If You Like Pina Kahalua's, and Getting Caught In the Mud…
This blog is not about poker. I'm not that vain. It is much more important than that. It details what poker has allowed me to do with my life. Places I've been. Experiences I've had. People I've met. Things I've learned. Who I have become. I write this for me. I post it for you. To encourage those to live, love, learn and grow.
It gets folded around to the me on the button and I make it $300 to go. Dan Bilzerian, a good friend and fellow Victory Pro, shoots me a look as he folds the small blind.
"Torelli-O."
"Mr. Blitz."
"What are you doing next week fuckwit?"
"Going to Hawaii for 2 weeks with my girl."
"The Swedish girl?"
"Lina, yes."
We are playing 25/50 No Limit Holdem with a 200 ante at the Bellagio. It's midnight on Saturday. I ran down to the Bellagio without any intention of playing, but I saw a lucrative game with a belligerent cowboy from Alabama and couldn't resist. I scrounged up $25,000 (rich friends) and sat down to play. I positioned myself next to my good friend and Victory Pro, Dan Bilzerian. |
