I realize my audience for this post will be quite narrow but I have to share it nonetheless. If you’re not a poker player, you probably know one. Share the following story, they’ll appreciate it.
I am an avid poker player, mostly at the casino. Tuesday night my father and I went to play and stayed only for about five and a half hours (I’ve been known to play for ten or more hours). During the session I hit quads (four of a kind) three times, each while holding a pocket pair: 10s, 3s, and 6s. The player across from me caught quads while holding a single 5. And the player to my left caught a 10 high straight flush by hitting the inside 9 of hearts.
All on the same table within the span of five and a half hours.
Shame you didn’t hit your quad 6s as the other guys hit his quad 5s. Any of the quads really pay?
Oh yeah they all paid well others were full. But mohegan sun has a bad beat jackpot so if I had 6s and he had 5s, he would have gotten 187k and id have gotten 50k.
As an aside, I went back up saturday night and played with one of the actors from A Bronx Tale. One of C’s friends from the teenage years who died in the car fire.
