Why not just give it to him though? Isn't kidnapping him for a Tab just a bit excessive?

I have a feeling you don't know what a 'tab' is

True story.
I saw OP in the casino the other day when I was playing $104/208 PL RAZZ

you should play $1-$2 limit here at Hawaaiian Gardens, its so fun, nobody takes it seriously, u play with same people, its like the BReakfast club, they come and eat breakfat while playing limit poker and we all know one another.

There's actually 2 millionaires I know playing 1-2 limit, one is a Doctor and the other one an old lady who owns several rental building in the area.

btw, its a full kill, it becomes 2-4 when soembody wins the pot twice, that maybe is too high for u, lol.

I was playing $9/$18 LHE at the Commerce casino and there is this big fish on my right that's just giving away his money, so we are all just taking turns taking his money and we want to get more. Then suddenly he farted , and at the spur of the moment I've decided to own it and said "Ooops Sorry guys, i ate too much" even though everybody knows the big fish is the one who farted. Sure enough the fish stayed and dumped another $500 before he realized limit holdem is not for him, after he left one guy gave me a high five.

As I was driving home I felt this disgust about myself and thinking, "Wow I cant believe I just did that", but then I looked at my wallet and saw an extra $430, i just shrugged it off and vowed to do it again.

Anyway, please feel free to share your experience if you have done things to keep the fish in the game.

Good story lol

Lol@ "'dumped' another $500" as well, great choice of words.

the more funny part is that 500$ loss at 10 20 isnt a big deal.

Everyone was a fish at some point. The thing to remember is just because someone sucks at poker, or just cares to gamble it up, doesn't mean he's an idiot. Most fish know what you're trying to do when you're sucking their dicks at the table.

The first time I took a shot at $75/$150, I got my clock cleaned nicely. It was 5 handed and every god damned player THANKED me for playing. They were not being sarcastic or funny either; they were trying to be polite and cordial but they came off ****ing pathetic. I mean, I thought someone was going to try and give me a hand job next. That was mid-high stakes poker back before the boom - wait for a live one, rape him and thank him.

The thing is, I could have walked away thinking I played well and ran bad, or simply scratching my head, but their comments solidified that I belonged back at my usual game nitting it up. Instead, I thought long and hard about every hand and worked my short game til they didn't like me anymore.

I once completed the religious journey known as the Hajj crawling a thousand miles on my belly to keep a fish playing the ¥2e^4/¥pi^6 game at the Crown.
