Hit & Run

For most people a 'hit and run' is a car accident where a driver hits a car/person and drives off, for a poker player it is somebody who wins 'hits' against them then leaves the table before they get a chance to win it back.

Now I have a new kind of meaning for hit and run by a poker player. During this years trip to Las Vegas I heard a story of a guy who was having a drink at a bar when one of the 'Vegas girls' approached him (hookers). She drove him back to his hotel in a brand new sports BMW and then went up to his room. Being quite cautious when she was in the bathroom the guy hid his wallet and valuables and took out the $300 that the girl agreed upon and left it on the side. She left the bathroom and he went inside, when he came out one minute later the girl had gone and so had the $300! So he got fucked alright, what a hit and run!

From stories you hear being a prostitute is often a dangerous proffession, I am sure in Vegas it is a lot safer than most places. Beggars belief that the girl will take this kind of chance on cheating someone. What if she bumps into the guy again, is the $300 worth it?

I try to avoid Vegas girls as so much trouble can come attatched with them. I know that one guy from team Betfair was charged with rape in Las Vegas this year. He took a hooker back to his room and then saw blood was all over the place and guessed it must be that time of the month, he said I am going to clean up I want you gone by the time I am out of the bathroom. When he left the bathroom she was gone.....soon after the police were banging on his door and he was arrested!

Paul who works for Betfair dealing with V.I.P. customers was on the scene as soon as he heard. Considering the amount of people he has to look after he does a great job. He arrives to see half of a floor of the Wynn taped off with a police guard looking like something out of C.S.I. When he asks what is going on the policeman fails to assist and gives it MOVE BACK FROM THE SCENE SIR. Paul gets some more information from the hotel security and asks why the policeman is being such a wanker. The next morning the guy is released with no charge, the girl must have previous for doing the same thing? I believe she faced a criminal charge after that. On the way out of the police station the policeman asks the guy 'sir what is a wanker?, somebody called Paul called me one according to the hotel security'. The security had obviously told the police, luckily the wrongly accused was quickly aquitted.

I have also heard stories of people going to downtown strip clubs and getting robbed. Lots of people will not heed warning and can't resist temptation. To those who can't resist the temptations of some strong perfume, long hair and silicone in their face just be careful.

I said two days ago I was going to post some hands up that I think demonstrate great plays by players but I haven't found the clips yet. I have ten minute clips with the hands in but I want to shorten it down to just the specific hands.
