Just got my stack in on the turn against table fish, board pairs 5's on the river....REBUY!

Thought he was chasing diamonds, but not even lol

Put in my food order, right before I'm gonna go get it one guy busts, two guys leave, I get up to pickup my order and hold em fish says "good game" and racks up

I get my food and they put fucking cheese on it when it says no cheese, argh!
 
Fish: "Is this seat open?"

Anthony: "Go ahead and have a seat. The water is warm."

Short while later, Anthony has the fish... right where he wants him.

New fish at table raised to 15 after multiple limpers preflop

Flop 922. He check-calls to river against another fish. On river he leads 200, gets called and shows 9965. #ConfirmedCuban

Have I told you about the time I ordered a Coke and they gave me Diet Coke?
 
Was in for $2500 and down to $600

Flopped top set on a draw heavy board and repotted over a short stack who has been bleeding all night

He calls off with just the top pair Jacks and turns a straight draw, I have a blocker

Safe river and he rebuys, I make a little progress

WOW what a fucking hand

Solid player :ac::kh::qs::2s:
Fish 1 :5h::5d:xx
Fish 2 :as::kd::8s:x

Flop :ah::ks::5s:

All the money goes in, the run twice

Set of 5's holds first board. 2nd board case king hits river
 
Argh, UTG with :ah::7h::7s::6h:

Rock is UTG+1.

Fish next to her raises to 15, two callers, hyper aggro fish pots it, folds to me. I don't want to play a bloated pot OOP with a middling hand and fold

Flop :2h::4s::7c:

Checked to hyper fish who pots it again. Hate missing spots to punish
 
aggro fish from previous post bets flop, we call (we had rock, was limped pre)

We turn nuts, we check, he bets 40, we checkraise to 210, he calls

He drills the magical :8s: on the river and we check call a 150 bet

So didn't have the energy to spout off last night, but post-Covid the level of service in every aspect of our lives seems to have dropped considerably. Lots of businesses are understaffed, struggling to fill positions, nobody wants to work, so they're just filling spots with warm bodies.

The past three days I've been driving to the Hard Rock and for twenty fucking minutes each day I'd try to call the poker room to get my name put on a list. It would just ring and ring and ring, sometimes for minutes, nobody picks up. I'd call back, and call back, to no avail. ONE of the days after calling for about 15 minutes I finally got through to someone, when I was practically almost at the casino already.

When you arrive you usually find one brush at the front desk with a lengthy line trying to deal with the people in front of them, call open seats or new games and also responsible for answering the phones. Yesterday there were TWO people on the list when I left my house, but because I couldn't reach anyone on the fucking phone, by the time I arrived the list was 12 deep and I got stuck waiting a couple of hours for a seat after the game finally got called.

Then last night I experienced something that pissed me off to no fucking end. Despite the CDC walking back the concern over surface contamination for Covid a long time ago, the Hard Rock continues to need to clean any open seats before they sit a new player down. So when a player busts or leaves, before they can start calling names on the list you have to wait for someone to show up and wipe down the railing and the seat.

Yesterday we had a list of about 12 people for 2/2 PLO, and two games running. My table had a seat open for 30 minutes, it was cleaned, no one was being called. Then they....................CALL A THIRD FUCKING 2/2 PLO TABLE! So a flood of players goes to that table, still no one filling our empty seat. While this occurs, TWO players decide to leave at the same time, so now our table has THREE fucking open seats.

I see a floor person at the next table over cleaning an empty seat and chatting up some players. I get up and when he's done talking to the players I mention we have three open seats and need two of them cleaned. He gives me a stupid face and responds "oh, ya, ok" and then..........walks off.

Absolute fucking trash, they don't give two shits about providing any level of service, it's ridiculous. I felt like I was having a Karen moment, I wanted to speak to his fucking manager lol

Time for a new job??? :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
Two options...
  1. Slide the brush $100. Get "bumped up" the list. You are a frequent customer, earning 5 figures when you are sitting, and zero figures waiting. Isn't it worth half of a post-flop bet to get back in the seat?
  2. Vacation. You need a break. You've had perhaps the worst week since you've gone pro. Kick back, relax. visit friends. Get away from poker for a week or two. Reset your brain. The Meet in the Suite 2021 is happening in June. Get away from poker for a while and get into the fun of Circus Games. Given your recent downturn, I promise not to take advantage and call PLO... :sneaky:

I actually hand the brush $5 everytime I see them. I don't see anyone really take care of them at all

The fact that you have been eyes open long enough to even know if anyone else takes any care of them is proof you need a vacation. The kind of specialized brain damage you are suffering from can empty a bank roll faster than high class hookers. For the love of God take a vacation before you actually need me to build a stripper stage outside.
