Vegas Mindset: Upcoming Trip (Rounders: Getting People Amped)

Mindset for upcoming Las Vegas trip, LOL:

Hey listen, I put it on the line. It wasn’t a bad beat. I wasn’t unlucky. I got outplayed that time. But I know I am good enough to sit at that table. It’s not a fkn pipe dream.

I’ve never told anybody this, about eight, nine, weeks ago I am down at Capitol and its late. And I see Nik Santi walk in fresh off In-n-Out Burger. And he goes and sits 15/30, and ya know the whole place stops. ‘Nik Santi walks in’ everyone puts an eye on him.

I mean after a little while, there wasn’t a Pai Gow game going ‘cause all the Sick Azn Gamblers are over there watching. And some of them are sitting there playing with him, they’re giving away their money to the 15/30 superstar, just to say ‘Oooh, I played with the Santi.’

And you know what I did?

I sat down.

I would need about half to one grand to play right in that game. Well, I had $300.

But I had to know.

So this is what happened?

I played tight for an hour, I folded mostly. Then I made a score.

Aces or Kings?

Rags, I had 73 sooooted and the button, I had nothing.

But the Santi raised UTG, and was called by like 3 Azn gamblers, std. I just decided, you know, I have the button, and I don’t care about the money, I am just gonna outplay the this table, this hand. I re-raised.

So you played right back and the whole table, huh?

And the Santi comes right back over the top of me, trying to bully me like I am some fkn 4/8 donktard. The Azn gamblers fold, and I hesitate for like 2 seconds. I’ll re-raise.

The Santi makes a move for his checks and he looks at me, and then he makes a move toward his Coke, and then at his cards. And he looks at me again. And he mucked it, I took it down.

‘Did you have it?’

‘I’m sorry Nicholas, I don’t remember.’

I got up and walked to the cashier.

I sat with the best in Capitol, and I won.

I put a fkn move on the Santi, I am an SOB.

So that’s why I made all those runs to Mongolian BBQ/In-n-out/Pho.

And I’ll do it again if I am hungry, lol.

Basically, just up the aggression in the upcoming weeks.
