Default Re: Post your best hammered casino poker story here

At Casino Arizona a few years back when poker was at the Mckellips Road location.

I show up to play 15-30 stud and sit in the 4 seat. The man in the 5 seat is a total stranger and he has a humongous pile of chips in front of him. He's holding a whiskey glass in one hand. He doesn't know the word "fold" only "bet" and "raise" and he's winning every hand. No one with any cards at all will fold to him. Every time the waitress comes over he orders a double scotch. Finally his pile of chips starts to dwindle. When he gets down to "only" 4 racks of chips he reaches into his back pocket and brings out a sheet of paper. I'm sitting right next to him so I can see that on the top it says "Tucson Gamblers Anonymous" and it has a list of names and phone numbers. He makes a few calls. Then he turns the sheet over and on the top it says "Tucson Alcoholics Anonymous" and he makes a few calls from that list also. If it wasn't so sad I'd have laughed hysterically. Well, his luck turned around again and he started back to winning every pot and his mountain of chips was growing again when his cell phone started to ring. He didn't seem to notice so I mentioned to him that his phone was ringing and he said "I don't want to talk to those (insert your own sure to be deleted expletives here). After a while he tried to order another drink but he literally could not speak. I told the waitress that he wanted a double scotch, the same that she'd been bringing him for the past few hours. That's when she woke up. The policy at Casino Arizona is to ask you to leave when you are drunk. They will force you to leave if you don't go nicely. I saw them getting ready to do just that and was worried about what would happen. They offer a cab to the drunks but Tucson is a 2 hours drive south on I-17. I went up to the manager who was handling the situation and told him that the guy was from Tucson and that to make him leave might be just like murder in this case and they let this guy stay (no more drinks) until he sobered up. And, yes, he still ran lucky.
