to sum the action so far...
lose out in a tourney and come across a douchebag who felt it necessary to berate my play
go play some cash games and start winning and drinking
I move tables to be with my friend and I get silly and a weird dealer error comes up
Some new players joined us at this point. OG2 came to the table and he was an older gentlemen that I recognized from the tourney. He was wearing what I call a cabbie/paperboy hat. The type of hat that you see in movies in the 20's where the paperboy is yelling, "Extra, Extra!! Read all about it!" or the cab drivers that say, "Where to mac?" also where them. I actually own one myself, so I complimented him on his hat and he then went on tell me that the Borgata gave it to him when he hit a royal flush. He kind of reminded me of
Studs Terkel and shortly after he came to our table I noticed he was napping.
BBG was also there and was donking it up and playing most hands. I chatted him up and he was a super nice guy. Unfortunately for me he would get lucky every time we got involved in a hand together and would take my chips and then donk them off in the next hand to another player. The dynamic of the table seemed fine and dandy at this point, we had OG2 napping, BBG was creating some action and I was Mr. Chatty Fun Guy. That was until DB2 got into a hand with BBG...
I was on the button and DB2 was in middle position and it was folded or limped around to him. He raised it to $12 and my buddy and I folded and so did the SB. BBG in BB called for $10 more and then the limpers folded. The flop came:
5
3
4
BBG checked, DB2 threw out a pot sized bet and BBG called
J
on the turn
BBG checked, DB2 threw out a pot sized bet and BBG called
river was a blank (maybe a ten?)
BBG had less than the pot left but still checked, DB2 raised enough to put him all in and BBG called right away.
DB2 tabled KK, BBG tabled 62o and scooped the pot.
DB2 went quiet at first and then a moment later mumbled, "You called with that?"
BBG- "Yes I did"
DB1-"You called my preflop raise with that?!- Nice play!" He said in a sarcastic tone.
Personally I really hate this. Yes it's obvious to most of us at the table that BBG is a donk. Yes, he called with a bad hand preflop with stacks that don't warrant a call there. Yes, he got lucky and took all of your chips.
BUT FOR PETE'S SAKE YOU
WANT HIM TO DO THAT!! SO STFU AND LET THE FISH PLAY THAT WAY AND STOP TAPPING THE GLASS YOU ASSMUNCH!!
DB2 continued to insult BBG for the next 3-4 hands and I couldn't take it any more. But instead of confronting DB2, I turned to BBG and said, "Forget him, he's just angry you got his chips. You can play however you want, don't let him tell him you otherwise." BBG said, "Damn right! It's my money that's backing up my bets and I can put my money in whenever I damn well please."
And BBG couldn't be anymore correct there. I wish douchebags with thin skin would cut out the crap. IMO, you can't be that all great of player if you're going to criticize someone's play.
The mood of the table really deflated after that outburst. Plus, having not eaten all day and starting to feel the pinch of drinking on an empty stomach my buddy and I racked our chips, cashed out and went downstairs to the Panda for some orange flavored chicken. Stretched our legs and went back up to play some more.
At this point I had made up the money I lost in the tourney and I was maybe up an additional $15 on top of that.
more later...
