Plus being blocked and unfriended on Facebook when you checkraise a lady, have two drunk dudes fighting over you at 1am and the mysterious wheel switcharoo

Meh... we all have to deal with asshole co-workers.

and the constant reminder of impromptu stages being built in the parking lot for you to perform on when things go south!

Stripping was his idea. I just saw a way to profit from stage construction.

but other than that how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?

 

[GetUrShineBox]

Lots of guys stradling to 20, making it 100 after, etc

We go multiway in a straddled pot with from the blinds

Flop is

We bet pot of 125, somehow get THREE callers???

Turn

I check, next guy bets 200, two callers, I call

River

Checked around to last guy who bets 400, I call, one fold, other guy hems and haws, then calls

Bettor announces flush and I reveal my boat

Just curious. Did you not raise in fear of KKxx or bc you wanted that 3rd caller?

Looks like I didn't mention it in ths post, but the guy who bet $400 was all-in. The other players hadn't shown any strength except the guy who made a fairly weak bet on the turn and then checked the river, so I see any value in raising. I was surprised to see the other guy overcall the river, but I'm not complaining. I didn't get to see any of their hands at showdown, but was a very goofy hand the way it played out given board texture and so many players continuing post-flop.

There is always the possibility I run into a cooler where someone has a bigger full as well, and I only had experience with the guy who bet the turn (known donator) but hadn't played against the other two before.

One table running, 15 on the wait list. The lack of dealers continues. When they call a 2nd table I'll get a seat at least

[Anthony Martino]

You can't play at a property you deal at

You can't play at a property you deal at

A wise rule.

Maybe at the Hard Rock, however I played with dealers in Tunica (Caesars) often and had one playing at my table then got in the box literally 10 minutes later at the Beau Rivage (MGM). It's definitely weird but I don't mind so much as I find the dealers aren't the best players or they would stop dealing....

Hey hey hey - he's got a perfectly good stage to work at he doesn't need that dealing crap

Hell, in Carson City, the dealers were half the table. Not even a break, they just slide over when it's their turn to deal.

One of the best casino games I ever played in.

 

[Anthony Martino]

We get it in preflop three ways with and run twice. I win the first board but just barely get beat on the 2nd

Fortunately the guy I chop with is short so I scoop the side

 

[Anthony Martino]

+$1,372 on the day

Thank God. Labor shortages have made getting lumber deliveries for your stage quite difficult. Keep it up.

Who you calling short?

 

[Anthony Martino]

Who you calling short?

The guy with $315 lol

 

[Anthony Martino]

Back at it gl us!

 

[Anthony Martino]

Starting off early we checkraise a preflop raiser on a flop with our , he stacks off and only runs once, no spades hit

 

[Anthony Martino]

Guy on my left that I stacked earlier calling raises with K773 and chasing 7 high flushes

 

[Anthony Martino]

We flop top and bottom pair plus open ender on a two flush board. Getting ready to checkraise a short stacked maniac but after he bets a tight player raises and we have to fold as we are deep and OOP

We would've gotten lucky, turning our top pair to fill when he had middle set, but still the correct fold

 

[Anthony Martino]

Ooch. I call a raise to 30 on the button with

Flop is

Original raiser bets pot, I call

Turn

He bets 250. I figure maybe he has the other aces and I'm freerolling with the wheel draw, so I rip, he calls, we go twice

He has lol and raised OOP after limpers, then smashes the turn. I have a 5 in my hand and he raised pre, so it's near impossible to put him on that hand, he doubles through us

 

[Anthony Martino]

Lost $1,081 in the 2/2/5 but won back $139 in the 5/5/10

 

[Anthony Martino]

Putting in a later session at luckys, 4 tables going

 

[Anthony Martino]

Won a bit in a dble board bomb pot

 

[FDLmold]

Clean chips. Very. It's a fat chance, but casinos need to keep doing this to their chips pandemic or not.

 

[Anthony Martino]

Wheee

 

[Anthony Martino]

High point saw me up roughly $500, but the games were so-so across multiple tables, had to settle for a small win of $345 for the day
