    I love playing live. You never know what the hell is going to happen next. I was playing at the Wynn tonight, I had just bought in for $2000 in the 5-10 game (no max buy-in at the Wynn).

    We were playing four handed for about 10 minutes when this Chinese woman comes and sits down with two men behind her dressed in suits and offering advice. She had an insanely sick watch and bracelet on and she bought in for about $4000. She sat down and started yelling some crazy shit in Chinese while her two assistants tried to help her. First hand she throws a stack of $100 into the middle as a blind bet. Everyone looks around like is this even legal, but the dealer lets it play, like they know she is a high roller and gets what she wants. I take a flop for $100 and miss, she bets $500 into the first flop. Soon a guy doubles his $600 after flopping top set of bullets to her and just letting her bet. However, the guy has to move as it is a "must move" table meaning you either have to go to the main 10-handed 5-10 game or cash out. The dude moves, and now the Chinese woman is betting $220 in the dark every hand. She just liked throwing the chips out there. Her two friends behind her said it was her first time playing, they tried to offer help on her hands but she would just start yelling at them and they would back off. One dude moved all-in pre for $1,000 with K-J into her $100 blind, and she called with A-4 and won. Anyways, she continued to bet $220 in the dark every hand, and throw $500 into every single flop. Every hand no matter what. I was stuck $1200 real quick before ending up $1k. She ended up pissing her 4k away pretty quick, but it was quite a sight at the table. The other guys were calling their friends to tell them about the game, I called my boy and told him to bring me 2k more from the bankroll and, and some 40 year old dude tried to throw a fit and say I was before him on the move list. The woman ended up losing her last $2000 or so when she folded a river straight after hitting runner-runner miracle to top pair (she pushed her hand to the muck while screaming some crazy profanity). Her one chum tried to pull her hand out before it was too late, but the floor ruled it a muck. This all happened within 20-25 minutes.

    I wonder if its the same woman I saw in AC she was all by herself at the baccarat table with two guys just like you described. Just standing there behind her like body guards or something.

    Yeah, I know who she is, and you really don't want to know.
    Just take her money.

    She has a daily allowance of about $20k to lose at the tables... and she does.

    What I think is most incredible is that we were able to ascertain her identity without even having to call in N 8.

    Mike-

    OBV my story can't beat yours, but if you thought the 5-10 game was easy, you should try the wynn's 10-25 nl. Last night gbmantis and I desided to sit in this game, and I loved it. I played or just under 5 hours, and bought in with 4k. Min buy-in was 2k, and most people had between 2k and 5k. i won just under 5k, I never had AA or KK, never lopped a set, made a straight or a flush the entire evening. At one point, this "tourist guy" sat down with the minimum, 2k. It was like something straight rom rounders, the guy didn't have a shot. He would limp or 25 with just about ace or 2 ace cards, I would make it 125 and hed see a flop. Id bet 250-300 on the flop, which he would call and then check/fold to my 400-500 on the turn. Mantis picked up on what I was doing and starting re-popping me that cock sucker. LOL. In all there were 2 good players that played the whole time we were in the game, and one other good player who came later. I ended up winning just under 5k, and definitely suggest you play this game if it is reasonable for ya.

    Even the regulars suck. This guy got so pissed because he thought another guy was all in and didn't see the $600 behind and started to beg him to give him a reduced price. To no avail, he was slowing down the game and I was barely interested. He actually told the woman next to me to STFU. I said, lets play and he says "you stay out of it", so I call the floor and the kid has his money and dude is on stone cold tilt. I try to bust him with an inside straight and a flush draw but it was pretty clear he flopped huge. On the river I make nothing and check, he bets, while he is betting he is shaking so bad that he knocks over his chips. I fold saying "nice set of 9's, you can quit shaking now". There is no question that we are in the wrong business with online poker, there are soooooooooooo many bad live players.

    He shows me the set of 9's.

    I liked the comment about the '40 year old dude'. Did that mean the dude is senile and simply shouldn't even be playing poker and should get his old ass back to the rest home ?

    Typical of the bigoted comments that some throw around here, without really realizing it. Not doing it in some malicious, evil way. They just don't realize that every poker player is not some Abercombie and Bitch guy.
