Ballin' 101 @ The Wynn



This is from 2+2 poster Rekrul:

My friend is playing 2/5 at the Wynn and theres this old dude sitting with $500 shoving everywhere, usually preflop and is down a lot but keeps reloading $500 at a time.

On his current rebuy he hasn't been caught yet, won some pots and has somehow worked up a $650 stack.

He managed to raise and just flat call some regulars reraise to $120 preflop in position (the reg has him covered). The regular who made it $120 preflop is a huge f***ing douchebag loser who thinks he's the sh*t. The old man has picked up on this by now, as this regular has not won a pot off him yet and is complaining that everyone else got his money but him. The old man is not dumb, he's rich, and obviously just screwing around.

They see a flop 23Q with two clubs and he shows 78cc to my friend. The regular then pushes all-in. The old man didn't have long to think when a waitress walks up and asks, "Would anybody like any beverages?"

"I'll take a water," the old dude says and picks up $500 from his stack and places it on her tray as a tip "Thank you very much ma'am."

The waitress has utter shock and disbelief in her eyes and then the old dude throws his remaining $25 or whatever into the pot and says "I know you have aces but I'm pot committed, I gotta call this."

It's ruled that he's allowed to do that and not only that but the flush comes anyways...
