If you are paying $20 for a haircut, I imagine people assume you did it yourself anyway.

and after 3 days, he is risen!

Pocket change cost me my first and only black girlfriend.   It was in the middle of a roaring poker boom and I was flush in ways most men don't even bother dreaming of. Money, it was like dirt to me

left up 1019, but it should have been 2k. some donk called my three bet of 125 preflop with 2/3 clubs, and then two other donks followed him in. flop is Axx two clubs, obviously we get it in and he spikes it on the river. pretty standard for me.

Love how essay says he’s up 900 in 45 minutes, then tells a bad beat story about how he didn’t make $2k, and then says “that’s how it goes for me”.

 

 

Are you really poor pitiful me’ing us after winning $1k?

 

Buy a real watch with that $1600 profit.

 

Also, have some fun

Sure, although there wasn’t much for shenanigans.

 

Thursday

Get into Vegas at like 9:30 am and by the time I get to the Flamingo (The F) and meet friends it’s around 11. Walk from the F to Hexx where other friends are having mimosas and brunch but by then they were just finishing up and were super wasted so me, my buddy, and his wife (the birthday girl) walk down the strip and land at Cabo Wabo where we have a quick breakfast, a few beers, and a tequila shot to toast. There we’re two other groups in town by then and one was on a day trip to the Hoover dam and the group from earlier who were now in various states of passed outness so we stop at the CVS to grab some tall boys and walk a few casinos, stop at the Cromwell so my buddy can place a few bets for a coworker, stop at the CVS again and then go to meet up with group 1 at the F but not before I lose $20 betting red trying to win $20 at Balleys for the dealer who had the balls to wear a Kaepernick jersey.

 

Meet up at the F and I take a seat at a 3 card table with friends and proceed to lose $75. By now it’s around 5 and I’m able to check into my room so I do that and have my luggage brought up. Group 2 had shown up by now and stopped to by us booze somewhere so we drank some booze and by now two other groups had gotten into town so we all met up and hit up some Italian place near by where we played CCR for our predinner drinks (I didn’t lose!). By then time we got out of there it was around 11 and I was plenty drunk and on the precipice of an anxiety attack so I went back to my room and called it a night.

 

Friday

I woke up early and checked out bravo to see what rooms had action going but decided anyone playing was probably decent so I didn’t. Did decide to meet up with some friends for bottomless mimosas and breakfast at the Yard House. Did that for 2 hours and by then everybody else was out and about but I wanted to play some poker before I got to drunk so I broke off and went back to the F and got on the list. They had a tourney going though so only one or two tables and I was far down the list and then watched from the nearby slots as more diamond members moved ahead of me so I got a seat at a 3 card table to wait for my name.

 

about two hours later I realized they probably didn’t message me and I had lost my seat so I left (down $50ish) and met up with some friends and then we went and walked the strip some more, grabbed some lunch somewhere and then went and played some roulette at Bally’s. I hit a number with $3 pretty early on but then nothing after that save for a few quadrants or whatever they’re called. Quit up maybe $30 or so. Met up with friends again at Twin Peaks in Planet Hollywood (one of our friends knows a waitress there and was giving them the hookup). Then me and a buddy left to go walk the south strip and check out NYNY and the MGM and whatever else is down there. Tried finding a table to play blackjack but being Friday night and with the rodeo in town all the tables were full or at least $25 min. Ended up back at NYNY and managed to find a $10 (6/5) table so we played for a bit and another friend and then my buddies fiancé met up with us. Ended up winning like $20 or so.

 

My buddy and his fiancé then left to go pass out for a bit while me and the other friend grabbed an Uber to Fremont street. I had never been and his grandma used to play at the 4 Queens so he wanted to go and play some there as an homage or something. Get on a $10 (6/5) table fairly quickly and are having fun, but losing. Just nothing going and I get down to $50 of my $200 buy in and bet it all and get an 11 vs the dealers 6. So I pull out some money to double and lose. Buy another $200 and proceed to try to chase some losses. All in all I end up down like $250 or so. I was pretty drunk. It was kind of funny though in that some English dude sat down and we got to talking to him and turns out he works as a safety VP at a very large company whose HQ is literally a mile away from where we all live and he’s in town 4 or 5 times a year.Last time he was in town he got attacked by a goose and had to file an incident report for it. Small world.

 

I went to cash in my chips and felt like I was going to throw up so I caught a cab back to the F and grabbed some InNOut (garbage) and called it a night. By then it was sometime around midnight.

 

Saturday

We got off to a late start and we all checked out around 11 and then decided to walk to find somewhere to eat. Grabbed some pizza and me and a buddy decided to play some 3 card at Casino Royale where I lost around $200 or so and I decided to book the loss on the trip and spent the rest of the time at the F watching friends play roulette and my one friend play min bet pai gow at the same table as some extremely large drunk dude playing $2,500/hand. And then around 4 somebody had the idea to share a limo to the airport since all our flights were leaving around the same time. Get there just early enough to grab some fast food and catch our flight. I had paid the $50 for the first class upgrade (including two free drinks) for the extra comfort since I’m such a fat shit but between me buying the upgrade and now they had redone their seats so instead of a larger seat with 4 seats in a row first class was now just the same 6 seat aisles with an empty middle seat and slightly more leg room. I was annoyed to say the least. Ended up just pocketing my two drinks and gave them to my buddy who sat in the very last row and is a fan of Jack Daniels.

 

Got home around 1:30 where Bizzle (it’s Peter!) and another FCP’er we’re just getting home from a few drinks after busting out of the Main Event tourney at Canterbury that day. (They stayed at my place Friday/Saturday night while I was gone). Shot the shit with them for a bit then called it a night.

 

Sunday

The three of us went to breakfast at a really good local place and then came back to my place to watch football while those two sweated their DFS lineups before leaving around 4.

If it wasn’t for luck I’d win every time. I’d just like to have a sesh where I don’t lose to some idiot in a pot he never should have been in.

But, but, that’s how you win pots. Bad players playing in bad spots. Don’t be that guy

My roommate from years ago, who advocated against giving me any compensation attached to a portfolio I developed (because it would reduce his piece), appears to be trying it again.

 

Last week, he was complaining to me about being too busy. Straight out of nowhere, I’m potentially bringing in a deal that could be worth perhaps $100k+ annually to the firm, and the CEO has committed to giving the project to me if we land it. Ex-roommate today inserted himself into the situation and suddenly has plenty of time to take meetings. I don’t think he’s going to get anywhere with this attempt, but it’s no less irritating.

 

It’s not enough for him, that he makes 50% more than me for 75% of the time commitment.

Work politics are horrible. I'm naturally a very loyal guy, and when "friends" do stuff like this I take it very personally. Like I would start hoping he died kind of stuff.
