How a bad day can turn really good.. True Story
 

So yesterday morning I was bickering with my wife about some bullshit and in a lot of relationships it is always about little things and they turn into stupid arguments. So yesterday morning was one of those mornings, I am pissed off the wife is pissed off and she storms out of the house.. an hour later I text her to see where she is at and she text me back saying she is in our office. I was pissed so there was no way I was also going to our office and create an atmosphere that no one wants to be in.

So I say to myself "fuck it" and I took a short walk over to the "Green Valley" casino to play a couple of hands of poker and clear my head, I take $200 out of the ATM ( I wasn't going to play more) and i go to the poker room to get my seat. I got my seat on a $1.00 - $2.00 No Limit game. I am settling in and the dealer asks if I want a hand (I didn't have chips yet because the poker room host was getting them still) and I tell the dealer, sure go ahead.

Hands are dealt and I am right off the button, so I have good position. I look at my hole cards and I see pocket 7's. The action is on me and i bet $10.00 bucks I get 2 callers and the flop comes 6 6 Ace. I feel pretty confident but was worried about the Ace more then a 6. I figured a 6 should have been folded after a pre-flop bet. So everyone checks. The turn comes up another 7, I now made my full house, so no worries about an Ace anymore so I fire $25.00 in the pot the pot was $33.00 bucks so it was a decent size bet. I get one caller and the guy who I expect had an Ace folded, he must have thought I held a 6.
The River card comes up and I see another 7, I made quad 7's and I was feeling pretty good, I go all inn and the one player left calls me, I stand up and throw my pocket 7's open. The other player yells JACKOT and I was like .. "what?" He stands up and shows pocket 6"s... this guy slow played his quads all the way to the river and let me catch my four of a kind. He let me do all the betting and just called all the way through.

The jackpot at Green Valley was up to about $320.000 and the way they pay it out is $45.000 to the losing hand (my opponent) and $$30.000 to the winning hand (me). the rest of the money gets divided between every poker player in any of the "Station Casinos" playing at the time the Jackpot hit, that table share came out to $1208.00 per player. So I caught $31.650 including the jackpot, the table share and the pot.

I called my wife and she thought I was kidding at first so i made her come to the casino and I think we both forgot what we were fighting about.

So my day started bad but turned real nice...

Just wanted to share the story, the rush of hitting that hand is unreal, just the fact I had quad 7's made me feel so confident and no way i expected the other guy to have quad 6's.

Wow! That is fucking great bro! Now take your sexy wife out to a NICE dinner and then have some make-up sex. :pimp

You lost me as soon as you got into the poker terminology that may as well be greek and all that, but I skimmed and saw you won a shitload! :D Nice going!

Wow thats so cool for you. Its always when you least expect it. Hell I got excited when I won 360 at blackjack just fucking around.

Yeah I am the wife he was fighting with and sometimes it can turn out good. When he first called me I could not even hear him there was so much screaming going on from everyone in the poker room. I first thought he said $3,200 and I said HOW MUCH? and when he said $32,000 I almost fell off my chair. So I left the office to meet him at the casino and everyone was even congradulating me too, all the ladies in the room where telling me its time to go shopping...lol

Funny thing he did not add last time we had a small fight and he went to cool off he won like $1,000 so maybe its a pattern, we fight he wins.....LOL

I rather not fight but alll relationships have it but I am so happy for him that he won, so now we are off to do a little bit of shopping.

Congrads again baby.

very cool indeed

Shopping?.. you always want to shop damnitt.. (come on.. let's argue or something.. hehehe)

congrats, thats a nice chunk of money to win :) glad to see you are not fighting anymore either ..

so if 2 people in the same hand get 4 of a kind, it is a jackpot.. right?

nice story..

do you believe some people are more lucky than others?
personally i believe this is true but i think it is mental, all about visualization.

No shit, lol. Get some argument going. I'm sick of you leaving your socks on the floor.. now run with it ;)

Congrats !!!!!!!

LOL GFY I never shop, who went and bought a new leather coat and sports jacket yesterday???? All I saw was a check so now we must leave and go shopping :p

Correct, I actually think if you have a full house Aces full of 10's and if that gets beaten it is a Jackpot, or anything higher. The other guy really played it well because if he would have pushed all in on the turn card i would have folded my 7's but he slow played it and let me do all the betting for him. :thumbsup

when you called me to tell me the news this morning, i was so happy for you bro!

what a great start to the week, huh?

next time you play, let me know so i can epass some cash over for you to play for me too LOL

:)

So you are saying money can buy happiness? :winkwink:
j/k but really congrats on winning

hahah nice story

I'm confused, why did the losing hand win more money than you?

That is awesome!
I actually feel pretty good just hearing about it.

How much did the table tip the dealer?

Geez i wish that would happen to me

Damn! Those are some good winnings. We just went to vegas for a week and while I was shooting content my wife won some good bucks. It paid for the trip, room and allot more with a good amount of money to spare.

thast an awesome story.

Wow nice hit.

great, and he got less, because it's BAD JACKPOT :)

LMAO O Marina....it doesn't buy happiness, but not having to worry about money on top of all the other stresses in life that a couple faces, is a good hand to start with ;)

CONGRATS Sebastian and Ditto!!!!

Nice! Lunch is on you Dutchy!!!!!!!


:thumbsup

I gave the dealer a grand, the loser who won the 45 k gave him 1500 and each player on our table tipped him between 50 and 100 I think. so he had a good day too, I asked and dealers get to keep their tips they do't share it, not in the poker rooms at least.

Sebastian

that is fucking sweet..

man that is very cool congrats.

Why does the losing hand get 45k and the winning hand only get 30k?

Damn that is one lucky ass post fight victory

From what you said I think you Cheated... But then I dont know how to play..

Congrats on the big win.

congrats!!!!!!!!

Fucking awesome

it's a "bad beat" jackpot. The loser got beaten BAD. It's one of the few times you want to have the losing hand in poker.

congrats !!

Wow that's fucking AWESOME!!!

It's a bad beat jackpot so the one who get's the bad beat get's the most money ;)

great but how much have you lost each time you played before. probably broke even now.

congrats~!

Nah, this is not a game like roulette or blackjack where it's just luck. poker does need some skill. I am not a super player but I do pretty good.

If my opponent would have made a bet before the turn I would have folded and we both wouldn't have won, but he was skilled enough to let me catch up. Some people would push all in after flopping 4 of a kind.

We all know where that 31k is going to end up. Louis Vuiton bags, dresses, make-up, car, fucked up little dog and beauty treatments.
