Man, I am disappointed.

Last game at the Professor's Game I've been attending and it ended badly. Backstory, I worked at an institute and heard a professor played in a home game, got an invite, and have been enjoying a great relaxed .50/.50 $50 buyin dealer's choice game. 7card stud, 5 card draw, hold'em. Very profitable and relaxed game. I usually ended up being the one dictating action. I'm not shouting over everyone but I have to keep track of the action; its no-limit and everyone splashes the pot/string bets/bets for less than the last raise so someone has to keep track, when people get confused they look to me and I have to know where things stand.

An old tennis friend of the host came and brought his own bottle of Eagle Rare, downed over half of it over the course of the game/story. He was yelling over everyone, often with the wrong bet amounts. Figured out I was from Jersey and was busting my chops from the beginning. I let it go but was losing and generally annoyed at him. I only spoke up when he was wrong about who owed what or where the action was. This annoyed him, and so I was on his radar. I wasn't gonna yell over him but a wrong bet is a wrong bet, and of course when he realized he was wrong it was because I had lost control of the table. Me, the random guy who folded preflop and was just correctiing where action started on 6th St. I wasn't blameless, I was definitely annoyed at him and made that clear while responding to his wrong directions.

By the end I saw the two older gentlemen turn their hearing aids off. Guy next to me was dealing, loud mouth was yelling again and I said chill let him deal, action is on X. Too much. "Who the fuck is this guy?" and getting aggressive, standing up. Host wanted us to stay but there's no coming back from that, I cashed out for a small loss. Not worth the risk of a fight or worse, we only had an hour left to go anyways then we'd both be walking to our cars. Better to skeedaddle.

I feel bad for my part and that I won't see those players again, moving away in a week, but glad there was no fight or further confrontation. Host is coming to my game on Friday and will debrief there.

Bummer. Oh well, gotta overthink every little interaction now.

Old picture from my first time there. I've since upgraded the cards to Bicycle Prestige, no luck on the chips.

Nothing worse than having one that ruins it for all. Sorry that happened. But better days lay ahead!

Cancún wedding for an old friend. Bride got cold feet and didn't show up. Resort was able to source 4 boxes of bullshit chips from a nearby Walmart and we hacked together a game in the cigar lounge. Playing on the "wedding" night.

Super sorry for your friend.

My sister had her 'soon to be' become unfaithful two weeks before the weeding. The out-of-state family weren't about to cancel all their flight and hotel reservations so we had an amazing "un-wedding" celebration the day of. Honestly one of the best family get-togethers we've ever had. One we still talk about a couple decades after the event.

That’s awful. Good on the resort for having some positive influence on the situation.
