Casino "YESSSS" Moment:
Watched "Run Lola Run", then went to the casino.....
Headed to Roulette, stacked a big castle of chips on every edge/corner/piece of Black 20....
Proceed to look up at big screen while Seahawks were losing in snow to GB (getting mad at Holmgren in my mind), drift off into another thought about a baseball game I once went to....
Dealer yells, "Black 20!"
lol
I yelled a lot more than he did after I realized what was going on....
--------------
Life "YESSSS" Moment:
Went to Ibiza, Spain backpacking. Met a guy who was godfather of the island, and lent him my phonecard before he had revealed himself....Hours later, he took me to the biggest club in the world, Privilege. We walked into VIP @ 2:30 in the morning, straight past a 4 hour line still to get in. He proceeded to introduce me to all kinds of European heavyweights (whom I have no idea who they were). Drank all morning, and partied until the Sun came up/beyond. Then took a break for an hour to head to beach. After laying out for a while, went to Club Space (the throughout the day club). Partied on the cabana all day long....Stayed with this guy for another 2 weeks getting into all the clubs and not paying one thing....VIP the whole way.
Awesome....

20 minute roll on the craps table, playing by myself. Started with $535 across, playing full press and collect. That was fun.

I don't play slots very often, but one night I went up to the local casino (Michigan) to play poker. There were no good games going, and I wasn't ready to leave, so sat down at a nickel slot. Hit the bonus right away for $100+ with only $10 in. So I cashed and saw another one that looked interesting. I hit the bonus my first spin, and it paid a "jackpot", spitting out a ticket for almost $500, but left my original money in. So I kept playing. I hit that thing for almost two hours, and my original $10 turned into over $3000, all in tickets under $500, so no taxes. I left at that point, not sure if it would have kept paying or not.

<html> I'm not sure if poker stories count.....
Was in a 2/5nl game and had about 1k. I make a bet early to act preflop with 10-10. Two callers. Flop comes 10-8-7. I bet out 30-40. Both callers had me covered. First guy calls, 2nd reraises, I shove. They both call. They both flopped straights. But then a magic 7 comes giving me a boat and about 3k.
Was nearly blacked out drunk playing in vegas my first time. I'm in the big blind and look at my cards quickly thinking I had Q5. Flop comes x55. Ended up calling this asian lady down for almost 800 dollars. Flip over my cards and to my horror I see Q4. I think I made the most noobiest mistake ever in the history of the Rio poker room. But the asian lady just says" fuck you" and mucks her cards. The Q high was good. <html/> -

I met a few ffriends from highschool in vegas about 8 years ago. We were all about 21-23 and just had finished with college/partying and looking to head out into the real world. We had planned to go out to the country bar at the Frontier, we would rather pay $20 cover for all the draft beer you can drink and look at cowgirls than just about anything at the time. So we headed to the casino bar to get started with some video poker (for free drinks obv). There was a black jack table right behind the bar it was a $5 min table. I sat down with a $100 and after about 15 mins it was gone and I had bet my last $25 chip to see the dealer roll over a 4 and a 7 with her 6 showing. OBV i had to double down so i peel another c-note out and play. So ironic i hit a 3 and the dealer pulls a 20 so I lose. Keep in mind I have about 7 buddies behind me that are just giving it to me. So i bet the remaining $75 and hit so i let it ride and hit agian. Now I have $300 so I obv pump fake all my buddies and act like im letting it ride again but to no avail they give it to me even harder than before. SO I let it ride and hit again. Now at $600 after contemplating for about 8 seconds i let it ride again, however the dealer says im sorry sir but the table max is $500. Keep in mind I am playing at a full table where it is obv no one has a clue how to play BJ and are all betting $5 mins. I rolled my original $200 into $3500 in about 45 mins.
Long story short we party'd most the night with Kenny G at the gohst bar overlooking the Las Vegas strip(never made it to the Frontier) and I woke up with one single $100 bill in my pocket the next day and every single one of us were hung over for about 2 days!! -

While going to UA in Tuscaloosa, summer after my Junior year I was interning in commercial real estate in my hometown was playing online poker everynight with a tiny bankroll <200$. Won an $11 entry in to the $350 Main Event satellite. Was absolutely planning on selling it and getting like $300. Went to Tuscaloosa partied all weekend and was over at my buddies house and I decided to check how many entrants were in the $350. 2 minutes left til start and there are over 8000 players. He starts ragging me to play it and I decide to give in. So we get rolling and I survive and survive and survive until we get down to about 250 players with 234 getting in the ME. The blinds pass me and we are down to about 242. I will not have enough to pay both of the blinds when they get back around. So Ive got about 15-20 tables pulled up and as the blinds approach people are getting knocked out here and there. 240....239...236 and as I am in the BB with 18k chips and a BB of 16k there are exaclty 235 players remaining. One guy on another table is all in with J4 vs Q6 or some trash. Two guys call my BB and I flop 2 pair. They both put me in and as I am deciding whether or not I should go witht the hand I am trying to watch the other guy and I time out. One of the guys at my table had a higher 2 pair and the J4 loses to Q high and I am in the Main Event!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fast forward a few weeks later and me and my dad head to Vegas. Never played a live tourney over $200 bucks but Im freerolling. Decide to be tight and sit nervously for about an hour before realizing I am as good as all of the guys Im playing with. Survive day one think I tripled up my stack and on Day 2 I am playing at Jeff Lisandro's table. Survive day 2 and then on Day 3 I draw directly to Jeff's right LOL. Make it into the money and my run continues.
Day 4 uneventful
Day 5 as we are down to about 100 players left I am the youngest person remaining at 21 and 3 months. Raise utg with 10 10 and Willem Thorsson repops me. I go with it and ship(history with him) and he calls me WITH 99!!. He turns a flush draw but I fade it.
Day 6 guaranteed quarter million going in. Pick up QQ on the button put in a raise to look like Im stealing to 50k SB makes it 200k BB goes for the resteal all in for 1.4 million. I call his south american bluffing ass with my Queens and he shows A4. 2 guys at the table admit they folded an ace so I have to dodge 1 out. I hold up and now Im sitting with 3 million chips with 87 million in play.
Look down at AK guy to my right raises I smell weakness reraise him to get him to shove, He does I instacall and he flips AQ. Q on the flop for the 1.5 million in the pot. DOwn to 2.2 million look down at 87 cc in the BB.
Einhorn makes it 160k and thorsson calls I smooth call the 120k raise. Flop 5c Qs 9c. CHECK. EInhorn bets 400k Thorson reraises to 1.1 Million, I ship the 2.2 million with the draw (knew thorson was weak) Einhorn calls with AQ, Thorson calls with KJss.
Turn Ah River As. GG me
11$ into $329,700. 29000% return on investment. -

was back in Michigan last month and went to Motor City with my parents and my dads friend. They frequent the detroit casinos and my dads buddy usually plays in the players club. They go in and he puts a 100 on 0 it hits for 3500. Next roll 160 on 00 and it hits for 5600. They leave the room get some drinks for everyone and find me in the poker room. I get 2 black chips (freeroll on my buy-in so that gets a yessss from me), and they go back around. A few hrs later i get a call they are getting ready to leave, so i cash out my ~500 pure profit, and go find them. They are in the players club and my dads buddy has been on a tear in there, betting purples on numbers and htting and shit. By the time we left he was up over 35k playing just roullette, just such sickness....
I go back to Michigan two weeks ago for the final four and we all hit up motor again. His same friend again goes to play players club roulette and ends up making over 10k on this night, again just pounding the zereos with black chips.. I told it must be my good luck i bring him and I got another few black chips for it...it pays when family friends run goot at the gambling -
In Vegas with a buddy and we both put $20 into a slot machine and hit it for $400. Decide to take the $400 and put it all on the pass line, guy comes out and rolls an 11. $800 now and on our way to roulette, all of it on red and it hits and we now have $1600. Go and put $1600 on one hand of blackjack, we get dealt a a blackjack but the dealer has an ace showing. We take even money and now have $3200. My buddy wants to keep going, but I decide it is a nice ROI from $20 to $1600 in about a half hour. We quit and now have a good story to tell.
