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