[cking]

Rake wasn't too bad, they took 4 out of any pot over 30 i believe, but most the pots were so big you didnt notice, and $1 of that went to the Bad beat jackpot. As far as different from a normal casino, well here is another story from early in the night that i thought was funny.

Guy sitting in seat 2 at the waiting table is pretty good and an obvious regular. He is a young black guy wearing gucci sunglasses and has a big diamond ear ring. Partway thru the game he gets a phone call and i hear him saying the following "well check the weapons locker, I know my M16 is there and there should be yours and 2 female M16s..." I'm going oh [censored] this is some gang leader and if i put a bad beat on him he's going to shoot me.

Well after the conversation he pulls out some printed sheets of paper and im in seat 4 so i lean in close to see what is on them, "Drill Sargent Training Test 2". The guy was in the army. Semi-racist profile by me i guess, but it was what i expected in an underground cardroom.

Other different things include they were nice about not calling string bets or slow rolls, as the players just didnt know what they were doing and they would only call it if they thought they were being clever and trying to intentionally trick the other player. Also the players loved showing their cards after hands, nothing like showing you called an 8x bb raise preflop, another 15x bb raise on the flop then went allin on the turn with your J7o. It was funny when they would make that move with no FE, me or my friend calls and they muck before the river is even dealt.

Not sure whatelse i can say is different, the whole atmosphere is, the players on whole are probably a bit worse here as this is their only live experience (and poker in general, i asked most all if they played online, the standard answer was it's rigged/i dont know how). Anyway I'm going back tonight, hoping to earn the rest of this months rent. Wish me luck
