Here's a little story about my first big night in a while. The location is Diamond Lil's in Seattle.

I join an 8/16 table with 1 rack, get lucky and win a rack. Sweet, now I have 2 racks for 12/24...
I move to 12/24 and win a hand. Sweet, now I have a rack for 20/40.

12/24 game is off-the-hook but destiny is calling so I join the 20.

Now, please tell me, how can an entire table be content to let me have the best seat in the game? (Seven seat, just to the left of the crazy gambler!)
Do people not understand where the money comes from in poker?

I gamble with the crazy gambler. Best hand: I limp UTG with Ad4d.
Flop: 2c 3s 5c - A bunch of bets go in.
Turn: 8c - 3 bets go in 3 ways.
river: club. F-ME. I check..... hidden text here ---&gt; <font color="white"> I win </font>

About the time I'm up two racks the floor asks if I want the main game. Thumbs down. Guess who gives the thumbs up next?
hidden text here ---&gt; <font color="white"> Yes, the crazy gambler. After all these years of playing live in must move card rooms you'd think I'd learn to discreetly ask the Crazy Gambler if he is going to take the main game. F-ME. </font>

Table is bad and I lose a rack cuz I'm not that great against decent players. After a while of hating myself I move to the main game.

Up and down for a while until something amazing happens:
1) The crazy gambler re-joins the game after an extended trip to the island of Pai-Gow
2) The two best players leave


Now seat nine (very addicted stuck gambler) and Seat 1 (the crazy gambler) start capping most hands with some additional action from seat 8. (pimp?)
I decided to limp re-raise every hand I play. Two select hands:
I limp Ad8d, many calls, addicted gambler raises, many calls, I just call this time. 7 ways x 2.
Flop: 9d Js Kd - I bet, capped 4 ways before it gets back to me.
Turn: blank - ok player bets, I call, addicted gambler raises, ok player 3-bets, I call knowing that addicted gambler will cap.
River: 4d

I limp 66, pimp raises, addicted gambler 3-bets, crazy gambler caps + a few other callers.
Flop: T63r - Capped 4 ways and I never had to raise.
Turn: 8 - I check &amp; 3bet, and 2 people call.
River: Q - I bet and stack chips for a while.

I ended the night with 4k for my biggest night ever. (by far)
I hope everyone reading has a 100BB night soon.
