Napa Lite 3,278 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Why would you go to something like this? Because her parents (and their friends) love me and there will be free booze. And who am I to deny the people what they want, Ron? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 If you play lower stakes, there might be some girls at the table. Drink and hit on them while you play. It's like a party and a poker game in one. Or, for even more fun, find some TAGgy pros, **** with their blinds, needle them about every pot they don't win, and enjoy their meltdown.

Essay21 2,385 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 There's been a good looking lady at the table a few times when I've been playing. The attention she recieved from every d bag there makes it impossible for me to talk to her. Not that I would anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 There's been a good looking lady at the table a few times when I've been playing. The attention she recieved from every d bag there makes it impossible for me to talk to her. Not that I would anyways. That makes it all the more appealing. Go super over the top, and never stop running your mouth. Act like you are trying to have an alpha stand off with the whole table. I mean, she isn't going to sleep with you, but it's fun. She doesn't even need to be attractive, it just gives you a medium for behaving like a Winner. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Your boss works out of a cubical? Is this like a boiler room telemarketing scam or something? at my old work, everyone, except maybe the guy who managed the entire building, had a cubicle. where you worked looked more and more like an office the further you got up the chain, but at the end of the day, everyone was in a cube.

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Free booze isnt THAT important to me. I need atmosphere, but hey, thats just me. You have fun napa, i support you, always. Suited, poker is a lonely game, so no, that doesnt count. I just want more for ya buddy, but you can only work within your limitations. I too, support you. I do like Sklansky's premise, go play poker, get buzzed-bombed and be the life of the table. Does your poker room offer free drinks? If not, buy the only girl at the table a glass of tap water Link to post Share on other sites

That's so depressing. The idea of spending most of my life at a job is already not my scene, but at least there is kind of good vibe you might get from imagining yourself as Don Draper or something. With that setup, there isn't even any hope that you might someday have enough context to imagine that. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Do card rooms in SoFl offer that? I've played in black chip games where they didn't comp booze. Nope. But we don't have full casinos. It's primarily just card rooms. That's why I asked. I assumed they are hitting full casinos. Is that only a Vegas thing? Heck, am I remembering wrong? Vegas still does, correct? It was May 2011 since I was there Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hey I get bad social anxiety Ronald and so sometimes it's nice to have a low key night where I can just shoot the shit with friends, which is what this will be. Not every night has to end up with me chasing big girls with some stranger I just met. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Most casino have comp schedules for poker, but I don't think they are anything as juicy as what a table gamer would get. They certainly aren't actively trying to get you drunk like they do with the table games. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 No casinos around here comp drinks, either. Big liability thing since most people are driving distances to/from the casino. Also, my office is basically like Strat described. Senior management has actual offices. Everyone else is cubicle. Link to post Share on other sites

iClint 61 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I agree. More of my nights do need to end with that. Maybe a few with actually banging said chicks, but let's not get greedy. Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 they do not comp drinks at missouri casino's. i wish they did, it would make the games better with all the drunkards. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 At the table games and slots they do, no? Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 not anywhere. no comped drinks whatsoever, that i know of. like nap said, with every guest driving it would be imprudent to give away booze. instead they charge 5 bucks for a beer and people fork it over hand over fist to get at that sweet bud light.

ShakeZuma 585 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 our first level team leaders are in cubes but pretty much anybody above them are in offices. I am, of course, in the smallest cube possible. so not to pull a strat but let's change the subject back to me: that job I interviewed for today, I don't really think I would like it all things considered, and really I seriously doubt they'd offer it to me, but figuring with the overtime they said I'd regularly work and at $30 an hour which would be the minimum I'd accept, that shit would be over 90 grand a year. that ain't a bad amount of scratch. it'd be a tough one to turn down I know that. cross that bridge when I get to it (I won't get to it).

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 seems fine to me. I hope you get it, build that skill out on your resume for a few years, then either ratchet up to something at the same stress level for 1.4x, or accept another job at the same pay with less stress. do it up.

SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 oh damn. didn't think about that. and sometimes a bridge will break apart in the middle and rise up so a boat can pass underneath it. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Maybe you should start building bridges, Shake? Sounds like there's a market for it and apparently you don't have to be that good. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
