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