Mincashed the 8 game. Took 2/3 of the prize and donked it off in flip-and-go. The flip-and-go is a 30 min registration line for a 10 minute table wait for a 2 minute hand. This takes place in Normandy, which is a closet on the 2nd floor of the horseshoe. They raked this shitshow 12%. Who would withstand this torture? Seemed like a lot of people with bracelet bets. And me, an idiot.
Anyways fun hand from 8-game. Game is 2-7 triple draw, closing in on the bubble, I’m short and all in heads up OOP. Holding 8533x. We both draw 2, I improve to 88532. We both draw 1, I improve to J8532. I pat my Jack (perhaps a fish mistake, not what I would usually do, but the pairs make me think it’s decent play). He falls for it and breaks T8xxx. He pairs the deuce. Our opponent tells this story to about 11 different people for an hour while we safely blind out through the bubble. Ay oh
