Time for a story:
Once upon a time (no longer) Talking Stick had 3 15-30 Stud Hi games/day. I'll mention it was a chained MM. I get seated and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! the unknown on my left had 12+racks in front of him. I soon found out why: all he did was bet and raise. No matter what he had it was bet/raise and, ofc, the action was insane but he'd apparently been running hotter than the sun. He was also dead drunk.
Then he started to lose and when he got down to 3 racks or so he pulled a paper out of his pocket which I could read bec I was right next to him. The top said 'Tucson Gambler's Anonymous' and he started to call some of the phone numbers on it. He flipped the paper over and it was titled 'Tucson Alcoholics Anonymous' and he made calls to those numbers also.
Then he started to win again and his phone started to ring but he wouldn't answer. I mentioned his ringing phone and he said 'I don't want to talk to those people.'
The waitress came by and he tried to order another drink but she couldn't understand his slurred speech so I told her what he wanted since I'd heard it a few times already. She came back w/ a manager and what often happened was a drunk would get sent home. I went to the manager and said that they couldn't let him get in a car so they just cut him off.
He still had chips when I left hours later and I never saw him again.
