Most Expensive Chicken Caesar Salad I Ever Bought
Tonight I decided to dive into the live scene to kick it off for the year. At around roughly 6pm I decided to hit the road and drive to Playground Poker for the first time. What should have been a 20-25 minute drive ended up taking closer to 45-50 minutes. This is in part due to me missing my exit and then having to navigate through Montreal's horrible highway construction conditions and detours. Eventually, I was over the Mercier Bridge and swiftly entering into Kahnawake which is a native reservation. Honestly, I was not thrilled to be entering a native reserve, but that is where Playground Poker is located.
By the time I had registered for my player's card and my name was called to sit in a 1/2 game, it was 7:15 pm. The room itself is pretty big and it seems to have two sections, one for MTTs and one for cash games. All the food and drink is free with the exception of gratuity for the bombshell waitresses. Some of these girls were straight up dimes, no joke. I get to my table and a chip runner is called and I exchange my cash for these little monetary tokens. So without thinking, I just throw 200$ into the middle expecting the dealer to give me chips. He starts laughing and quickly gives them back telling me to wait because I had essentially just gone all in preflop without looking at my cards from UTG...woops
Fast forward an orbit or two and I over limp KJo (pretty weak of me, I know) from the B and then the BB pops it to 15 and next thing I know were going to the flop four ways. The flop comes out KK6r.
The young 16 year old looking aggressor cbets 30 into 65ish. The old timer at the table porting a hearing aid and virtually drooling flat calls. I elect to flat call as well. The turn is an irrelevant 3x and the kid checks and then the old timer basically launches his remaining 75 into the pot like...
I flat call and the young kid folds. The river brings a 10 and I show my hand and the old timer whips down KQs for the better kicker. Okay. Not a big deal just reload and keep playing.
Anyways, I reload back to table maximum at 1/2 which is 200. Not much happens, until an orbit or so later when the old timer opens for 12 UTG and I find myself on the button with KK and pop it to 30. After the dealer explains to him that I have 3bet him, he gets this monkey face and goes ham and just ships for ~175 or whatever he has.
I honestly just snap called him off because folding seemed preposterous to me so then the dealer goes to deal and I reveal my hand and old man jumps up somehow and slams his AA proudly on the table. Board runs out fine for him and he holds and starts racking up my chips like...
So at this point I'm like ****ing A, I should at least get some food here before I go busto. I cannot even be ****ed to see the menu at this point and just tell the waitress that I'd like a Chicken and Caesar Salad and a water. Now, at this point I am already reloading for what is essentially my last money that I brought with me and it has barely been an hour. I proceed to watch the old timer donk off my former chips for about an hour and a half.
A bit more time passes and I am slowly rebuilding my stack when I am dealt QQ and make it 8 from UTG. Sizing was too small and I probably should have made it 12-15. Anyways, this newcomer who was speaking idunno what language to his friend across the table makes it 20 from MP. Him and his buddy had been told to stop speaking their foreign language and it was honestly very clear that they were soft playing each other. The table watched them check to showdown when one had top pair and the other had a boat while they both giggled like little school girls. So now his buddy flats the 20 from the BB and they both have 100-120ish stacks so now I just think I'm ahead and shove on them. The 3better tanks and eventually calls and then the BB looks dazed and confused and decides to call as well. The board ran out like 10108r8x5x or something and I say no 10? They both shake their head and I show QQ, the original 3better mucks and I'm like nice, then the BB shows KK and I'm like...
At this point I'm left with 100 and my ****ing chicken caesar salad comes and I legit contemplated just giving the waitress my full stack and eating my meal then leaving. I was like I might as well give it to her before I punt this off, but I just gave her a redbird instead. I eventually run my little stack back up to 200 before getting fleeced on A83ddKx9x when I had A3o vs A8o in a 5 way limped pot. At this point I think I had 75 left and was just like okay this is my last orbit.
My very last hand I have my coat on and I'm ready to gtfo but wait...I get AxQs, gotta play it so pop it up to 10 fro UTG. Long story short, turn the nuts three ways on KJ410ddss and basically get it in vs Q6dd and river As comes and we chop. I picked up my 78$ and was like...
Result: 4 hours 15 minutes | -522$
Realistically, it is only 2-3 buyins and I'm not actually tilted, was just victim of a cold deck tonight. This is just my way of laughing it off and going back sometime in the future to seek my revenge.
Chicken Caesar Salad was good though, B+. Hell of a price though, 522$.
