A big FUCK YOU to Evil Chris!
 
Chris takes me over to play Let it Ride in Vegas. I sat there for about 45 minutes without winning a hand. In $200, I buy another $100. Both him AND the dealer say they rarely, if ever, see a bad run like I had. At the end of it all, I end up winning it back with a blind bet on the end that paid out about $150 or $200.

Seriously though, great to see you again Chris. I could listen to your father-in-law stories all night long.

Ya I love that bet. By blind bet, he bet like a maniac on never looked at his cards till the hand was over. The outcome, he a pair of kings or something like that? Or was three kings? Dirty bastard!

Ronaldo 01-18-2008 08:20 AM

Two pairs. 10's and 7's.

That was nothing though. We played with Connor the next night and he hit two full houses at 11-1. He only played for about half an hour and was up about $800. He was nice enough to buy us dinner at least.

Great hanging with you Ron.

Those 2 full houses Connor had were unreal! I have never seen two high hands like that in one whole evening, nevermind within the span of about half an hour!

If you're gonna play a form of oker play REAL poker where the house doesn't have a huge edge like they do in Let It Ride.

TheEnforcer 01-18-2008 11:42 AM

Oh, and in case you are wondering the house edge on soem bets on LIR is like 46% which is HUGE!!

TheEnforcer 01-18-2008 11:44 AM

I should point out that is the bonus bet I am referring to.

Actually, he told me you were doing well and about what you're doing for a living now.

Sorry though darlin'. The stories about your dad are pretty cool. He told me about the daycare donation story. I've never been a Habs fan, but that is a great story.
