Need a little time to reflect upon my 3 days amongst the luminaries, dignataries, and other random degens at the WPBT, 2009 Edition. However, I did figure I would run through Pauly's check list after the fact to see how I did at a high level.
1. Cut back on sleep immediately. I never sleep well anyway, so this was not a problem.
2. Sip, don't chug. Does sipping really fast count as chugging?
3. Water and Motrin are your best friend. Tylenol, check. Water, probably could have used more.
4. Bring a cell phone charger. Check.
5. Take pictures. FAIL
6. Ask before you post pictures on the internet. N/A
7. Speak your mind and stay in the moment. Mission accomplished, hopefully. Level of assholedness to be determined by peer review.
8. Understand that it will be impossible to spend quality time with everyone. Obv.
9. Don't be Gigli. Is final table Gigli?
10. Never underestimate the importance of a $20 tip. FAIL
11. Food is fuel. The tank seemed to be getting pretty good mileage out in the desert.
12. Wear comfortable shoes. Always.
13. Bring a watch. That's what cell phones are for.
14. Keep your gambling bankroll separate from your other cash. Other cash?
15. $50 bills are bad luck. Natch.
16. Avoid the slots. There are slots in Las Vegas?
17. Don't tell people at your poker table that you have a poker blog. I don't really have one, so not a problem.
18. Bring a jacket and sunglasses. Jacket was a good call. But doesn't one need to actually see the sun to need glasses to defend against it?
19. Never burn the locals. Just 2/4 LHE donkey poker. Nothing too bad.
20. Don't get rolled by a hooker. There are hookers in Las Vegas?
21. Avoid hangovers. Stay drunk. Check and mate.
22. Get off the Strip. STEEL PANTHER!!!
23. Don't die. Month isn't over yet, but it didn't happen in Nevada.
And there go another 5 minutes of your life you're not getting back...
