Slim T Trip Report - WSOP 2012

[vegas1369]

Rawwolf was very odd from the start. He flashed a lot of money. Told me that he hadn't eaten in the 2-3 days since he had been in Vegas and also told me that he had stage 3 cancer and only had a few years at best to live. That statement was the reason I have ignored requests to post about my encounter with him.

He did not look well. He ended up not going to eat with the rest of us as he stated he felt ill. He gave me $400 for Druff for a prop bet (which Druff received). He also asked me to do him a big favor. He said he couldnt eat any of the food at the rio due to his illness. He asked me to go to Walmart and Smiths (a local grocery store) to get him somethings so he would be more comfortable.

In all honesty, the guy didnt look well. The cancer comment through me for a loop because I found it odd someone I only knew from the forums and radio would tell me something that personal within the first 5 minutes of us meeting.

He gave my gf a list of things he wanted. I had posted this before. He handed me $400 and told me get him all these things. I agreed and told him we would bring it back with the change. He told me just keep it as a favor for doing this for him. I told him I didn't want his money and was doing it so he would be comfortable and have what he claimed he needed. He relentlessly told me that he insisted I keep whatever change was left. I ended up spending around $240 (the 13 cans of smokeless tobacco were close to $100 alone) between Walmart and Smiths. Drove back to the Rio, tipped the bell hop $20 to bring all this stuff up to his room per his request. I spent over 2 hours of my time between driving from the rio to both stores, the shopping, and driving back and getting everything delivered to his room.

He called me the next day to thank me. He also asked me to get him pain pills claiming he needed them to be able to play in his tournaments. I told him I am not involved in that and most likely I could not help him. I told him the best I could do is that if any poker players I knew and saw at the rio who dealt in this trade approached me, I would contact him.

2-3 days this guy is in town and he can't rent a car to go to the fucking Walmart and Smiths? If he wasn't too ill to get on a plane and come all the way out to Vegas, and then play in WSOP events, which actually can be somewhat grueling, he definitely wasn't too ill to do something as simple as drive to the store. Just the fact alone that he laid the pity party on Drexel announcing he had cancer from the get go, and then making Drexel his gopher is fucked up enough IMO. Right off the bat Drexel is a saint for not telling this dipshit to get fucked. Putting someone out like that, especially someone you just met, is extremely lame, I don't care how sick you are. If you are too ill to be going to the store to get yourself some supplies, don't trek half way across the country. Keep your ass at home with the people that care about you enough to take care of this shit for you.

Rawwolf, why exactly did you feel it was alright to ask someone you just met to go out of their way for you like this? Why not just rent a car, or even take a cab since money doesn't seem like much of an issue, and take care of this shit yourself? 2-3 days sitting around in the Rio???? LOL, get the fuck out of here.

Also, what kind of cancer patient doesn't have a full prescription of pain killers? Again, why do you think it's alright to be asking someone you hardly even know to get you pills? Maybe been abusing them a little? Maybe lost your common sense here a bit because of your addiction?

As far as the texts and the messages.... Pretty common thing for some people to do when they feel sorry for someone, but really don't want to see them again for whatever reason.

You sound every bit like a scorned, irrational woman.
