide on 2p2 on his iphone and told him to read it and I was explaining some basic concepts to him (position, playing tight and why, etc). Anyways we feasted on the food and generally complained about it as well (lol), finding that the quality was one notch below that of upscale restaurants, but agreed that as a buffet it was exquisite (since most buffet quality sucks or is at best marginal). We sat there for a good two hours or so, as Ben struggled to get a proper Adios Mother Fucker made for him at the bar. He ended up actually writing down the ingredients for the waiter to deliver to the bar haha.
Eventually Night joined us and we moved tables, where he explained his mega bad beat where he hit his flush on the river 3way(i think), but the dealer didn't see that the 3rd player hadn't acted and the card got burnt and shite like that. Night can explain further if he wants but basically the dealer fucked up, and Night didn't get paid off with his aggro image when he finally connected. Overall, day of bad beats for him  . As we sat there eating, Corwin shot me a text message, and he told us that he'd be joining us soon too. So we ate/talked for a bit, till it was decided that we were to go the the Rhino. And so it was to be.
And so begun the epic freeroll train of the night. But debts are made to be repaid, and there will surely be a day when I'll be returning Myth, Peachy, Mannercookie the favor in the distant future.
Before we headed to the Rhino, Myth gave us a primer on how to deal with the sick stripper hustling at the club, what moves sto make when and why, etc. Without it we would be doomed, and I am grateful for his words of wisdom. In summary: "Fuck them lol!".
As we made our way in (Corwin was rightfully irked that his usual seat was already taken), we were immediately attacked by a pack of 3 girls - all scantily clad and some of them frightening in appearance. They were aggressive and out for blood. Corwin just talked to all 3 of them at once and brushed them off, noting that they came in a pack b/c their skill was low and by attacking from multiple angles and inexperienced Rhino patron would find it difficult to say 'no' properly to all three attacks. I noticed Night and Ben whispering to eachother, then about a minute later realized what they must have been talking about. The girl on the left had a hideously disfigured butt, dramatically jutting out into the space behind her like... like... an overhanging boulder on a cliff. It was epicly revolting, especially from my angle where it looked like she had a giant Lego block stuck to her ass (I had a 45degree angle, whereas Night and Ben had a 90 degree angle, where the view wasn't as disturbing but still sufficiently unnatural).
Crowin's words would ring true in my ears throughout the night - if a girl comes to you and does not start with "how are you doinggg?" or "Hi what's your name~~?" etc, then just fuck her. If they aggressively come for your dough, well fuck them. And it really was true, and after about the 3rd or 4th girl it really just became comical how bad some of the girls were and how tactless they were. On the other hand, there were some sick hustlers out there, who'd just talk with you for 20 mins then come for your money. But hey, they obviously know what they're doing and ffs damn they're experts.
We were eventually joined by Peachy and Leah (the poker conceirge girl who was blogged about in Doomer(?)'s blog). Peachy's expressions are priceless I tell you. You'd never know he's the hero he is if you didn't know of him beforehand. Peachy actually called Myth when he was right behind us, b/c Myth had told him we'd be at his 'usual seat', but we weren't  .
I honestly wasn't interested in spewing money to strippers, and was content to just drink and chatter away with everyone. "The game" with desperate strippers was comical and amusing, while the conversation with the gang was always intriguing. My RL friend Gordon eventually arrived, and eventually got megadrunk lol good times. Later, the party of Mannercookie + two guys he met live - Mike (who looks identical to Daut) and his buddy Steve - arrived as well and added to the sweet, sweet choas.
I struck up a converstaion with Steve and I ended up talking to him the most throughout the night on a variety of subjects that I cannot seem to recall, ranging from poker, to college, to vegas life, career, financial stuff, etc. To be totally honest, I have to say that the converstaions I had with people was the highlight of the night, rather than the strippers. Myth was a gracious host, as I noticed that he was laying low and making the others a priority before his own exploits. Didn't really get to know Mannercookie much, so hopefully I'll have a chance to chat with him next time I drop by.
Time flies. We leave at 6:30. Myth, Peachy, Leah, Night, Me + my 2 friends head to Cafe Bellagio for breakfast. We eat, Peachy loses the credit card roulette (run good one time), and we split. I end up going to sleep around 8am, with another uncharacteristically wild day behind me.
