My problem with this thread was where to put it?!
NVG? Maybe, because it
is news - but not really NVG type news. Gossip too, I suppose, because I thinks we've started some.
BBV? Maybe - because it's a sick brag. But every time I try entering BBV I end up running in terror, so I don't think so.
The Harrah's AC thread? Maybe - 'cause it started there. But then almost nobody would get to read this. Same thing for the AC Regional thread.
So, here it is - pending being moved by our resident "tyrant".
(Seriously, Rapini, if you think that this belongs elsewhere - feel free to relocate.)
It started back on May 9th. A Monday night, at Harrah's in A.C. The 2/5 table, to be precise - table 33. I'm in the 9 seat, she's in the 5 seat.
I join the game, and an attractive brunette is noticeable. Not so much because of her undeniable good looks, as her obvious intelligence and fun-loving banter with the dealer. There something about a smart-ass lady that I find very attractive. Also, for me, intelligence is a huge turn-on.
I was definitely interested, and was trying to figure out how to get her attention. (Turned out that she had already noticed me, but wasn't giving off any clues.)
After a little while, I'm opening a hand with a raise. The button called, as did lady 5 seat, who was the big blind.
There was a flop - she bets, I raise, the button folds, she calls.
There was a turn - she checks, I go all in ('cause she's short stacked) and she calls.
River is a brick, and my aces hold up.
I thought that she'ld rebuy, but no - she leaves the table. I jump up to say hi and try and ask her out (ok, maybe not the best timing.....)
For some odd reason, she declines - and I'm greeted back at the table with a lot of laughter and "why didn't you fold AA if you were going to ask her out?",
"Don't stack off a gal and then ask her out.", "You can't play poker and try to get a date at the same time.", etc.
Next day, I'm heading to the Diamond Club for lunch - and she's in line to get in. I grab a table near the front where I know she'll have to come by, and when she does I ask her to join me.
She suggests we go to a table farther in the back of the room - Ok by me!
1/2 hour later - we'd exchanged phone numbers and email addresses.
5 months later - we're very much in love and spending all the time we can together. Thus, my lack of frequency on 2+2, among other things.
Where is this going? We don't know, yet - but we're having a great time together and definitely have become a source of amusement at every table we play at.
Love and happiness can be found at the poker table - we're proof.
