Indeed a good time. Thanks for putting me on the invite list. All
great people to hang out with.

My body hurts today from some overindulging this weekend, including
another 24 beers yesterday at the MGM poker room. The flight went
pretty quick though. I am a little sore from the back spins and the
worm at the Black Jack table.

Great time.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I agree w/ 4$, thanks for allowing this lone texan
to hang with you boys. For my inagural trip to vegas it couldn't have went
much better unless I had been that guy who put the $100 chip on 13 and hit
it for 3 large. Overall, I had a blast and know that if any of you are in
my neck of the woods feel free to call me up. We don't have any casinos,
but lots of golf courses to spend time at.

See ya'll later,
Jason

Ship It! It was a lot of fun. Thanks to all the ubertilters for letting a
non-poker player like me be an honorary member for 1 weekend. My boss also
thanks you for the fact that I am stumbling around in a sleep-deprived fog
this morning.

Hey guys,

I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you all for a fantastic bachelor party weekend in Vegas. It was all I would have hoped for and more! It really meant a lot to me to have virtually all of the boys that I care about together and celebrating my impending nuptuals. I was so happy at the way the group, which contained guys from 3 or 4 separate circles of my life, quickly blended together and became friends.

Some special thanks:

1) To Chris Whitener: Thank you for setting up the Friday Dinner at The Range. For me, it was one of the true highlights of the trip. Despite the 6 (or more) crown and cokes you had at dinner, you managed to still execute on a perfect celebratory meal. And the added touch of getting Ronny Range to come over and provide entertainment (I'm still not convinced he actually called a girlfriend from Downers Grove, but whatever).

1a) To everyone for their generosity in not allowing me to pay a dime for the Range dinner. A very special touch, from a group of guys that, unless I am mistaken, were ALL down money gambling at that point of the trip!

2) To Scott and to Fons: Thanks for consistent, unrelenting comic relief throughout the weekend. From Scott's story about getting check-raised on the river by a 75 year old grandma who just hit runner-runner quads, to Fons' Alaskan Trooper hat and attempt at the worm at the Party Pit, you guys kept me in stitches all weekend.

3) To Jim: For some of the organization you applied, and for setting up ubertilt.com and the live blog. All of this made the trip more enjoyable to me, and I think most everyone. The setting up of the site, and the email distribution list, got everyone to start getting to know one another before the trip even began. And the blog got many of us putting up random thoughts throughout the weekend! Thank you for doing that.

4) To the poker Gods for two hands that I was fortunate enough to witness, and not be a part of: (1) Hutch, holding AA, flops top set on AJ5 board, only to get 1-outered on the river by a guy who hit is quad jacks. (2) Jim's still occasional attempts at winning with Krablar (K3) getting thwarted again. This time, he held K3 and the opponent, who held KK, saw the board come AJ3, 3 on the turn, giving Jim trips, and the one-outer K on the river. So Jim's 33KKK was no match for the KKKKA of the other guy. Both of those were so fun to watch unfold!

5) To the Harrah's Party Pit: For obvious reasons!!!

Thank you all again for a fantastic trip. I know that it was asking a lot to come with me to Vegas, and I am still floored at having a large, and diverse group of guys as we did. Despite the probably 100 beers I had over the course of the weekend, I can honestly say it'll be a weekend I never forget!

Thanks again, and until next time.....


....PAI GOWWWWW!!!

In a real "I wish I had seen this" moment, Scott told us about how he got check raised on the river by a 70+ yr old grandma and then, 5 minutes later, was then offered Pot from a big black guy wearing a shirt that said "Got Felony?".

Clearly scott had trouble with pots of all forms.

I've rarely seen tilt like this. Huff 1-outs hutch in a $5 tourney and hutch, calm at first, decided he was on tilt when he said "I just had to think it through". He walked away and I haven't seen him since.

I have J10 and open for 150 (blinds 25/50) with 1200 behind, one off the button. BB calls.

Flop is 8h9h3s. He beats 100, I push. He thinks for 30 seconds and calls. What does he have????

His hand......

















KdJh. No hand, no draw, outside of back door straights and flushes. Someone please explain this one to me.
