Previous: Inside Underground NY Poker #8
Spades — 1.8
Walking into a casino, for the first time, can be quite an overwhelming experience. There’s so much going on — all of the flashing lights, various sounds, the diverse amount of people flowing throughout, the list goes on. No matter where you look, there’s always something going on that can potentially pique your curiosity. Of course, at this time in the midsummer of 2007, I hadn’t a clue of what to expect. I had yet to step foot inside a real casino.

When Chris called and invited me to go with him on a road trip up to Turning Stone, my mood was not only of excitement, it was also flowing with curiosity. I figured that making the drive up to Turning Stone would not only be a great deal of fun, but would also be an excellent opportunity to learn more about professional casino poker.

During my phone conversation with Chris, we agreed that we would make the road trip up there after we finished our Sunday shifts at Spades. This gave us about 24 hours to gather up our buddies and put together a crew. Our main goal was to crush some live action cash games there, but we also wanted to let loose and party. I didn’t yet know it, but my version of partying was vastly different from Chris’ version.

I made some calls and sent some texts, and not too long after, had a few of my closest friends confirm that they were going to come on the trip. I was the youngest of my social circle in high school, still being only 17 at the time. All of the other guys were already 18, so legally, they wouldn’t have a problem at Turning Stone.

If you don’t know, Turning Stone Resort & Casino is located on an Indian Reservation, and as such, the gambling laws of New York state do not apply there — the legal gambling age there is 18, as set by the law of the land.

Now, since I was still only 17, this presented a potential problem. However, I looked a bit older than I actually was, and I also had a fake ID that I had been using for a while. Chris was also incredibly confident that it wouldn’t be a problem whatsoever — he even offered to lay me a bet with 3 to 1 odds for $100, that at no point would I be unable play because of my age. I declined the bet of course, not wanting to jinx myself.

In 2007, Turning Stone was a “dry” casino, which meant that they didn’t serve any alcohol. However, you were allowed to bring your own, and could indulge yourself to your own desire. As of today, this is no longer the case, but that’s the way it was back then.

We calculated that the drive would take us about 4.5 hours, not entirely too long by road trip standards, but could be enough of a mental strain that could potentially effect our ability to play poker, upon arrival. Given that both Chris and I would be dealing right up until our departure, we had made arrangements to take two cars in order to accommodate our entire crew. In exchange for each of us paying for the gas and tolls on the drive up to Turning Stone, neither of us would have to drive — this would allow us to rest up a bit.

My group of buddies consisted of four of my closest friends — Brian, Theo, Max, and Scott. I had brought Theo around to Spades more than a few times, and he regularly played poker, unlike the others. However, he wasn’t very good, but he was very lucky, and he had no interest in studying the game. He got better the more he played, but was by all means, a fish. He loved to gamble, and blackjack was his favorite game — most likely not a coincidence.

I had invited Andy to tag along as well, but he wasn’t interested and declined — he instead made me a standing offer, an open invitation if you will, to go crush poker in Atlantic City, where there was better action and nicer casinos. However, the offer was only good if we would be going to seriously grind poker. This was an offer that I would later redeem.

Chris had assembled his boys just as I had — three experienced poker players and gamblers, each in their early 20’s, just like Chris. The youngest of his crew was Rich, who was 21, and the two others were Derek and Joe, either 23 or 24 years old.

Finally, our plans were set and the rooms were booked. We’d all be staying for 3 nights and 2 days in two, separate, 2 queen bed suites. I was anxious, yet excited, and I seriously wanted to book a win in the poker room, considering it would be my first casino poker room session.

Sunday finally arrives, and I had decided to wake up a few hours early so that I could stock up on booze and weed. My buddies and I had agreed to split the cost of everything — 4 bottles of Smirnoff, an ounce of Sour Diesel, and four 24-packs of Coors Light. In retrospect, this was probably entirely too much for 3 nights at a casino, but what did we know? I wasn’t a big smoker at the time, although I would partake, but I did enjoy drinking when the time was appropriate to let loose.

While on my way driving to Spades, I hear my phone ring — it’s Chris.

“Hey dude, you on your way to the club?”

“Yeah, I’ll be there in about 15 minutes. I just finished running some last minute errands, stocked up on booze and weed for the trip.”

“Awesome. I’m good to go on my end, too. By the way, my plan is to splash around in the $1/$2 or $2/$5 games Turning Stone spreads. I’m bringing $10k.”

“What?! $10k??? Why?!”

“Well, dude, I’m gonna hit the pits too and play some blackjack and craps. We’ll crush some poker first, then afterwards maybe you’ll hit the pits with me.”

“I dunno, man. I’m only gonna bring $2k in total, and that’s for all my costs. Maybe I’ll assign half of that to my poker roll for the trip.”

“You should probably stick to $1/$2 then, and save some of your roll for blackjack, to try and run it up.”

“Alright, sounds good. I’ll see you at the club in a bit.”

I wasn’t convinced about hitting the pits to play table games, but then again, I surely wanted to make the most out of my first casino experience.

I arrive at Spades, set up for the Sunday afternoon tournament, and put in the hours for my shift. I wind up dealing the final table, and the tournament ends at around 11PM. Chris was dealing cash, but we had both made sure to get Vinny’s approval to leave early and take off for the next few days. It wasn’t really an issue for me, being that once the tournament was over, it meant my job was done, and I was free to have a good night. However, Chris made sure to get another dealer to cover for him, both the rest of the night and until we got back from our trip.

Chris and I walk outside to the parking lot — it’s time to go pick everyone up. We each get into our cars and drive off to scoop up each one of our buddies. An hour or so later, I shoot Chris a text letting him know that I’m about to start the drive up to Verona, NY, which was where Turning Stone is located. He responds, telling me that he had already started the journey about 10 minutes prior, and that he’ll call me when he gets there.

I have Theo take the wheel and get into the driver’s seat, as I jump into the back to close my eyes to try and clear my head for what’s about to come. Without making any stops, we finish the drive in just under 4.5 hours. We can see the illuminated, brightly colored sign — “Turning Stone Casino”, and my heart begins to pump just a little bit faster. I’m beginning to get excited. At this point, it was around 4:30AM. Sure, I was a bit tired, but the excitement and novelty of my first casino experience was keeping my adrenaline pumping.

I give Chris a call, letting him know that we’re about to park our car, and head into the casino towards the check-in area.

“Chris, we’re here man! This place is awesome!”

“I know dude, we got here about a half hour ago. I’m in my room changing, getting ready to go play some cards. Did you check-in yet?”

“Not yet, we’re about to head over to the check-in desk and get our room keys. I’m pretty tired man, are you sure it’s a good idea to go play right now?”

“Don’t worry about that, I already scoped out the room. There’s some good action going on in both $1/$2 and $2/$5. I already put our name’s on the lists. Text me when you’re done getting settled in, but drop by room after. Make sure you come alone.”

“Okay… I’m gonna tell my boys that we’re gonna play some poker for a little bit, while they hit the casino floor. My buddy Theo might want to join us. I’m not sure though, I have to ask him. My boys will probably want to get nice and toasty before they head out of the room.”

“Sounds good dude, don’t take too long. See you in a bit.”

My friend Scott handles the check-in, puts the incidentals coverage under his credit card, and I make sure to get a copy of the room key for myself. We head up to the room, we all change into presentable, formal, evening attire, and I crack open a beer, along with everyone else. I ask everyone what they plan on doing for the next few hours, while suggesting that I’ll be preoccupied playing cards in the poker room. This was nothing but expected, they all knew how often I played poker.

Everyone unanimously agrees that they want to hit the pits and gamble, of course, after they get hammered in the room. I casually ask Theo if he’s interested in playing poker with Chris and I, but he declines, saying that he’s not in the mood and would rather play tomorrow night, if at all.

I finish my beer, but not before forcing everyone to agree to a bet, in order to make things more interesting — whoever comes back to the room as the biggest loser gets $50 each from everyone else. We unanimously decide that it’s actually a decent idea, and everyone agrees. I leave our room and head towards Chris’ suite.

I arrive at Chris’ door, and I give it quick, but firm knock. A few seconds later, the door opens, and I find that there’s nobody in the room except Chris. All of his buddies had already gone downstairs, and were gambling on the casino floor. I tell him I’m pretty tired, and then I ask him why he wanted me to come alone.

“Chris, I’m pretty tired, man. You sure we should go play?”

“100%. I told you, I already scoped out the games that are running. The stacks are big and there’s some good money to be made.”

“Alright, fine. But, why did you want me to come here alone, by the way? Is everything alright?”

“Yeah, dude. Here, I wanted to give you this. Take two of these, you’ll be in the zone while you play for the next 8 hours.”

“What kind of pills are these? What are they going to do?” — I had never really taken drugs or pills before, other than drinking and smoking weed occasionally. I did, however, try Mushrooms earlier during the summer, and that was fun, but was completely inexperienced when it came to pharmaceuticals, or any other drugs for that matter.

“It’s Adderall, it’s a stimulant. They’re 20mg each, take two of them. It’ll make you much more focused and able to concentrate on the game for the next 8 hours or so. You might feel a bit more chatty, and it’ll kill your appetite, but I promise you, it’ll give you an edge. All those players down there right now are tired and worn out from playing. These will put you in the zone, if you know what I mean.”

“Fuck it, I’ll give it a shot. We came to have a good time anyway. I’m not gonna lose control of myself, am I?”

“Hah, no, dude. It’s nothing like that. They prescribe this stuff to people who have trouble focusing and paying attention. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. You’ll feel them start to work in about 45 minutes to an hour.”

Chris hands me two, orange-colored, oval shaped pills, and I swallow them dry. I had stashed $1k into the safe in my room before I left, and I had the other $1k in my pocket. We leave his room and head downstairs to make our way through the casino and into the poker room.

I was in a state of awe. This was by far the biggest poker room I had ever been in, up until this point. There must have been at least 30 tables. There were only a handful of games going during our arrival, but still, seeing everything all neat, organized, and ready for action, made me think about what this place would be like during peak hours.

I check out the $1/$2 game that’s going, and I see that the buy-in structure is not at all what I was expecting. It’s a $50 min and $200 max. Sure, there’s a few deep stacks on the table, but I felt like this game was much smaller than what I was used to playing. I decide that it’s going to be far too difficult to make any significant amount of money, unless I end up on the good side of a cooler. Overall, it would be a bad move to sit in this game.

On the other hand, the $2/$5 game that was running had a $200 min and $500 max buy-in. This was definitely more up my alley. Several players had stacks with at least $1k, and the average was probably right around the max, conveniently right around $500. With several players sitting deep and a couple of short stacks on the table, I come to the conclusion that this is the game I want to play, as I’m fairly certain that I have a decent shot at making some money at this table.

Chris had already put our name’s on the lists for both games when he had arrived earlier, so it wasn’t too long until our names were called. We were going to be sitting at the same table, and of course, made an agreement that if we were to get heads-up in a hand, either of us would make only one bet, and then check it down the rest of the way if the other called the bet. We weren’t there to take each other’s rolls, but if there were other players in the hand, then we weren’t going to soft play each other, nor try and sandwich anyone out of a pot.

Finally, my name is called, about 20 minutes after Chris had taken his seat, and I head over to the cage to buy $500 worth of chips — $280 in red, $200 in green, and $20 in white. Something I’ve always liked doing, still to this day, is buying at least a full stack of $1 chips.

The poker room had relatively nice chips, and I found them to be most excellent. They had a comfortable weight, handled nicely, and displayed a decent aesthetic design on them. They were definitely of a higher quality than any of the chips that the underground clubs used. That’s not to say that the clubs used cheap chips — of course, a few did, however only the casinos would purchase Paulson chips, which are the industry standard, despite them costing over $1 each chip.

I take my seat at the table, and all of a sudden, I feel this intense rush of energy. It felt like someone had turned my brain up to 11. Woah — I felt my eyes widen.

I introduce myself to the table, and I notice that I’m much more talkative than my normal self. However, I was able to maintain and participate in a fully-engaged conversation, while not missing a single detail of the action that was unfolding during each hand. I could multi-task like never before. I was faster at thinking through hands, I noticed more tells being telegraphed than ever before, and I was aware of the fact that my observations were razor-sharp. It felt like I had been wearing blinders up until this point, and now they were gone.

I was more astute than I had ever been before, accurately being able to predict who was going to play a hand, and who was going to fold, before they even made their action. I was paying attention to the game in the same way I would as if I was dealing it. I’d observe each player in turn, then move on to the next when their action was made.

I would also catch things out of the corner of my eye — a player’s posture suddenly becoming erect, while they would then immediately try to look disinterested, as they used their hands to protect their cards in such a manner that was subtle, yet distinct from their normal method of handling their cards. It was blatantly obvious to me now, when a player would deviate from their normal patterns of playing, behaving, speaking, bet sizing, time usage, and so forth.

I was playing really well. All of my value bets were getting called, my bluffs were getting through, and alarm bells would ring in my head, either to alert me of a perfect spot to make a squeeze play, or if something about the hand didn’t “seem right”. Something I definitely noticed about the Adderall, was that it made me feel much more confident in the plays that I made. It was much easier to pull the trigger, and when I did, I felt certain that my timing was right.

My range was also wider than it normally was. I was playing more hands, going for thin value on the river when I would normally check back, and had no problem laying down strong hands preflop, when I was sure I was behind, but would normally be too stubborn to let it go.

My session was going very well. Incredibly well, in fact. I made several huge hero calls, and I applied intense pressure on opponents who I deemed capable of folding, only to pick up pots I could never win at showdown.

About 3.5 hours had gone by at this point, and within the last hour a new player had taken a seat. His name was Duke, at least, that’s what other players were calling him. This guy was super aggro. He was opening every other hand, raising every C-Bet a player would make, and would just bully people out of the pot by shoving the river or bombing the turn with a $300 bet.

The majority of the table was getting annoyed with Duke. Whenever they would fold, they felt like he was bluffing with air, however, when they would inevitably get frustrated and make the call, he would actually have it, and get massive value. During the course of about an hour, he amassed a stack totaling around $900. He had absolutely no fear, and the money at stake, to him, was evidently insignificant. From his perspective, it seemed as if he was playing for, what you and I, would consider pennies.

I folded quite a few strong hands to his preflop 3-bets — AQ, TT, 88, and QJs. I would open to $15 or $20, and he would re-pop me to 4x or 5x. I even open folded AKo on an Ace-high, 3-flush board on the turn when he check-raised me all-in, only to show me complete air.

That was enough for me, this wasn’t going to continue — not tonight. I had now decided that I was going to be as patient as necessary, and only get involved in a pot with him if the situation was favorable to trap him. You can’t bully a player when the money at stake means far less to him than it does to you. Subsequently, you can’t get value from that same player who is good enough to recognize that you’re only showing him aggression when you have it — they’ll just fold instead of blasting off, knowing that you’re praying that they’ll come over the top.

About an hour and a half later, it was around 10AM now, and I had built my stack up to around $1200. Duke was sitting on just about the same, though slightly less, about $1100. He was still bullying people out of pots, and the majority, if not everyone else at the table was clearly annoyed with him. Low limit players often become angry when they encounter an opponent whose style of play isn’t within the same paradigm as their own. The key is to be capable of adjusting your own style of play.

Finally, preparation meets opportunity, and I pick up pocket Aces in UTG+1. I raise to $15, and of course get 3-bet by Duke in the Lojack to $60. The button cold calls, and for a split-second, I almost 4-bet, but I resisted what almost felt like a reflex, and decided to just call.

The flop comes A5A — I flop Quad Aces! That was the first time I ever flopped quads, let alone quad aces. I stick to my game plan of trapping, and I check my quads over to Duke, who also checks. The button checks as well, and we see a turn of a black 4.

The board now being A5A4 rainbow — every fiber of my being is burning on the inside, trying to tell me to start getting some value and make a bet to build a pot. Again, I resist, and check it. Both Duke and the button check back.

The river comes in, a red 9. The complete board run-out is A5A49 rainbow.

I check, again, for the 3rd time. Duke fires out $200 into the pot of $187, the button snap folds, and I immediately snap-shove on him for a total of around $1140. He looks completely perplexed, and then goes deep into the tank. Not a single player had yet displayed this level of aggression against him.

He’s now been thinking for about 6 or 7 minutes, and he announces to the table that he’s sorry he’s taking so long, but he needs some more time and has a decision here. Some random player chimes in, telling him to take all the time he wants, it’s the biggest pot of the night.

Another 3 minutes go by, and I’m starting to get agitated now. It’s been at least 10 minutes, the dealer is clearly annoyed, enough is enough. I call for the clock. The floor comes over and gives Duke the “countdown” speech, informing him that he has 30 seconds to make a decision.

Before the floor even begins the countdown, Duke announces, “CALL”.

Under the influence of the Adderall, I assume, I inexplicably get the impulse to table my hand similar to the way a blackjack dealer would table their cards.

I pull both cards adjacent to each other, now sitting side by side. Using one finger, I flip one of the Aces face up, and then use that same Ace to slide it underneath the other, and flip up the remaining facedown Ace. I somehow managed to pull this off with such finesse, that it all happened in one, smooth, fluid motion. It was most certainly a rare form of poker showboating, and it was an incredibly cocky, and unnecessary thing to do, however I just couldn’t help myself. I had just decimated the guy who was running over every single player.

The entire table is shocked to see that I reveal flopped quad Aces. Even more surprised, is Duke. He is absolutely stunned to his core. He tables Jack high. I immediately stand up from my chair, and lean in closer towards the table, while rubbing my eyes to confirm — yes, indeed. Jack high.

“You triple checked flopped quad aces.” — the tone of his speech indicating a statement, not even close to what asking a question would sound like, as if he was in disbelief of what had just happened.

“Yes, sir.”

“I just called you with Jack high.” — again, it seemed as if he was confirming, for himself, the reality of the situation that had just occurred.

“Yeah, you did, but why?”

“I couldn’t put you on a hand, and I thought that you had finally had enough of me pushing you out of pots. It didn’t make sense, how could you have anything there when you checked the whole way?”

“I took a risk, and I just figured that you would eventually try and steal it.”

“I’m not even mad, kid. Well played, very clever. I salute you.”

The dealer ships me Duke’s entire stack, plus the pot, and I toss him two green birds. I quickly start to stack all of the chips while I fold the next hand, and then I get up from the table, as does Chris.

“Dude! What a sick fucking play! What in the fuck! Triple checking quad aces?!!?!?”

“I know, right? I was waiting all night for that moment. I got stupid lucky that he called. I have no idea why he called me with Jack high. I mean, I heard what he said, but still, why? How?”

“You figured him out, dude. Plain and simple. Really nice play, I’m impressed. I don’t think I could ever have triple checked that.”

“Thanks, Chris. I think it was just the Adderall. I just felt like I absolutely knew that he was going to do exactly the same thing that he has been doing all night. Whenever he senses weakness, he bombs the river. I wasn’t expecting him at all to call my shove, but I knew that if I bet into two players while out of position, on an ace-paired board, after calling a 4x 3-bet from Duke with the button cold calling, they would both fold.”

“That actually makes a lot of sense. Great play, dude. Seriously, that was just sick. Let’s get out of here and see what the other guys are up to.”

Chris and I cash out, and we leave the poker room. I ran $500 up to about $2300. Chris booked a nice win himself, running $500 up to $1.1k. We both tipped the cashier behind the cage $10 each.

The two of us are still wired from the Adderall, but now only physically stimulated, and not at all under the influence whatsoever. Sleeping is not going to be an option, so we decide to head back to my room, and get to work on polishing off a few beers.

I insert the keycard into my room’s key slot, and slowly open the door, as I hear a circus of ruckus coming from inside the room.

All of the guys are inside — Theo, Brian, Max, Scott, Rich, Derek, and Joe — they’d gone through two bottles of Smirnoff, a bottle of Jameson that Rich had brought over, a 24-pack of Coors Light, a ton of the weed, and had now moved on to blow, which one of Chris’ buddies had scored from someone in the casino.

As far as I knew, none of my friends had ever done coke before. I certainly hadn’t. Everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves, though, and who was I to judge? I had just played an intensely long poker session on some drug I had never heard of before, I won a bunch of money, all was good, and so I just went with the flow and chalked it up to an isolated incident on a vacation-like casino trip.

I asked my boys who had lost the most money, both as a way to settle the bet, and to make a subtle brag about how much I had won playing poker. I wasn’t surprised at all — Brian was the biggest loser, totaling a net loss of a measly, yet exact, $100.

He was by far the cheapest person out of all of my friends. He would always argue down to the penny when it came to splitting checks, or getting reimbursed for fronting money for a purchase. Indeed, he sure was cheap, but he wasn’t at all stupid. He made sure that the other 3 guys — Theo, Max, and Scott — lost less than he did so that he could come out ahead on the bet. Of course, he took a gamble by not knowing the status of my winnings, but the worst that could happen was that he would either lose $100 or book a win taking a gamble with it. The 4 of us each paid up, $50 each, and he offset his $100 loss with a $200 gain, for a net profit of $100.

We all continued to drink, I tried a few lines myself, and everyone stayed up until the upcoming evening — it was now time to go gamble again. So, what did we do? We drank even more, smoked a blunt, and finished off the 8-ball of blow.

The 9 of us were thoroughly bombed. Any and all traces of our decision making skills were completely distorted.

Joe was playing $100 flips with Derek — they would cut a deck of cards and whoever cut to the higher card would win. Rich was playing beer pong with Scott for $50 a match, Theo, Max, and Brian were playing $20 rolls of C-Lo with dice that they had bought from the gift shop, and Chris and I were having a pipe dream discussion about how much we were going to win playing blackjack in the next hour.

About 30 minutes later, all of us, while undoubtedly lacking full consciousness, head down to the casino floor and make our way into the pits.

This time, I brought my entire roll, and so did Chris.

The first thing we did was stagger over to a roulette table, only to sloppily introduce ourselves to the dealer.

“Hey sweetheart, listen, we need your help. Black or red?”

“Are you trying to ask me whether I think you should bet on black or red?”

“Ya, of course. You know how you’ve been spinning that ball. Black or red? Which are you feeling?”

Chris and I both take out our rolls and count out $1,000 each.

“Whatever you pick, sweetheart. If we win, you get 10%. If we lose, you think you could get us a comp for 9 to the Wildflowers restaurant?”

“Put it on black, boys. How about we just concentrate on winning for the time being?”

“Let’s do it! $2,000 on black!”

With a quick flick of her forefinger, the dealer launches the tiny ball into motion, and it begins to spin around and around the track of the roulette wheel. The dealer waves her hand over the table to close the action.

“No more bets!”

The Queen of Clubs

I
Miller was sitting in a chair by himself, off in a corner of the poker room, head bent and eyes riveted to the pages of a book. Probably Zen or a gambling story, thought Toby. He peeked down at his two hole cards, a 7 and a 4. He folded and said to the dealer “meal chip” and got up and walked to the bar. He glanced at Miller but only for so long, Miller was so ugly that it was impossible to look directly at him for more than a few seconds. “Maybe that's it,” Toby reflected, “maybe his appearance is why it seems there is a shield around him. It’s impossible to approach him let alone have a conversation.” Miller’s age was impossible to determine, but it was generally acknowledged that he was twenty years younger than he looked.
Toby would have been happy to forget about Miller but the rumor going around was that Miller knew something that everyone in the poker room wanted to know, specifically, how did Miller always end up winning against the most fearsome and avoided poker player in Cook County, Mick Poodles. Poodles always had it, and when he didn’t he made you believe he did. He was impossible to read and sometimes it was felt that he could see through your cards and into your soul. “Soul Reading” it was called, but Toby didn’t believe in black magic or voodoo or soul reading. God dammit, Mick had a scheme going but nobody knew what it was and now here was Miller, making one of his sporadic appearances in the card room. Klein Perkins walked into the bar at that moment and touched Toby on the shoulder. “Tonight is gonna be special, Miller, that ugly fuck, see him, he’s over there in the corner, he’s waiting to get into the $25/50 No Limit game, and Poodles is sitting in it.” Klein pointed to the upper tier of the room, and Toby nodded. “I reckon Poodles has had just about enough of Miller, tonight is the night Miller gets his ass handed to him.”
Miller, contrary to the opinion’s of the poker room fellows, had a wider book range than was expected. He was reading Down and Out in Paris and London for inspiration, in order to keep things within the vision of his gratitude. For as much as it would appear that Miller had little to be grateful for, he always thought himself lucky, favored by fortune. He would look in the mirror when shaving and avert his eyes after a few seconds and even this daily ritual of being horrified by his own reflection did little to dampen his view that life, most likely a little hell hole that got separated from a bigger hell hole, had moments, certainly rare, but for that all the more special, when all of the disparate things in a scene came together with every object resonating to every other object, moving forward according to some grand, good plan. But now Miller became confused because even though he felt blessed to have such far flung notions, it always seemed that just as he was about to have an insight, something that would cause his life to change, the thought would pop like a soap bubble and could no longer be examined with precision, just some lumpy memory that would remain buried in his mind until 10 years later when he would be standing on a sidewalk in some dirty city and the soap bubble would re-incarnate and he would smile at its unforgotten idea and how a moment in the present connected with a moment in the past had revived it.
Miller stood up and placed his book into his bag, collected his coat and his chips, and walked to the upper tier and sat down at the $25/50 no limit game, placing all of the money he possessed upon the green felt.
II
Miller did not say anything. Nobody said anything to him. He tossed his player’s card to the dealer and stacked the chips in neat small rows. Some players liked one big stack going up 12 inches and higher, but Miller, as if acknowledging his place in the pecking order of things, would make sure his never went higher than 6 inches. His heart beat quicker when the first two cards were dealt, every time he sat down at a card table it was like having an appointment with God and God spoke to him, Miller, through the cards. Miller became confused again because he was unsure how he was supposed to talk with God, it was a one way channel, Miller got the cards from God and then Miller could do with them as he wished. Miller wondered if he was insane because when he won at cards he felt like the favored son, but if he lost it was like having his mother sucker punch him. Miller didn’t wear sunglasses because he knew nobody could look at his face for more than a few seconds, and after having folded his first hand, JJ, pre, in an unopened pot, he smiled inwardly because he knew only the insane played the first hand of a session.
III
Of course Miller won that night, just like he did all of the other nights. Toby and Klein had kept an eye on the table, on Poodles, and as much as they could of Miller. Little by little Miller ran the table into the ground, even Poodles lost. Miller’s style was, well, Miller as far as they could tell, didn’t have a style, he had the capacity to sit for 10 hours and play 1 hand or 100. He had all the characteristics of a fish, he played the cards and not the man. You could read him like one of his zen books, he played like the old man he was. “Fish on a Heater” was here applicable, but how long would it last?
Miller knew what people were calling him and it always offended him when he thought of the phrase, that it would be applied to him. “I can see the truth through three feet of mud” he thought, “that’s why I win, and surely that is a skill not everyone possesses,” and “I got your fish on a heater hanging, buddy”, and “jam it”, were a few of the offended thoughts that would come to his defense. Then he would get confused and think of more pleasant things, such as the hand from three sessions ago when he bluffed Poodles. He hated playing against Poodles, because Poodles was almost as crazy as he was. “The only player that beats you is the one that can let go of his last cent easier than you.” Miller smiled and did not get confused. Poodles was catching up to him, and the more Miller won the louder the approaching feet of fear became. For Miller, cards was not a hobby or a pastime, it was the ultimate test of character and fate – did mother, father, God, Buddha, Jesus, love him or not? Was the universe really just a series of acts that could be mathematically calculated, or could there be moments when the numbers could be skewed in favor of the miraculous?
Miller had nothing better to think about, he was too ugly, old, and poor to have a woman or a family to occupy his time and thoughts. Probably for the better. He was long past those stormy clouds of his youth when he believed a girl, because she possessed the most fantastically impossible beauty, was pure and innocent, saintly, would enhance and make his life shine. The problem, he thought, was when the saint walked away and I was left alone and it was like going from a room brightened by a summer sun into a cellar, damp, dark, and cold. The soap bubble popped and he sighed.
He decided to count his money and discovered that he won $4528. He had placed on the card table $47,486 and now he possessed over $50k. He had started with $500 and placed it all on a $2/5 table. Since that time he had not suffered a single losing session. He patted himself on the back and told himself that even though he had lost many soap bubbles over the years, sometimes one can float just long enough to make a difference.
An image of Poodles flashed into Miller’s mind and he went back to thinking about the bluff. He had 6 8 off suit and he must have been suffering from winner’s tilt because Poodles raised from the cutoff and he looked at the 6 8 in the small blind and called. He knew the moment he called that he was willfully walking into a mine field. The flop came J 8 5. Miller checked, and true to form Poodles bet a healthy sized continuation bet. Miller knew that Poodles would have a wide range from the cut off. Folding felt wrong, which meant the truth was closer to him having the best hand. He called. The flop was a 4. Miller checked and without much hesitation Poodles bet the size of the pot. Miller’s heart began to beat violently, it was as if Poodles had challenged him to a duel and Miller now had to decide if a pair of eights was worth dying for. Cards were easy if you knew the truth, and Miller was having a hard time determining if Poodles was telling the truth. If Parks was betting this amount on the turn Miller would know he was beat, but this was Poodles, fucking Poodles. He called. The river came a 10. Miller had once showed down quads and Johnson, the player he beat, said, “wow, I thought you were bluffing.” Poodles was sitting in the game and looked at Johnson and said “he never bluffs.” For an instant Miller felt deeply insulted, but determined that if Poodles really thought this he could use this to his advantage in a future session. It occurred to Miller that Poodles had simply wanted to insult him, and he most likely knew that he bluffed sometimes, or at least, rarely. Thinking about the insult and the table waiting for him to do something, Miller became confused and was now uncertain if Poodles thought him capable of bluffing. “Hell, if I go all in I could have the best hand, Poodles doesn’t have shit.” A few seconds later Miller thought poodles might have something, something better than eights. “All In,” Miller told the dealer.
Of course the bluff worked. Miller thought of Gordon Gecko and how selling real estate at a profit was better than sex. Miller, though ugly, was no virgin. “Bluffing Poodles is better than Sex.” He looked at the money on the table, over $50k. For someone like Miller, money was something hard to come by, and to have enough to last him 3 years, for he lived just as austerely as a Franciscan monk, made him feel a sense of exhilaration and freedom. However, he was not through with card playing just yet.
IV
Ten years ago when Miller traveled for the first time, it took him 3 years to return home via Bangkok and Las Vegas. It was the longest drink of freedom he had experienced and it made it that much harder to return to the world of work. Miller discovered early on that he was fit for nothing, and eventually the image dawned on him of a man living a useless life. He prepared himself for an early demise, one which he was still impatiently waiting for. He had relied upon his youth to land him the basest of work, but now that he was well past that his chances of finding employment were slimming in contrast to the expansion of his waist line.
Out of prospects and having little interest in work he decided to let the cards decide his fate. When his bank account dipped to $500 he took the bus to the nearest casino and placed all of it on the table. He did not know the details of what his actions were supposed to produce, but he figured he was either going home with a profit or going to the grave broke. He recalled telling an ex girl friend that if someone is contemplating suicide what needs to be done is a single drastic action. If the drastic action does not kill its hero, he will have changed so drastically from the experience that suicide will have long been forgotten. Miller’s drastic action was to risk his life on the turn of a card. Old and feeling unwanted, it was his last chance to get enough money for a return to the East and freedom.
And now he couldn’t lose. He did not know if it was dumb luck or if his determination to stare down the queen of clubs on the river was bringing him some kind of higher power, up there kind of luck. The problem he now faced was when to quit. When was enough enough? He had never had $50,000, surely that was enough for Miller? It occurred to him that with each passing session the risk of losing all of his cash was becoming more and more unpleasant. Losing $500 sounds easier to bear than losing $50,000, but in the end they both ended up in the same dead end skid row gutter.
And so he continued returning to the casino, once every two weeks, and tonight’s session will be his 24th , and, Miller decided, final one. He had accumulated $178,000 and as he sat down to take his seat in the upper tier, he placed all of it in neat 6 inch columns of chips. He recognized some of the faces, and of course Poodle was sitting in the 2 seat, and he watched him adding on to his stack. “Poodle’s coming after me, I feel it,” Miller thought, and his heart began to beat faster, beads of sweat forming on his furrowed forehead. Toby and Klein and a few others began to talk in low tones about something being in the air tonight, one of them, Poodles or Miller, were going to get gutted.
A few hours passed and Miller was quieter than usual, he rarely spoke but tonight his eyes seemed to be wandering to places other than the card table. Perhaps he was recollecting his childhood and youth, the girls he had known, the sorrows of his life, when he looked down and saw two red aces. He raised from the cut off and Poodles 3 bet him from the button. “This is it,” Miller thought, “the defining hand of my life. I understand who Poodles is now, he’s the final challenge to overcome, the colossus, the shark, dragon, and tiger, and here I am with a sling shot, exposed, but ready to stare him down on the river.”
It folded to Miller and he decided to just call. Out of position, his appearance of timidity, if he was going to win it was going to have to be by trickery, he knew Poodles was the stronger one. “I’m calling the dog down no matter what, this is the hand, Miller, take it to the river and take the outcome like a man.” The flop fell A 10 2, all clubs.
Miller checked. Poodles hesitated for just a moment and Miller picked up on it, something was not right, he thought, and Poodles does a continuation bet for twice the size of the pot. “He’s trying to push me off my hand. His aggressiveness is unforgiving!” lamented Miller. A crowd had gathered around the table, everyone could sense something big was happening. Miller called.
The turn brought the A of spades. A flood of chemicals filled Miller’s blood, it felt as if he had just had the biggest orgasm of his life, all of the tension that had been rising inside of him for the past few hours was now released in a flush of lavender scented bliss. He stopped thinking about what Poodles could have. He did it, Miller, the loser for life, had asked the cards to determine his fate and it had given him four big fat Aces! Miller felt loved as he said in a soft, timid voice, “check.”
Poodles must have the flush, Miller guessed, because Poodles fired a pot sized bet. There was almost $85,000 in the pot. A strange emotion came over Miller, he felt something like compassion for Poodles and decided to give him a chance to not lose his entire stack. Miller sat silent for a full minute, and then squeaked “all in,” and he began to push his chips over the line. Poodles looked irritated and said “just throw a chip in, you don’t need to push it all in there.” Miller kept pushing because he felt comfortable returning an insult with an insult of silence and non-compliance.
“Really, Miller? All of your money in on one hand. God damn. You know what, I’m tired of this shit, lets get it over with.” Miller watched as Poodles flipped in a single chip and said “CALL!” Miller had the habit of turning over his cards before the run out was complete and he flipped over AA and the crowd of men all began gesticulating and talking loudly. Someone shouted “Poodles has the royal!” and a big man with a red ball cap laughed and said “there’s no royal out there, dude.” The river was the jack of clubs. The room went silent, all eyes on Poodles and his two blind cards. Miller looked over at him. He knew, then, that you can’t become what you're not. Miller was a loser, and always would be. “Why didn’t I stop playing one session before this one. God, oh God….”
It felt like what death would be, everything fading into shadowed ghosts, like a curtain closing over Miller’s bloodshot eyes. A thundering mass of voices rose at once when Poodles turned over the king of clubs. He looked over at Miller and saw that Miller was red as a tomato and gazing into the rail. Without waiting he turned over the queen of clubs and the room erupted into cheers. Poodles had beat Miller, just as it should be. Miller stood up, watching his $178,000 being pushed away. Was it any different than had he lost $500 in his first session? Both equaled zero, but feeling rejected by God and standing alone in the middle of a circle of men had to be just about the worst feeling he had ever felt. He picked up his jacket and bag and turning around to leave he found Poodles standing in front of him, smiling. “Way to go, Miller, Nice hand.” Miller looked into Poodles eyes and nodded. Everyone was patting Miller on the back and extending their hands towards him. A floor man appeared and said in a loud voice “Poodles, it looks like you get the bitch end of the jackpot.” Miller’s eyes opened wide and his heart almost stopped and now he recalled the bad beat jackpot. He played so infrequently that he never thought it possible to win such a long shot. He was handed a slip of paper with the amount of his bonus winnings written on it. It was more than he had lost, by a lot. Miller smiled. His life still felt useless, but at that moment the universe was opening its arms to him. He had been slayed by the dragon and had not died. What he was going to do with his winnings he did not know, and he became confused. He had never before been so happy by the arrival of confusion.
TL;DR: just another shit post
