Ruidoso NM

Travelled to the lovely little town of Ruidoso, NM.

Played 1-2NL at Inn of the Mountain Gods on Thursday, Oct. 23rd
Mostly even until last hand, A-Q, flops has A, aggressive guy bets $25, I raise all-in to $57(?) He flashes an ace and I tell him I got one too. Table my A-Q, he looks disgusted and won't show, he's done this several times already and when he hits a better hand he shows. Turn in a Jack and then he flips over his A-J for 2 pair. I'm done, I look again and think I see my flush hit on the river but alas I only have 4 spades........

Tourney going on in lobby ($330 buy-in) which you had to win a seat into. So I sit down at a brand new 1-2NL table. Buy-in for $100. Some loud mouth bitch comes in and is giving the dealer a hard time and he's having no part of it, when she asks where he wants her, he points out the door. LOL. I make a smart ass comment about her just giving me her chips. After she sits down with her chips, dealer reaches over and grabs her chips and puts them in front of me. He's just messing with her now. She's too stupid to realize what the dealer did. Borrows a $100 from a "friend" across the table and says I'll give it right back to you. She never does. Dealer finally moves her chips back to her, and she promptly looses not only all of her chips, but the $100 from the guy across from her too. When she leaves, she says she'll be right back, but instead she takes off.

I play tight for 6 hours and get my stack up to $400 before I cash out and go find the wife for the journey home.
