Monday night at Harrah's

Went to Harrah's after work and checked into the free room at Harrah's. I always get the same stares from people as I carry my boxfan into the hotel with me. Yea people ...I am addicted to sleeping with a fan blowing on me. You would be surprised at how many people do this, but most are not addicted to it in a way that they have a "Travel fan"...I do. In fact, my wife some
times thinks I am crazy as we sleep with 3 fans on in the bedroom which one is the ceiling fan. Our bedroom sounds like a wind tunnel when we turn out the lights. I head up to the room and chill for awhile and change clothes. Speaking of clothes, looks loike I may have to go purchase some work clothes as I did not bring enough clean clothes to stay going from home for 5 days...oh well...won't be the first time and definitely not the last.

I head to the casino to get in a game and run into JoeB in the 2-5nl game and he tells me the free room girl had come thru there a few minutes before and they all got free rooms too...SSCHWEEET. I go sit at a 1-2nl and take out $250.00 and I am sitting next to a guy that looks just like Capt. Spaulding from "The Devils Rejects". He questions the time rack and pulls his phone out right in front of everyone and starts chatting...this guy has never played here before. So I look at my first hand and get Kh10h, and I call a raise up to $6.00 along with 4 others. Flop comes out 9s10d10s. Everyone knuckles around to me and I pop the pot $15.00 and everyone folds except Capt. Spaulding who pops it up to $30.00...OK...I call. Turn card bricks out...I check and he bets out $30.00. Now I am kind of in a bind as he could have lots of hands that I beat here, and I think I have him. I think of popping him and decide to just smooth for pot control. River bricks and ole CS pushes $85.00 out these. I actually of thinking about maybe popping him again and decide to call...He tables As10c. Got cold decked the first hand I played for over half my chips...how sick. I guess the play would be to raised on the turn to see where I am and pitch it if he comes back over the top...Oh Well.

I go into ninja short-stack mode and get all my money back and then some in 3 hours. I actually had to step away from the Casino and call Da Rock for a ruling. I think I got a bad ruling on a hand and it tilted me some. I was sitting there pissed and one of the kids asks me, "Hey man you play in the Gulfcoast?". I pissed off said, "Yea"...he asked "Where do you play?" and I answer in a pissed off voice ,"Everywhere man...Everywhere". Thats when I realized that I had GCP hoodie on and he was asking about the site. I immediately turn into mr. niceguy and give him one of my cards and start telling him about the site. I need to quit being a whiner.

The hand in question: I am in the 5 seat and when the hand was over, the guy in the 8 seat turned up his cards. I held on to mine for a second and the dealer just sat there and looked at me...She never pushed the cards forward or anything. At this point I threw/dropped my cards
across the line and the very corner, I mean a tad bit of 1 card touched the muck. Well, when the dealer pushed the cards forward I noticed it was a chop and immediately grabbed my cards. My cards where still visible...obviously to the whole table that these were my cards...and the chaos ensued. I did not make a big deal about it as it was part my fault so I just told the dealer, who is a weak dealer and everyone knows this, to call the floor clearly expecting to have the pot chopped. Floor guy gets there and rules against me. FWIW...Darryl declared, exactly what my understanding was, my cards are live in this situation...Oh well...It was my fault and the pot was not that big.

Oh well...Heading back tonight
