PEACHFRONT SPEAKS

the wacky world of bribes

2009-10-01 - 11:55 a.m.

Nothing much of note. The B was infamous for certain floor critters who sold comps, rather than giving them out based on your play, with the result that those of us who didn't see the sense of buying comps usually didn't get any. Hey I was once a high roller, and I could give a care about a $15 snack bar ticket, but there's been a lot of grumbling about it in the poker community at large, and now the B has instituted a computer tracking system. Those folks who were paying kickbacks to get unearned comps are probably not real happy with life right about now. I wonder if I could sell them MY $15 snack bar comps for $5 a pop. I hardly ever use them....

No real notable hands yesterday. Well, one funny hand. I raised or maybe even 3 bet pre-flop with AA, can't remember now, and the flop is some low card flop, and the dude just calls me down. Turns out he flopped a straight. Maybe he felt sorry for me, or maybe in his world he didn't have enough evidence that I had much, but in his shoes, I think I've got to put a raise in there somewhere.

back - next
