An Unlikely VPFree 3-Way Parlay

#1

Yesterday was the 20th and last day of my trip to the World Series of
Poker. A week ago Saturday, I'd gone to the Palms for the VPFree
luncheon, but didn't see anyone I recognized, and so lunched alone.
Financially, too, the trip hass been diappointing.

Yesterday, however, the VP part of my activities improved both
socially and financially.

(1) Walking into Wynn LV to play poker, I encountered MR. and Mrs.
VPFree Administrator Emeritus. Their poockets and purse were stuffed
with cash from the dealt 10-play Royal they'd just hit. No, just
kidding; they'd opted to take a check. No, just kidding about that,
too. But it was nice to see M/M VPFree AE and thank them for this
forum.

(2) With two hours to kill before dinner and bedtime, I went to the
Palms to play the Deuces Wild progressive. Dealt J-T Diamonds, I
drew A-K-Q Diamonds for $1,277.75. AND, I was $100 ahead when I hit
it. I'm still a loser for the trip, but that helped my bankroll and
attitude.

(3) After several celebratory drinks, I stumbled into the Palms
buffet for dinner. Being drunk and also reading a magazine, I made
it all the way to dessert before the gut at the next table hailed me
down by name. It was Bob Dancer, there for dinner with Shirley. I
joined them for dessert and some interesting conversation.

Just one of those too-rare good days in the "life" of a serious VP
player.

The gut? How many buffets had he eaten?

REPLY: Drew is referring to the following sentence in my recent
post: "I made it all the way to dessert before the gut at the next
table hailed me by name."

That was a typo and "my bad." No physique critique of Bob Dancer was
intended.

Note that the "t" and "y" keys are right next to each other on a
QWERTY keyboard. Thus did "guy" become "gut." I was posting from a
Starbucks in Terminal D at McCarren. From the Starbucks seating
area, you apparently cannot hear any of the gate employees' boarding
announcements UNTIL their "final boarding call," which is broadcast
more widely. I heard that as I was typing the "gut" post. Fear of
missing my flight caused me to send the post without proofing it.

It is true that both Bob and I currently show signs of having visited
many buffets. :slight_smile: The typo wasn't a classic "Freudian" slip, but it
may have been something similar. I started my latest diet as soon as
I got home.
