I Am Bored At Work

This makes me cringe now. Don't make yourself a target for robbery.

I never posted the story about the, uhhh, working girl who both saw me pull the money out of my pocket and saw me pass out from drinking too much with Zach, yet didn't take a dollar. Moral of the story...Vegas rules.(also, carrying around money in your pocket is stupid)

Now I'm cringing ... the holes all sealed up, yet? BTW, I often wonder about how to manage poker money for live play, especially when I travel, but also at home. Anything can happen: robberymislocationtheft in the hotel (I mean, you can't take it to the pool with you)car accident and you're knocked out or something There should be some sort of "bank" that would allow you to access your money at any casino in the country. Hmmm, is there? Wait, is this some kind of a business opportunity? Anyway, my wife has a big mouth and I also worry about her talking about my play ... someone I don't want to have know about it might decide the house is an easy target, ala Dave N. I don't want that ...

The first night I ever went to an underground game here, the guy who ran it gave me a ride home at the end of the night. He told me that all of the local games had been getting robbed lately and that this gang robbing the players had been pretty non-violent at first but started pistol-whipping people lately. I decided not to go back, but instead started my own game. Our first idea was to do a completely cash-free game. We set up a computer with PokerStars and players transferred money to us for their buy in. At the end of the night, we transferred it back to them. We put the word out that cash was not even allowed in the room. The idea lasted until the second person arrived and didn't have an online account, but brought cash with him. We never did another transfer, LOL.I still think that idea's a good one, though.

Mostly. There's no nasty ooze coming out, at any rate.Resisting robbers is -EV, btw. I've had a lot of trouble admitting that I was on life tilt.

That is a really good idea.

This is one of the reasons I quit my original game. It was made up of drugged out racists with guns who wouldn't have gone down without a fight to the armed Laotian gang robbing the locals games. Meanwhile, my philosophy is and was, take my money, take my credit card, I'll call you a cab and recommend some nice places to spend my cash, pleasegoddontshootme.You're still the man, though, David.

I should've just parked my ass at the Rio playing 2/5 PLO in July. 0.10/0.25 Omaha is tougher on-line.

Wow. The PLO players at the lower stakes are possibly the stupidest players I've ever played against.Here's an example:6 max PLO .25/.50 on FTI have KQ95 ds and pot from the button. The BB and a limper call.The flop comes down QJ5r, they check to me and I pot it. The limper calls.Turn is a T, putting 2 diamonds out there (I don't have diamonds).The limper checks so I pot it again. He calls.The river is the 5d, completing the flush and filling me up.He checks, I bet like 90% of the pot and he calls.He shows down J442 with J high diamonds.

Looks like you got outplayed.

Jay, do you still get phonecalls from the 'working girl'?

I'm going to start posting all of the IM bad beats Acid sends me as he continuously gets frustrated and angry 1 dollar SnGs and .001-.002 PLO. I've seen him stick 1000 dollars in the middle of the table live, yet every micro-stakes hand kills his soul a little more.

We play because we love the game. Stakes don't matter.

That's pretty bad. It looks like I'm playing in the wrong games, as usual.The hand that sticks in my mind from the Rio is this guy putting in ~$1,500 in on the flop with unimproved AAxx. I can't quite remember the action. I think the AA bet, a full wrap raised, a third guy reraised with top two pair and the second-nut flush draw, the AA flat called, the wrap pushed, the two-pair folded, and the AA called. Now it turns out that he makes a "good" call here for the actual hand he's against, but it's seems pretty ****ing reckless.

[David_Nicoson 1]

Zach, did Smash get banned for life from poker by playing baseball? I really need to know.

[Zach6668 513]

lol, I don't understand the question.I'm certain he's not banned from this site, anyways.

I won.

no I just tolerate it, kind of like sports betting. Except I expect to make money at poker.

First of all, it's .25/.50 PLO and I do get more frustrated with taking beats there than I do putting in over 1K in a live game. I am amused by that myself.When I go 5 bets on a flop ($33 PLO sng) to get it AI on the flop of AcKx7c and I have KK93 with nut clubs and I'm against an idiot with AJT5 with the JT5ccc, yeah, I'll go a little nuts when I lose a pot where I get someone's money in as an 87% favorite in PLO. Yeah, I was pissed after that.

You say they are from "the ocean". So are they chinese or japanese.(King of the Hill for those not in the know)

QFT.I just sit here laughing at how much it pisses him off. Too funny. So much easier to get angry behind a computer at home than it is at a casino. I RARELY tilt live, but online? I can tilt alllllllllllllll day.And to Zach, I hate poker. Everything about it. I'm just addicted and so mildly successful at it that I can't put in the effort to get unaddicted.

I misread your post about redpill. I'm much less interested in that now, since I don't know who he is.I still get points for the Pete Rose joke, though, I hope.

you're not missing much if you don't know who redpill is. He's mid 30's lives with his parents and his room looks like a crime scene.and Pete Rose says FU..and he'll be signing autographs at the forum shops this weekend.

[tskillz187 0]

Redpill is back? He kind of fascinates me. In a very dark, depressing way. He's like an older, crazier, less successful FWP.It's hard to believe, I know.

[David_Nicoson 1]

Nice callback. Pete really ****ed up with the gambling and lying stuff. He'd be so good for baseball today.I'd love for Pete to be the manager for Barry Bonds. I think he'd have something to say about him going into the homerun trot every time he hits the ball more than 300 feet.
