And I continue to play poker because??? Only reason is because I’m a dumb ass. I lost a total of one hundred dollars yesterday. The first forty dollar tournament I busted out early then played cash with these strangers. This game was played with dollar chips, house rules at David A.’s house. He is married to my close friend, Zelda. Traditionally we are at ends but thirteen years later, I think He finally got over me getting puke on his face while barfing out the front window of my car. A few familiar faces, we started the second twenty dollar tourney. Stood in a lot longer this time around but busted out seventh. In the middle of the cash play my Dad rang to invite me to a tournament at Hollywood Park. It is a fund raiser, a yearly tournament that Baseball pitcher Cory Lidle held every year for the make a wish foundation. Cory’s family has continued to hold this in his memory. I sat next one of the celebrities, a game show host, so there were a lot of pictures. The buy-in was three hundred dollars for eight hundred in chips, Daddy covered me. Okay one hundred dollars for eight hundred more in chips, Daddy covered. I wasn’t getting a Mutherfucking thing. My holds were just sick. Eight two off suite, three Jack off suite. Over and over and over and over. My shit was just bad. Last buy in, one hundred dollars for eight hundred in chips, and wow I was going some where. Doubled up, finally I was even with the table, about four thousand in chips. I got my next holds and it was the silent killer “big slick”. When I took a look, I knew I should have folded, I did not. Flop comes King, Five, Queen. Bet out One thousand chips, the player calls, next card is a Queen, I bet One thousand, player calls, Ten comes, I bet one thousand Player calls all in, I call and before the river, he exposes his set of fives, my only hope was a Jack or king….It didn’t come. Fuck him! I left, now back to the Monkey Casino to give some more money away. I don’t learn my lesson and I never know when I’ve had enough. Inherited extreme’s mentality, thanks Dad.
