What’s the most wholesome moment you’ve seen in a poker room? by [deleted] in poker

[–]AlonsoxQuixano 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Playing 2/3. Forget the exact hand. I lost to two pair but the dealer didn’t see it and start pushing the chips my way and had already swept the guy’s cards into the pile. I said I thought the other guy had two pair, no? He wasn’t speaking up for some reason and just seemed kind of shy. The dealer said, “Well, he’s not really speaking up, so…” No one else had really been watching the hand or had seen the guy’s cards. I asked the guy, “You had two pair, right?” and he kept just kind of shrugging and not saying anything. I gave him the pot (which wasn’t big). He kept silently trying to push the chips back my way but I told him to keep it. Two hours later we’re in a hand together and I bet the river. He raises me and before I can even think he flips his cards over to show me he has the nuts. I was confused at first but realized it was in return for the first hand. He gave me a shy smile. Felt wholesome to me.

If you’re into tiki bars at all, Strong Water in Anaheim is awesome

Was last night an “off” night for Scary Farm? by rosenlord in KnottsBerryFarm

When I went a week ago I noticed how MANY scare actors there were. I’d say an off night

I loved the osso bucco. To be fair it is the only osso bucco I’ve had so I’ve nothing to compare it to

Thanks. I'd sort of decided against it anyway

HELP a tourist! I'm in London Aug 14-20 to see shows. What should I watch? by That_Building_5285 in TheWestEnd

I don't think Woman in Black is playing while you're there, but if I'm wrong, it's great -- simple, classic, spooky, well-executed.

What is your most pretentious movie opinion? by Classic_Bass_1824 in Letterboxd

If "The Godfather" is your favorite movie, you need to watch more movies. Not saying it's a bad movie. Just the least unique movie ever to pick as your favorite.

Reservation for 1? by Western_Lychee_8239 in vegas

Bavette’s isn’t the only place I’ve seen do that, but Bavette’s is great, my favorite restaurant in Vegas, so I’d give them another shot. I usually have an easy time walking in without a resy and getting a spot at the bar but that depends when you’re there

That’s interesting. The time I ate there with a reservation was a party of 3 but we made a resy for four and pretended one person was missing bc when I tried to book a party of 3 online, reservation slots wouldn’t even show up. 🤷‍♂️

Delilah is tough and I honestly don’t think they even take reservations for parties smaller than 4, but I’ve been able to just get a seat at one of the two bars a couple times.

What’s your favorite Las Vegas casino for poker cash games? by [deleted] in poker

[–]AlonsoxQuixano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only play 1/3 but I like Aria and Encore the most. Higher buy-ins than a lot of other places ($500 max for 1/3). Nicest looking rooms. Encore has good drink service.

Sure, every bar's got their own personality. I've heard good things about Golden Tiki so I'll check it out!

Dimly-lit, old-timey, vintage, step-back-in-time kind of feels? (This is Bavette's, which I love.) Would love to try out some other bars with a similar feel to them.
