Apparently Hard Rock needs some help with how to sort by table and seat.

Tell them they can PM me with what they are willing to pay me to become their new poker room manager.

I believe that having experience and knowing the game are definite no-no’s for a poker room manager. One of the first red flags when they are interviewing someone.

good luck today Anthony, TID!!

If you visit SHRTPoker.com the initial table is sorted by chip counts

You can then click to sort by any heading, so I selected the table # to get that all together

Got it. Sorting by chair first, then sorting a second time gives you table and seat order.

But when you are a poker pro, I guess you can count to 8 on your own. You are already forgetting about us rank amateurs that can't count to 5 if we are wearing mittens.

20%? Hope they comped you dinner first before screwing you over the table like that.

They know we're going to play regardless so they rake us over the coals

It is a multi-day event, and the house makes zilch after the initial buy-in. Think of it as a 10% rake per day

Already have a bustout at my table

Chip leader
Bustout

Flop

KQ bets, chip leader raises, bustout shoves and is snapped

Turn

Bustout celebrates

River:

Chip leader gets a little richer, bustout gets quieter

 

[GetUrShineBox]

Good Luck!
Keep us updated

 

[Anthony Martino]

We just got our first payjump of $35 which covers food & fuel today as the field hits 81 remaining

 

[Mongoose]

Keep to going Anthony!

 

[Anthony Martino]

Down to 128k, blinds up to 2/4/4k so still 32 bigs and an M of 12.8

Not in any danger, but looking for the double, avg is 231k with 72 left

 

[Poker Zombie]

Time to back it off - all those nits just got their extra $35, and are gonna start jamming!

 

[Anthony Martino]

Guaranteed $399 now with 72 left

Dealer teasing me, first card last THREE hands was a King

Kickers were 4, 5 and 6

Were they s00ted?

 

[Anthony Martino]

Were they s00ted?

Nope. Picked up UTG, raised to 12k, one caller in the HJ

Flop

We both check.

Turn

I check, he bets 20k and his hand is shaking something fierce, I let it go

In the BB and EP raises 4x to 16k

Short stack on the CO calls, SB calls, I call 11k more with cause I can't pass up playing an easily dominated hand out of position in a bloated pot

Flop is and the original raiser cbets, we all fold

At 94k now

Poker jezus, why was it left to me and my terrible photo skills to do this? Photoshop exberts, you gotta step up your game for the good of the forum.
Cmon.

A well known fake tell used by all competent OMCs

 

[GetUrShineBox]

Note to self “if I ever play against AMar shake hand and bet”

 

[Anthony Martino]

And we are GONE!

Old guy limps for 4k UTG

I raise to 15k with

Short stack in LP calls with only 21k behind. Limper calls

Flop

Both check to me, I bet 20k, just the limper calls

Turn

We both check

River

We both check. He shows down lol

Then in the BB and the shorty shoves Q9 off in the CO. I snap with 77 in the BB. He binks the 9 on the turn and says "oh, it's not gonna hurt much!" Because his stack is so small, but it cuts my stack in half

With blinds at 3/5/5k the very next hand we are in the SB with Q9 off and like 3-4 people limp. We put in the extra 2k and see a flop of T97

Checked around. Turn the Q and we shove our last 23k, THREE callers

River pairs the 7. One guy has Q8, the chip leader has KJ for the turned straight that gave me 2 pair. Out 68th for $399

Nope, this is my vacation week. Heading home to relax lol

Back at it Monday

 

[Anthony Martino]

Trying Luckys later, they are opening up a 3rd table

 

[Anthony Martino]

Doofus on my right raised to $50 pre after a few callers of a $10 straddle

I repot to $185 with

He calls OOP for half his stack and shoves it in on a flop

I call and he shows up with and holds, lol

If I had to give anyone at the table chips, he is high on the list

 

[Anthony Martino]

And he just punted his stack to the best player at the table (a pro I know from hard rock) and rebought for the $200 minimum

 

[Anthony Martino]

On the button with mandatory $5 straddle, UTG restraddles to $10

I restraddle to $20. Why you ask?

UTG calls, fish on my left calls, I check with



Flop is

BINGO BANGO BONGO VINCE!

UTG checks
Fish bets $55
I call
UTG folds

Turn

Fish shoves his last $125. I snap, he only runs it once

River

And I scoop, he claims to have picked up a heart draw
