Short story:
Crappy chips but a great time. Cut the Professor's game up, used the bridge KEMs I brought which they liked, wooo! 5 card draw/stud, 7card roll your own, hold em, great time.
In for $50+20
Out for $271
Stream of thoughts below.
Some awkwardness and I think I was out of line later on. I was on edge for a lot of it, the next best player brought his buddy and they both made a point of sitting directly to my left and mentioned they had talked about me on the way. Usually would be lighthearted but I was iffy on him previously, kind of angle-y. He was shuffling while looking at the bottom cards, then straight up just start sifting through the deck while on break while it was just him and his buddy and me. I made sure they knew I was watching and it got washed. Buddy kept telling me he wasn't cheating.
This game also has a policy that cash plays on the table and no more chips are bought from the bank, only other players. Theres one player in particular who is known to be weird about this, he'll put $300 down if hes down $20 bucks but put it under his phone. No one else seems to care but its sketchy. Consensus at the old man table was that I only needed to know how much it was after he went all-in. So I could be playing against a stack of $30 or a stack of $300 and that information wasn't pertinent until I risked it all. We weren't arguing but I was pointing out the problem in doing it this way and the host didn't seem to care, so oh well. $50 cap game becomes awkwardly mystery deep-stacked.
That same grumpy guy who has slowrolled before got his river bet called and wouldnt show, waiting for the new guy to show his hand; I asked him to show since I was dealing, he said no but I flipped them once the new guy showed and he mucked. I was out of line and shouldn't have but hes frustrated me before making people show first when its on him, new people just dont know better. Apologized in front of everyone then again away from the table, I was just on edge from the duo/weird shuffle/cash discussion. I regretted it immediately.
Night ended well a few hours later. Awkward moment at the end, I catch a full house drawing 3 to my Kings against the host for a good pot, then had someone shove against my aces full not noticing the $80 in cash I had earned on the table. THIS IS WHY GAMES SHOULD HAVE CLEAR RULES!!!! Always kepy my cash fanned out in clear view. But obviously I was happy and I barely needed the cash, had him almost covered in chips and I wasn't going anywhere.
