A.S. Strikes Again
For my buddies Rick Nebiolo and 3-bet Brett and anyone else who knows Archie: They start a new 40-80 game. I move over from the 30-60 and Archie comes over from the 30-60 stud game. He has about 3 $10 chips and a $1,000 chip. He refuses to change the $1,000 chip. I had done well in the 30-60 and had 3 racks worth of $10 chips. First hand I raise and Archie cold-calls with his $1,000 chip. I bet the flop and Archie and everyone else folds, so I win the pot. Archie says he'll get change. I tell him I'll change the big chip. He says, no, he'll change it. Before they can deal the next hand, I'm called for the must-move. I tell the dealer, remember, Archie owe me 8 chips; I also tell Kevin, Archie owes me 8 chips. About 10 minutes goes by and I stand up to look over at my ex-table to see if Archie has his change yet, He does. I tell Kevin again, Archie owes me 8 chips. Kevin goes over to Archie, gets chips from him, and brings me over. . . 16 yellow chips! I ask Kevin where did he get yellow chips? Kevin says he's sorry, this is what Archie gave him, he took them out of his pocket. I use the yellow chips for collections and start to accumulate blue $1 chips as well. By and by, Archie is called for the must move. By and by, we get involved in a hand where I'm in the big blind and Archie raises. I get perhaps the biggest laugh ever at the table when I call the raise with. . .twenty blue chips and 4 yellow chips. At this point I have 4 racks worth of the correct chips. Archie starts with his "what you doing?" as I'm counting out the blue chips. I honestly had crap, I shouldn't have called his raise, but I couldn't resist. As his final act of discourtesy (after his numerous "new set-up"s, "extra shuffle"s, "change the deck"s, and "sc-ramble, big sc-ramble"s) he asks for a brand new set-up just the hand before he is to have the blind, and then leaves the game to go home on his blind. I'm really a very nice guy, a please-and-thank you man, easy-going and affable. But this guy is the stupidest, most selfish, orneriest, loud-mouthed, impolite chancre sore of an excuse for a human being I've ever had the misfortune to meet in my entire life. It's after midnight now, I had a big, big, big night and what am I thinking about? Archie! |

Re: A.S. Strikes Again
The only consolation in dealing with this idiot is that Archie spends his whole life thinking of what other people have done to him, and you only have to when dealing with Archie. Nice win. |

Re: A.S. Strikes Again
thats what makes poker fun, all the different characters you have to deal with. you had an event you will remember always but certainly will not remember the money. besides i wonder what he is saying about you right now. |

Re: A.S. Strikes Again
Yeah, I think you're right, it's certainly part of the fun in dealing with the unusual characters. Since everyone seems to want to know, I won $7800 yesterday, breaking a 4 session losing streak. |
