as we pull up to the driveway i take note of the 3 camera s and then one of the greatest songs every written SAILING is playing its soathing my nerves i stay in the suv and try and enjoy the moment the old guy host comes out barking and yelling pleasantries at Mat dressed in expensive golf garb the second vers plays out i close my eyes rub my temples i already hate this guy when he pokeshi face in he window typical old tough guy crooked nose a few scares dentures he pulld open the door and sticks his hand out the sound completly comprimsed i shke his hand hes partially deaf and yells his nephew opens the door or the 3 of us he throws his arm around my shoulder like we were high school buddies his breath stunk of booze that made me feel real good about things we walk in his half chines wife of 40 years younger greets us and leeds me to a ornate poker table ..i take a seat sitting across from a nervouse 45 year-old muscle/fat ex pro baseball player with a baldy nicked shaved head i read this as a trait of hardcore degen who cant earmark enough time to hygene.

as i sip my CC drink i start feeling better ,the kentucky business guy a small ugly tough looking guy and his lawyer a soft former spartan football offensivetackle take their seats along with Matt to my right and the old angry host to my left the LA porn producer who walks in like the mayor shakes everyones hand and sits to the right of Matt .The old man host deals out for the button i stand and deceide to take a piss as i walk to the washroom i hear the old partial deaf host guy ask Matt ...who the f@ck is this guy you brought here he looks like a effin euro weirdo giggalo the whole table laughs along i hit the washroom as i piss all i can think of is steamrolling these effers i look in the mirror and say ....................dont worry about the cranberries on the felt play small ball pot control my passive/ aggro style those of you that dont know i play small pots aggresive early to cement a fake cowboy style of a actionplayer hiding my nit /rock actual identy much like phil laak does.

Calm down wong.

When you woke up on the floor covered in vomit and jumped up to fix a double on your way to risking your life roll on one buyin, I didn't really have high expectations. That's all I'm saying.

You chose this life bigshooter.

IT'S NOT BIGSHOOTER IT'S BIGHITTER

Get outta this thread smallputter

Just remember Mr. Wong, even Ivey went busto from time to time and had to work ****ty jobs to rebuild. The good news is that poker skills carry over into the fast food industry very well. Get a little part time gig, take out a 5k loan against your condo and ride it out. You'll be swimming with some whales again in no time.
