PokerTales 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Sitting in seat 4 was a stack of about $600, maybe a bit more, but definitely enough to get my attention in the lowest buy in no limit game on the strip. In seat 5 was a local grinder with about $120 in front of him and a soda, no ice. I was in seat 7 with $40 and just young tourists in the other 6 seats around the table. Seat 4 was a 35 year old computer something or other at a convention with dreams of doing something that night. He was very aggressive with his chips and he was destroying the other players at the table, catching miracle cards and was really building his stack, at one point in the 4 hours he sat there he was over $1,000 and wasn't slowing down.It was about midnight and seat 5 yells, "alright today's my birthday, who's doin' shots?".I look up at the guy, having played with him on several occasions in several locations, I've never seen this fella drink a coffee, just diet coke no ice.He immediately get's the attention of a cocktail waitress and orders seat 4 a shot of tequila, then hands the waitress a tip and as she leans down, he tells her he only wants water in his shots with a slice of lime but make sure you bring him tequila. Seat 4 already happy from being in Las Vegas for at least 10 hours by now and already being ahead was more than happy to do a shot.10 minutes later, seat 5 yells "cocktails" again, says "same thing sweetheart!" and repeats this, involving more than just the original mark in several shot attempts. He continued to do this with almost every new player that sat down, getting the table at some points to do all shots together, I even took a shot or two of my favorite crack in a bottle. (guess it)Playing at the table became so much easier, between seat 5 and myself, we cleaned out seat 4 and I took home about $400 which was a pleasant surprise because I hadn't planned on playing that night and wasn't rolled.

rivergirl 2 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 did you sit down with only $40, really? If you didn't and you just lost a few bucks off your buy-in, you really should've topped up or left. I would never sit at a table without enough money to play a good hand effectively.
