Jim McManus brought you deep inside the mind of a live one. Now, straight
from the Bellagio top section* via Missoula Montana, deep inside the mind of
a dealer who has no clue when to shut the fuck up and just do her job. Read
all the great dealer-player banter! Rick Robey for Dennis Johnson has
nothing on these exchanges! Listen in: "Hi Andy, welcome back", "did you
get enough rest," and (who can ever forget) "do you remember me?"
*(what does it take to get fired there? In April I had some guy fuck up
because he was talking to his buddy, and when I abused him for not paying
attention, he came over and -- I swear to Jesus I'm not making this up --
hugged me at the end of his down and said it's all cool man)
But that's not all!
Showing up late for your push to stop and coffeeklatsch isn't enough. Read
how our perspicacious dealer starts blabbering IN THE BOX OF THE MEGAGAME to
a guy with headphones and earplugs! Hello? McFly? Is that a tell? And
what subject could be so important as to merit busting through several
layers of anti-chatty-cathy protective wear? Why, toking the dealer of
course! As in, "why the fuck aren't you tipping me Andy?" But this is just
back story. Hold on to your seats for act II where upon learning that there
is a tip pool, we hear our bouncy busybody say to Suzie Weiss, "Can Andy
please tip me personally?" And act III where on the website she explains
she's not groveling for a tip! And then cries if the other dealers get
tipped! (Sam Kinision voice here:) Oooooooooooh. I swear to God if Razzo
didn't in fact stuff his balls into his panty hose ala The Crying Game to
try and sneak back to the Bellagio, then I think we can pretty much say that
he had a secret sister who was separated at birth to protect the balance in
the force.
But that's not all!
Not only do we get to read stuff about Andy Beal that's no one's fucking
business, we get what amounts to an oral tradition of the Bellagio top
section! Was Ted Forrest really broke in '01? Read it here! Does Doyle
have a son named Todd? Find out here! Is Minh a member of the supercabal,
aka 'The Corporation?' Find out here!
But that's not all!
Going for the crossover McManus readership, we hear advice from an 8-16
player on how Andy should play the (literal and figurative) heavyweights:
- "Andy sits in the 4 (seat), right in the middle, across from the dealer.
His opponent always takes the 7s, at the end of the table. Huge
disadvantage."
- "You don't always have to have a hand, you just have to act like it."
- "Change your bet/raise patterns, change your posture, but never change
your attitude."
Who said the Spiccoli/Buffet lovechild was terminated in its test tube?
But that's not all!
If you order now, you get pithy yet profound ponderings that say so much in
so little:
Pros rooting for themselves to win? "That's the nature of poker."
Putting someone on a hand? "It's being in 'the zone'."
Will he return? "Time will tell."
Indeed.
