I haven't started a substantive thread in the poker room in a while, and am as much to blame as anyone for its "dead as a hammer" status of late.....
so, in an effort to bring in an informative, and hopefully entertaining. thread related to playing live poker, I pose this question:
In your expereince playing live poker, cash or tourney play, what has been the distraction that most interfered with your game, took you off your game, or otherwise pissed you off?
EDITORY NOTE FROM DONK DIGGLER HIMSELF: as many of you find my posts too wordy and lengthy, you can speed read the following by only reading the HIGHLIGHTED PORTIONS BELOW to get the jist of my answer, cliff notes format.... have fun!!!!!
My answer to this question required me to stroll down memory lane, not only through my casino experiences, but also dating way back to 2007-08, when I played a lot of underground poker around H-town.....
I thought of Jade Nicole's big f'n
/ample cleavage on display at the table next to mine, and how she kept smiling at me each time she caught me staring at her rack during a bracelet event at the WSOP several years back .... (actually, that means every time she looked at me, because I don't think I ever quit looking at them -- or played a hand -- during the hour that existed before they filled the 6 seat at her table that was open, giving me an unfettered view from the 5 seat at my table -- she was in the 10 seat at hers).... that was close to being number one.....
then I thought of a cash game in Coushatta, where some late twenties/early thirties camel jockey/cab driver from the middle east rolled in, was seated next to me, and hadn't taken a bath in a month or so, or maybe since he as born, and apparently had brushed his teeth using a log of shit as tooth paste just before deciding to go play some poker.... Making matters worse was that he had no concept of how bad he and his breath smelled, he was a big table talker, and was in the 4 seat while I was in the five, so must of his talk wafted in my direction. I had to finally ask him, "dude, did you eat a shit sandwich before you got here, your breath is killing me." I know that took him off his game, and he rapidly left for good after than embarrassing verbal shot from the Donk..... but that odor was so bad I had a hard time playing as well.....
but the overall hands down number one distraction that always pops into my mind was when I was playing in a trny in an underground room being run out of the north H-town swinger's bar named Radiance.... the owners were swingers, the game runner and his wfie were swingers (not to mention drug dealers for the latter couple), and all of the game girls were lifestyle "unicorns" (single babes) always ready to be a third wheel.....
well, the game runner gave both of the game girls ecstacy as their payment for services/tip for being a game girl, so those dumb bitches decided it would be a good idea to drop a few tabs and roll while being game girls. Their rolls kick in, and one is obviously tripping balls and getting horned up in her little mini skirt and no bra getup..... She asks several players if they want to "take a break" and hit the bed in the VIP swinger's bar area, including me.... well, the girl I was dating would have been "no beuno" with that, so i passed, but this babe was hot!!!!
As distracting as that was, what happens next takes the cake as the most distracting moment of my life poker career... As the table breaks down to the final table (about 40 players in trny), this trippin' balls bitch is standing by the table, and one of the dealers -- from they just broke to go to the final table -- walks by her, and she yells out, in frustration at the serious poker players having all passed on her offer of some game girl pussy, "someone please fuk me!!!", and bends over beside the table -- in the grab your ankles position -- and the dealer, a pretty cool guy, drops trow and starts laying the pipe to her right beside us who were trying to play poker.... that, coupled with the dealer at the final table being the owners wife, her triple d's on display as she dealt cards topless, qualifies as my most distracting moment........
