My friend, I lived in Vegas for a while, I don't want to go there ever again, it destroyed my family.Quote:

Thanks. I've been to every major gambling spot in the United States, but this tournament has the potential to be the largest for me (and maybe the largest ever, period). There might be 20-25k people in it. I'm really looking forward to it.Quote:

They've really tightened up to protect tourists. I'm sure living there still sucks.Quote:

It depends, of course. I've been gambling pretty hardcore since I was about 16, and I am not addicted.Quote:
