One time after a sick blackjack session me and 5 friends walked into a bar we had never been to. I went up to the cute bartender, slapped down 200 dollars, and asked for 100 dollars worth of shots of Jack Daniels. That was a sick night.

I turned around to see who was talking and that is when I realized it was Phil Ivey. I proceeded to tell him that I have a good luck charm and he should go back and try to win with my lucky charm (A foreign Coin). At first he was like who is this guy then I told him a short story about it. I then gave it to him and told him since I was playing at the tourney, I would find him and get it back later.

Well, three hours later I'm at a table with David Williams and Paul Darden when Phil Ivey walks up and hands me the lucky charm along with a 1k chip and says "it worked". Pretty sweet.

I then proceeded to river flush out Paul Darden and then two hands later I coincidentally get knocked out by David Williams on a river flush.

I don't like David Williams.

Unless this is somehow widely known to be untrue...this is by far the most baller thing in this thread. Why isn't it getting any love?

I almost believed it but the part of "I never told anyone" is just such bs.

This guy is obv lying after that.

If i were giving odds on the Phil Ivey story,

I'd probably say 10% chance it is true,
40% chance it is true-ish (i.e. he met Phil Ivey, heard the conversation, said hi, and that's about it)
50% chance it is bs.

But its been my experience that the big ballers like Phil Ivey and company don't have to wait in line for Jack S*** so I don't think the story is true.

Didn't wanna do the dishes, so I left them in my elevator in my apartment. They were gone in less than 2 hours.

There was an annoying drunk A**hat on the table and he was all like, "that's a stupid bet, dealer hasn't hit 0 all day."

BOOM nailed the zero.

Cashed out $3500 and used the money to buy a GQ leather jacket and laptop (back when laptops cost an arm and a leg).

That story was good until you said you bought a leather jacket...

Won about 3000 dollar in 2 month live at 2/4, invited my gf to a 3 week Bali trip (5* Resort), had baller dinner every night (steak, lobster, wines, beers, shots) went surfing, swimming with dolphins, made 2 day trips, went to clubs bought big bottles and were just living the good life.

All paid with poker monies with no regrets at all. That was pretty sweet.
