GM's thread about nothing (17 Viewers)

I, General Malaise, have never in my life played poker at a casino. It scares and intimidates me. BUT...I'm willing to give it a go as I have supreme time to kill and access to casinos in all major directions. Tips, pointers, advise? How much do I need to bring? Do I need glasses with the eyes painted on them? Will my visor be a boon or a bane? Should I employ Tanner schtick? How about I offer to drive other poker players' cars while three sheets to the wind? Where does taking a bathroom break mid-hand rank in etiquette?

Oh, DFW beer selection sucks more clock than a pron star with a thirst. Premium beer = Sam Adams. :vomit:
I hate playing poker in the casino. Too many people taking themselves too seriously. Too many wannabe "pros". It's not like your home game where you can bust-balls and joke around.

It also moves too slow.

It definitely moves slow - but if you've got a gambling problem, and I'm not saying GBGM has a gambling problem (he does), it's a slower way to lose your money.

My quick 'tips' would be:

1-Buy in with as much as you can. If there is a table buy in of 500, bring 500. No one says you have to lose it all, but it serves multiple purposes.

2-You really need to be able to relatively quickly assess who knows what they are doing and who doesn't have a clue.

3-Most of the worst poker players in the world play at lower limit poker tables in a casino. That being said, there are always 1-2 good players, but if you can figure out who they are, then feel free to pummel the lesser players buy aggressively playing strong hands.

It's been awhile since I've played poker in a casino because it's too slow, but it's definitely a fun waste of a few hours if drinking

Seems like as good of a time as any to admit I've never seen a single episode of Wires, or The Breaking Bad, or Mad Man. But I do watch Walking Dead. :bag:
Me either.

Also i think I'm the only person to never see a full Star Trek episode, or a Star Wars movie.

:shrug:
I think this is something that's expected of you. Not from Stu though...
Not sure how to take this.... :unsure:

I was all into sports and alcohol among other things back then, and the other shows I just never made time to watch.

:shrug:

Woah, good to know!!
Sorry for the late notice yesterday.
It's all good... you and Drifter still interested in poker next Friday night?

It's up in Oregonia, so a good deal up north, but always a fun time.
I still might be... seriously. Going to finalize my travel in the next couple of days for Indy the following week. Will be looking to see if my Kentucky trip would work next Thursday/Friday.
Alright, it's a pretty laid back game, but a lot of fun. It's no big deal if i add another person at the last minute. I can give you a ride as well if you'd like.

Shuke and Guster - You guys want to go to Keeneland next Friday? Can probably have you tag along for a thing I've got going (PM for details - I'd rather not post them with bing watching).
11-6 Friday lunch and booze gratis, horse betting on your own dime. Anyone up for a day at the track followed by a road trip to Guster's poker game?

Let me check to see about having my ex watch my daughter that night, but it sounds like an awesome night.

Poker game starts at "8:30" which means someone always shows up late and it ends up being more like 9p by the time it starts

 
Robbie Cooper just showed up on my Twitter feed on the same side of an issue as my company. I may have to look for a new line of work.

Opening sentence of an interview I'm reading -

"Shalonda ##### is 29 years old with a 2 year old son named Charly Killer."

That's right: Charly Killer.
He hates the Viet Cong

This sounds like its worth flying in for.

Oh god.
The best part of his tweet was when he talked about constantly being trolled by libtards. Its pretty amazing that he runs into persecution from others in every medium.
The libtards will seek out perfectly rational, intelligent people and then troll them constantly.

i think its like 10 or so. wasnt even reading posts in here. i just like everything!
I'm pretty sure the number of likes you get is variable based on an algorithm created by one of the faceless mods.
The algorithm also factors in your warning level. The lower your level, the more likes you have to give. Receiving likes also helps lower your warning level.

 
To the OP --- just because you live in a safe, sanitized, and boring little world where most of your men friends probably wear guy liner doesn't mean that there isn't another world inhabited by rough men that you just wouldn't understand or fit into.You have an open invite to join me at the next gathering with my brothers in my MC, 100% of whom are tatted, many with full sleeves. I'll buy you a beer and a shot for each one of them you tell how "stupid" they look. You have to buy me a beer and a shot for each one that knocks out one of your teeth.You're too much of a debutant to get a sleeve, and you feel uncomfortable around people who don't run in the same little metro circles that you do. Fine. I get it. Why the hatred of people who choose to live a different (and probably better) life than you though?(Full disclosure: No sleeve. Yet. Just a single arm band with my MC's name in it on one arm, and the other shoulder inked with the unit I served with in Iraq. You wouldn't understand that group of men either.)

Wife told me she was making burgers for dinner tonight. I came home and took a bite and wondered why they tasted weird and thought they must have been seasoned weird. Took a second bite and realized they were some sort of meatless burger. Between this and the $275 income I'm wondering what exactly are legit grounds for divorce.

You have appeased evil long enough, and now you are reaping the whirlwind.

Yeah probably. At least she said they sucked too.

That just means they're "healthy". You're screwed.

Where the hell is Oregonia?
Lebanon-ish
Currently slated to be out of town but will probably cancel my trip. However, my son's school has some family carnival that night. What time is poker?

Shuke> I will be in Cincinnatah on Monday, May 6 if you would like to catch the game against the Braves. Perhaps then we can finally clear the last hurdle to becoming Facebook friends.
Your boyfriend Guster going?

Man, I'd love to. Haven't been in almost 10 years. But the only reason I'm canceling my travel next week is because I can't afford another day out of the office right now.

For a single visit, I'd take $200 and play 1-2 no limit.

Interesting. I'd bring at least 50BB for a 1-2 limit game at a minimum. I think heaven is a casino poker table, so I hope you enjoy it.
1-2 limit in a casino? Boring as ####.

My wife makes her veggie burgers and my lean beef burgers for the same dinner.

Sounds like you have problems. Might I suggest one of those electric shock collars they use to train....wives?

(ok but seriously that sucks. sorry)

Pedo update

I did a Mandatory Settlement Conference today against this attorney:

http://www.ocregister.com/articles/tye-283029-attorney-old.html

Weird little turd - won't look you in the eye and has no problems lying to the settlement judge about the facts. Not a dumb guy, and appeared organized, I'm sensing not a small amount of social awkwardness, but it's tough to tell whether that's just the way he is (and why he likes to screw kids, to avoid all the annoying chit-chat) or because he wonders who knows about his escapades when he meets new people (like me).
