Casino stories

[Guest pocketrockets]

I was in Panama with a bunch of fellow CostaRicans playing a $1500 buy in tourney, it was like 100k GTD if Im not mistaken.

The trip and entry costed me literally $20 which was the entry for the 1st satellite of the 3 I won in a row. So on the 1st night before the start of the tournament we attend the opening dinner/party/concert and my girl from back then and I start drinking and snorting and what not. I managed to cross an 8ball through the border with CR by land...

So I go upstairs, get busy with the chick and she falls sleep after a while, so I come to the casino to find a couple of buddies (guy who taught how to play + a very famous CR player) and they are playing $2-$5 NL... I sit in with $1000. My buddies are deep and shitfaced as well, we decide that if we get dealt 5-9 any suit will play it like Aces, just fuckin around between us 3...

My mentor raises UTG with 5-9 for $15 off and gets reraised to $50 by a guy on MP, 2 more people call, my buddy calls. I had some shit like KJ-KQ off which I instafold. Flop comes 9 J 2 and my buddy open raises $150... preflop raiser raises all in and the 2 other folks fold... my buddy snap calls (clearly drunk as fuck) and the other guy flips AA... turn is a 5... river 9... fuckin crazy $2k+ pot 4 hands after I sit in.

10 or so hands later I get dealt 9-5 spades in the BB... one guy open raised for $20 and me and the SB both call... flop comes K 10 4 - 2 spades... sb checks, I raise $40 and the raiser calls, sb folds... turn is 7 hearts... I raise $120, guy calls... I sense he has maybe A 10 or JJ... maybe AQ... river comes a J of spades so I pretty much conclude he doesnt have JJ... I check as I feel I wont get a call if he has A 10 but in the rare case he has AQ he will push all in... or at least raise to be pot commited. He does, he raises to $350 and I go all in. He calls... guy literally punches his chips in disgust, chips all over the place... my buddies just laugh like assholes. Guy tells them to fuck off, to shut up... they laugh harder... guy punches my buddy in the eye and gets thrown out... in the end we all laughed.

I met an SNL hooker in the hallway by Nobu at Caesar's.

[IAG]

Set down at a roulette table at Caesars. It was just me (and my friend watching) and another guy who was playing (and his buddy) who was standing there. I am nuts in roulette,,play towers and half the board... guy was having fun watching me. I was doing well – he wasn't. He said he was going to follow me on my bets... He put some decent money on my numbers, I don't remember how much, but I remember thinking shit I didn't want him to lose. He looked young 30- Nice looking. baseball cap.... I think I even said something to the effect of "don't put that much. "... I remember him looking at his buddy like he thought it was cute /funny that I was concerned about his money. In hindsight it really even wasn't that much, but I just felt like the guy was taking chances outside his normal comfort level.

 

We continue to play and all of the sudden this guy is calling out some man standing behind me. Accuses him of stealing $100 chip off the table from me. I have no clue. It got really bizarre and while this guy was playing white knight, i was embarrassed because I didn't really know if the man had taken money from me or not. He starts daring guy to empty out his pockets, which other guy would not do. Eventually accused just left and I said don't worry about it. I was worried white knight was going to kick his ass,,, prior to this, white knight had been very calm, inconspicuous, chill. And very cute.

 

Anyway, eventually he leaves table, wishes me good luck. and dealer asks me if I knew who that was. I say no...I had a weird felling he was vaguely familiar, but didn't know how I would have known him...turns out it was Tom Welling from Smallville and Cheaper by the Dozen movies. So of course I feel stupid for worrying that I'm going to lose this guy's 300 (Or whatever it was ). Guy probably has 20 million. Plus finding out the white knight was Superman from Smallville was ironic,

 

When I got home I looked him up, and found out it was his birthday weekend, so I guess he was celebrating in Vegas. Nice guy,

I was in Vegas at Pure with a big group in VIP.  The bill came to almost 5k which was about $400 per man.  My and my best bud told the guy collecting the money we were going to the ATM for our share.  On the way we decided to play some quick blackjack with the cash we had on us thinking maybe we wouldn't even have to go to the ATM.  Keep in mind it was like 4 in the morning and we were lit up.  We sat down at a table with the first 2 seats empty and all other seats full. I think it was a $25 table.  Everyone was staring at the 2 new drunk guys at the table.  We pulled out every dollar/chip we had and pushed it to the circle.  I had like $230 and my buddy had about $200.  It took us a few minutes and people were getting impatient. The dealer dealt out the hands dealing me (first base) a soft 17, my buddy a hard 20 and everyone else got garbage hands 14-16.  The dealer's up card was a 4.  So of course I wanted to double my A6.  Having no money at the table I asked the dealer and the table if I could run to the ATM real quick.  Amazingly the dealer said ok despite the grumbles at the table.  

 

So off I went in search of an ATM.  The problem was I was so drunk I couldn't see or walk straight.  After easily 10 minutes I finally found an ATM after circling the whole casino a few times.  Then it took another 5-7 minutes or so to find my table.  The whole time I was thinking that there was no way they were still waiting for me.  I was wondering if the dealer would have just moved on and made me stay with my 17.  So I fully expected to either see my chips gone or doubled when i came back.  But no, the entire table was bitching at the pit boss wanting to just finish the hand.  My buddy had a drunk smirk on his face trying to fend off the angry mob.  I sat down without apologizing and doubled down my bet drawing a 3 for 20.  The other players were pissed that I made them wait, but even more angry that I got a good card.  I just laughed it off.  By this time a full 20 minutes had passed since the hand was dealt.  The rest of the hand was quick as everyone else stayed pat.  The dealer flipped over a 10 and drew a five for a 19.  Now everyone was steaming even more.  The dealer paid me and my friend, and in an instant we jumped up off the table, I flipped the dealer a green chip and we left.  This made everyone even more pissed as they were cursing us on the way out. we just continued on while laughing with an ear to ear grin.

 

By the time we got back to Pure, everyone had left except for another buddy who was semi conscious puking into a trash can.  We carried him out of there and settled up with the other guys the next day.

No weaves from me...maybe share one or two more,,,going for massage to hopefully get this headache nixed.

I had been playing BJ for quite a while at the fremont, a guy sits next to me and buys in for $100, I said to him "do you ever feel like pushing it all in on the first hand", he looks at me and I say "I have about $150, I will if you will", he says ok, and we both bet everything, ends up i win and he busted, I look at him and say "sorry, i thought we'd either both win or both lose". he was ok with it, but i felt bad.

I once took a 45 minute nap in the now-defunct Corbin Room at Silverton. It was refreshing.

Marty , damn shame what happened to the room.

How did u find out about the super man ?

 

Did the casino dealer knew him and just

 

Asked you if you knew him

About 10 years ago I was in (playa) Santa Lucia CUBA. Met up with my 19yr old Cuban girlfriend from my last trip there and brought her some goodies from Canada.

Most importantly I brought her some sexy black stockings, she was grateful for the gift but didn't seem to understand I wanted her to wear them later when it was time for sex.

 

So she comes out of the shower and I tell her to put on the stockings and we proceed to fucking. When its time to come the plan is to pull out and come on her asss, porno style.

 

Well my aim was a little off and I came all over her brand new stockings. Without missing a beat she got up and headed for the bathroom where she scrubbed those fuckers clean and removed all plommers dna.

 

Cuban broads are practical.

 

Oh yeah, this is a casino story thread. Right. When I got back to Toronto I ended up at Casino Niagara where I lost a couple hundo playing Pai-Gow.

My first trip to Vegas was back in 1968 or 1969.  Back then, the Sahara seemed to have the biggest card room ( from my limited search ), and the first night of playing there sat in a small $1 to $3 limit 7-stud game that also had Jimmy the Greek and Rosie Greer sitting in.

But the interesting hand was the following night.  No famous people sitting in, but two guys were raising and re-raising back and forth their $3 max bet ( unlimited raising with only two players left ) until one of them finally ran out of chips.  When the cards were turned over, they both had Royal Flushes.  The odds of two Royals in the same hand have got to be astronomical.

 

The next night, a plaque appeared on the poker room wall with a picture of the two players, the hands, and the pot.  It was kinda fun for me to point to that plaque on later visits with friends to show my close call with the impossible.  It was there for several years, but got lost during one of their remodels.

 

Maybe that had something to do with why 7-stud died!

Good thread gaining steam

Came to Caesars for a Tim McGraw concert...,,somehow got heads up he was playing blackjack in Forum casino. My friend and I went over and sure enough sitting there with his dad Tug, Faith, Ricky Schroeder and his wife(?). Anyway, didn't want to stand there and gawk so sat down to play blackjack. I know how to play, but it bores me to tears for the most part...I think they had raised the table minimum and maybe had area roped off it seems like so was probably playing more than I usually would. Anyhow...it was just me and dealer at table. All I know is I could not lose...every split, double, everything was coming my way...I was not even paying attention to money because I was winning and really just staring at their table and talking to dealer and on. At one point I looked down at chips and was like "holy shit" and my friend was like "I know!" I ran up to $5,000...more to the story about briefly meeting TM and getting autograph, but the casino part of the story is I took my $5000 which is probably 10x more than ever won playing blackjack, and went to roulette wheel. I never play black/red but was probably 3 am and drunk and tired...was feeling like I couldn't lose...walked up and put $1000 on black. It was red.

 

Looked at my friend and said was "that was stupid...let's go to the room...don't tell anyone at work." Now that's a running joke..."Don't tell anyone at work".

 

I think I didn't want my lesser compensated friends to think I was just that casual with what probably took them more than a week to earn. That's probably the bet I regret the most in lifetime gambling for some reason. But I was up 4K on night and we still laugh about it, so there's that. Probably biggest lucky run I have had in anything...most definitely in blackjack.

[IAG]

Once had dealer at IP mark one of my numbers incorrectly. Had already cleared the table of all the outside bets...had to sit there for what seemed like an hour ( it was at least half hour) while they reviewed tape, as it was a full table and everyone claiming they had this bet and that bet. Everyone but me was pissed...very uncomfortable.

 

Felt very bad for the dealer....she cost the casino a lot of money making time on a very -ev game. I usually play four or five numbers bigger every spin.... they are the same each time and all in the same area of the board. She had not been hitting for me at all, and finally got one of the big ones. She got all excited and marked wrong one.

I'm sure that happens more than I know, and I've had it happen, but not corrected before all chips cleared. When you have a full table with almost everything covered, it could be (and was) a real mess.
