Poker 4 Sale
And Some Services Wanted
I like to troll Craigslist every so often for some hot, anonymous NSA poker action. Not looking for games — there’s no shortage of ’em here in LV — just wanting to take the pulse of what people are pushing related to poker. Look at the ads all together and you get some interesting tells on the state of the poker world and its semi-anonymous inhabitants:
There are a lot of chips , tables, fancy custom tables and chips and tables for sale, of course, and for $15 a made-for-TV WPT video game. WSOP: Tournament of Champions for the Playstation goes for $8
For $150k you can have documentary footage of the rise and fall of Jamie Gold.
More chips, from the Aladdin, and from the Atlantic City Playboy Club. “Omaha Table” from Sante Fe Station.
Perhaps frighteningly, there are even poker bots for sale. At least one suspicious reader is questioning whether or not this is legal.
Remember seeing ads for 24/7poker shortly after the UIGEA? They have apparently gone out of business … and you can now pwn them for $25k.
Another defunct site wants $150k.
Poker domain names for sale for significantly less.
A new online poker room is looking for hot chicks to help them stand out among the better-established competitors at the WSOP.
And perhaps coincidentally, three presumably hot chicks have a room for WSOP players in a nice house for $200/wk.
Or for the same price, WSOP players can stay in this beautiful RV. Hey, if it could be parked in the Rio lot, might be tempting.
Or…
We are looking for 6 women age 18-25 for a cable/dvd reality show shooting in Vegas this summer. You will be living in an amazing house for two weeks along with 5 other girls and 6 guys. The show is a cross of World Series of Poker, Jackass, and The Real World. This is a cable/dvd show, it will be more “R” rated then most network shows (drinking, nudity, etc…)
PokerNews is looking for WSOP interns.
Rounder Magazine will also be at the WSOP … but they’re just looking for hotties.
A 37-year-old real estate broker-online college student-newbie poker pro sees sharing a Vegas high-rise with a model-like babe as a matter of good bankroll management.
One of the top play-chip players in the world/on MySpace — and he’s willing to sell his entire play-money bankroll for $800.
This guy is looking to sell real Full Tilt money, so he can pay his taxes. Kinda sums up the 2008 political debate about online poker, no? Would it or wouldn’t it be a better world if you could simply initiate a transfer on Full Tilt directly to “Uncle Sam”.
A guy is desperate for $300 — and thus is selling art, a poker table, and an ammo can.
Sweet stereo system, won in a poker game.
Hundreds and hundreds of baseballs, branded with Absolute Poker, in search of a good home.
Two pros seeking $20-200k worth of backing, just in time for the WSOP. This guy is looking for something similar, but for NBA betting.
A player wants a certain dealer.
A dealer wants a certain player.
Awesome …
ALL poker players are sore losers and the worst people and tokers (rude, no toking asswipe idiots)
I’ve been dealing 21 for a long time and every single time some idiot from the poker room finds his way to the pit there’s always a problem. They are all sore losers, rude to the dealers and the other players, shit tokers if they toke at all, and they always try and run all the shit they are allowed to do in the poker room past the 21 dealers. And they all do the most annoying thing known to man – every one of them shuffles their cheques…over…and over…and over again. Like it’s some badge of honor.Listen up all you poker fucks – keep your rude, sore losing, no toking asses in the poker room where you belong. I’ve watched you assholes do little kid shit like spill drinks on purpose to get a new deck and bend the cards so they’re useless. You idiots should keep away from the pit. Oh yeah, and fuck you.
Awesomer …
Fat Slob – but very rich – seeks stunning knockout for Vegas Trip – 50
After suffering a bad beat at the tables, some like to shake off the tilt with a good-ole-fashioned gangbang. Others, when hitting a royal flush, want to celebrate with a bisexual threesome. And at least one “ultra high stakes amateur” (still) wants to have a baby.
Special use of the WSOP logo: “I am looking for a classy lady, wearing hot lingerie, heels and garter belt”.
Fun Female needed for a poker game. Nice tits a plus. Good Pay
Topless girls also needed just to pose on poker tables.
And this guy won’t charge you anything for his poker services … he’s just a lonely MWM looking for a way into the Batface home game.

OMG. Dan, there is so much in this post to comment on. I think my head might explode. I will return to this when I’m more awake.

My favorite is the Fat Slob guy … I will so be wondering who he is, every time I see a large dude with a too-hot-for-him chick at the WSOP. And with all due respect, why do I think he might be my good friend Fubu’s hero?

I’m driving myself crazy trying to think of who Fat Slob might be… Anyone wanna throw out a name?

Are you thinking about applying for the position?

Yes, Dan, I am.
Argh.

I owe you dinner. I replied to the ad and am currently posting from the rented-out bedroom after a profitable $2/$5 NL session at the Venetian.
I knew I wanted to come to Vegas for the Summer, but until you pointed me to the craigslist posting I had no idea how or for how long I’d be out here.
Thanx for the find!
