  1. played a little blackjack at MGM National harbor the last few times in DC but not really worth mentioning. They have continuous shufflers so you can't count. In Tahoe to ski and walked around and found an empty table with $25 min single deck at Montbleu/Bally's with 3/2 blackjack and sat down. Dealer dealt down to the last 10 or so cards so it was game on. Of course someone sat down for the second time through the deck. Dropped $300 in about 15 minutes, couldn't win a hand and lost every single double down and split. Pulled out $300 more and ran it up to around $900, then got 8's against a 6 with a +6 count. Jackpot! First hand get 2 then 10 for 20, second I get a 10. Dealer shows a 7 below, get's an 8. Goodbye $200. Don't think I won more than 5 hands after that and went from $700 to zero in about three decks. Went up to reno last night and found the same rules at a game at peppermill but with $10 min bet. I was spreading from $10 to $100 with no heat and went on a good run and cashed out +$440. Will hit up blackjack and possibly poker here tonight. Poker only runs Wed-Sun at Harvey's here. No big O or PLO games I could find in Reno
  2. Here they have dealer appreciation extra chips with every buy in and a box for dealer tips where you cash out. With 90 entries x $5 and about 30 people doing the $10 add on at the first break and probably $100 in the tip jar, 5 tables the first 5 hours then 1 hour of 4, 1 of 3, 1 of 2 and 2 of 1 we have $850 / 36 = $24 an hour for the Monday night big o tournament. Never heard any dealer complain about dealing it, but they all usually only deal about an hour of it. Dealers are moving from all over the country to deal at the lodge, I wouldn't be surprised if they averaged out $40 an hour. Lots of $5 tips in the big plo games after big pots and $1 on most pots at the smaller games.
  3. I've deleted over 20 posts from the last few pages. If your post contains "Trump", "Previous Policy", "no cr but", "biden should" or similar take it to the CR. Going to start handing days off out if this continues.
  4. when leaving the tech game we sat in the parking garage for a while without moving 11yo: "Probably a drunk tech fan blocking the exit"
  5. Wife has a credit card I pay off to use for food/kids stuff. She uses her own money for non essentials. At dinner last night and I mention to the wife she used the my credit card for non essential stuff. 11yo: "Mom is such a golddigger"
  6. there's also this event, happens every 4 years, not very big so you may have not heard of it that has lots of skiing called the olympics. You should check it out.
  7. District runs from Tarrytown to Oak Hill, and then eastward covering downtown. I lived in the district and moved out to Westlake when my kids were in 1st/K. The different attitude about football is night and day. At the Austin high feeder elementary there was no mention of Austin High, no spirit days, no mention of football. At the Westlake elementary most Fridays were red or blue days to support the high school team. It is much more like a small Texas town when we went to the games. We saw our principal, multiple teachers, and dozens of my kids friends were there. The Austin high games we went to we didn't know a soul, it was mainly just parents of the team and band, and it was downright morbid in the stands. The funniest thing about that move was the first day of school for my boys in Westlake they came home at different times but the first words out of their mouth were the same: "We need to sign up for flag football". There is a tremendous peer pressure to play football and be good at it out here.
  8. not my wife but someone else's at work:
  9. boots flops a set of nines, AK hits an ace on the turn they get it all in and boots doubles through on the last hand of the night and ends up winning $89k on the night
  10. polk 3 bets with 53 into QQ who flat calls flop Q53, Nick doubles up. Polk down almost $80k
  11. I know boots pretty well, one of the best players in the Austin underground
  12. there's an ou thread if you want to talk about this shit
  13. Yeah, gieco probably doesn’t give a fuck if my car is repaired right.
  14. What if the preferred location has hundreds of bad reviews on google and yelp and very few good ones? Had a guy hit me in my mercedes, he had gieco, their preferred place on south Lamar had pretty much nothing but bad reviews on line, took it to Jeff's on north lamar, ended up 2x the estimate but they dealt with the insurance so I didn't have to do anything other than drop off and pick up.
  15. and this week on Fast N' Loud can the gas monkey crew finish up an '05 n1 in time?
  16. semi private game at cardroom up north tonight. BigO and PLO round and round. One super loose agressive and two calling stations playing. should be a good game, 1 seat open if you're interested.
  17. 19 cash games running. last time I was here on a Monday there were maybe 8 running
  18. Multiple people in the big o tournament “oh sorry, this is the first time I’ve played big o”
  19. At the lodge tonight and it’s busier than I’ve ever seen it other than big tournaments. polk and the other new owners are near the front glad handling and taking pictures.
  20. That is wrong. It would take way less than 2 weeks for me to be bragging about my new car.
  21. your brother's dog looks like my tucker, and Santi like Luna
  22. Dated a girl that was going to inherit a couple of hundred k when her grandma died. Her cousins, who hadn't talked to their grandma in over 10 years sued. After all the legal bills her and her cousins got $10k each.
