Polynice gets pillaged pt. 1



I played a couple sessions since my last post and was saved by a drunk chick teasing me with her titties, a Jamaican dude going all-in blind every hand and Olden Polynice showing up at the right time and immediately tilting.

Anyways I went up to HP and was seated by the floorman Rick, who always reminds me that I'm his "brother," because we're just cool like that. Plus I tip him well. He sits me down at this table where there is a bunch of I don't remembers and a chick with a shirt that is unbuttoned to her navel. She's drinking and the view is just amazing. I've actually played with her once at Commerce and seen her around a few times. I know she likes to drink, knows the game, but unravels and bleeds her chips off. So I was happy to see her for numerous reasons. I was sitting in seat 1 and she was in seat 5 so the angle was just perfect. However, her mom was sitting behind her.

Yeah I know, "what the fuck" crossed my mind several times as well.

In addition to her, there were two other donks. The problem was my boy was constantly texting me and telling me that I had to get to his table because the entire table was weak. So I ask for the table change reluctantly and headed over there as soon as a seat opened.

The players were so bad that by the time I got there, none of them had chips left and the timing just sucked. I played the table for about two hours and made like $33 before I requested to be switched back to my original table. This took a long time because my table had become short handed and they wouldn't let me leave the game until it filled up.

Finally got moved to the table and it turned out that by the time I got there, she was really the only donk. Well, this guy I know who is extra nice to me and thinks I'm some kind of millionaire pro (who plays the 2/5 lol) and always asks me for advice was there and he's terrible but I didn't really go after him. The guy hadn't been to Hollywood Park for eight months and is enrolled in Gambler's Anonymous so he showed up with $40 to play the $40. He made $200 and took it to the $200. When I got to the table he had $800 in front so I can't say that I wasn't thinking about that too.

I just realized this is gonna get really long if I talk about the whole night in detail.

At a certain point my boy was kind of waiting around for me to leave and I was considering it (up like $100 on the night) but the thought of getting all the girl's chips kept me at the casino and my boy took off.

Somehow she built her stack up and I finally got in a hand with her. I have 77 and make it $25. She's on my direct right. Everyone folds to her and she calls. Flop: A-5-7. She checks and I don't put her on an ace, so I check. Turn: 7. Shit. I wanted her to catch a card but instead I caught a fucking hail mary when I already had the lead. Luckily, she comes out betting $60. I call.

Turn is the jack of diamonds, which puts out a flush and I know she doesn't have the flush so I'm worried she thinks I have a flush and she checks to me. I'm trying to figure out how much to bet and I just make it $60. She calls with A-5. Fuck! I could have had her whole stack on the flop.

The rest of the night she is whispering to me how much she appreciates that I didn't put her all-in with my quads. I'm thinking well if I knew your ass flopped two pair I would have put you all-in with the quickness biatch but I had no idea you even had an ace. My bad.

I also lost my stack with aces: I raise pre-flop and the small blind asks me if he calls will I check it down. I say no, he flops his set of 333 and I double him up. Next hand I double some other fool up when I call his all-in with AK and he flops a set of 666, leaving me drawing dead on the flop.

Now I'm in for $500 and our game is dying a slow death. We're down to five people when my guy Mike (the Gambler's Anonymous dude) has only $200 left and says he's gonna call it a night. I told him if he leaves he'll kill the game so he stays.

The table spends the next 45 minutes stealing each other's blinds for about 45 minutes when a Jamaican dude shows up and starts raising every single hand. We've been so dead that everyone is folding to him and he says "You don't want to gamble with me? Okay then fuck you! I'm all-in blind!"

That's what I'm talking about!

So he goes all-in blind and wins his first hand with some bullshit against A-10 that called him. The next hand he goes all-in blind again and loses his stack to the same guy that just lost to him.

I pick up QJ and I call his all-in on the next hand for $300 and he flops a straight with 5-7 and I'm drawing dead. Chips!

I can't be mad at him though so I give him the fist/pound and tell him "You know I'll gamble with you man," and he likes the fact that I called him with QJ...and that he won.

So the very next hand (rebought for $300) I pick up K-10 of diamonds and I'm ready for a repeat performance. Only everyone limps in and then he switches modes and calls the $5. Dammit. Flop comes 10 high and he bets $30 from the blind. I raise to $60 and he calls. Turn is a 10 and he checks, I bet another $60 and he calls. River is a 9, putting a straight on the board and he goes all-in. Fuck! I call and he shows 10-5 and my kicker is good so I'm back in action.

This is too long, I'll do part 2 in a minute.
