We’ve been at the WSOP for six weeks now. We’ve barely stepped outside of the RIO. If we hear another bad beat story, we’re going to light ourselves on fire. Or light the person who is telling the story on fire. We’re not 100% sure, but we actually think Las Vegas has a law that allows you to light someone on fire for telling a bad beat story. It’s kind of like how you can shoot someone who breaks into your house for self-defense. They deserve it.
All hostility and spite aside, we’re looking forward to hopping back on our private jet, flying to New Zealand to load up on our yacht, and getting back in touch with reality again.
With that in mind, here are some non-WSOP related poker things we’re looking forward to in the last half of the year.
Layla Kayleigh. We’re going out on a limb and predicting that if the WPT survives another year after its move to the Game Show Network, that the fantastically-named Layla Kayleigh will be the first WPT hostess not named Shana Hiatt to come back for a second season. The WPT finally got it right with this one. Great accent, personality, body, face. Even if Steve Lipscomb’s press release about Layla was almost word for word what he said about Sabina Gadecki last year, we still believe Layla is a keeper.
Sunlight. Pretty much living in the RIO for the past six weeks, we haven’t seen much sunlight or breathed much fresh air. We’re looking forward to that yacht even more so than normal. But one thing that really strikes us after spending a lot of time in a casino is that there are a lot of ugly, pasty, chain-smoking, jean-short-wearing white trash who just freaking love playing slot machines. Just get us out of here. We’re losing it.
Spending time with family. Just kidding about this one. So funny. Can… barely… type… laughing… too… hard. Spending time with family… that’s grand.
Lucky You. After having its release date pushed back for well over a year, Lucky You will finally hit theaters… what? Seriously? It came out? What, was it in theaters for like two weeks? Oh. Never mind.
Amarillo Slim. Now we’re talking. A Nic Cage movie directed by Milos Forman about Amarillo Slim, appropriately titled Amarillo Slim. Might not come out till 2008, but this one looks like a poker player’s poker movie.
Spending the money we won. Can’t forget about this one. While the numbers might’ve dropped some this year in overall WSOP entries, that didn’t mean there were fewer fish around willing to empty their wallets. Our two favorite types are the over-aggressive-crooked-cap-kid and the stubborn-old-guy. The first overplays hands and over-commits chips pre-flop; the latter can’t relinquish any pair or piece they hit on the flop. Truly two of our preferred types of people in the world. This was our third WSOP and our best yet. Can’t wait to hibernate in the RIO for number four next year.
