12 hours of cards..
Last night was a Neighbor’s annual holiday guys night... Usually involves several $20 turbos of what might be loosely categorized as poker, but the play (and etiquette) is so slow and bad, I use these events more as an excuse to catch up with neighbors. Etc. if I considered it “poker” my OCD on etiquette would drive me insane. I did offer to provide chips and a PCF topper to the game, the host eagerly accepted. (The players raved about the topper).
The night started out at 4pm at another neighbor’s holiday party (directly across from @Jason house). They go all out... AND there’s a lot of degenerate alpha males in the neighborhood who have lots of money, love to play poker drunk, but have no clue how to play well. I planned to go to this party with my wife, hang for a couple hours, then head off to another neighbors “guys” night). During the party, @Jason starts to rally the guys for post party poker at his place (a normal end to the evening with this group). I explain I’m playing elsewhere, but ask him to keep me in the text loop if they’re still playing later (after my other game breaks up), which I assume is a sure thing. While still at this party, one of Jason’s new neighbors is bragging about how drunk he is and how he just won around 8k from a slot machine at a casino, so he has lots of money for rebuys (this was later confirmed).
Around 6pm I head to my other buddy’s house for cards (Chips and topper ready). They typically do three turbo games, but I only made it into the second game, when I busted early in a boat over boat hand against a pure novice. Oh well. Do I wait around for 90-120 minutes for the next game to start, or listen to the dozen drunk texts I’m getting from Jason to come over to play at his place.
This is the topper I’m talk8mg about (though this isn’t my pic)
I excuse myself from turbo fest game and head to Jason’s. He was not joking. We start out with a .50/1/10 game... it’s actually just .50/1, but that drunk 8k guy is raising blind to $10 pre 100% off the hands. He’s actually a decent card player, but clearly doesn’t like Money or care about results. He’s actually running like god, busting out his neighbors, then gifting them $50-ish stacks of his chips to keep them playing. We eventually move to 1/2 stakes, and it gets crazy
There’s also another run-good expert (but total poker newbie) that took one of these $50 gifts from 8k guy and turned it into a $600 stack in an hour. Guy could NOT lose, despite getting it AIPF against me several times with 2-3% equity and drilling the river 1-2 outter. Despite these guys’ ridiculous runs, I finish up $150-ish on the night.
@Highlander3 was there as well, and I’m sorry didn’t get any pics of players. Several of
The wives were over at Jason’s dancing and drinking. It was a fun night. Anyway, we quit playing cards around 6am. Ugh. The chips And table were awesome (as usual).
