Good story, but kind of silly that you type out "African-American" four times when "black" is perfectly acceptable. And on top of that you then proceed to get around the profanity filter by typing n!gger.

Germany, according to Mr. Naegger.

Fair enough. Just trying to be sensitive since I know 2+2 is so PC

Bahahaha! Epic story aisleorwindow! Don't mind the sour-pusses

It just tilts me when I hear people use "African-American." Kind of ironic that you posted "white guy" four times too. If you wanted to be really PC you should have written "Anglo-American."

Your real mistake was writing out n!gger. Evading the profanity filter is a big no-no. Moderator - Please delete this post (obv) but don't delete the story, it's a good one.

if the name has german roots then most likely the ae is a transcription of the letter Ä which would be pronounced like the "a" in nashville or in mAshed potatoes.
the oh-so-bad n-word in german is written with "e" and only one "g".
that guy doesn´t know how to pronounce his name
edit:a quick google search makes me think that his family name started as Nadegger and the d got lost at some point. there are a bunch of nadeggers in germany/austria.


cut him some slack, that guy obviously felt very guilty telling a story that includes the forbidden word that may never be mentioned and tried to make up with with african-americanization.

on a sidenote: is that word really that bad? in my opinion its so much about how you emphasize what you are saying. for example me saying "christian" or "politician" or "broccoli" would be way more insulting than "nnnn..."evermind. maybe these words should be added to the profanity filter as well

2am at Edgewater Casino in Vancouver a few years ago. 1-2NL with a Persian guy I've seen a few times. He's been warned by the floor a few times in the past for getting agitated or yelling or outright trying to start fights over hands. Pretty sure he's had a few 24hr bans.

New guy joins our table - white dude with red hair - and pretty much immediately begins needling the Persian guy. White guy has some sort of accent I can't tell from where, sounds English maybe. I'm already expecting a fight to start - Persian guy (PG) looks about ready to jump over the table when white dude (WD) asks:

WD: "Where you from?"
PG: "I'm Persian, I'm from Iran"
WD: "Oh really, me too ... I'm from Palestine!"

Persian guy loses it, starts yelling at him. White dude is laughing pretty hard now which just makes it worse. Persian guy is on his way around the table when white dude busts out his Lebanese passport and starts speaking Farsi. Persian guys's eyes get huge and he continues his trek around the table but gives white dude a hug instead of the right hook he was planning. Whole table cracks up.

Lol ^^^^so many awesome stories lately

I'd been playing about 1.5 hours, and a lady at my table who was playing when I sat down pulled a dog out of her purse and walked out of the room.

These are wonderful.

These are true gems. They lifted my spirits for this horrible work day.

That's one of the problems with profanity filters. You can't type certain words, even when you're directly quoting.

The word in question is the title of a book by black comedian and activist Dick Gregory. I read that book at part of a high school course. In fact, a quick search of amazon.com shows that "the N-word" is in the title of over 100 books.

And of course, unless you're going to ban Huckleberry Finn from libraries (or for that matter, ban many books about U.S. history) it's a word that you can't escape, and in fact, there is often a legitimate need to type it. (Unfortunately, that includes usage in popular entertainment.)

Deep 5/5 game average stack is about $1600 new guy gets to the table that is a known fish that likes to gamble buys in for the max which is only 500. After a few rotations and him loosing almost every pot magically ha has about 1200 in whites (100 doller chips) in front of him that no one has mentioned or noticed. Hand comes up where it more or less goes to the river uneventfully where the hero has the nuts in position, Fish starts his little fish dance telling me to fold and makes some massive over bet to an uneventful pot. As I see the white chips splash I immediately say ALL in when the Fish says OH I was just kidding those chips are not in play. I laugh call floor and get PAID

EDIT: It wasn't just a book. It was his autobiography.

I don't get this at all. When he makes his "massive over bet", did he push all of his chips across the line? If he did, then all you needed to say was "call." If he didn't then your "all in" bet doesn't require him to put the rest of his chips in.

Its funny because he was trying to secretly get more chips on the table, 'GOING NORTH" then when he realized he had the second nuts he was trying to say they were not in play AFTER I went all in.

He was trying to get the original overbet erased by saying the chips he snuck on the table weren't REALLY in play. Floor did the right thing and bitch slapped him and said he was SOL

[QUOTE=aisleorwindow;39184121]I tend to gravitate towards the talkative tables and some of the banter is hilarious. Both of these happened at Horseshoe in Hammond, IN.

Story 1:
I'm in 2 seat. 4 seat is an African-American guy who is just bleeding chips. He is totally silent for 2+ hours and just shaking his head as he continues to lose, angrily tossing his cards in the muck, etc.

Seat 5 is filled by a younger white guy and he starts chatting with the dealer asking where he's from. Dealer says "I'm from Pahrump, NV."
Seat 5 exclaims excitedly "oh really! I have relatives in Pahrump!"
They continue chatting while dealing the hand out. During this conversation, Seat 5 gets pocket Aces and wins a huge pot boat over boat.

After seat 5 starts stacking his chips, the guy in seat 4 (who hadn't said a word in 2+ hours) yells out "Muthaf**ka, I got relatives in PAAAAH-RUMP!! Give me some muthaf**kin' Aces!!!!"

Entire table busts out laughing - dealer is nearly in tears from laughing so hard.


best one yet..

If you have the nuts in position, wouldn't say ing "Call" instead of "All in" just open yourself up to the possibility of losing value? With "Call" you just get whatever he pushed over the line, but with "All in" you have much more potential, at least doubling whatever you have in front of you right?

I had a funny one this weekend in Florida. On the waitlist for 2/5 so I sit at a 2/2 max BI 200. Very first hand dealt JJ, raise to 10 with 4 callers, flop J69, bet 25 one caller, turn 7, bet 50, get reraised to 150, I push my stack in and he says "OK" and flips his trip 7s up. I show my hand and it holds. Then he says "Hey I never called his all in bet" which was only $15 more. Dealer just laughed at him and made him pay. She wouldn't even call the floor over. lol

Congrats!! You're now on an FBI watch list. LOL

Didn't someone try to do this recently?

No, a publisher released a Huck Finn version with "****** Jim" replaced with "Slave Jim."

Last night at around 1 am at my local room there are 2 tables running when I hear every one at the other table start yelling. I think **** will I ever be at the table when the BBJ hits, I turn around to see seat one puking on the dealer and just about everywhere else including empty table behind him.

Three way action to the flop. Short stack goes all in on the flop and both players call. Turn comes giving 4 to the straight. Old guy bets small amount to start the side pot. Third guy says fold and keeps his cards. Dealer instructs him to muck his cards so action may continue. He says "I know I'm ahead of the all in but the old guy has me beat." He does not muck. After a 15 second delay dealer asks again. He replies "it's okay, I'll just wait for the main pot". WTF looks all around. Dealer explains that if he folds he can't win anything. After two minutes off processing this information he finally folds saying he had no idea that was the rule here. Haha.

$1-2 NL at the Golden Nugget - this old guy comes in from the pit games with tons of casino chips and says he wants to play poker - the dealer tells him just to get $300 chips - common enough not that funny - plays for about half hour - it is really painful - questions every hand - then he gets pocket aces - turns them face up and puts a $5 chip on each of them - everyone is cracking up and the dealer tells him not to do that but the hand will play and it is $10 to go. Don't know why everyone else folded but I call in big blind with some crap like 8 4 off. Flop a pair - he throws out another $5 chip - blank turn - another $5 chip - river two pair - another $5 - I go all in for about $150 and he snap calls.

Gold, Jerry, Gold!

At commerce I once saw a guy playing with one 20 stack of chips and 1 big chip in front of him. Pre-flop he bet the 20 stack and action folds around to the big blind, who calls. Flop comes out KK9. Big blind checks, other guy throws in his 1 chip in front of him. Big blind(with a much bigger stack) asks "You're all in?" and the guy sort of nods and while the dealer is grabbing the all-in chip big blind immediately says "OK I call" and shoves a bunch of chips out in front of him. Then the other guy looks up and says "You're all in? OK I call" and reaches over for A COMPLETELY FULL RACK OF CHIPS from a drink table next to him and DUMPS IT into the middle of the pot while flipping over K9. Obviously he didn't get paid for it and I changed tables while it took forever for the dealer to fix the pot and the floor to deal with him but it was one of the more ridiculous things I've seen.
