I lost a $100 dollar chip at TS. True story.

Or wait, I thought I did until I got home (2.5 hours away) and found it in my hoodie pocket.
I went back to play with it a few weeks later, and lets just say that I wish I had just completely lost it.

Also, another funny story from TS: I won a pot off of this lunatic tilt box after I "sucked out on him." After the hand he shoved his chips into the middle of the table after I beat him, and one $1 chip flew off the table behind me. The guy behind me at a different table heard this, and turned around. I guess he thought I didn't notice the chip fly off the table, so he scooped it up and put it in his stack. I waited for a few seconds for him to maybe get a honest moment and return it, but he didn't.

As I got up to leave, I walked by his table and skeefed 2 $1 chips off of his stack of whites quickly shoving them in my pocket and said "Nice try, buddy." He gave me a sly "Yeah, I'm a scumbag smile" and I wandered off. Now that is +EV.

Hhahahah that's pretty funny.

I found a $50 bill on the ground under me at Tstone once. It was before they had the new room and when they had extra tables in the bar/lounge area (Fontana, maybe?) My buddy saw it but didn't want the bad luck of a $50. Suffice it to say I was none to worried about that bs.

I am positive I had a losing session, but it felt like a winner. Also at Seneca while waiting for a game and sitting in a couch I found $350 in the couch. Now I'm pretty scummy. If it was $50ish I would have brought it to the desk. If it was 1k+ I would have taken the money and gone home without playing. I brought $1200 that day. Added the $350 and my buddy paid me back $300 at the casino, for a total of $1850 to start the day. I walked out with $50 in my pocket.

Karma sucks.

i'm guessing a smaller site, Cake?



histarical. i watched a bunch of them on youtube. AJ puppyfeet and his Razz one are by far my favorite.

Also, mbn to have a $100 chip from TS. I've only had one winning session there. The only two important hands: One: my AA v AKss AIPF, I dodge eleventy brazillion outs on the flop. Second: set over set on a 543 board, I had 55, other guy had 44, no chop. I win about $200 in that one hand and leave a couple minutes after.

EDIT!

$2 NL is fun

*doublepost*

lol... i bet you tried the same thing I did

And thats why Turningstone is the stupidest casino on the face of the earth.

So my girlfriend got paid today and they didn't get their annual Christmas bonus and everybody was all upset they have done it for the past 15 years and didn't give any warning. Someone asked Someone and it turns out the Christmas Bonus is going to be in next weeks check.





Just for the record she works at one of the top 5 hospitals in the country here in Boston, and they give the Christmas bonus AFTER Christmas.

Just FYI, girlfriends are -EV.

where were you 4 years ago when I moved in with her?

But you're also 19, you're stuck there for another year or so.

Yeah, that's why I hate life.

looooooooool.

Go to Borgata underage obv.

If Phil Ivey can do it for 3 years, you should be able to. For the love of God though, DO NOT play any of the SnG's or MTT's, you WILL be asked for ID.

I'll fess up, I actually like Turning Stone. It's just more of a drive, I think the games are softer and the games are more loose passive there. Plus feeling really old at the table is amusing, seeing that I'm 23.

Oh, don't get me wrong, they definitely are.

I just ran like shit there after winning my first session. It's been over a year since then, so I should start running good again.

Yeah thats pretty much how I feel too. I've had 2 winning session at Turningstone over the last year playing 100, and 200 max but I've been there about 6 times during that span. The games are so juicy, the players are so ****ing bad, but everytime I drive 2 hours out of my way to play cards with suckers, some moron gets hit in the face with the deck at my table, and I get dealt J3o every hand.

The only times I've made money there was a time I sat at 100 max for 4 hours and was never all-in, and never saw a turn card. I just won little pots and ended up $200. The other time I was playing $200 max, I played one big hand where a maniac who was waiting for the 10/20 NL game to open sat at my table and the third hand he was there put me AIPF with 44 and I fistpumpinstacalled with JJ and flopped Jack's full. Ended up being up $180 after 5 hours. I just feel like I could win a cool grand in 5 or 6 hours at that place if I ever could stop running cold.

Boo hoo...having to drive a couple of hours for the nearest casino. Try living around Georgia, where the nearest poker room is at least a 5 hour drive.

You don't run bad, be quiet!

Borgata cards like crazy.

Taj doesn't even when ID is requested by another player.

I'm a 5 minute walk from my local casino/cardroom.

I'm a 10 minute drive from a sick 3/6 LHE game!!!!1

I'd rather travel for 12 hours to get to Vegas.

That's certainly a +EV attitude

Heh, I wasn't initially when I went (played cash), but I wanted to try making some quick money by playing a $100+$20 SnG (where they do ask for ID, I needed to get the Red Label Card). I was the first guy out after about 40 minutes - got uber short with about 4 BB's at, um, 100/200, pushed Q2o UTG, called in two spots, flop AAA, guy who was on my left bets the turn (a blank), I'm drawing dead to Quads weeeeeeee, river is an insulting and meaningless Queen. Such a shitty structure in those things...

I only played that SnG because I was -100 @ 1/2 in two hands. Layed down a 10 high flush in one hand, 4 hearts on board. A couple hands later, I get 43o, flop a gutshot on a J high board, turn J, I push about $35 in, river gives it to me. Guy shows down quads.

Marchant: stop complaining!

I've never seen a live SNG under $500+$50 that had a decent structure.

heh, well, I only brought $300

Sigh looks like it is time to start my Xmas shopping...

Understood... just try to keep to games that are in your range that are +EV

1/2NL is pretty fking donktastic, even if you only have 1 buyin.

I got 3 days left. EONS of time.

lol I will probably end up doing it tomorrow...

omg so hungover. drank at least 12 capn n cokes and min 5 shots. that is a ton for me as i smoke a ton of bud and drink very lil these days. yeah i also smoked 3 joints and a blunt. fcking hurting and so is my ass (from pooping not buttsecks i don't think)

was hoping to have a nice fat christmas bonus check from pokerstars today but of course no, taking a while this time of year i suppose.

Mine came yesterday it took a like 9 days (7 business days). That is a ton of booze, we had a Christmas party this year on the 8th and I haven't had a drink since.

Hangovers really do get worse as you get older.

i can't remember when i requested it but it feels like almost 2 weeks

yes hangovers suck but since my last post i have taken 2 bong rips and i would have to say that i am now high and feel no longer hungover. i think i'm gonna play some pokah.

what really got my stomach in addition to the booze was the 1 chili/cheese dog, 1 steak/egg/cheese shmuffin, 1 bag of zesty party mix, 1 king size crunch w/ caramel bar, nachos grande that i split with my buddy which had chili/salsa/sourcream/onions/peppers/taco sauce and some other things, and 1L Dr pepper. Obv at 2:30 am.

I weep for your colon.

No kidding... i'm 22 and I'm already noticing my hangovers are starting to last an entire day longer...

Then again, it takes me about a half a handle to get hung in the first place

That always made it worse for me.... idk how you do it.

Yeah, I think I've only ever played in one decent tournament for less than my wallet size before: A 100 + 20 or something at Turningstone of all places. But now they changed to structure at that dyke of a Casino, so everything is a turbo. The place is a ****ing dump.

Started Xmas shopping today, finished Xmas shopping today.

80% gift cards.

Gogogogogogo.

20% beer?

Actually, one of the gift cards was for the LCBO (Ontario liquor store).

lol @ my co-worker's husband (he plays poker)

A little preface about my co-worker. She's a bitch. She is the type of person that will act nice with you one minute, and not talk to you for weeks the next. She tells me all the time about how much money he makes at Ameristar casino from playing poker, and that he never loses...blah blah blah. She's full of shit and so is her husband of course.

I just asked her how their trip to Vegas (for a wedding) went recently. I asked her if he was bringing home the benjamins or something lame like that, and her response was, "Hmm, well no. He really didn't make much money, but he didn't lose much either. He played alot though. After this trip, we've both decided we really don't like Vegas anymore, its just not that fun."

LOL!

Translation: He lost his ass, realizes he sucks and doesn't want to go back to Vegas because theirs nothing to do but gamble.

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard this story from somebody...

The world is full of fantastic players who never lose but for an odd reason suddenly "get bored with it"

I hate those ppl, and I'm happy the bitch got put in her place

Obv - I'm a Stud specialist though. I heard there's quite a bit of it at Foxwoods - I might skip the spread limit games and go straight to 5/10 if I ever get up there (provided I haven't moved to Vegas or California by then.) Not really rolled for it, but I feel that I'm very +EV in a lot of Stud games (if I'm not mistaken, the play should be equivalent to the .50/1 or 1/2 Stud games online), so I don't mind gambling a bit.





They have SnG's now? I was up there over the summer for the Heartland Poker Tour, don't recall seeing them, but, then again, I was also busy breaking even at 2/4 LHE over a 4 hour timespan (brought $150, was only down $10 or so), got rivered by J3 when I button raised A7, AJx flop, turn blank, river 3. After that, I tilted my ass off and lost my entire buyin in about an hour by raising blind every hand.

I was doing real good before that though - had 66 my first hand of the session (6 on flop), got 4-bet by JJ when I held KK (that would've been AIPF if it was NL - I also asked if the guy had 10's or something after the hand was over), then a few hours later, I had bottom set against top 2 on a 4Q9 flop (I missed a few bets on this one, but the board was scary enough for both hands that it completely paralyzed any action - was showing flush, royal/str8 flush, and straight draws by the river.) With the possible exception of the 6's (where everyone check/folded to my flop bet - I showed for table image purposes), I make a few hundred easy if that's an NL game.




I lol'ed.
