Banned from the (J)Oaks

[Brown Thumb]

Ok, first of all, I was smoking a lot of P.O.T. yesterday. I went out to get something to eat, and I ended up in Berkeley. After eating, I decided to go play at the Oaks in Emeryville. I had not been there in years.

The place is a total dump now; not that it was every anything special before.

I had $200 and played it up to $600 at 5/10 playing Brown Thumb style. So ... I took it to 10/20.

I played a few orbits and my buzz was wearing off. I looked around and saw that all the other players were Vietnamese. Of course, this was not a problem except for the fact two of them kept talking during the hand and not speaking English. The dealer didn't care.

I didn't care, either because its hard to collude against the Brown Thumb method because either I hit my hand, or I don't.

Anyhow, here it goes.

I take down a pot with 22 that I raised under the gun and two bets back to me ... the guy and his buddy were pumping the pot. I called and my dueces held up when AK did not improve. The other guy folded after I came out betting on the junk flop and the first guy raised. At show down both started laughing at me and calling me names.

after my blinds, I was on the button with 78 Clubs. it was three bets to me because guy number 1 raises and his buddy re-raises. I call, Guy number one caps.

Flop is 456 with two clubs. guy number 1 checks, buddy checks, I bet ... raise, raise. I cap. Both start talking, and call.

Right now, I'm getting pissed and as the turn brings a duece, both start yapping and guy number one bets, guy number 2 raises. I call time and ask for the floor man.

I tell the floor man these guys are pumping the pot and talking to each other during the hand (Hey, I have the nuts, so I want this to be a good burn). The dealer looks the other way, and nobody at the table will confirm my story. I say "f'this" and I raise. I get warned for language.

Guy one calls, guy 2 folds. I ask the floor man to look at his hand. Floor man tells me to calm down and play out the hand.

River is Ace of Hearts, I still have the nuts. Guy 1 checks, I bet, he check-raises (while the other guy starts cackling) I raise, he calls.

I show my strait, he shows AA and says, "you lucky, you get card with trash like that."

I told him that if he sucked his buddy's cock he might get lucky cards.

He jumps up and tries to slap me from across the table, he spills chips and says he will kill me. The floor man jumps in and boots both of us. Security comes and makes me rack up, cash out and go.

Floor man tells me never to come back, because I incited a fight.

I have about a grand and I RUN right to my car and bail out of there before those guys got any ideas.

I made it home and fired up some P.O.T.

Now I remember why I only play online.

I have played live twice since I moved to Florida and both times their ended up being a fight. Luckily each time I remembered to bring the Desert Eagle. I was not involved with the fights so it didn't have to make an appearance, but my hand was on it.

So yea...online poker only.

.50 cal?

P.S. I <3 Brown Thumb.

[kfellmy]

no .44 auto mag

A guy that was at the game asked if it was a 50 and I looked at him funny. He said they made the gun in 44 auto mag and 50. I had no idea that the gun was being made in 50 caliber.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
So 'desert eagle' is a gun??

(sorry....I seriously had no idea)

[russellmj]

The Desert Eagle is a giant handgun. I doubt it could be
concealed effectively. I had no idea firearms were welcome in some casinos. Whether you have a permit or not.
