Never play blackjack on the fourth of July with a British dealer
Day 3
The first thing I did was hit the blackjack tables and I promptly lost 3 doubles and splits to an English dealer named Jane. Luckily the shoes were pretty decent and I was able to eke out a decent gain.
I thenregistered to play in the 11 am MGM tourney and busted out first hand with J-J vs 2-3 clubs. He called a large raise and a large continuation bet then lectured me how you should never raise Jacks. Apparently I was stupid not to recognize his flush draw (backdoor runner runner).
I then went to Harrah’s and played in their bounty tournament. I had 80 percent of the chips and knocked out 27 people ($10 a head) when we split. I took down first prize and an invite to the year end tournament of champions so I will be back in August.
A woman was one of the last 3 and she had unbuttoned her shirt to distract the table. Hah! I was unfazed since she was had nothing on my wife Missy!
One notable incident occurred during the tournament. A dealer raked the pot after an all-in short stack survived without matching the chips. I helped figure it out and correct the problem but the other guy kept arguing. I looked him in the eye and told him there were only 2 things that were true in this world.
1 NEVER fight a land war in Asia.
2 NEVER argue math with an Asian.
