I had a good time in Las Vegas. I don't have any secrets to hide, so I'll let out a few details from my trip.

1. The World Series of Poker is a media frenzy
2. Two million in cash makes a big stack of bills
3. Phil Hellmuth and Mike Matusow are nicer guys than they appear on TV
4. I played poker with Phil Gordon
5. I won some money
6. I didn't become rich or famous and I'm glad

I enjoy poker and I play well enough to win a little money on these trips, but being around so much vanity and materialism for a weekend really left me with a sick feeling. I've always enjoyed the game for its social aspects and emphasis on logical decision-making but watching people in Vegas really left me feeling sad and unfortunately, you have to wade through the layer of slime that comes with the casinos to get to the poker room. I feel bad for people that are caught up in the love of money and the quest for beauty. It is good to be home.
