I wish I didn't have to drive to KC for a good NL game.

Topeka sucks.

Yep.

Which is why I never went back. I don't like feeling forced to play. Sometimes at the casino I'll play for an hour and sometimes I'll play for 36. If I'm not feeling it, I refuse to go on tilt. I get up and leave.

after that huge pot I played super tight and just wanted time to pass so I could GTFO

the game was packed with solid players and I didn't think of it as a "winning" game...never went back

Winstar World Casino in Thackerville, OK...that's a winning game

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't be OK with "Mikey Tats" and "Lunchbox" standing behind locked in a room. Not my bag of chips and there's probably a reason I never put myself in that situation.

I'll chalk that up on my list of things 'not for me'.

I won $80 in the first home game I ever played. It was me and the host heads-up. I had a pretty good chip-lead on him and it was getting late, so he pushed all-in before the flop. I glanced up at him and hesitated on the call, then finally said, "oh, alright... call". He flipped over his cards, then I flipped over mine.

Him: K-rag
Me: Pocket Aces

LMAO

That poor bastard. But, with him being the host, I did give him a cut.

I know right? That's my first thought, a real crime organization isn't going to have their business broadcasted on TV. Get outta here...

They aren't going to beat your ass. They don't need some dude calling the cops.

I think the one I went to in Dallas had some 'hush hush' deal worked out with the local police.

the underground game in Champaign (never did it) got busted after the college kids cried to their mothers and the mothers called the police...

raided it one day...took every single dollar in the room...didn't matter if it was on the table or not. Lots of arrests, as well.

Then they definitely wouldn't kick your ass.

I agree...but it's still bad etiquette...you don't hit and run.

here is the raid I was talking about:

this is why I have an arrest in Champaign. The police LITERALLY have nothing better to do. They'll bust this game but we had a "polar bearing" epidemic break out for 45 straight days.

Polar Bear: A group of black men pick out a random white person on campus and beat the shit out of him. This happened 45 straight nights and they were never caught.

Yet I can get arrested for jaywalking and then throwing the ticket on the ground and telling them I'll never pay that in the history of the world and they can issue arrests to 13 people playing a damn card game.

haha holy shit i have never heard of polar bearing before but that term is hilarious

well don't leave a bar after 2:30 AM and walk down dark streets in Champaign, IL...or you'll get polar bear'd
