The floor at hollywood park decides to clean up the casino

SNOWBALL · #1 07-14-2007, 10:15 AM

There is no act in america that a player at hollywood park will not do. I've seen a man covertly remove his pants at the table. I've seen guys so scratch-happy, oblivious, and without shame, that they will go elbows deep into their trousers for the better part of a minute. One time, a guy threw his chips at me (I kept them), another time a guy started loudly cursing at me, and when I called the floor on him, he told the floorman to get lost, lied about losing his cool, and then when he was called on it by other players, he defiantly stated to the floor, "what are you gonna do about it!?" and went back to ignoring him.

However, tonight was the only time I've ever seen anyone asked to leave by the floor. The offense was accidentally exposing his cards when he folded preflop on two hands. The exact same floorman gave a 15 minute penalty to a one-handed guy who throw his cards in the air when his pocket eights lost to overcards. The one handed guy decided to just call it quits for the night.

IMO-both actions by the floor were unacceptable. He [censored] up my game. Both of the players were fairly bad, and I'd have prefered them to stay. Why can't he have the same attitude with the guys who go finger-spelunking in their asscracks between hands, and contaminate the world with their fecal matter!?

You should use your judo on them.

Sometimes the floor actions seem random. If the floor doesn't know exactly what happen, they seem to warn the entire table. ... and if they think the person is a tourist, they do absolutly nothing.

But if they have a bad day, they play God.

Usually they are just doing their job.

Hollywood Park is the nastiest Casino in California. And yes, I have played at the Palace in Hawyward. I never play at Hollywood Park for the aforementioned reasons. I was at Hpark about two years ago and I man was bleeding at the table. He got blood all over the table, chips, and cards. That was the only time I ever lost it with a dealer/floorman/security personel. UHH, ever hear of HIV????

mmmm hollywood park. The only thing better than people asking to bum smokes off you outside the card room door is busto bums asking you to spare a dollar chip. Not cash, just chips.

and the people staking out the cashier's cage for "gas money" because their car is outta gas. Hahahaha. No way I fall for that. Last time this 55 year old persian guy comes up to me at the cage when I'm done cashing out trying to scam me, and I just called him out on it. "No sir. You're lying to me. There's no way you ran out of gas and then lost all your money here. I know you're trying to scam me"

Tonight a badly disheveled elderly guy with maybe 5 teeth total came up to the player on my left and put his arm on his shoulder and mumbled "you're gonna win the next three hands" hahahaha. The player on my left really lost it with him. That's definitely going in my HP archives with worst scams ever.

Maybe worse still was a couple years ago when I was about to sit in a 3 game with a couple racks and this 65 year old asian woman came up to me and said "Looks like you're winning."
"No, I just got here"
"Stake me 300?"

"NO!"

And, with the same grace as a bee moving on to the next flower, she doesn't miss a beat in hitting up another player 3 or 4 seconds later. So awesome. This lady was a true grad-level sleezebag.

One armed guy is a regular and regularly is asked to leave. I think he even got banned for a little while for the crap he pulls. Last night I was cashing in and a lady gets there at the same time I do, she asks to go first because she was only cashing in 3 dollar chips.

I let her go first and she says: if I give her two that would make five. Uhhhh no thanks ma'am.

Why do you go there? The games are no better there than anywhere else.
