So my friend is playing 2/5 at the Wynn and theres this old dude sitting with 500$ shoving everywhere, usually preflop and is down a lot but keeps reloading 500$ at a time.

On his current rebuy he hasn't been caught yet won some pots and has somehow worked up a 650$ stack.

He managed to raise and just flat call some regulars reraise to 120$ preflop in position (the reg has him covered). The regular who made it 120$ preflop is a huge ****ing douchebag loser who thinks he's the ****. The old man has picked up on this by now, as this regular has not won a pot off him yet and is complaining that everyone got his money but him. The old man is not dumb, he's rich, and obviously just screwing around.

They see a flop 23Q with two clubs and he shows 78cc to my friend. The regular then pushes allin. The old man didn't have long to think when a waitress walks up and asks, "Would anybody like any beverages?"

"I'll take a water" the old dude says and picks up 500$ from his stack and places it on her tray as a tip "Thank you very much mam."

The waitress has utter shock and disbelief in her eyes and then the old dude throws his remaining 25$ or whatever into the pot and says "I know you have aces but I'm pot committed, I gotta call this."

It's ruled that he's allowed to do that and not only that but the flush comes anyways (DOH COULDA WON MORE BUT STILL LOL)

LOOOOOOOOOOL

Is that legal?

It's legal right now. But could change as this sort of thing could easily be turned into a hustle.

Cool old man. The regular should go hang himself after losing that to a waitress for a bottle of water. Is the Wynn hiring middle aged men as cocktail waitresses? I can start Tuesday.

Man so many funny stories happen at 2/5.

Kid sits down with 25k (5k in mostly blacks and some reds) and a 20k brick.

Some nice old lady with a 230$ stack puts in a humble bet of 25$ on the flop.

Kid raises her allin by throwing his 20k brick in the middle like an arrogant ******.

She folds and he rakes in his 80$ pot proudly, then some other middle aged guy at the table sitting with less than 1k goes "Well I guess we can't let him bully the table..." and pulls a 40-50k brick outa his bag and slams it on the table.

Kid left 5 minutes later

LOL

This is why you should never berate poor players. Just because someone is poor at poker, it doesn't mean he is an idiot that don't know when he is being mocked .

Since the amount was so negligible in those cases, I didn't think much of it...but this guy, now that's how you live large and in charge.

insanely dumb st00pid n00b question:
[not to say i didn't find a couple of these posts hilarious]

i played in B&M's b4 i played online... but i've never played nlhe live.
from stuff i've read in 2+2, the concept of "max-buy-in" doesn't exist for
live nlhe, esp. in vegas...

back when i did micro-limit back home in Cali, they allowed us
to pay 4 table-side breakfast w/ chips[<10$]. I ALWAYS asked the guys @ the table if this was ok...no one ever griped[unless
i got toast crumbs on the cards].
