Sunday at Cash...
I played the NL Tourney at Cash on Sunday with Curt, it was a better day for me than for Curt. For me, first hand pocket kings, for Curt, first through-35th hand, folded. I ended up placing 25th out of about a hundred not too bad but I got man handled by the chip leader at the second table I was at, the guy hit every flop he saw and acted like it was all because of his fantastic skill and eastern european charm. I ended up going all in with jacks only to be called by a guy with 9-4 suited, he hit two pair on the flop and I was outta there.
The pit boss on sunday vaulted himself onto my 'top 5 most annoying people I would like to punch in the grill' list. He was about my age but acted like he was single handedly running the WSOP and the Bellagio High Rollers room at the same time. Directing a poker tournament is a thankless task, when things go right no one says anything but when anything goes wrong everyone is up in arms. But this guy was a walking, talking asshole. Moving players around is part of the TD's job, but you have to remember that these are paying customers and a little tact is in order. When he got me to move, he said 'get your chips', I didn't hear him because I was concentrating on the hand that was being played, so he comes closer and says more loudly "Get Your Chips" I thought I was being ejected at this point. I said why and he said "BECAUSE YOU'RE BEING MOVED TO A DIFFERENT TABLE" it was said in the tone you use when speaking to toddlers who speak a different language. So I get moved to my new table and proceed to be trounced by eastern european flop hitter. I think the TD/Pit boss heard me call him an asshole cause he kept hovering around me. For being a pasty casino worker this guy sure acted like he could raise some shit, I would have given half my stack to go outside and throw the guy under curt's limo, but I abhor violence... When I finally did get busted he was standing behind me and I kind of kicked my chair back so that it hit him in the knee. I hope he's in pain right now.
