Good Taj stories?

[slamdunkpro]

From one of the $500 buy in events at the US Poker Opens:

I’m sitting at a table near the high limit desk and it’s just after the first break. There is a 60’s + gentleman in the 7 or 8 seat and I’m in the 3 seat. Play is progressing when this guy gets a strange look on his face for a second, then goes back to normal. Suddenly the foulest stench imaginable is in the air. I don’t know if this guy crapped his pants or just let the world’s worst fart but the next thing you know that end of the table and the dealer jump up and start backing away. The floor comes over to see what the problem is and he starts gagging. At this point not only our table but the tables around us are fleeing the odor. They actually stopped the tournament clock for about 5 minuets to allow the air to clear.

When play resumes the floor walks by and simply states “Buffet fart”

I never told anybody this.

About eight, nine months ago, I'm at the Taj, it's late,
and I see Johnny Chan walk in. And he goes, he sits - And the whole place stops when Johnny Chan walks in.

Everybody puts an eye on him. After a little while, there wasn't a crap game going...'cause all the high rollers are over there watching him. Some are playing with him, giving away their money to this guy to say..."Oh, I played with the World Champion."

And you know what I did? I sat down. I had six thousand, but I had to know.

Played tight for an hour. I folded mostly, and then I made a score. I had nothing. But he raised. And I just decided, you know, I don't care about the money. I'm just gonna outplay the guy.

I'm just gonna outplay this guy this hand.

I re-raised. - Re-raise. Oh, yeah. And he just comes right back over the top of me, trying to bully me like I'm some [censored] tourist.

I hesitate for two seconds. I re-raised. And he makes a move toward his checks, and he looks at me. And he looks at his cards, and he looks at me again. And he mucked it. I took it down.

"Did you have it?" "I'm sorry, John. I don't remember." I vomited in my mouth, and I walked to the cashier.

Well then Mike, I'm rooting for you.

While playing once at the Taj I saw some man take off with a rack of chips. Some women stood up screaming while the man ran. Two security guys take off after him. As he is making his way out he takes off through the tournament area. He goes through the doors and runs into locked doors. The security end up catching him. I asked the floor man what that was all about. He was like "yeah that guy just tried to run off with that womens chips. If he was a good theif he would know that we lock those doors at night. Idiot."

I thought that was pretty funny.

I hate the fat guy with the mustache who won't shut up about his bad beats. He dates a decent looking dealer. I can't figure that one out. He apperently dropped over 10k playing NL. That seems like a bit to much to me but who knows.

Tiger (Tiger123 from RGP many moons ago)?

I sat at a table with Tiger123 about a year ago and was totally disappointed with him in real life. I remember reading his trip reports in RGP when I first started getting into poker and enjoying them; he's an incredible tool in real life.

Can't be Tiger. He doesn't play NL, and there is no way in hell he would have a hot young dealer as a girlfriend.


Besides, you can't miss Tiger... his jacket tells you who he is better than his belly & mustache.

I was playing 5-10 at the Taj a few days ago and the guy to my right was dealt pocket aces three hands in a row. I was beginning to think he had cards up his sleeve or something. The hand right after that he thought he had them a fourth time, but it turned out to be A4. As a joke he raised it out of the big blind anyway, though.

what about the disgusting crust that builds up on the chips at the Taj???

Its feels like someone put a piece of old gum on my chips.

Would it kill them to give them a wash now and again?

Playing 5/10 a few months ago, get up and go to the bathroom.. Who do I see walking out but the male waiter with a tray full of drinks. Like open cups of beer and pop and stuff..

I think someone got the special that nite.
