Took me awhile to come up with the title. Many things came to mind. Anyway heres a great story that shows how bad my luck really is..Matasow u run like God compared to me.
So i play the 200K at Stars sunday, then something else at AP...bad beats, etc at both and im just sick of poker. I decide im going to the boat for the half holdem/half omaha game they have on Sunday....
I get there and its the same ol crowd of people i cant stand. Im not a people person at all. 1st off i dont play for fun, i dont play to socialize, i dont like bullshitting. Mostly im quiet just play...i have never said "nice hand" in my life, i dont high 5, etc....i just play. O and i ck raise, which makes me arch enemy #1.
So i get in and start playing and sure enough after ive won a few pots they start whining. 1 guy is next to the dealer just bitchin away that i play to slow and im slowing up the game. he's in seat 1. Seat 2-4 are bitchin that i dont know how to play and its turning into the usual bullshit which is y i rarely go there in the 1st place.
About 3 hours in and im ready to beat the crap out the punk in seat 4 if he says 1 more thing about how bad i played the pot i just won.... But they are all on tilt and trying to beat me with cards they dont usually play so its actually getting better for me. .
As we get ready to switch to holdem i decide to take a break, i get up tell the dealer ill b back and head to the restroom and then take a walk around the boat, look at the girls, etc.
So im gone maybe 15 mins , i figure they should be switching back to Omaha and i head back to the poker room...The room is on the 2nd floor and as i walk in thru the front about a 1/4rd of the crowd goes silent. I look around and they are all looking at me as im walking in.....Not my table but damn near everyone within earshot of the poker room. Something is going on and im freaking out cus obviously they are waiting on me. Im trying to figure out wats happening, ive done nothing wrong and i cant imagine why all these people are looking at me. The 1st thing that pops in my head is they are going to accuse me of something, i dunno wat but this cant be good...I turn away from the tables, i see a guy in the corner smoking i barely know and i go up to him and give him the "bum a smoke sign" and he gives me a cig. Ive got my back to everyone and frankly im scaredshitless to turn around. Im figuring security or the poker room manager will be tapping my shoulder any second. I know ive done nothing but proving it will be embarrassing im sure...
Finally i turn around, virtually the entire poker room and half the rest of the casino is staring straight at me and mumbling to each other. The guy im talking to seems to be clueless as my presence doesnt affect him at all. I dont think he knows any more than i do about wats goin on. I see my table and there is a lot of people gathered around and security is there also..Fuck these fuckers, i walk right up and sit down...whatever they think i done lets get to it..
As i sit down the guy next to me says "u just missed a $500 pot"...Im still trying to focus on wats happening. i notice that nobody is playing and cards are all over the table.....then i see it.
I guy has AA in front of him and another has 1010...on the board is AA10....THEY'VE HIT THE FUCKING BADBEAT JACKPOT WHILE I WAS IN THE BATHROOM!!!!
Thats y everybody is looking at me, the most hated man in the room just lost out on it and they are all ready to see wat ill do....its no big deal to me. yea im disappointed but i dont really give a crap. Well they had apparently all agreed they wouldnt rub it in on me and nobody was saying anything untill the guy next to me said something, then once they knew i knew they all piled on..
Its gonna be awhile as security has to ck it a million times and they have to get player i.d's etc. I get back up and go back in the corner. Everyone is still staring at em and im about as humiliated as ive ever been...They are all saying "wat a fool" and im pretty much in agreement at this point.
As a group they had all decided not to pick on me but to a man they couldnt wait to throw it in my face. Now im feeling sick. Play starts again and im like not even there. Nobody wants to even look my way much less speak to me and its a strange game for sure. They are all happy and wanting to celebrate and at the same time here is me ruining their party cus they dont want to celebrate in front of me..
Now the dealer is pissed as well. im not sure y. some dealers get pissed when somebody wins a lot of maney, i never seen it from this 1 but apparently now he's pissed. A few hands later he starts bitchin that im not protecting my cards, wat? we have had no problems at all but ok.. a few hands later he starts again, telling me he's going to muck my cards if i dont protect them. Then a guy throws his hand in the muck and 1 of his cards come close to mine. The dealer says if his cards had touched mine that my hand would be dead....WHAT?????? Now im pissed, i shove my chair back and tell him fuck you. You wanna go lets go ....Now i like this guy, we have bullshitted many times but im not putting up with this shit. Order is restored and we start play again. They wont switch dealers at our table cus they want him there when everyone gets paid for the jackpot so he can collect tips, etc....Well it takes over an hour and this dealer is pissed, im pissed, the table is happy as can be and its just a sad situation..
I should leave but m already humiliated and leaving would look like i took my chips and ran home crying...i want to leave but i stay. Soon i see security coming and i know its gonna take awhile to count everyones money and fill out forms so back in the corner i go....Where i stand in complete shock as all the other players at my table get paid their share of the 15K jackpot. Nobody will even speak to me. At this point going outside and jumping over the rail into the Mississippi is something im seriously considering.
In those 20 mins i stood there, i thought of killing myself, quitting poker forever, turning into a mass murderer, the whole 9 yds....nothing was out of bounds in my mind.
After the money was paid the game restarted and within 2 hands half the table was gone....i racked up and left. No one said goodbye or even spoke a word to me....
Ya know if they all read the RX they would know that i not only didnt really give a crap but it was fully expected that something like that would happen while im not there...Instead it was a humiliating experience that im still 12 hours later thinking about crying over....Just a total fucked up trip to the boat. Might have been my last as i cant see how i can walk into that poker room again.....^<<^
