AC Trip Report days 1 and 2

[Karak567]

Day 3 to come tomorrow night since... tomorrow is day 3.

I have hands, stories about arguments and table coaches and a floor manager who got real pissed at me because I jokingly rolled my eyes.

I will post the hands first and the stories second.

Arrive here Monday, check in and immediately start playing. I was going to play 2/5 NL but decided to buy-in 300 to the 1/2 NL instead.

At the first table I play there is a very drunk, arrogant SOB constantly shoving and showing his bluffs. He was always very proud of himself.

I get invovled in a HU hand with him where I hold KQ. I raised preflop, he min re-raised (normal for him wtih ATC), I called.

Flop is Q64 rainbow. I check; he shoves as usual; I call.

Turn and river blank. I flip my cards. He shows one queen and goes like he is about to muck. Sits there for about 10 seconds then rolls an ace and starts laughing.

Hysterical.

There's one buy-in gone. (A buy-in is 300 dollars at these tables)

At another table I get 88 and call a (standard) 15 dollar open raise. About five other people call too. Flop is 678, two clubs.

I bet the pot (which is large) and a guy who had been playing very tight goes into this big speech about how I must really like my hand. He then calls virtually putting himself all in.

Turn is a T, money gets in (I was getting 4 or 5 to 1 on my call). He has 79, river obviously bricks. There goes another buy-in.

Next big hand. I have 57s and limp on the button after literally the entire table limps to me. SB completes; BB checks.

Flop is 369 with two spades. I bet around pot and get raised. I 3-bet and he pushes. I call getting 3.5-1. Turn and river brick brick. Of course. He had 33.

There goes another buy-in. Stuck about a grand now.

Yet another hand!

I am on a pretty loose table, but oddly it folds to the SB (I am the BB). The SB has been making these grand heroic calls all night long. For example: calling a 50 dollar bet into a 30 dollar pot with ace high on the river. He loves to hero call. I ask him if he wants to chop. He looks at his cards, says "no" and then raises to 15 dollars. I then lament about him not chopping and take a look at my cards. Black aces.

I then offer him to chop now if he wants it. I try to sound really annoyed. He still refuses. I say "FINE!" and fire 60 dollars into the pot.

He thinks forever and is about to toss his cards into the muck when he says "I won't respect myself in the morning if I don't do this" and calls.

Flop is 48J two spades

He checks. Pot is 160ish. He has around 220 behind. I remember that he is a hero caller so I go all in.

He tanks and thinks for a solid 20-30 seconds. He then sighs and says "well I guess I have to call" and flips 88.

Brick brick. I say "Did you just slow roll me?"

Him: "Yeah I guess I did, didn't I?"

Dealer: "that's not technically a slow roll"

I ignored them both.

So there goes another buy-in. Stuck around 1200 now on the trip.

When you think I can't run worse... I do.

In one pot the board was 45682 rainbow. I had 77. Villain called me on the flop, called me on the turn and then minraised me on the river. I called and he shows 79. Sick.

A hand I played well (and still lost money):

UTG raises to 8 (wow small raise) and one other guy and the CO call. I am on the button with KK. I make it 30. Two callers, one fold.

Flop is 945 with two spades. UTG checks, CO checks, I fire 60.

UTG hollywoods then folds. Button then moves all in like 350 dollars. I have him covered (but trust me, I'm still not up on the day to that point).

I evaluate my read and the situation and place him squarely on a set. I muck my KK face up. The table starts berating me for it... until button shows 99. Then they are all praising me. Yeah, STFU donkeys! I don't need the lessons.

There are tons of table coaches here. I don't know why they won't STFU. I watched some guy berate an old woman for calling all in on a flush draw. Who cares? Seriously.

But probably the best table coach:

This guy and I were sitting at a table for hours. He was solid, kind of. He would probably be solid sober. He and I had been talking most of the time and he seemed like a nice guy.

He is in a hand where he flops top set and another guy flops a pair and a flush draw. The guy hits the second nut flush (also the second nuts) on the river and simply check/calls. My "friend" gets up and walks in a lap around the card room then comes back. He is silent for about ten minutes.

Then all of a sudden out of no where he starts screaming (literally screaming) at the guy who caught the flush. The floor is instantly there and tells him to calm down. He says "No." They pull him aside and yell at him and he calms down... til' 20 minutes later where I make a joke about never losing to some other guy and he starts flipping out again. The floor threatens to kick him out and he shuts up for the remainder of the night.

I played in a 50 + 10 with 50 add-on tournament. The skill level of play in the tournament was pretty much on par with PartyPoker play money.

I make it to the final three tables (I would eventually cash).

There is a woman at one of the tables who was probably in her mid thirties. She has sunglasses on and is playing this like the final table of the WSOP. For literally every decision she made from calling a preflop raise to an all-in, she would stare down her opponent. She basically looked like a complete ass.

In one of the hands it folds to the SB who completes 1/4 of his stack. The BB (the woman I just described above) had posted too little of her BB. She goes to fix it (this is the third time the dealer asked her to do it) and it seems like she pushed her blind up. The dealer deals the flop just as she says "I'm all in". The SB then says "call". The BB then flips her hand.

Immediately she starts demanding to know why the flop is dealt. "Because you checked" the dealer told her. He was probably right.


Now you have to understand, the SB has about 4,000 chips. The blinds are 500-1000. This isn't a huge pot.

What does she do? She calls the floor over. The floor asks the guy if he called all-in on the flop anyways. He says "yes" and flips his A2. Her A4 is good on a flop of A89.

The floor asks her if she is ok with this solution and she, obviously, says "yes."

Then the turn brings a deuce. River blanks.

She then starts screaming for the floor to come back. She is now demanding her money back because apparently the SB said he would fold preflop if she had pushed preflop ([censored]) and refuses to release her cards. This stops the action. She had conceded to the floor's decision when she was ahead. Now she expected the floor to reverse his decision and return not only her chips, but the SB's small blind to her.

Ok lady.

She keeps yelling at the floor. All the while the tournament blind ticker keeps going. I am at 11 BB, the blinds will hit me next hand and go up in 4 minutes. If she doesn't STFU soon I'm pretty well [censored].

I, along with others, start insisting that the floor tells her to STFU and let us continue the hand. She finally releases it. I make some kind of comment along the lines of "now that we wasted 5-6 minutes on that". This causes her to explode at me: "MAYBE IT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU BUT THAT WAS A BIG DEAL AND A BIG POT TO ME"

I say "this tournament is like 100 dollars and that pot was 8 big blinds."

She shuts up for 10 seconds and then explodes at the dealer, telling him he doesn't know how to do his job right and he should learn to pay attention and learn how to do his job. He just kind of smiles at her and is pushed the next hand.

She busts soon after and storms out, leaving an expensive bracelet behind because she is so upset over this 50 + 50 tournament. lollll The floor manager gives the braclet to security, obv, but she never comes back for it.

And finally the angry floor manager. I hate taking -EV bets, but I have to play at least one spin of roulette, one shoot of craps and one hand of blackjack before I leave.

I am fulfilling my dream this evening while walking around the casino. I've been playing in the poker room for days now and have never been carded. Baby faced guys around me have but they never batted an eye at me.

I got carded while watching craps then I got carded while changing my money for blackjack and then I go to roulette and the floor manager cards me again. I was kind of annoyed because none of the other previous people would stamp my hand (which prevents further cardage), but I just smile and jokingly roll my eyes at my friend and say "third time tonight!"

Well, for whatever reason, this makes the floor manager very angry. He rips my license out of my hand. It is in a plastic protector and he rips it out of that too. He was struggling with getting it out and I said "sorry it's kind of a pain to get out". And he responds "yeah it might be a pain but getting fired, losing my job and not being able to support my family over some kid's age would be a damn pain too." I am like "umm, I was talking about the plastic protector" He then looks at my birthdate (I just turned 21) and says "wow a real young one and he already has a god damn attitude" I am kind of taken aback by this, but just laugh at him. Then he says "I am going to go swipe this. I really hope it is expired. I really hope it is"

He then goes and swipes it. It is not expired and comes back good. He returns and like slams the hand stamp on my hand.

I said "thank you sir have a good night" in a really sincere voice.

He says "you are the youngest person to ever roll his [censored] eyes at me when I carded them."

I wasn't rolling my eyes at him! I was just laughing to my friend. Whatever, I'm sorry his life sucks. Not my fault!

I have more stories and day 3 to come tomorrow. Let's hope I can get unstuck before I get out of here.

read first word and was bored already. i dunno if its fair but its true. i think many will agree. did not read.

[cdanarch]

SHUT THE [censored] UP. IT WAS A GOOD STORY.

[2weak]

A+

[schundler]

the AA vs. 88 blind battle slowroll was awful. I'd have tilted off my entire roll if that happened to me.

[Astyanax]

Great story and I know what you mean...

Story one - I raise £14 otb with AQ clubs...Flop comes Q high 2 clubs. Woman shoves for £50 acting first. I instacall - turn is a king and she starts whooping and cheering...she has KQ. She then proceeds to tell me she is pot committed pre-flop and she did the right thing all the way. i restrained myself except for a very sarcastic 'well played'.

At the gutshot in london I play the £50 and £100 freezeout from time to time. There is this total tool who always starts sentences like 'yeah so I was playing 25/50 in the Bellagio last night'...What a moron...why is he playing in a £50 freezeout and more to the point who gives a fooook.

Keep em coming.

[vos]

A- bring up the next one!

Maybe when you're old enough to enter a casino yourself you might find it more interesting. Now go back to doing your spelling homework, little troll.

This is what we really get paid to do. Super standard.

[lippy]

I would definitely of asked to speak to that Floor's manager. That's ridiculous.
