The Monkey Casino

I have personally dubbed our home game location “The Monkey Casino” basically because I play poker twice a week with a bunch of monkeys. This title derives from constant misdeals, string bets, pot splashing, side pot confusion and game delays such as somemonkey knocking their entire stack of chips into the main pot.

Here’s the line up.

“Me-Boy”, and or Timmy Me-Boy, it’s his pad, he’s way neurotic and tries to keep the chaos and messes to a minimum. Unsucessfully.
“Dom”, nicknamed after J Dahmer, there are so many damn Daves this nickname just stuck, he’s not a cannibal, gay, or a killer
“Novella”, this is what Spanish Soap Operas are called, because every hand is drama, he can’t decide what to do fast ever, and then ends up folding the hand anyway.
“O.G. MB” simply meaning “Original Monkey Business” this guy never deals a clean hand, always bets nutty, with uneven stacks that need to be counted, and loves to raise big with gut shots. Drives me nuts!
“Chadwick”, its just an add on to his real name, but lord he is my nemesis, we always go head, but I notices don’t lose as much to him when I flirt and sit next to him.
“The Thousandaire” Nick- named for all the casino tourneys he’s entered and won, cash in the thousands, he is one of my favorite players, because he plays a very traditional game and get angry when the newbies play against him and win with crap, the anger is so entertaining.

We play with more guys, but they haven’t gotten nick names yet.

Last night we played some ten dollar tourneys. I was dealing, the very rare occasion accrued, I had a slight misdeal. I saw the card I was tossing across the table and confessed to the recip I had seen it. One of the guys made a comment “she’s honest”. It made me think.
Believe me, I am not honest, but I have honest integrity, and I’m honestly competitive. I trust my skill and have confidence in my game, I couldn’t cheat if I wanted to.
Wish I could say the same for the rest of the crew! BTW I lost all three tourneys, maybe I shouldn’t have started drinking Mimosas at breakfast.

Lady Luck has a nice sound, being the only female at the weekly poker game, hosted by the town bartender has simple perks.
Having big boobs and wearing low cut tops doesn't hurt either.
I'm sure the men filter themselves a bit, but over all they are pretty raw, I enjoy hanging out with men, they don't talk about celebrity gossip, they don't bother with complaining about their home life, kids, wife, etc.
They talk about the hand that's being played, a bad beat they suffered at the casino the night before and sports.
I recently asked if they could all smoke cigarettes at the same time so there would be some clear air time, but like always they laughed and ingnore me.
I've acquired a poker nickname, well two actually, I've won a few Poker tournys and have the poker respect that out weights acceptance.....FEAR.
I like when I'm trying to bluff someone out and another player reminds the table that I'm a forced to be afraid of.
I love taking people out of the game.
I like when I bet big pre flop and the players drop like flies... I must say, the money is nice but only a small bonus to compare to the WIN!
Women can not physically compare to a man.
Men are by nature just much stronger then women, but in a fair fight, brain & skill Vs. brain & skill it feels good to walk away in first or second place.
Sure I drop sexual innuendoes when ever I get the chance, put my hand on any knee close enough, or get dolled up sometimes, but poker is a game where anything goes, house rules apply and being naturally sexy isn't breaking any of them.


I went to Vegas this past weekend, I played a tourny on Sunday morning of 59 men again being the only female, I came in fourth, and mostly because my friends were texting to hurry back for check out.
The players that had gotten knocked out stood around to watch me play, taking men out, I must have taking seven out myself, I had to stop myself from being nervous because well I had really good hands.
I won a hundred fifty bucks, but it meant nothing..... Watching the other 10 out of 56 that hung out after they were done was the real win for me!
They lost to a girl!
