I thought he was smart enought not to fall for some old trick like that [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I was a little surprised when I read it, too.

Whenever someone you don't know starts talking to you unsolicitedly, it's best to pull that famous presidential move and point to your ear, shake your head, and keep walking.

P.S. The day I need to write a list of all the freakin designer clothing I am bringing on a trip is the day I go and get a job digging ditches somewhere.

proof that real high stakes players place no value on money

he dropped 1k to some strangers, that's freaking insane

But, uh, that's what I DO, man.

"Into fashion" or not, you don't think that list is a little icky? If you just HAD to have a list, wouldn't it say Two Pairs Jeans, Seven Shirts, One Jacket, Seven Pairs Socks/ Underwear?

Mine would. And I'm not even a Jabba The Hut Poker Schlub.

$1400 for "leather" coats? Must be nice not to care about throwing that away.

"Well now I'm starting to feel like I'm getting hustled "
boy, your brilliant reading skills sure were in tune there, Danny-boy....

I think everyone should start hitting up Danny now at every main event- bring t-shirts, socks, whatever.

I didn't see any hockey jerseys listed...

Save a shovel for me.

My list of clothes when I go on a poker trip (no matter how many days I am going):

1) 3 shirts (could be tees, sweatshirts, tank-tops, whatever is reasonably clean, i.e, no visible stains).

2) 2 pairs of something to cover my fat ass (could be jeans, shorts, sweats, whatever).

3) a handful of underwear

4) my lucky sneakers from Kinney's, $10.99.

5) an Iron City Beer hat, that I bought in the Pittsburgh Airport in 1995.

6) several assorted socks

One day I won a big pot at T-stone and tipped the lady dealer (who I had a crush on) a red chip. A older regular told the dealer something to the effect that "whenever a player tips more than the value of the clothes he's wearing, thats a good tip".

$1k is half a small blind for the game he plays at the Bellagio...so yeah, I guess once you play stakes that high, the meaning of money gets a bit blurred. Hell, it would be like me giving $2 to someone on the street.

I had that same scam pulled on me. I politely declined all the leather jackets.

Other famous scams:
1) The speaker scam- they overloaded the truck
2) Kids selling candy- but I'll still buy their candy
3) Magazine subscriptions- from hot chicks that never get sent.....I just gave them 2 bucks and said no magazines for me
