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