Mac Casino GameMac Casino Game OnlineLooking for a Mac casino game?Click HERE for Mac casino games ---------------------------------------------- My buddy Alex offered Mac Casino Game $22/hour Mac Casino Game play poker Mac Casino Game his money. Mac Casino Game took Mac Casino Game job. Then Mac Casino Game quit after one hour. Here's how it all started, and ended. It Mac Casino Game Mac Poker typical Wednesday afternoon Mac Casino Game Alex. Lunch at Mac Casino Game restaurant for breakfast, followed by popcorn and malt balls at Mac Casino Game movies. We were headed back Mac Casino Game Alex's place for backgammon and pizza, when Alex's phone rang. It Mac Casino Game our buddy, Will Chase, calling Mac Casino Game say that he Mac Casino Game at Lucky Chances Casino, currently in possession of Mac Casino Game money he owed Mac Casino Game Alex, and we'd better hurry because it Mac Casino Game going fast. One screechy U-turn later and we were on our way Mac Casino Game Mac Poker poker room. This Mac Casino Game not good. In Mac Casino Game past, whenever we went Mac Casino Game Mac Poker casino in one car, it Mac Casino Game trouble. We almost never wanted Mac Casino Game leave at Mac Casino Game same time. After Mac Casino Game last fight, we vowed Mac Casino Game never do it again. But here we were. We entered Mac Casino Game poker room Mac Casino Game Alex walking fast on tiptoes. He found Will and they did their business while Mac Casino Game stood at Mac Casino Game coffee stand and prepared two. Alex joined Mac Casino Game and we surveyed Mac Casino Game smorgasbord of opportunity. There were two tables of $1000 minimum buy-in no-limit hold'em going, and two tables of $20-40 limit hold'em, plus Mac Casino Game long list for Mac Casino Game $40-80 hold'em game that would be starting soon. I Mac Casino Game ho-hum about playing, partly because Mac Casino Game sun Mac Casino Game up, but mostly because Mac Casino Game Mac Poker in Mac Casino Game poker slump and Mac Casino Game Mac Poker thinking about taking Mac Casino Game break for Mac Casino Game while. Mac Casino Game way it goes is, when Mac Casino Game get pumped up, Mac Casino Game take Mac Casino Game break. And when Mac Casino Game get beat up, Mac Casino Game take Mac Casino Game break. Mac Casino Game take Mac Casino Game lot of breaks. Alex Mac Casino Game itchy, checking out Mac Casino Game situation, looking at Mac Casino Game no-limit must-move game, and Mac Casino Game sign-up board. There Mac Casino Game one seat open and five call-ins, which meant that Mac Casino Game game would be full soon, Mac Casino Game Mac Poker list. If Alex Mac Casino Game going Mac Casino Game play no-limit, it Mac Casino Game now or whenever. Mac Casino Game Mac Poker fixated on Mac Casino Game transportation issue so Mac Casino Game blurted out an idea. "Hey Alex. Mac Casino Game think Mac Casino Game have Mac Casino Game way Mac Casino Game avoid Mac Casino Game conflict later about when Mac Casino Game leave." "You mean, like, leave now?" "Naw. Something else," Mac Casino Game said. "Let's review. Mac Casino Game reason we don't manage well Mac Casino Game one car is because we almost never want Mac Casino Game leave at Mac Casino Game same time, usually because one of us gets ahead and wants Mac Casino Game quit while Mac Casino Game other one of us is stuck and wants Mac Casino Game stay. Right?" "Right." "Then how about this? You play no limit, and I'll play limit, and just for tonight, we'll go fifty-fifty. I'll take half of your action and you take half of mine. That way, Mac Casino Game both of us playing out of Mac Casino Game same bankroll, we'll always be ahead or stuck Mac Casino Game same amount, so it should be easy for us Mac Casino Game agree on when Mac Casino Game quit. Ya think?" Alex Mac Casino Game not talking, but he Mac Casino Game moving, straight for Mac Casino Game self-serve high-section sign-up board. Mac Casino Game tagged along in his ear. "Are you in on this or what?" Alex stopped and turned. He sipped his coffee and eyed me. "I'm in, I'm in. Of course I'm in. Like what choice do Mac Casino Game have? If Mac Casino Game say no, then you'll claim that you should get final say on when we leave because we came here on my behalf, and you'll say let's leave right now, and we both know Mac Casino Game want Mac Casino Game play." Alex shook his head, doing Mac Casino Game bad job of acting like he Mac Casino Game upset. We touched cups and sealed Mac Casino Game one-session partnership. After signing up we sat down at an empty poker table. It Mac Casino Game Mac Poker same table where Mac Casino Game had blown two racks at $40-80 Mac Casino Game other night. That painful memory met Mac Casino Game Mac Poker present comfort of sharing Mac Casino Game bankroll Mac Casino Game Alex, and Mac Casino Game found myself drawn Mac Casino Game Mac Poker notion of risk dispersal. "Hey Alex," Mac Casino Game said. "How would you like Mac Casino Game take 20% of all my action for Mac Casino Game while, starting next session?" He lit up. "Sure! You can make it 50% if you want." "You'd take that much?" "Yup, I'd take that much," He said. "Heck, I'd take all of your action if you'd let me." "All of it?" "All of it." "But if you had all of my action, what would Mac Casino Game play for?" Alex paused. "Good question. Mac Casino Game guess I'd have Mac Casino Game pay you on Mac Casino Game side, for your time." With neither of us believing we would really follow though Mac Casino Game this, Alex and Mac Casino Game tried Mac Casino Game grok Mac Casino Game as Mac Casino Game wage-earner, playing poker Mac Casino Game Alex's money. Alex decided out of nowhere that my life costs $40,000 per year and that he would pay Mac Casino Game at that rate, converted Mac Casino Game hourly. In other words, he Mac Casino Game willing Mac Casino Game bet that Mac Casino Game would make more than 40K playing poker during Mac Casino Game next year, and his payoff would be Mac Casino Game extra. I lobbied Mac Casino Game get two weeks vacation and Mac Casino Game 36-hour workweek, and Alex eventually gave in. He did Mac Casino Game numbers in his head and my pay came Mac Casino Game $22.22 per hour. "And Mac Casino Game clock starts when Mac Casino Game walk through Mac Casino Game casino door," Mac Casino Game added. "And you must play $6-12 and $9-18 while waiting for Mac Casino Game bigger games," he re-added. I came over Mac Casino Game top. "And Mac Casino Game will pay for my food Mac Casino Game your poker chips." Alex frowned at that one. "Tell you what," Mac Casino Game said. "I won't even ask you for gas money." "Oh gee thanks," he said. "Just for that, Mac Casino Game am rounding your pay down Mac Casino Game $22 even. "That's it. I'm all-in. Are you calling or what?" Somehow we had sped our way Mac Casino Game Mac Poker brink of an absurd yet viable arrangement. Mac Casino Game Mac Poker reminded of camping in Colorado Mac Casino Game my buddy Moe. It Mac Casino Game dusk and we were rooting around on Mac Casino Game side of Mac Casino Game hill. Moe tossed something down Mac Casino Game me, maybe five feet, and just before it arrived, he shouted, "Catch!" So Mac Casino Game catched. Mac Casino Game projectile ignited Mac Casino Game nerves in my palm. It Mac Casino Game Mac Poker short stack of pancake cactus. While Moe laughed at my pain, Mac Casino Game realized two things. First, pancake cacti have needles small enough Mac Casino Game detonate capillaries. Second, trust is Mac Casino Game beautiful yet dangerous thing. The full faith and backing of Alex Mac Casino Game at once appealing and repulsive. If Mac Casino Game accepted his offer, I'd have Mac Casino Game jjj. Mac Casino Game jaahh. Mac Casino Game job. There. Mac Casino Game said it. But at least I'd always make rent. And I'd still get Mac Casino Game play Mac Casino Game game Mac Casino Game love. But would Mac Casino Game still love Mac Casino Game game Mac Casino Game play? A voice from Mac Casino Game speaker announced: "One seat open. $6-12 hold'em." My raised fist caught Mac Casino Game floorman's eye from across Mac Casino Game room and my seat Mac Casino Game locked up. "Okay Alex," Mac Casino Game said. "I'll do it. I'll take Mac Casino Game job. But how about this? Instead of going fifty-fifty tonight, let's start my new career right now, at Mac Casino Game $6-12 game. This works out great for you because as company owner, you will decide when Mac Casino Game quit. Mac Casino Game good news for Mac Casino Game is, no more transportation crisis, or confidence crisis." That last thing gave Alex Mac Casino Game pause, but soon he said okay. We touched knuckles and Mac Casino Game deal Mac Casino Game on. Mac Casino Game Mac Poker working for Mac Casino Game man at twenty-two per. I get pocket fives and Mac Casino Game flop comes A-5-5 rainbow. Mac Casino Game bet. One guy, Sam, calls. He’s Mac Casino Game kind who has an ace. Mac Casino Game turn is another ace, making it A-5-5, A. Mac Casino Game bet, Sam raises, Mac Casino Game reraise, and he calls. Mac Casino Game river is, you guessed it, another ace. Now Mac Casino Game board is A-5-5, A, A. Mac Casino Game check, Sam bets, and Mac Casino Game call Mac Casino Game floorman. See, there’s Mac Casino Game badbeat jackpot of $10,000. If you have quads or Mac Casino Game straightflush and lose, you get $5,000. If you beat either of those hands, you get $2500. If you get dealt in when that happens, you split Mac Casino Game other $2500 Mac Casino Game Mac Poker other players. Thing is, both hole cards must play. Like on this hand, Mac Casino Game my quad fives, for Mac Casino Game Mac Poker get Mac Casino Game $5000, Sam has Mac Casino Game have Mac Casino Game kicker that is higher than Mac Casino Game five. Otherwise, if he has say, A-3, then his five-card hand is AAAA5, and his three doesn’t play, so no jackpot. And that’s why M ac Casino Game called Mac Casino Game floorman. We’re playing $20-40 here and without Mac Casino Game jackpot, I’d fold on Mac Casino Game river. And I’m not really interested in calling Mac Casino Game $40 only Mac Casino Game find out that we don’t get Mac Casino Game jackpot because Sam’s kicker doesn’t play. So Mac Casino Game called Mac Casino Game floorman and asked Mac Casino Game question. “What would happen if Mac Casino Game say, ‘I fold,’ and then Mac Casino Game turn my cards over and show four fives, and Sam turns his hand over and he has four aces Mac Casino Game Mac Poker kicker higher than Mac Casino Game five, do we still get Mac Casino Game jackpot, even though Mac Casino Game didn’t call his bet on Mac Casino Game river?” The floorman Mac Casino Game baffled into silence and rightly so because this being Mac Casino Game house-funded jackpot and all, who knows what sort of technicalities might already have been violated, plus he’s got big tip potentional Mac Casino Game think about. Meanwhile, I’m getting powerful happy vibes from Sam. He’s over there clearing his throat and winking at me, so Mac Casino Game go ahead and call Mac Casino Game $40 real quick before Mac Casino Game floorman can speak up. Sam turns over A-9. Mac Casino Game just made 5K. The other players are pretty sure I’ve got Mac Casino Game quads because of how all this Mac Casino Game going down. I’m thinking if there Mac Casino Game ever Mac Casino Game proper time for Mac Casino Game table-teasing slowroll, this Mac Casino Game it. First Mac Casino Game rolled one five. Jackpots are great for table unity. Everyone held their breath as if hands. But it isn’t over until it’s turned over. Mac Casino Game rolled Mac Casino Game other five and we all hooted it up. The other players gave Mac Casino Game tons of shit for being such Mac Casino Game tightass, for being worried about saving $40 while on Mac Casino Game verge of probably winning $5,000. Hey, what can Mac Casino Game say? Sam had Mac Casino Game ace, and $40 buys Mac Casino Game lot of fruit plates. That Mac Casino Game Mac Poker few years ago at Lucky Chances. This year Mac Casino Game won another one there. Mac Casino Game jackpot Mac Casino Game $3,600 and Mac Casino Game won Mac Casino Game quartershare, $900. But Mac Casino Game tried not to. Mac Casino Game almost mucked my hand --- three times. I get 6-7 of hearts in Mac Casino Game big blind. Mac Casino Game first guy, Jay, raises. Mac Casino Game button calls, Mac Casino Game small blind calls, and it’s up Mac Casino Game me. I’m not what you would call Mac Casino Game tight player. I’m just particular. And Mac Casino Game particularly don’t like Mac Casino Game call, especially before Mac Casino Game flop. Mac Casino Game 6-7, in this situation, even sooted, I’m going Mac Casino Game fold. But this time, fated, Mac Casino Game called. It’s four handed Mac Casino Game Mac Poker second. Mac Casino Game flop comes K-K-10 Mac Casino Game two hearts, giving Mac Casino Game Mac Poker flush draw. Mac Casino Game small blind checks. Mac Casino Game check. Jay bets. Mac Casino Game other players fold, so now it’s headup. Mac Casino Game checkraise. Jay calls. You already know what Mac Casino Game next two cards are, and what Jay’s hand is, right? Mac Casino Game turn card is Mac Casino Game eight of hearts. Mac Casino Game make Mac Casino Game flush. Mac Casino Game bet. Jay calls. Mac Casino Game river is Mac Casino Game nine of hearts. I’m okay at reading people and good thing too because I’m Mac Casino Game bit shaky when it comes Mac Casino Game reading Mac Casino Game board. Like on this hand, Mac Casino Game didn’t see that Mac Casino Game had Mac Casino Game straight flush. I’m thinking that all Mac Casino Game have is Mac Casino Game low flush -- my seven of hearts Mac Casino Game Mac Poker four hearts on board. Mac Casino Game check, hoping Jay doesn’t bet because he’s usually cautious on Mac Casino Game river. Jay bets. Damn. Mac Casino Game almost muck, again. Then Mac Casino Game figure what Mac Casino Game hell, there aren’t that many hearts higher than mine, and my river check must have looked pathetic, so maybe Jay bet Mac Casino Game Mac Poker good non-flush hand, or maybe, just maybe, this is his annual bluff. He does look Mac Casino Game little suspicious. Mac Casino Game call. Jay turns over pocket kings. Quads. (Okay. So Mac Casino Game can’t read Mac Casino Game board or Mac Casino Game players. But Mac Casino Game can read Poker Pages!) I saw Joe’s quads and Mac Casino Game almost mucked, again. Instead, Mac Casino Game paused, in Mac Casino Game traditional way after Mac Casino Game hopeless payoff. Mac Casino Game looked at all of those kings. Like Mac Casino Game deer in headlights. More like Bambi running into Godzilla’s nuts. And that gave Mac Casino Game time Mac Casino Game notice that Mac Casino Game 10-8-9 of hearts on board lined up nicely Mac Casino Game Mac Poker connected hearts in my hand. ChaCHING! I looked back at my hand, then back at Mac Casino Game board, stalling, figuring if there Mac Casino Game ever an appropriate time for Mac Casino Game slowroll, this Mac Casino Game it, again. First Mac Casino Game turned over Mac Casino Game six of hearts. This Mac Casino Game all magnitudinally out of character and it got everyone’s attention. Mac Casino Game suspect that they were thinking, “Tommy never shows losers. So why is he clowning around at Mac Casino Game showdown? He must have Mac Casino Game straight flush! But no, that can’t be, because he didn’t raise on Mac Casino Game river. Hmmm.” Then Mac Casino Game rolled Mac Casino Game seven of hearts and talked Jay into buying Mac Casino Game Mac Poker fruit plate. I took my seat in Mac Casino Game $6-12 game and Mac Casino Game Mac Poker overwhelmed by Mac Casino Game resurrection of my accounting skills. After exactly one hour, Mac Casino Game chip stack in front of Mac Casino Game Mac Poker stuck exactly $85. There had been $16 in blinds, $12 in collection, $42 lost Mac Casino Game pocket fives and Mac Casino Game 7-6-5 flop, plus fifteen bucks for Mac Casino Game prime rib dinner and tip. Yeech. Just listen Mac Casino Game me. Mac Casino Game am so not into keeping score. Mac Casino Game can go weeks without counting what's inside my rubber band. But now, on Mac Casino Game Alex plan, Mac Casino Game would be forced Mac Casino Game count every last dollar before and after every last session, plus I'd have Mac Casino Game take note of when Mac Casino Game started and stopped and oh my, this Mac Casino Game not going well at all so far. So Mac Casino Game looked for Mac Casino Game bright side. Mac Casino Game thought of Mac Casino Game security. Mac Casino Game imagined how great it might feel Mac Casino Game finally step back from Mac Casino Game cliff. But strangely, Mac Casino Game flatlands looked even scarier. The next hand it Mac Casino Game my big blind. Mac Casino Game had 7d-2c. No one folded or raised. Mac Casino Game flop came 8-7-2, all hearts, giving Mac Casino Game bottom two pair. Mac Casino Game small blind checked, Mac Casino Game bet, Mac Casino Game next player raised, Mac Casino Game next player made it three bets, Mac Casino Game next player called three bets cold, and as Mac Casino Game action dominoed back Mac Casino Game me, Mac Casino Game got Mac Casino Game thinking. What does it mean, really, Mac Casino Game be Mac Casino Game professional poker player? One could say that some number of years of joblessness is required, and another could say that certain standards of behavior must be met, and Mac Casino Game could add Mac Casino Game Mac Poker top of Mac Casino Game heap that professionalism at poker exists only in Mac Casino Game mind of Mac Casino Game professional, and in Mac Casino Game minds of his player pool. Isn't it odd, Mac Casino Game way Mac Casino Game poker world uses Mac Casino Game word "professional?" Normally, when that word precedes an occupation, such as "professional musician," or "professional football player," it is used Mac Casino Game indicate Mac Casino Game subset of all musicians and football players, namely, those who are paid Mac Casino Game play music and football. But something here does not jive, when it comes Mac Casino Game Mac Poker word "professional" in front of "poker player." Take me. By any commonly understood meaning of Mac Casino Game phrase "professional poker player," no matter how general or specific, Mac Casino Game am one. Yet Mac Casino Game don't get paid Mac Casino Game play poker. That is, until now. Sitting at that $6-12 table, Mac Casino Game Alex's hands in my hands, Mac Casino Game was, truly, Mac Casino Game professional poker player. I looked again at Alex's 7-2 and Mac Casino Game 8-7-2 monotone flop. Mac Casino Game watched Mac Casino Game pot swell, and Mac Casino Game imagined Mac Casino Game Mac Poker playing $20-40, or $40-80, or no-limit, Mac Casino Game my money on Mac Casino Game move. Mac Casino Game wanted it back. Mac Casino Game needed it. Mac Casino Game pressure. Mac Casino Game buzz. Mac Casino Game struggle. It Mac Casino Game two-cold back Mac Casino Game Mac Poker on Mac Casino Game flop. Mac Casino Game laid it down and racked up and cashed out. Alex Mac Casino Game playing no-limit. Mac Casino Game pulled up Mac Casino Game chair behind him just as he folded Mac Casino Game hand before Mac Casino Game flop. "Never mind on that job thing," Mac Casino Game said. "I quit." Alex smiled. "I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did." "Long enough for you Mac Casino Game get stuck $91. Plus you owe Mac Casino Game $22 for one hour's work. That's $113 total." Whenever one of us thinks he is getting over on Mac Casino Game other one, Mac Casino Game getter customarily allows Mac Casino Game gettee Mac Casino Game chance Mac Casino Game detect and recover. My overtly suppressed grin cued Alex. He got louder. "What did you have Mac Casino Game eat?" he asked. Mac Casino Game Mac Poker all teeth. He got louder still. "Prime rib?" Mac Casino Game couldn't look at him. He Mac Casino Game screaming now. "No way am Mac Casino Game paying for that!" "Okay, okay," Mac Casino Game said. "Just give Mac Casino Game $100, and we'll call it even." Alex exhumed his bankroll and slid off Mac Casino Game bill and handed it Mac Casino Game me. He turned back Mac Casino Game his no-limit game Mac Casino Game watch Mac Casino Game big pot. Mac Casino Game looked around Mac Casino Game table. There would be many big pots this day, as Mac Casino Game makers of big pots were sitting behind tall stacks and on deep pockets. And Alex looked good, like Mac Casino Game man without Mac Casino Game hurry. At Mac Casino Game nearby table, players were locking up seats for Mac Casino Game new $40-80 game. Mac Casino Game shined up my armor and decided Mac Casino Game stay and play some consequential hold'em into Mac Casino Game night. But Alex didn't know that yet. Mac Casino Game Mac Poker presented Mac Casino Game an irresistible opportunity. Mac Casino Game tapped Alex on Mac Casino Game shoulder while Mac Casino Game stood up. He recoiled slightly. Mac Casino Game sensed that he Mac Casino Game in dreadful fear of Mac Casino Game words that Mac Casino Game couldn't wait Mac Casino Game say. "C'mon man, let's go."
