There are times that I do a self evaluation and search through my being to see what I am, where I am, what the hell I think I’m doing, and how I got where I am. This search continues for days at times. It’s so intense it’s like looking for light at the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Lately I’ve found myself quite at peace with me. Well…enter the end of my night…table 1. Continue reading Is there a light at the bottom of Marianas Trench?

The anthill with amplified sound
Picture an anthill teeming with activity on a warm summer day and add SOUND. That’s Bellagio Poker Room right now. The noise alone overwhelms the senses. There seems to be no happy medium, either it’s too quiet or too busy. Continue reading The anthill with amplified sound
The never ending high-limit
This night found me dealing everything but a low limit game except at the very end of my shift when I got to relax and laugh through a $1-$5 7 Card Stud game. Continue reading The never ending high-limit
The freak of all freaks
A little catching up. On the 4th, I managed to deal to the Freak of all Freaks, J.C. Pearson. Truthfully I hope he reads this site someday or someone points it out to him and he takes a reading. He’s the subject of other posts here and in previous years. He hates the world, he hates life, he hates himself…Oh yes, I’ve listened to, “He’s just a good old boy away from the table.” So are wife beaters and child molesters.

Andy had the corporation beat
My first game of the night was on table 1, $300-$600 Stud, the game was 4 handed and the conversation veered to the ‘big game’. This is the way it was stated from the players – I never asked any questions or said a word, just listened to the conversation. Continue reading Andy had the corporation beat
Andy’s back $10K/$20K
He’s back. Andy’s been playing $10,000-$20,000 in a rematch against the best of the best in 1 on 1 Freeze-out, Holdem contests. They had him 6 for 6 from a contest earlier this year. I’m not sure how he did in the 1st match with Howard L. I dealt 1 down of that. The following day Andy played Jennifer, heard he beat her.
The Stranger is reported to be $1M ahead
For all of you that always wondered who the player was that spiced up the games to $10,000-$20,000 – this page gives you a basic background/idea of the man that came into Bellagio and played high limit poker this year with the best of the best.
I was off over the weekend. Report as of last night when I went in was that he was $1,000,000 ahead until Monday’s play and they busted him. Will try to follow up with more accurate information after tonight.
Word is the stranger is gone
I was off over the weekend so missed any news that might have happened. When I went to work on Monday, news was the big game just broke up…that was 7 p.m.
Tuesday I dealt a heads-up, half 7 Card Stud/Chinese Poker game $500-$1,000 limit. I asked one of the players about Our Stranger. Apparently he’s gone. He was going to play on Monday…everyone showed up but him. 🙂
The Stranger is playing $10K-$20K
The limit hopped right up to $10,000-$20,000. I dealt the game about the 3rd hour into my night. It was fast and orderly, played with $5,000 chips and 9 players and a minimum buy-in of $200,000. Of course there was a waiting list…go figure.
