I rode up to Casino Rama on Friday to meet NutzCarson, and buy him the dinner I owe him for being such a donk at the Monkey Game.
Stupid prop bets *grin.
The ride up was great, and the sunny warm weather meant that everyone was outside enjoying the day (or working), so I found a seat right away.
I'd love to say that I left up, or even that I broke even. But alas, my Alaska fund is lighter by $200, thanks to rivered flushes (2), Mr. Shakey Hands' nut flush beating my second nut flush, and the most missed flops ever. It was laughable.
At one point I saw A9 hearts, and with only $18 left I flung myself at the mercy of the most benevolent (HA!) of poker gods and went all in preflop. Crazy Maniac Man called me (quel surprise), and one other, someone that NutzCarson said was pretty tight. Uh oh.
Both guys check it to the end. The board ended up with a diamond four flush, no ace. Great. Crazy Maniac Man has nothing, so I have a faint hope that my ace plays. Nope. The tight player flips over 35 clubs, meaning that his paired three wins. Good lord.
That stung....beaten by three five. That was when I made my big mistake of the night; I pulled out another buyin.
But like I told the dealer (the cute one, not the old one), there's been times when I've spent more money and had less fun. NutzCarson is a pretty funny guy to talk to, and he had me laughing so hard a few times that I got dirty looks from serious players at other tables.
I bailed just after 9, and was treated to a lovely sunset over the water as I rode to where Keith was working. It's always cool when I can watch him work in his element for a bit, and when he was able to break away, we wandered around the grounds for a bit and I got my fix of fair food.

Have fun in Okie!
I've spent more money and had less fun - I think I said this to a dealer just the other day too :) Glad you enjoyed the play, and the fair food :)
