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