Like many poker players,Thinking Poker co-host Nate Meyvis is spending time this summer in Las Vegas playing cash games and events at the 2015 World Series of Poker. Here's the latest from his time at the tables.
Las Vegas is less a vacation spot than an alternate universe. When I call a Vegas hotel from home back east, there's always some surprise when I get an answer, as if I'd managed to call up Mars, or 1985, or somewhere colors have all been replaced by their complements, as in a photographic negative. I have a hard time imagining an after-school job at a Vegas casino or 9-to-5 employment of any sort in the city.
