A replay of one night last week – I’ve mentioned Shaunie before and she continues her role as a spoiled princess believing that poker was invented for her to do as she wishes even if the rest of the world has to conform. Check this post.

I slid into the Box, a full $30-60 H table, and Shaunie was gracing the poker room with her presence by playing in the 5s. The 7s, a man unknown to me, had a $20 bill on the table underneath his small stack of chips. I told him the bill had to come off the table – only $100 bills were allowed. He informed me that it was his lucky $20. Well hell…if it was he needed to ditch it anyway, he had very little left in the way of chips.

I said, “Lucky or not, it can’t be on the table, only $100 bills are allowed.”

He asked me why, I explained that when a player sees a bill on the table, they know it’s $100 and how much is going to play in a hand, that’s why we have the rule.

He removed it, without a grumble or a twitch.

As I asked for Time from each player, I noticed that our darling of the poker room, Miss Shaunie herself, had a $1.00 bill under her stacks of chips. I know her and me are going to have a problem because rules do not apply to her. But I’m a persistent bitch. I said, “Honey, the $1.00 bill has to come off the table.”

She said, “I’ll just slide it under my chips so know one can see it’s a $1.00 bill.”

Yeah…right. That’s the whole reason for the $100 bill rule. Now I might have been a little terse when I snapped, “No you won’t. You’ll take it off the table. I just asked this gentleman to remove his $20,” as I motioned at the 7s. “So how could I allow you to leave yours on the table?”

She pouted, “I’ll just leave the game then.”

I said, “Ok! Your choice.”

She snapped, “Call the Floor Man.”

Shit! Wonder where she’s from? Shaunie Land, maybe.

Carmen was a few feet away and I called her. I explained that I had just asked the 7s to remove a $20 and when I asked the 5s to remove the $1.00 bill, she wanted a floor person.

Carmen told her to take it off the table – NOW!

Shaunie said she would quit.

Carmen said, “Fine,” and left to help a customer.

Shaunie announced that she would just go to another game and put the bill back on the table. She racked up to leave and as she did, she waved at me, “She’s always mean to me.”

I replied, “I’m not mean to anyone.”

“Yes, you are. You are always mean to me.”

Me, “No I’m not. You just never think the rules apply to you.”

*Good bye, Shaunie*

The table was mystified as to why she couldn’t abide by the rule…since it was a rule and everyone knew it.

Donna was in the 3s. She said, “She’s the kind of person that gives women poker players a bad name.”

RIGHT ON, DONNA!

The 7s went on a rush. Damn good thing he got rid of that lucky $20.00.

When I got pushed, I told Carmen that Shaunie said she would just go to another table and put the bill back on with her chips.

It was hysterical. Carmen’s eyes picked up twinkle as she started searching the tables in the room, “Where is she?”

*laughing my butt off*
