  1. I have another fun fact...
  2. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  3. dub and that shot is awesome.
  4. It was good. Got in Thursday afternoon, took a Lyft to the hotel. Crockfords lobby has it's own entrance/lobby/bar/elevator. No wait to check in, lobby was really nice. Bar was also, we had a couple of drinks in there at some point. The lobby is very chill. Compared to the Conrad which is just a short walk, which was more 'lively' I guess. A lot more people there, had some music playing, had a nice bar, but a different feel or whatever. At check in Crockfords does his special welcome tea thing where the colors change when its poured. It was fine. They also give you this special "key" that works as a room key but also gets you 'special' treatment places. And you get to keep it when you leave. I think it helped my wife get a reservation at the spa on short notice and maybe a discount. It might have helped us get into the nightclub there one night, but I'm not really sure how busy it was. Staff was great. The room was...nice. We had a group of 14 there, half of us in Crockfords and half in Conrad. I don't think there was a big difference, for a 30% higher room rate. Don't get me wrong, it was really nice, definitely the nicest I've stayed at in Vegas. I've only been with friends, and we usually do Caesars cause of the sports book and location. (This was the wife's first Vegas trip.) We had a pool and Strip view (61st floor) and the wife really liked that. The hotel is at the far north end of the strip so you could see alot. Problem with that is that we really didn't want to walk down the strip much. Bed and bedding was very comfortable. I don't sleep well in hotels, but slept great while there. It was a standard room, but seemed a little bigger than the Conrad equivalent. It has a nice big smart TV, a nespresso machine, and a nice minifridge. Bathroom has big, nice finish out, big shower, towels seemed 'nicer' etc. So, yea, it was really nice, but not sure it was worth the increased price. It being EDC weekend provided some entertainment with some nice people watching while on the casino floor. We never had to wait on a craps or blackjack table ($25min). We had great interactions with the dealers. In fact, Saturday evening 6 of us posted up before dinner at table for a while, and I don't think I've laughed as much as I did with the 2 dealers that were rotating with us. Great staff/dealers throughout the whole place for the weekend. Wife said her spa day on Saturday was as good as she's ever had. She hasn't been to a ton, but has done some of the nicer ones in Dallas, She was there several hours and would have stayed longer but they don't serve alcohol there, despite attempts by the group. Sportsbook is nice, but small. We reserved a 4 couch set up Saturday with a view of the main screens and a 4 tv setup in front of us. We had a minimum $ to spend but with a group it was easy. They only had two of those, several high-tops and then some lounge chairs to reserve with minimum $ to spend. Staff there was great, app was easy to use also so make bets if you wanted. Poker room was also nice, but a little small. Nice tables and chairs, high ceilings, decent TV setup. Never had to wait long for a game even at peak times, and they had several games spread including a high roller area that had 300/600 mixed going that @TXSooner518 will probably hit up. They have this food court area with several options. Lots of asian fare which we hit up late night a couple of times. Everything we got was good. We had breakfast/brunch at two of the onsite restaurants (The Kitchen and Suns Out), very good. One dinner we ate at Viva, the Mexican food place there. We had a private room in the back. Food was really good, staff was great. Pool area is really nice. We were there for a large part of Friday. We had a cabana which was nice, staff was great, people watching was good. Tits were out, it was pretty hopping. Overall, we had a great time. The hotel/casino was good.
  5. and it was the rockets
  6. Absolutely not. Junior injects nearly every NBA segment with spurs bullshit. It’s annoying, cause he claims he’s an NBA expert or whatever, but he doesn’t really know shit except for historical Spurs info. And, yea, he’s not near Corby level with OU on air fandom, but he does it too.
  7. Great HZ segment about Haralabob
  8. It’s on the Spotify podcast feed if that helps:
  9. Exactly. What I’ve said all along. The Cato piece is bunch of bullshit parroted from Donnie.
  10. Yea, I had to laugh/eye roll when Junior said that this morning. The list HE was referencing was a poll of 100 college coaches. It's not fucking debatable if its THE ACTUAL COACHES RATING THE JOBS. Junior sucks so hard.
  11. Wife booked us at the Crockford this weekend. I hadn't heard of any of it before, but it was expensive as shit. I hope it's worth it.
  12. perfect new thread: feel free to add pics/vids. just didn't have time to do more.
  13. Let's fucking go. Roster: Luka and KP BFFs now Everyone loves Bobi
  14. good grief, given that read, no way I'm mucking KK there. You're right, just flat and let him barrel of every turn.
  15. He left too and opened Sunbird BBQ which is fantastic. If he opens it a few months earlier he is on the list. https://www.instagram.com/sunbirdbbq/?hl=en
  16. Alright boys, new thread title suggestions??
  17. First read through, I say raise flop. But, yea, the long tank is really weird. That plus the overbet makes me lean flat instead of raise. I think turn shove > calling. Calling looks stronger even.
  18. He got dropped too. I wonder what he said.
  19. Love the idea, fuck having them on there, agreed.
  20. I know just the guy. [mention]Estyne [/mention]
  21. Good on Cuban for rules to get in.
  22. First live poker in 6 months for me. Shuffle 214 in Dallas. 1/2, $335 effective. Villain in 1 seat 50ish Indian guy. I’m in 2 seat. Raising half his opens (always $12) never folding to a 3!, calls 45% of other hands. Doesn’t get too out of line post. But loves to take stabs at pots of checked to. Calls too much. Won a decent sized pot off of him earlier when I raise UTG and b/ch/b on KQxAxhh board. Previous hand villain lost a decent sized pot where he bluffed River and got called by 3rd pair. He was complaining to the guy, both regs here but he sounded have annoyed half serious. Hand: V opens $12 from MP (while saying steam raise) Hero 3! To $35 w/ TxTd. Table folds, V calls while saying “steam reraise.” Flop: QdQx3d, V ch, Hero $35, Villain $135, hero call. Turn 8d, V shoves $140, hero call. Hero image is rocky/tag. Only shown down winners but had a few post flop winners with DBs etc. Besides I should have raised more pre, thoughts?
  23. Jake and Ham's song was greatness.
