I just listened to Kenny Rogers over and over again for an hour:




On a warm summers evenin on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin out the window at the darkness
til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.

He said, son, Ive made a life out of readin peoples faces,
And knowin what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
So if you dont mind my sayin, I can see youre out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey Ill give you some advice.

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, if youre gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

Now evry gambler knows that the secret to survivin
Is knowin what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
cause evry hands a winner and evry hands a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

So when hed finished speakin, he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count you r money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

Recently, a gambling cowyboy-type named Montana Mike sat down at the 10/20 game at Bellagio and said to me "You've got 10K there kid? What's it gonna take for that to get in the pot? Set vs. set? Flush vs. flush? You ain't got the balls to gamble in this game pal"

permission to use this?

I immediately sized him up and offered him to flip him for his stack (exactly 3K). He started backing off, talking about how he can do it but won't so I keep telling him we can do 3 1K flips, 1 3k flip, whatever he wants. He backs off.

At this point, one other guy with 5K is like "Bet you won't flip me for this stack." I pull out a coin and tell him to call it in the air and flip it up. As the coin is in mid-air, he says "never mind, forget about it." I've now offered 6 people to flip for their stacks (all of them at least 3K) in the last 3 days and not a single one has taken me up on it.

can i use this?

While I was at the Venetian last month, a few friends came to visit. We were playing 1/2 NL, craps, and blackjack and I couldn't win anywhere. I didn't want to leave the casino with $55 in chips, and the cage was way to far away to walk to for $55. I said "[censored] it, run it up or lose it". Somehow going home with $0 after gambling it away is better than cashing out for $55 when you're stuck &gt;$1K.

So I put the $55 on black, and it hits. Next spin I ask the super-hot girl at the table what she thinks, she says black again as her boyfriend gives me one of those "nobody can talk to my girlfriend" looks. I leave it on black and it hits again. She cheers for me even though her BF had $500 on red. I ask her again and she says red this time, "definitely". I move the whole thing to red minus the $20 in red chips. I turn to my friends who are laughing it up at this point, and one of them says to play some numbers with the redbirds. So I let it ride on 5, 6, and 9 for $5 each. As I'm drinking my Jack and Coke, I look and the ball stops on red 5 and I yell SHIP IT! So now I'm up a ton on the $55 I started with. But [censored] it, one more spin. I do the same thing, 5, 6, 9 and red. The girl then tells me again that its coming black "definitely". So I tell the dealer to move my bet to black just in time. This time the ball stops on black 6, SHIP IT ALL.

Not a bad turn around on the night.

Hopscotch match with a waitress from work tomorow night at midnight in front of the restaurant. Loser is slave for a day. Not sure if I'll use her for sex or house cleaning, I'm worried if i try the sex first, she'll back out and my house will remain trashed. I have to look up the rules to hopscotch at some point today, I don't quite remember how to even play.

i had like, $435 on full tilt. not worth withdrawing, so i took it to a $1knl table.

i posted in the co, got 8s5s, raised to $45, got two callers. flop was some cards that didn't hit me at all. i bet out $140 and took down the pot.

very next hand (utg) i got 3h4h and limped. some dude raised to $45, i called along with some other people. flop was 543. i check planning on check raising all in but some other dude raises all in behind me, so i just call and spike a 3 on the turn. i'm shipped $1970.

someone told me my utg limp was 'juicy' so i called it a night.
