It's a lonely Thursday night and I've just finished up a session of 12 tabling a mix of PLO, Limit O8, and Horse when I get a phone call from my friend who's hosting a 1-2nl and 5-5nl game.

He looks just like Kid Rock and has a Scottish accent but pronounces his R's like a pirate. I'm on the fence as Gears of War 2 had just come out... but with a voice like his, how can you tell the guy no?

So I head over and only see a 1-2 table running. It's the 2nd hand and my chips are already in the middle when I overbet 5 * pot with QK on a board of K9Tr. Someone snap calls and the dealer proceeds to turn a 6 and the guy says straight with a huge grin as I think Gawddammit... I pushed into the nuts. He then flips over 78o. The river comes a Jack and I mirror his actions but then instantly feel bad as he has a Mike Matusow blowup on how rigged the game is.

Just then 6 people walk in the door. There were 4 drug dealers, one ~80 year old Vietnamese man who everyone called "Young man", and a rich 25ish Chinese kid. A fellow degenerate and I went to the next table and we all started a new 5-5 game.

Let me just tell you that this was the craziest game that I ever saw. There was an all-in every 3rd hand for thousands of dollars at a time. Players were literally getting chip racks handed to them for a new buy-in and then just throwing the whole rack in that hand. It wasn't even that people were getting monsters either as hands like 94o and the like were constantly going to showdown and this was with pf straddles of $20-$50 each time.

So anyways... I'm just watching this all unfold before my eyes and I'm creaming my pants. I finally hit a set and ship it with a 3 * pot bet on the turn just knowing that I'll get paid off by TPTK or better. One of the drug dealers just grabs a ton of blacks and slams them down in one motion on the table and yells "I BUY!" revealing a flush draw. He hits on the river and my heart sinks. This was the exact moment in time when I snap-tilted.

Suddenly the craziest holdem game that I've been in was just not enough for me. I needed more action. I craved more action. I started betting the dealer at the other table on the colour of flops while doing $100 omaha flips with a friend just taking his word. Then the Rich Chinese kid taught me a Vietnamese gambling game called Cao Cao where you get 5 cards and try to make 3 cards = 0 and the remaining 2 cards = 0. It worked on a point scale so you could lose up to 5 * your bet on any given hand.

The swings that I was taking was just like a Sine wave. I had got my stack up to within a thousand down when everyone was too tired to play. Rich Chinese kid was down 6k in poker and still wanted to gamble as did I, so we continued to play Cao Cao. It was around this time that my fiancee had phoned me and told me that she was coming to pick me up. It was 7PM on Friday.

We continued playing and my fiancee had arrived. I told her to come inside the house as I wanted to play a few more hands. My fiancee just happens to be Vietnamese and recognized the game. Being asian, she couldn't resist the gamble and jumped in by my side to play. We were screaming every 30 seconds either in joy or in anger until the hosts told us to get the hell out as they had stuff to do.

I finished the night off -5k overall and slept til Sunday only to wake up and find out that the Shotgun in GoW2 now blows.

Brag: None
Beat: Tons
Variance: Hella lotta


Cliff notes:
Play in home game with drug dealers and degenerate gamblers. Game is juiciest ever. I get sucked out on and insta-tilt. I start to gamble in 4 places at once. Play for 24 hours straight. My fiancee joins in the gambling. I get kicked out. I lose lots of mobnies.
