Left Handed Luck....

"Do you have a problem?" --- Seat number 4







This is at a poker table. Everyone vs. the Dealer, dude comes and sits down talking all kinds of shit. All of us been there over a good 45 minutes...3 drinks in and on a first name basis. Good thing we all like the Sox....knucklehead sits down and begins this "how I won this and that and then blew it all type of story" I notice the dealer is more into his story of losing because the cards get to all of us alot slower. This pisses me off, as my drink becomes stronger and our convo has died out because somebody who didn't quite get the memo that this was a 'happy' table.....typical response would be to ask the dealer to speed up....he does, and the cooler comes out talking some more just taking away from the whole game......I'm up on chips so I grin and bear it....he's losing so I'm kinda enjoying it....when I catch a bonus, he looks at me with disgust as I'm slapping 5's with elderly ladies who can't get enough of the 'brotha' with a cute smile....

his look is what prompts me to ask the question you see above....

"Well, you too much into the game, why don't you just learn to chill out and leave the circus for the hood..."

................................wait.............................what?

I had to finish my drink to actually say that. Even the ladies had to shake their head on that one. "He's such a nice man, and a gentleman...he's just smiling at this moron.....cool too." I looked at him without my glasses. Makes it more easier to read my eyes as if to say not today or tomorrow, but you repeat that then right here, right now." He took his cards, studied them, dealer gives me a look that says "don't". I look up at the cameras so they can see my face....I get my cards....

pocket aces....

$10 bonus bet...at 30-1....

$300 just for keeping my temper....

and a life got saved in the process....

How's that for Left handed Luck????
