Well, the Series is over, the Bellagio poker room is pretty much a ghost town, and later today I will be driving back to LA.
It was a most interesting time.

A lot of interesting stuff, but this one comes to mind.

------------

At the Bellagio about a week or so ago we were playing a little 100 200 plo and I noticed that Andrew Robl was crushing the game. 
That got me curious how his series went and that got me to thinking about what his net worth might be.  So I breached the topic with him.
I suggested the following.  That he should give me a number where, if I paid, he would tell me his net worth once a year for the rest of his life. 
I told him that I would ask towards the end of each WSOP.  (And also that I would never tell a soul any of his numbers for as long as I lived.)

He said for $1,500 he would do it.

I was amazed that I had asked.  I am not even sure why I did.  But after it came out of me I was quite pleased.  This seemed like a truly brilliant
idea on my part.  Then as I found the moment again I realized that his offer of 1,500 seemed like the bargain of the century.  Wow.

I thought it over for about 2 or 3 seconds and then I realized that if I didn't lock this up at this bargain price with an instant hit, then he might retract
all offers and then this wierd and glorious moment would pass.  Oh no, I thought.  We will have none of that and then on the 4th second I tossed him the $1,500.

So that was that.  Til the day I die I will always know what Andrew Robl's net worth is.  And that makes me happy.  I like Andrew, I like his laugh, and now
I will have something odd to bond over as we grow into old men.  Sometimes, things end up just perfect.  And this is one of those times.
