Strip Report: Sahara Casino MTT

[PShabi]

I played the $62 Sahara MTT last night. It was a great story and Mayhem suggested I share it with the board. Problem is, I already typed it out once and I've got fucking CTS, it took so long. So, here's the story copy/pasted from our AIM discussion earlier today. Enjoy!

PShabi (9:07:55 PM): but fuck, 9th was 88 bucks and it was 62 to buyin
MAYHEMx45 (9:07:30 PM): lol, yeah there you go
PShabi (9:08:06 PM): anyway, this shit was funny, I gotta tell you the story
MAYHEMx45 (9:07:44 PM): dudes fold AA on the button
PShabi (9:08:12 PM): you got a minute?
MAYHEMx45 (9:07:48 PM): yep
PShabi (9:08:41 PM): Okay, we're at two tables forever, and I'm sooo confident it wasn't even funny7
PShabi (9:08:51 PM): BTW, I'm drinking shots of JD allllllllllllllllllllll night
PShabi (9:08:54 PM): fuckin hammered
PShabi (9:09:15 PM): so we finally wittle it down to 11 players, and people's assholes are puckered up like you wouldn't believe
PShabi (9:09:30 PM): short short stacks are folding non stop, getting down to 3,2, even 1 BB
PShabi (9:09:45 PM): everyone's talking about "I can fold to the final table" and they have like 6M and shit
PShabi (9:10:00 PM): nobody busted 4ever, but I'm stackin up pretty good
PShabi (9:10:07 PM): cause I'm going for broke
PShabi (9:10:10 PM): shoving like mad
PShabi (9:10:40 PM): once we've been at 11 players a while, some dildo at the other table is like, "we can chop this up you know"
PShabi (9:10:43 PM): WITH 11 PLAYERS!
PShabi (9:10:55 PM): everyone agrees, except me
PShabi (9:11:00 PM): I'm like, "no deals"
MAYHEMx45 (9:10:34 PM): HAHAHAHAHA
PShabi (9:11:05 PM): it was awesome and it gets better
PShabi (9:11:13 PM): so we're still at 11 and it seems like 4ever
PShabi (9:11:47 PM): Finally, some other dude (I'd say 14/20 of these idiots know eachother from playing there all the time) says, "Let's give 10 and 11 their money back"
PShabi (9:11:56 PM): again everyone agrees and I say no
PShabi (9:12:21 PM): 10 more minutes go by and the tournament director comes over and asks the table, "does everyone agree to pay 10 and 11 their money back."
PShabi (9:12:25 PM): I say no again
PShabi (9:13:08 PM): finally, some old old fucker comes over and is like, "look, I don't know how many tournaments you've played but if we just pay 10 and 11, it'll entice them to gamble and they'll bust quicker with nothing to lose."
PShabi (9:13:27 PM): I'm like, "listen, if they're that hard up for 60 bucks, I'll pay them out of my pocket, but I ain't making a deal."
PShabi (9:13:33 PM): now, everyone fucking hates me,
PShabi (9:13:42 PM): they're talking shit at the other table loooking over at me
PShabi (9:13:46 PM): I'm getting drunker and drunker
PShabi (9:13:57 PM): we bust 1 and finally go FT
PShabi (9:14:11 PM): they want to pay the bubble his money back, I say no cause I'm just fucking pissed now
PShabi (9:14:17 PM): I'm thinking I'm not gettin out allive
MAYHEMx45 (9:13:57 PM): lol
PShabi (9:14:29 PM): bubble busts and the dude is furious
PShabi (9:14:53 PM): two fags each gave him 30 bucks out of their pocket and they didn't even know him cause they felt bad
PShabi (9:14:57 PM): wtf?
PShabi (9:15:16 PM): so we're going on and on and there are about 8 left
PShabi (9:15:37 PM): I lose a huge hand to the old guy with K high flush to Ace high flush and get crippled to like 5M
PShabi (9:15:49 PM): there's about 30 railbirds from the room, recent bustees, etc
PShabi (9:15:57 PM): THE CROWD ERUPTS WHEN HE BEATS ME, LOL
PShabi (9:16:17 PM): the bubble guy starts talking about "karma's a bitch" and shit
PShabi (9:16:27 PM): so I've got like 5 and it gets to me on the button
PShabi (9:16:34 PM): this terrible old lady limped early with like 7M
PShabi (9:16:45 PM): I got 66 and push
PShabi (9:16:51 PM): BB is all in
PShabi (9:17:03 PM): She starts laughing up front
PShabi (9:17:11 PM): she's got like this thick mediterranean accent
PShabi (9:17:26 PM): "I laaahve it, I laaaahve it give me more money"
PShabi (9:17:29 PM): she flips up AA
PShabi (9:17:46 PM): BB has one of my set outs with 86 and I'm drawing to the case 6
PShabi (9:18:01 PM): when she flips AA the crowd is cheering, laughing at me, etc
PShabi (9:18:15 PM): Dealer throws out 5 diamonds and guess who is the only player who has one in his hand?
MAYHEMx45 (9:18:15 PM): ship it
PShabi (9:18:46 PM): Holla
PShabi (9:18:49 PM): it was awesome
PShabi (9:18:53 PM): the room deflated
PShabi (9:19:08 PM): anyway, it gets down to me, the woman, and the grouchy ass old dude
PShabi (9:19:17 PM): he starts talking deal
PShabi (9:19:24 PM): he wants me to take 3rd place $$$
PShabi (9:19:25 PM): wtf?

PShabi (9:20:03 PM): I'm talking shit now
PShabi (9:20:11 PM): finally, he busts and we're heads up
PShabi (9:20:19 PM): he's talking about wanting to "body slam" someone and shit
PShabi (9:20:25 PM): it was awesome
PShabi (9:20:44 PM): then the rest is meh, cause the girl was stacked so heavy but she was clueless
PShabi (9:20:59 PM): I took my 860, gave 60 to the dealers and smiled while everyone was pissed off
PShabi (9:21:06 PM): it was like 5am and I was shitfaced
PShabi (9:21:37 PM): and went down to MGM and played 1/2 against some Lagtards til 7am and donked away about 150 and then went home and slept from 730 to 1030
PShabi (9:21:41 PM): been hung all fucking day

PShabi (9:22:45 PM): but you had to be there to appreciate the stupidness of everyone in the room

[juiCe[3x]]

Lol, That is great. That would have been great to see, good job.

[Nikita]

That was awesome, Rob and I really need to find time to get down to Vegas.

[eejit101]

rofl, i have a new found respect for drunk shabi.

lol @ tv wannabe"ments"

[Aequitas58]

Nice story. Live poker owns! My buddy is in a tournament right now in AC and just texted me: "These players LOL - up to 30k at the first break."

[bunny]

This song is so fitting for you. hehe

Seems you had a great time.

[Zybomb]

LMAO... those diamonds with 66 must have been priceless

I also would have looked at the old man as if he were crazy when he offered me 3rd place money when there was only 3 left! lol

[Talking Poker]

MAYHEMx45 (9:04:17 PM): u lost to a girl

[New Guy]

pshabi, Im in Vegas tomorrow til sunday. What are some good tourneys to play in? Mabey we can get together and have a few drink.Let me know,BTW good job on the tourney

[PShabi]

Check here for tourney info:

[Reel Deal]

LOL pay-off-the-bubble-tard-aments.

[Robbr25]

I tell ya, I would not have taken the deal either the way all the morons were acting.
Nice finish !!

[MAYHEM45]

you should never take this deal DUCY?

[Robbr25]

The last deal you should obviously not take.
But the one when there was 11 left, would only be tempting if I was 9,10 or 11 in chips.

[omahilo]

lol nice story...

what a bunch of fucking pussies... they want to deal with 11 people left then want to give 11 and 10 their money back?!?

If you are that hard up for $60 then you shouldnt be fucking playing in the tournament to begin with.

[PShabi]

I said something to that affect on a couple of occasions that night. "It's not the money, it's the time invested."

[Gordogg]

Haha, great story Shabi. Congrats on the score.

[Spidey44]

Here...let's make a deal...you take 3rd place money. That's some good shit right there.

Nice work.

[Talking Poker]

It would have been better if he offered LESS than third place money, based on a straight chip count.

People are silly.
