Late one night in a smaller san diego indian casino poker room, i'm playing on the only 2/3 table going when a semi-regular comes strolling in and sits down in the empty 5 seat, directly to my right.
This is a mid-50's guy of middle eastern or Mediterranean descent (to this day, i still don't know) wearing some "bling" and one of those tight "underarmor" type shirts to show off his physique (ROFL).
Anyway, he proceeds to donk off two buyins of 500 bucks each, mostly to me. This, of course, sends him tilting because of all the types of people in a poker room the ones who most hate losing to a girl are the mid-50's middle-eastern/mediterranean guys. I overhear him grumble to the guy next to him:
"Could you imagine being married to her? god, i couldn't stand to look at her in the morning." and more along similar lines.
Now, I'm no Liv Boeree, and i don't get all pretty to go to the poker room. I wear jeans and a hoodie because those places are damned cold, and i prefer comfort to trying to impress degens. I'm laughing internally at this guy because he truly picked the LAST girl on earth who could be bothered by such "insults".
He's getting angrier and angrier, and as he gives me his final 100 bucks, he shoots me a glare and storms off. As he's leaving the room, he yells back, presumably to the other guys on the table, "Have fun playing against that f**king slut!"
Now i'm not sure what my perceived sexual proclivities have to do with my poker playing, but he clearly couldn't handle being felted by a girl. I wish he hadn't have been on his way out of the room, because a number of witty and suggestive comebacks raced through my head.
I believe there was another 2p2er at the table, but i can't for the life of me recall who it was. We laughed about this for the rest of the night. The best part of it was, the other guys at the table were more offended and upset for me than I was. Hell, I thought it was the funniest thing I'd heard in a long time.
Unfortunately, i've never seen this guy again, which makes me sad. He was a nice donator to the Skydiver Bankroll Foundation.
