a bad blow.

i had $400 bucks out on a blackjack hand (i was climbing the ladder) and was dealt a pair of 6's vs a dealer 3.

i split and end with 16 on one and get another 6 on the other. i split again and got a 3 on one and another 6 on the other. i doubled on the 9 total and get a 5 to end with 14. i split the 6's again and get a 4 and then another 6! i double on the 10 total and end with 15. i hit the 6 and end with 13. so i have 4 hands out with a double on two of them for a total of $2,400. the dealer flips 2, 5 (shit!), 2 (yea!) and then a 9!!!! a freakin 21!!!! i lose it all!!!! this was a bad blow that sent me reeling for about 24 hours before i was able to come back all the way and more.

 

don't forget about billy!

billy is a plumber from kansas who was playing in the same crap game as i was (the same game as the story from yesterday).

before i got to the table, billy apparently had harrassed the waitress a little bit and she wouldn't come near him to serve him any more. so she would take orders and as she would walk away, billy would shout out at her "don't forget about billy!", but she wouldn't get him any more and he would have to run up to the bar to get his own drinks. after about an hour of this it began to get picked up by others at the table, whenever she would take orders and walk away, more and more people would yell out "don't forget about billy!". eventually it got to the point where she was getting pretty pissed off and as she took orders once again and began to walk away, everyone at the table called out in one voice "don't forget about billy!", she turned around and said "fuck billy and fuck all of you!!!", causing all the table and pitt to break out in laughter, which got her even madder and she stormed off, never to be seen again that night.
