Devilfish blog.

« on: June 30, 2008, 01:22:55 AM »

My luck has been shit and I feel like a one legged man at an arse kicking party.

I played for 12 hours in the $1,500 Omaha (Event No.19 ) when a new dealer sat down and announced to the table she’d never dealt Omaha before! There were only 6 tables left so surely they could find 6 dealers who could deal Omaha??? Anyway she miss dealt on the second hand and knocked me out.

Then I played the $5,000 Omaha with Rebuys (Event No.28). In this tournament if you were out of chips, you could take a double rebuy and I was in for $30,000 already when the dealer started shaking and closing his eyes. He’d made several mistakes so I asked if he was OK, he said no and that he had a low sugar level, so I asked a floorwoman to replace him. She decided he could deal a few more hands and ended up getting heads-up with Kings suited against Queens (unsuited).

We had about 6,000 left each when the dealer mucked the flop before turning it and then dealt another one quick hoping we hadn’t noticed!! A ruling was called and the decision was that the cards must be reshuffled and another flop dealt. On a 9 high flop we each had our 6,000 in making a 20,000 pot. Wouldn’t you know it, a Queen spiked on the turn so I had to buy another 10,000 worth of chips thanks to very bad decisions by floor staff.

To finish me off I then had my Aces cracked by Phil Hellmuth’s 3355, so I left the Rio $50k down and stepped in some dog shit outside with a 6 inch nail in it.

Well, he is the Devilfish. He never loses because he played badly. It's because the dealer made a mistake or Hellmuth sucked out on him.

I struggle to imagine him asking the dealer if he's alright, too. More like, "What the **** are you doing, you idiot. Open your bloody eyes and look what you're ******* doing."

I didnt read the excerpt, but Im guessing a Devilfish blog goes along the lines of:

Got up
Moaned about not getting good cards
Lost, moaned about bad beats
Said 'baby'
Tell assorted poker media 'Poker is 70% luck you know, thats why I lost'
Followed cocktail waitress until security arrived

Am i close?

He should start every blog entry with a "Twat update; Just checked, still am one"
