Nice score! $500 that doesn't need to go in a safety deposit box. Aren't you in Kentucky? Go blow it on bourbon!

Right across the river (sunny side) from Louisville Kentucky. Bourbon does sound pretty good @DaNit. Thanks man.


-----------------------

We finally got to even, and barely creeped into the black.
+$153 in the black for month of July.

+201 today.

Lost a big one when I flopped a set of 3s and raise it all in for stacks vs KK.
KK called the 8 hi flop, and brick turn, K river.

BMOC rivered the nuts and slaps downs his cowboys. He asked if I flopped and set, and wants to see my hand. I slide my hand face down towards dealer. Dealer accidentally slides it into the muck. BMOC continues to gripe towards dealer that he wanted to see my hand. Dealer admits she makes a mistake. I stay quiet and just listen to this guy.
Although within the rules, I think it's a bit weak that BMOC wants to see how bad he beat me.
That point, I'm stuck a couple hundo, and BMOC up a few hundo. The nights ends w me being up and BMOC losing it all.
1-0 gd guys.

What's BMOC?

Butterfly's Main Opportunity for Cash

Big man on campus

I guess if I have to ask, then prob is. Whatcha talkin bout Rayz?
Lme, promo Thursday is
$100 Splash 1/2 tables every hour,
Aces cracked 3/6l $100,
Aces cracked 10/20l $500.

Basically, 10/20l was full of regs today all working together when player has Aces. Players wd try to look at their cards before action pre and say a code word if they had Aces. If they mention "cheeseburger" then everyone wd call $10 pre and check it down hoping to crack Aces ($500).

A couple buddies that were playing in the game proudly told me about. I mentioned I didn't like it. One guy says, "u don't like taking from the casino?". I told him that he is taking from the players pockets not the house.

Dealers of course didn't care because they had tip incentive.

I just hate the fact that I contribute a lot of dollars to the promo fund, and I don't want to see it blasted off on colluding. If promo dollars r gonna get punted away on collusion, then that hurts me and my opportunities.

I feel this is a bit of messing w my money on a very small scale.
So like I said...petty or legit?

How does hitting the cracked more often hurt you? Is there a limit on the number of times it can hit? The casino will now end the promotion because it is being paid more the expected.

Isn't like an overlay when there isn't enough players to meet the guarantee?

blame the casino. $500 for aces cracked in a limit game is crazy. youre basically just asking for the players to collude.

the jackpot at my local casino is up to $140k. there hasnt been a 3-bet in any of the limit games in over 6 months.

Answer First question:
Hurts me because if colluding happens and $500 pays out more than it shd, then that's less money in promo fund. Thus, less money to distribute to promos where I hv he opportunity to win. Like is said, I'm selfish and feel it's stealing from me.

Second Question: no

Third statement: I hope they do. Must uphold the ethics and integrity of the game. I hv zero respect for this collision happening amongst the regs.

It's not fair indeed. Casino should revise this promo then

A fair number of the "Higher Stakes" regs at HSI are kinda skummy, so this doesnt surprise me at all.

I played in the game last week and I didn't notice anything like this happening.

It's petty if you're only a rules nit when it doesn't benefit you. Otherwise, it's legit to be annoyed but it's hard to police that type of thing.

I wdnt participate in any game where everyone calls and then checks it down to the ocean.

Once you have AA beat play the hand. If you don't have AA beat you saved some money.

When's the vlog coming Rayz?

I wish to be disciplined like you one day

Gotta watch BB first. Who u all like?
My read is on Cowboy.

This thread before I knew you liked BB was 10/10. It's now at 11/10!!

I like Matt's chances.

Thanks for the vlog, completely agree with no hand histories - boring!

Raven is going to be a sleeper #BB19

So me: Cowboy
XJippyx goes w a solid choice in Matt.
DNAssume says dont sleep on Raven. Another gd read.

Anyone else want in? Thursday deadline.
We have to think of a loser bet. Any ideas? Winner of course 100,000 points.

When it's good it's great, and when it's not it sucks.

This month has been a total waste so far. Putting in hours, and nada.
Up around $300ish still on the month, and seems we are back pedaling. $300 a month barely pays for my electric bill. Lol.
How we gonna get ahead in life if we aren't making the cheddar?

I'm been playing a high various style of poker, which makes for big wins (last month) and big losses (this month). Mayb, I need to tone it back down, and pick better spots, make more discipline folds, and cut back on the bluffs. It's these same old things that get me in this position. Me trying to win every pot I'm in and outplaying everyone to do so, is putting me in this position of break even month. Take a step back, and let the game come to me. Quit pressing!

Anyways, Knox is 1 yr old today! Can u believe it's been a year already?!!
I remember those vlogs leading up to my son being born, and wanting so badly to win the "flip" of my life time. Man, was I stoked when Sara delivered and I looked down to see my baby had some junk. My legs weakened and I hit the hospital floor right then and there w watery eyes. All glory to God.

So blessed no matter if I'm break even this month. all my fam.
