Why would you get dinner for 2 and get a hooker?

(You didn't question $180 for a "Hooker"?????)

Seriously, a hooker costs way more than $180.

That depends. If OP presumes that a Professional Poker Player lives with his mom and gets a minimum wage, he is free to presume that the player in question will get the ugliest, oldest, fattest "minimum wage" hooker that he can afford.

As a Texan I take offense. We kill a lot more prisoners than that.

No, the dinner for 2 is dinner for you and your partner in collusion. You split the hooker, $180 and $180, and team up on her.

WTF is up with these numbers? -

I've been to Vegas 3 times - and never saw costs like these - I THINK you're joking, but I'm not sure..

here's what I have done most times -

Consider the cost of a weekend playing poker in Las Vegas:

Flight: $213
2 Nights at Imperial Palace: $150
Taxi to/from airport to the MGM (where I tend to start): $20
Sun. Nite Dinner $10
Bar: $20 - but mostly in tips for the freebies I get at the poker table
Monorail Passes: $5
Monday dinner: $10 - (if I'm at the Mirage, comp'd food at evening shift turnover)
Various Other Food/Snack/Drinks: $10
Long-Term Parking at airport: $5 - (actually, that's light rail/bus to and from airport)

Total:$400ish

There's a reason I can afford to go to Vegas once a month...LOL - Jesus...no wonder everyone's in shock I do it that often if they spend that much....fruck.

From the Imperial Palace I'm in easy walking distance to Mirage/Bellagio, and a short distance away from Wynn - (believe me, better to walk then to drive/park there, trust me)

also, due to my schedule, I'm usually there between Sun-Tues - (work Wed-Fri and an occasional Sat.) - Vegas between Sun-Wed is quite reasonable and the games are still mushy soft.

Even if I post a loss on the poker trip, my overall expenses are so low it can be a monthly endeavour and not be an issue -

Maybe Poker players just love their momma's? Or maybe they play so much poker they can't stay married and so don't need a house of their own but still need a good woman to take care of them? I wish I could live with my mom. Unfortunately my dad lives with her, and it would be crowded with my wife and sons. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Hooker: $180

I collected those hooker trading cards that they pass out on the strip a few weeks back, and I could have swore some of them were like $44.

If you're paying for it, you don't need to pay for the best, save some of that money for the doctor visit.

I didnt read your thread, or any of the responses. But i thought i'd take this time now to issue a cheap shot at Piz0wn0r3d!!!111.

He claims to be a pro. his bankroll is so tattered though that he is currently moving out of his apartment so he can go live with mommy and daddy again. cause that way he doesnt have to pay rent, or take care of himself in any manner. Hes 23.
