On a funnier note, here's an entry from Dr Pauly's Tao of a Poker Blog:

"Last night after I completed my work for the day, I played at the Bellagio. I sat down for two hours at a $8/$16 table... I sat next to the "cool guy toughster" who sported a barb wire tattoo and wore shades at the table. He looked like a total idiot but was actually a nice guy. Always get to know the person sitting to your left. Ask plenty of questions if you can. The better profile you can come up with, the better your chances of knowing if you have a fish, a maniac, or a rock sitting next to you."

Haha.. if I didn't know better, I'd say the guy was sitting next to White. But, it's not like White has played the 8-16 game at the Bellagio recently... oh wait.

So I got my MGM offer in the mail yesterday... Weeknights for $60 weekends for $100. 2 complimentary buffets and $50 in gaming chips (I called the hotel and they are not good for the poker room)

The offer is good thru December 29... So fellas, anytime you guys wanna go away for another weekend, I'm game.
