I'm Going, Going, Back, Back...

Yes, I'll be there, speaking twice. Mike is also speaking.

Just got my itenerary. I see you're doing a side bet workshop on the third day, but I don't see your other engagement. Care to tell?

Whelp, I leave for LV in about 14 hours and, as a single man, I haven’t begun to even ithink about packing. Near as I can figure, that puts me right on schedule ;)

I was going to ask you praying types to give a shout out for some rain in the eastern Florida region, as betting on the 500 on Monday instead of missing it due to flight on Sunday would make my year. But when looking for the weather there, I saw that a car pierced the catch fence in today’s Nationwide race, sending 28 fans to the hospital.

Maybe send those well wishes that-a-way.

Have fun, and good luck in the card-counting competition!

Thanks Aces. Here at the Monte Carlo now. After a double dose of Vicodin for the plane ride, then a turbo charged captain and coke upon landing, I forgot that's why I was here. I also forgot where my room was, and even the number. But I made it back, pulled out the deck, and was still putting down high nine/low ten second counts. There should be no way I lose this...

What was the winning time last year? I don't recall if you mentioned it.

Good luck, Face!

And I'm going back again. Now I can do a mid 10sec while singing a song, and I set a personal best of 9.3s just last month. Here's hoping thirds time's a charm...

Wiz, teliot, anyone else attending this year's WGPC?

Darryl Purpose, a former member of Kenny Uston's team could count down a deck perfectly in 8 seconds. That has been widely recognized as the record. Can a deck even be dealt in 8 seconds or did he slide them from one hand to the other?

I'd say probably yes, he's sliding from one hand to the other. I've seen a number of different methods, but for me, as well as most of the fastest I've seen, that is the method used.
