Wanted: Framing Artist
When was MARGE 2008? Late April? @CaityCaity and I went down to the Beau Rivage in Biloxi, MS - I made about $10K playing blackjack and alot of $5/$10 NL. Stepped off the plane, drove directly to AC, and made another $3K playing $5/$10 NL and $4K playing blackjack in under 48 hours.
That was one hell of a week. A personal record. The reason I took the Vegas trip from hell and lost $30,000 in eight short weeks. Ever since that Vegas trip, I've been fighting with loans from friends and trying to convince myself that yes, maybe I still might know how to play this game called poker.
Two Fridays ago, I put a post up on my FaceBook page. Said something to the tune of "Travis is open to suggestions. What's good tonight?" Sure enough, one of the guys from the Baltimore game suggested I head up that way to play. So I did.
Wasn't long before I moved all-in with one card to come... and I was drawing dead, against a guy who had turned the nut straight. Oops.
Rebuy. In the game for $500+$600. If you were following me on twitter that night, you'd already know that it was a damned good rebuy.
Ran my stack up over $3K, lost $300 back before cashing out. All of the sudden, there was hope. Long story short, I lost $3.8K in the past 10 days... and still came out way in the black.
Having paid back all the much appreciated loans to my friends, I'm once again a free man... with some semblance of a bankroll, even. Looking to frame a $100 bill, encase it with some sort of "in case of emergency, brake glass" ensemble. If you think you're crafty enough to do this, e-mail or txt me. Compensation will be rendered, of course.
I'd love to toast to never going broke again... but we all know that it's only a matter of time.

maybe the fact that it took you 1.5 years to recover from that trip will be good incentive to not go broke again.
oh and i forgot the main reason i wanted to comment... check michaels framing dept near the turtle. if they can't do it, they can point you to someone who can. i've used them before and they are really good.
Trav you have all the talent to be a great no limit player and move up in the world of poker, but you are killing yourself playing games other then poker and playing in games above your bankroll (like me). I know I would love to see you succeed but you need to put the ego and the "other gamble" behind to take that next step. If you don't you may have some nice wins here and there but you will eventually lose it all back and be at 0 or worse over and over.
