My bro went to a casino with $23 after he lost out of a pool tourney and made $200 playing deuces wild, then a thousand playing bj, on the way out the door he stuck a hundred into a $10 video poker machine, hit 4 jacks on the first deal for $2500, then they made him play it again so the 4 jacks werent on the screen and the machine dealt him a royal flush for $40,000. That's pretty good I think...

one year we hit vegas at chinese new year. my friend and I were going to the poker room and passed by the asian games pit. a old chinese guy was sitting there with two young hotties, playing paigow poker for about 5K a hand and sitting with about 90K in front of him. we passed by again and he was there with a larger stack. we passed by again and he was at the felt. and laughing it up, not giving a [censored] about it at all.

another time in reno, there was a middle eastern looking guy sitting at a private table near the escalators. he was playing big (not sure how big) and was flanked by some scary looking dudes. he got down to the felt, held a hand up to the dealer, whispered to scary looking guy #1 and sat back. SLG#1 pulled out a cell phone (this was way back in the day, so that was pretty impressive in and of itself) and called someone. a few minutes later, scary looking guy #3 and #4 come down the escalator and SLG#3 has a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. he walks over to the table, the player opens the case, pulls out a thick wad of hundreds and starts playing again. SLG#3 and #4 turn around and go back up the escalator.

I'll have to remember that method the next time I'm broke at the table and need another $100 from the wife.

In January of 2004, I got tired of waiting so long to sit in a poker game at my local casino. I decided to try online poker. I didnt know much about it and since party poker was the one I heard about the most, thats the one I tried. I deposited $100 and gave it a try. I played .50-$1 just to get the feel of it. I played about a week and it was down to $12. I was kind of discouraged about the online poker thing. I sat down at two tables at $6 a piece and decided to play it off. I ran it up to about $70. So every night after work I would play a little bit and started taking notes on the players and started tracking down the really bad players. Two and a half months later, it was up to about $1700. Then I discovered bonus whoring and other sites and have since paid off two credit cards, paid off my wife's bankruptcy, bought a new LCD screen, and took a trip to Las Vegas. True story.

I wasn't there, but a couple friends of mine took a cross-country road trip a couple years ago and stopped in Vegas for a couple days. One of the guys was dumb enough to lose most of the $500 or so he had budgeted for the rest of the trip early on and only had about $75 left for the trip back across the country. He just said "[censored] it" and put it all on one roulette square. Of course, it hit, and he walked out with a cool $2,625.

Was at the casino last year sometime and decided to take a break from blackjack for abit. So i sat down at a carribean stud table. First three hands I got, I was dealt a pair of 7's. After the 3rd time, I said to the dealer:

"you know you just dealt me a pair of 7's three hands in a row"
she replies: "wow, you should go play roulette"

So after about an hour, my buddy comes over and asks if i want to grab a bite to eat, we both get up and walk towards the food court, low and behold, we pass a roulette table, at that point, i only had green chips ($25) and though why the heck not, i was about to put it down on number 7 but there were so many damn people at the table that i couldnt get my bet in on time. I think you guys know where this story is going... low and behold, number 7 hits. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Nice take.

Not that impressive but my one friend on his 19th bday goes to the racetracks and puts $5 on a 10:1 horse, cashes his $50 and never returns. He's been winning at poker lately.
