Good luck out there Doobs.
+1 I hear that it's a flat rate for taxis to the strip now so long-hauling not really a thing anymore Ah that makes sense. I looked up half way there and it said $29, and was thinking it seemed a lot for not far. It then didn't change and was thinking was it a set rate. Think it used to be about $20 or $40 if long hauled, so with cost of living $29 isn't bad if only to get rid of the awkward arguments. Yep, flat rate dependent on zone. I think there are 3 zones, south, mid and north. Click to see full-size image. |
Guess 29 is after tax, though might just have misheard? Koval and the strip are both snarled up this week, so went to the right on that picture past some stadium. In other news there is a great big sphere in the view from my window, which is a new venue at the Venetian. Guessing the stadium was the Thomas and Mack Center? The MSG sphere is a giant black hole of a money pit from what I hear. I think there is a fuel surcharge at the moment for the cabs - $2 if my memory is true. Read it on another Vegas forum. Would explain your $29 fare. GL in the O8 today!

Sad day for UK poker.
Micky was one of the legends on the UK tournament scene. As Tikay said, a bit of a rascal, but always had a grin on his face and I don't think I ever saw him upset at all. Came across to me as one of the nicest guys on the circuit as well.
RIP.

Hopefully it doesn't affect future invites, and chat pros know the grand total of feck all. Them and people like Persson aren't helping the high stakes scene, why would people want to even try and play in these games? Much rather play lower games where any old Joe Public can turn up and not get as much abuse from unsavoury characters like Persson and Airball, who are clearly compensating for something GL in the Commerce and don't let the skint beggars on the rail get to you!

Saw the cumulative results but havent had chance to watch the full stream yet. Gotta ask though, given how the game played and your vpip at the end being the lowest at the table, is this gonna effect you being in these games in the future like some muppets were saying in the stream comments, or are you still good to crush? I imagine this was a one off for you as you know about giving action

Jeez. I looked so young back then. Start of my updating career that was.
At what point (time on video) did you appear? I somehow missed you. I'm stood behind Julian when he is presented with the trophy. Very fleeting appearance! Roughly 1:23 for a second and 1:38 for 3 seconds
