Oops I did it again

All of the stories are indeed true.  I am currently in my twenties and am studying.

Had a pretty fun blackjack spot yesterday.  The dealer was on 7/17 and pulled another card by mistake.  It was an  . 

I was playing the first box and so that was the next card that I was going to receive.  I naturally proceeded to place all my marbles on the following hand.  The  was accompanied by a  against a dealer  .  That'll do I thought.  Could be worse.

Dealer then pulls  ... ....

She started laughing, and to be fair I could understand why, it was pretty funny.  Sick cooler though!

So Scoop has started pretty disastrously.  We've played every event so far and cashed for 1 $6 bounty.  I mean I guess if you want to take a positive out of it, a cash is a cash!  Of to the PLO zoom tables now for a night that could be potentially fun!

When you say you played all the Zoom, do you mean all the L Zoom? OR all Low, Medium and High events?

How did you get on in the PLO?

What I meant was I played some scoop events, bricked them and played some PLO zoom.  That session did not end well either

Story Time:  Daddy?

So exams were done and I had the whole summer ahead.  It was to be a gambling free summer.  No poker, no house games.  As soon as I make these resolutions, I always immediately get a phone call asking me if I want to go to the casino and once again this was the case.  This time however, they were trying to make me go to the casino, but I said no, no no.  That was until said person offered to put me into a cash game as I was pretty broke yet again.  We arrived at the casino and went straight to the cash tables.  There was a nice looking 1/2 so decided to sit at that table.  After grinding at that table for about 4 hours, I had a very strange experience, one which i'll likely never forget.

So; my parents were very firmly against me gambling etc, for all the obvious reasons one would assume.  So there I am sitting playing, winning some ££ in this cash game and then I hear it.  'Seat open for Mr Father Nonymous on the 2/5 PLO'.   What?? I thought to myself.  Did they just announce my dad's name for the 2/5 PLO.  Nah it can't be.  After all the shit him and my mum had given me about gambling, it could never be him.  Just to make sure, I turned around from my seat and looked up.  There he was standing there with a rack full of chips ready to play the 2/5 PLO.  What do I do now.  Do I continue playing this soft game hoping daddy dearest doesn't notice me?  Do I run away and call it a day, hoping to continue this charade? Or do I confront the father who has been bollocking me for so long on the downsides of gambling?

Thoughts?

Sounds pretty grim, a mate i know had real trouble getting through to his parents in regard to gambling, and he wins a lot of money!
Did you confront him? think the best thing to do would be go say hello, or ask him at home the next day.

Been playing much recently, going to venture to DTD for the Grand prix?

What is good?  Is anybody good?  What people perceive to be good is usually someone elses perception of good, either from reading something that they've written or from watching a video or something of similar effect and then everyone just tends to replicate this thinking.  I'm confused.  Maybe there is no good and there is no bad.  Everyone just plays different.

It took my mum 10 years to stop saying "there's only one winner in a casino!".  What did you do with your dad?  I'm liking the idea of him being a secret pro and just trying to steer you towards a more conventional life tbh!

I did a runner! He's probably still crushing omaha to this day.

Back to the story in Balamory

After that day I decided it was best to lie low for a while.  Best leave daddy to bring the good old wages crushing those PLO games.  After that day, I saw my father in a new light.  What a hero I thought.  I wish he'd give me coaching.  Every so often at the dinner table, i'd try to drop him hints that I knew he was a secret PLO grinder.  E.g. 'dad can you pass me that POT please' all little subtle things like that, which seemed really funny to me at the time, but now thinking back on it, it probably just all flew over his head.

A few months had passed and we'd have a little bit of money, Uni had started again so I was no longer living at home.  I did however decide to travel home for GUKPT London because as the expression has told many a man 'fortune favours the gambler'.  I had registered for the tournament and been given my seat card.  Table 10 seat 7.  20 minutes later, the empty seat 8 became occupied.  From this player I received a look to which this day I will never forget.  Shock, disappointment, anger, embarrassment and a look of understanding all in one expression.  He took his seat and the first words that came out of my mouth were 'alright dad! at least you've got position on me'

Great story telling so far, keep it up 😀

The Last 6 months

So where have I been for the last 6 months.  I'll have to go back to the start of August.  I was as you've probably come to expect broke.  However as per usual I received one of those fun phone calls, this time it was from my mate Busto Hernandez.  Busto and I had been through a lot together, a lot of gambling times had been shared and this time was no different.  He'd owed me £1k for some time, and had it to give to me, but he had a good feeling, he knew what the prem results were going to be that weekend or so he pleaded.

I believed him he was very convincing.  He offered me a 50% freeroll if I let him keep the money to place the bet and he had me genuinely convinced that he would win.  The bet included Crystal Palace to beat Norwich 3-1 away, Leicester to win 4-2 and predict some other results and not scores.  I kept faith and my faith was rewarded.  By the end of that gameweek we had 53k to collect.  We were unbusto again.  Me and Mr Hernandez, had a bit to spin.  Again he convinced me he would spin this to 60k, you know a round 30 each, and once more he fulfilled his end of the deal.  We were both very optimistic.  We had decided that we were going to go on a journey.  A fun journey travelling to random places, spinning up our fortunes as we went we had a collective 60k, we were unstoppable.  My next few posts will regale the travelling tales of Noah and Busto as we attempted to become accidental millionaires...well as close as one can get anyway, as millionaires obviously aren't a real thing!
