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