Money Talks

So you think life is fair & everyone is treated equally. Not if you have lived your life in this world! When you go into a restaurant and have a reservation, do you expect to be seated on time? If you request that a game be put on t.v. while you are playing cards in a poker room, do you expect your request to be honored? Do you also expect that the president that you vote for to be a man of his word and your vote to be counted? I say No to all of the above. We wont get into the political aspect of this because you already know the results. However you have to know that in this world the guy that tips big or brings notoriety to a place of business is going in before a regular guy. I was told that there was a no cell phone rule at the tables in Vegas. That is true UNLESS you are a high profile player. If you don't believe it ask anyone who viewed The WSOP. Many of the name players used their phones while at the table. A player that I know personally had requested a t.v. brought into the tournament room for a sporting event. He was firmly told that this cannot happen. Ten minutes later Phil Ivey asked for the game to be on and a wide screen t.v. was brought into the room almost immediately. Is this fair? If you were a high profile player wouldn't you expect a little more than average treatment. Treatment is fine BUT please don't change the obvious rules for just a handful of players. Are these players above reproach when they are on their cell phones. I know many of these players and c'mon they are just card players. Some have just been lucky and others work hard at their craft BUT are no better than the rest of the PLAYERS. Maybe they have more money but they are not any better people. Entitlement has always been given to high profile people and that is the American Way. It isn't always deserved but it is the way it is. You know that if you're waiting in line and Monica Lewinsky comes in, she is going to be seated before you. Excuse me...and what is her claim to fame?
