Gave the bail out

I got a call from Bill Potts when I was in Boston one week and he told me that he got arrested. He said that I should be waiting for a call to bail him out. I was a little taken aback by that but hey I wanted to play cards so I didn't think about it too hard. So I'm playing Omaha and I'm up about $600 and these two cops come up to me. Plain clothes, maybe Detectives. They asked me about how I knew him and how we met how he makes his money etc.  I was pretty honest with everything and later on I had to take a cab to the jail house and post a $200 bail for him. It was basically like a power trip by Encore Boston where they wanted him to move his car in the garage but Bill Potts can be a little stubborn sometimes and he didn't want to show his ID. That eventually led to the police coming and basically they tried to seize his car his phone and all of this money.Eventually it all worked out and Bill got all of his stuff back he paid me back and gave me a hundred bucks because I left the Omaha game and everything was fine. Even though he was banned from Encore Boston we went back there and talked to Alex about what happened and Alex let him stay over there for free. 


Sometimes after a loss I would play video poker at encore. I did lose overall because you're supposed to but I did end up getting  some free rooms and slot play. These were the nicest rooms I've ever been in. They even had Alexa in the room which is a shock. I do recommend getting a room there if you can get it for cheap because you'll never find a nicer room on the East Coast I think. The funny thing though about Boston is that I've never seen a room go to shit so quickly. All the talk was about how the fish would be all over because its in the heart of the city. That didn't last. It became a grinders den and the plo8 was the worst I've ever played in. I am a man of routine though but something had to change. Encore got cocky and they did the worst thing they could do and they raised the rake. Right around the end of the year I quit Boston and I never returned. So I was back to Foxwoods but I still had some issues. More to come!

Another few months

Bill Potts was in Encore Boston on that original trip. He's quite the traveler so when we are in the same area it's pretty rare. He was playing the 5/10 NL and I was hanging out in the 2/2 PLO8. My intention was to get the slot play, play plo8 until late night, and then get the greyhound back to Foxwoods. All of those things happened but I won 1800 bucks over the course of like 8 hours. So of course I had to come back. I mean we had some retarded people in this game. One guys strategy seemed to be make spazzy spewey calls but to balance that he slammed his cards down as hard as he could when showing. It's a strategy!

I needed to get some housing since I was going to Boston every week now. I was taking the Skyliner bus from Flushing, going to Foxwoods, and then going to Boston either with Jeff or a Greyhound. It was a lot to deal with but I was winning. So I roomed at Alex' condo. He's a good guy and a good player from F oxwoods that lived 10 mins away from Encore. He rents out to poker players. I mean the place isn't the Ritz but it's a place to sleep. I slept under these metal stairs and there was talking and yelling above me, so I eventually brought my earplugs and eye mask. Very necessary. It was inexpensive though. I was winning a ton but.....More to Come!

I'm back!

So the next paragraph is mostly worthless, because my first blog info is saved onto my tablet. But hey I’ll roll with it.

Long time readers of mine know that I used to do a blog. It lasted around 2 years and I had no intention of ending it, but I switched phones and I couldn’t get into my google account and I STILL CAN’T. It says thanks for giving the recovery code but still no good. So instead of fighting it I’ll just use this. My blog mainly deals with Foxwoods, Poker, and the Pittsburgh Penguins. So take a read when you’re bored. It’s been over a year since I’ve done one and considering the shitty times we are in, I have some free time.

I got over the pinkeye. Prob infected a few people but they were fine. I pretty much kept winning since the last blog at Foxwoods. I heard word that Encore Boston was giving 500 dollars slot play to people with Diamond Cards from Fox. I live in NYC so while that’s a long distance from me, I’m already half way there since I went to Fox every week in Connecticut. It was imperative that I went there because it was expiring like the end of August, plus there were fish in the PLO8 game. They moved the game up there. So Big Jeff takes me up there(Cheese went thhere too, a new friend I made after the last blog), I get the slot play loaded, I do 20 spins of 25 bucks each and I proceed to win nothing. I wanted to do VP but there was a lot of confusion at that time if it was allowed. I asked the desk if I could and they said no so fuck me. More to come!
