Roosterman ‘Supercoachâ€™ Fittler doesnâ€™t know how to lose, not only that but he also doesn’t know you spell the word Cat with a C not a K…

Hi, got a suggestion for the home page, how about displaying the current time in Vegas. Would be very convient for us out-of-towners to know, I’m lazy ,you can work out daylight savings!

Joe,
The dream’s alive, ‘Supercoach’ Fittler doesn’t know how to lose (2-0), If we beat the storm, we’ll make the semi’s.

I actually hit a hard 8 for the dealers at the 4qs on my last trip. One of the dealers pointed me out to a CW and she took extremely good care of me the rest of my time at the table.

A couple guys used to work dice at the REAL Binions and I recognized them in January at Casino Royale. Musta gotten the shaft during the buyout. Way to move up in the world boys! You deserve it for how hard you hustle tips from the players.

In other news, Chapter 4 is now posted. The boys hit the Hard Rock and meet the ever intriguing Chantel. We should play count the TAI references. This chapt. ‘s is real easy if you listened to last week’s shows.

I’m usually a 20% guy in restaurants (but love to leave a 25-cent tip if the service really sucked) and a few bucks extra to the cabbie. Dollar-a-pot in the 1-2NL or 3-6 LHE games unless just stealing blinds, and the occasional buck or two tip in the table games usually in the form of a bet.

I just HATE being hustled for tips in various places. I like to give a good tip where none is expected – like the ten-spot to the mechanic who services my car or the twenty-spot to our kayak guide in West Virginia (another career for you Dutch!), but I can’t stand it when the hand is always out. $11-$12/hour does not make one rich, but I don’t feel obligated to give them 25% of my bill for crappy service because “they depend on tips for a living”.

Patch, I’m 100% with you on your tipping strategy. I don’t tip on taxes and I’m not fond of generous tipping after bad service. It doesn’t happen often, but if someone asks why I didn’t tip what they were expecting, then I simply explain that the service was below my expectations as well.

Talking about room service, I’m a fan of leaving $5 or $10 in an envelope for the housekeeping crew every day. It’s probably just about the same amount I’d leave as a “lump-sum” at the end of my stay, but I find it helps keep the level of service high in terms of cleanliness and turndown service.

fyregirl, I think you’ll find most of us listen to the shows. And I doubt you have to ask if we’re open to answering questions… we’ve got an awesome community full of fun and successful Vegas know-it-alls who are probably quite happy to oblige

Hello boys, how are you today? I just wanted to chime in and ask a few questions. Most of the topics you discuss are things I have knowledge of and if I was curious about something are you open to answering the questions of an amateur?
Second approximately how many of you listen to the shows?

Dutch,

Uhhh, that was quite apparent from the beginning. Quite refreshing. You’d do well down here in Fennville. It is a Be As You Are kinda place, without the pricetag of Saugatuck but only a six mile ride to enjoy all that jumpin’ town has to offer. Seriously, in ten years of living here, I have never seen Saugatuck as jam packed everyday as I have seen it this summer.

Play for Sunday:

Cubs -153 over D-Backs

Ok, I’m back in the black and hoping to stay that way. Zona stole a win yesterday after a late inning breakdown by Chicago, but I don’t like their chances today with Petit on the mound. He’s a guy that rarely makes it out of the 5th inning, and with a line up as hot as the Cubs are trotting out there, it could be much earlier.

Record:+102

In regards to the poker tournament, that is most definitely a go. It will more than likely be a monthly 1 table sit n go on Full Tilt. It will be for play money so we don’t have to have to deal with the bullshit, and a prize will be awarded for the winner (that is if you can beat Dutch and I! ahem…). Anyway, we’ll be starting a sign up list soon and awarding seats on a first come first serve basis. First one should be in August, but you never know, we’re bad at planning things.
