Arrived Thursday around 3:00pm. Checked in, and was surprised how nice the Nuggett was, rooms were clean and nice (better than the Mirage's), and the Casino Bathrooms were spotless..big sign of quality.....anyway, headed down to the sportbook and made a few bets (strictly for drink tickets). Sat down, turn around...and I recognize FISHHEAD. I say hey Fish, and he he smiles and we get a couple beers and then walk around.
He turns out to be a really cool cat and THIS GUY KNOWS HIS MATH, and is one of the few really SHARP gamblers I have met in my life. Believe him when he says he wins at slots, he does, and he SHOWED me how he does it, very smart stuff.
Then Fish and I go play in the "big" game at the nuggett at the time ie..$4-$8 lmfao. He loses around 80 and I lose around 60. NOw I'm broke so I ask fish for a loan....just kidding. NOw it's about 7 so we head to the SPORTS BAR and I meet Buzzsaw, VOODOO (another sharp mofo and a good guy, Fezzik, Roberto, a guy from LVR,...Shrink rolls in about 10 minutes late (alot younger and more athletic than I imagined) and we head to his suite aka pink palace.
The meeting is stuffy and serious and I'm wishing I stayed in the Sportsbook or the poker table but I get a good sense of the genuinely good intentions of the people there. Marty, who I later find out took over, seems like an extremely articulate and intelligent operater and Buzz seems to understand exactly what can be accomplished at the meeting, and sets out to meet that goal. The meeting last around 1 1/2 hours and we all head out.
I leave and head to my room (after 14 beers) take a shower and a 20 minute nap, meet up with Madjack and Kosar (two of the best guys in the world) at the sports bar...we get drunk and tell stories and head to the Mirage. Kosar and Jack are too drunk to wait to play, so they disappear into the smokey shadows of Vegas.
I play a little 10-20 and win a hundred, then play 2-5 blind no limit and get up about $400 only to have a scumbag degenerate steal about $300 when I (I raise to $30 preflop with QQ, get 1 caller (scumbag) flop comes QJ4 all clubs, I bet $60 (pot sized bet to wreck his odds of drawing to a club) he calls (now I'm concerned about him having a flush) but I look over and it "APPEARS" that he only has about $50 in red left, the turn is a red blank so I say "I'll put you all in"...he says CALL!!! as fast as he can and turns his cards over--AS FAST AS HE CAN. He then proceeds to pull 3 BLACK CHIPS (100's) out of the RAIL in order to call my $350 bet that I thought was a $50 bet. SCUMBAG! Needless to say, he has the nut clubs and I fail to pair the board. I realize this is my mistake, and a costly one at that.
I immediatley grab the $400 I have left in chips and cash out and head to the Nuggett, would have gotten crushed being on tilt like I was now.
That was Thursday. More to follow.....
