It's been a while since I've been up to the Muck to play. Is that Japanese lady still there? She's around 40ish, 50 maybe. They were all a friendly bunch and the comps/food are just fantastic.

There are a few older japaneese ladies. If you are thinking of the same one I am, ya, she still plays. But she is ancient. Probably in her 70s. Remember that asian women age much better than white chicks, so add 10-20 years to however old you may think they are. The one I am thinking of has a rinestone encrusted frog for a card cover and tottaly sucks azz as a player. She primarily plays 10-20 I think.

As for them being a nice bunch....Ya, sure, when they are winning. But when they are losing, they are the biggest bunch of cry babies I have ever met in my life. You'd think that they had never played poker before with how often they whine about crap, throw cards, complain the dealer is giving them bad cards, complain about the luck of their seat, ask for new setups, etc.

I was playing with one woman last night who I think actually may have been crazy. She was probably in her 70s. She was muttering all kinds of nasty chit about people, calling them arrogant fuks etc. She is either semi-wealthly or likes to pass her self off that way. When some dude on my right left she said, "He didn't belong here. Just look at him." Called his gf trash and muttered something about her outgrown roots. The funniest thing she said was that she likes 30/60 better because "at this game" (meaning 20/40) "there isn't enough money in the blinds to make playing her cards worthwhile.".. lol.

When I took her final chips from her last buyin with aces v.s. jacks she lead into me on the river after check/calling the whole way. Now, this scared the crap out of me because I had previously seen her check/call down her set of Kings to the river, and then check bendhind on the river when a runner-runner 3-flush was on the river. Weak/tight anyone?

In the aces hand, I thought for a good 20 seconds, looking at the board, and decided that she was too much of a rock to have improved on the river. If she had a set, good for her. I grabbed enough chips to make a raise reached across the line, dropped 2x4 stacks of red and was about to start the 3rd when she starts to flip her cards. Now, in my mind I was already raising and I said, "I'm raising" so that she would turn her cards back over. She called, and MHWG. She threw her cards and got up in a huf and went over to MP3 from this hand and I could hear her wispering to him that I was an such-and-such fuking a-hole that tricked her into turning her cards up and then raised when I knew I was the winner. Well, not true.. since I only grab enough trips to raise and take them across the line if I am going to do it. It isn't my fault she turned her hand up before I was done with my action. I didn't say anything. I just sat there.

Half the table was pissed at me for something or other, "recklessly" pumping a flush draw, cr'ing the river, etc.

As I packed up my 5+ racks on my way out, I told the table "good luck." MP3 in this hand said, "See you at the rodeo." Now, I'm not sure if that was an insutlt, but I think it was. Being called a cowboy at poker is an insult, right?

(Note, I was only up 2+ racks because I had to buy in for 3 over the course of the session after what seemed like it was going to be a never ending stream of bad rivers... but everyone seemed perfectly happy with me when I was stuck 2.5 racks)

Anyway, apparently the table really starting bitching after I left. One of the dealers came up to me as I was cashing out and said, "Thanks for being a real gentlemen. There are very few in that game."

So.. I'm not sure I would classify this group as a friendly bunch [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] There are definly some friendly people there though.
