In today's news, arrived at MGM and the 5/5 was running, so I hopped in. Quickly won an AA (!), 3! pre to $250, a couple callers, shipped 344dd (I had AA356, no diamonds, so AA+oesd), and won on A-X runout. Was feeling very shook up from the other losing session so I booked the win and went to 1/2 plo5...after 10 minutes I instantly regretted leaving. My runbad clouded my judgment and caused me to quit a really good game. I wasn't about to let tilt do that to me, so after I grabbed some food I got back in the game as soon as a seat opened up.
Sat down, put my leather cross body bag on my chair, and noticed the bravo wasn't accurate (there was a list), and told the dealer to take the names out of the system. A short Asian player in the hand told me to "stop holding up the game...fkn idiot." I had been getting bad vibes from him a lot lately (and he spread a rumor about me that I really wanted to get into this home game and was not allowed to play, neither of which was true), so I told him "do you have a problem with me? I'll tell you where you can shove it." He proceeded to call me a fggt a couple times, so I had the floor called over, who told him that I was allowed to ask a question, and then left it at that and waked away. Another player chimed in, "that was wrong, you called out a man by his name" and picked up, but now before telling the player, "you know what happens to bad people sometimes?" "Nothing," he sheepishly replied.
This very tall reg/pro who complains about how annoying I am to play against then started chatting up Mr. fggt, handing him some gum to boot. (What a swell guy; I thought you were better than that but I guess I was wrong.) I was a little surprised with how the floor handled it and I picked up shortly thereafter, completely disgusted with the whole situation. I asked for a 1/2 seat and a different floor person asked me what happened (he'd gotten to the table just at the tail end) and I recounted everything. A minute or two later I happened to look over at the 5/5 game and Mr. fggt was nowhere to be seen.
I had told a friend everything and she was quite surprised mgm did not do anything at first, but I told her in the end it looked like things worked out and staff did the right thing. No one should have their dignity assailed and everyone should feel welcome to a game, no matter their playing style, or anything else.
This experience only drives me to become better, so I am re-upping my subscription to a training site for a month to brush up on some stuff!
