When live pros do the extra tap of the table when the recreational player wins that nice pot off of you...😐

That’s me, I’m tap table live pro.
Live update: recreational from Brazil at Bellagio 5/T limps UTG 6H, reg ISO’s pre and tries to get thin on the J73JK rain with 75s. Brazil had 99 and snap him off.

I do the extra table tap for the deceptive play.

Reg gives me bad look.

I sip coffee. Will be a long night.
It’s now 6am, and most of my tapping on the table is to wake up the elderly gentleman in seat 6. “Your big blind.” Tap.
Live Update: 9am now and Seat 6 is awake... barely.

Seat 4, however, check raised me on Q43r BvB after facing 30%. I 3B flop small with 77. He called.

Turn 2BDFD: check/check
River 7d: He pots it with 88
I call and win.

He’s in visible agony. No one taps the table for me!
It’s now 11am:

Seat 6, Sleepy, just 1 outted someone for a full double. QQ > QJ on JJ9hh5xQh.
He looks very sorry, but also very awake now. He’s now stretching.

Seat 5 is on his 3rd movie. Maybe he’s next to fall asleep.
1pm update:
Sleepy still here. This man is incredible. Reserve floating flops while half a asleep. Dwindling down stacks just to revive it.

New addition: VIP on my right makes it happen with the 46off. He makes it happen in the fo’. He’s stuck a buyin but he has all the heart

Update: 5:30am Bellagio $5/10/20

Just chopped AA to KK AIPF after running it twice.

Seat 2, also known as, “Here to Gamble not wait”, can’t believe we wasted his time running two boards and no money changed hands.

I think I agree with him.

No table taps were exchanged.
Update:
8am now at Bellagio 5/10.

Seat 2, “No time like the present to gamble”, is super caked up.

New edition is Seat 3:
An early morning short stacker with a real time solver going.

... 11am at Bellagio now:

Pro in seat 5 is absolutely buried, but can’t leave a game like this, and let a professional scavenger swoop in.

He has his face in palm every hand... We all know the look.

Chin up seat 5 aka “Face Palm”. Better days may be ahead.
11:40am:
Solver Phone guy gets felted & leaves.
He is replaced by a Young Man roughly 30 years of age with a neat $1000 stack.

He waits for the button to pass. He’s the cutoff now and expects a hand.

Dealer explains that free hands only at $2/5.

Oh no... poor guy exposed.
Fuck this dude.

Update at Bellagio $5/10:

It’s now 1:30pm

I wasn’t sure that side of the table could get any worse to look at, but this new player has proven me wrong.
Bellagio Update 2:30pm:

Guy on my left text thread begins with, and I quote, “Tell me about ya. How’s your head game?”

I asked if I could take a photo of it for this twitter thread. He says no because his wife is on the next table.

Proceeds to give me multiple fist pounds 🤛
Bellagio Update:
3:45pm

New addition to the table.

He 3B $150
Shows 62o

I tapped.
Update: 2:30am Bellagio $5/10 Night 3

I draw the table with Seat 6 “No Gamble No Future”.

He sees me. I tap table.

He asks, “How big was the pot we played last night ? Two/Three Thousand something like that?

I smile and say “yeah”.

... He called $2750 on the river.
4:15am Bellagio 5/10

Gambler sleeps. I wake him. He proceeds to flop a set against my big draw. We were wise to not bluff Gambler.

I was a good sport, & showed him what he dodged. He smiles, happy I didn’t get too badly scathed.

Then Seat 1... (1/2)
... Then Seat 1, an Asian Male in his 50’s, proceeds to tell us but particularly me, how he folded ALL my outs... I smile and tap the table.

He needed more. He goes on to name all cards he had preventing me from hitting.

... “Heard you the first time friend”

No more tap.
Update 5:00am

New addition to the table:

Seat 6: A 30 year old black male with dreads wearing a T-shirt with one large word on it... “Raw”

He goes on to mistakenly table his hand early on river versus Gambler. One pair.

Gambler bets pot.
‘Raw’ calls immediately.

He’s good
Update 5:30am
‘Gambler’ enacts revenge versus ‘Raw’ from previous “angle”
$1000 goes in on 766ddh

Gambler doesn’t care about things like having the 9♦️in his hand.
“Let’s dance”

No discussion of multiple boards. Dealer felt the vibe.
Double table tap to Gambler.
Pros happy.
Gambler sends Raw packing.

All chips went in on K96scc.
Gambler had 69s versus Raw’s 88.

Gambler explains, “I was tired of his shit. If I don’t like you, I’m playing every connector in the deck and Imma get you. I don’t care.”
Major table tap for the Gambler
Pros went north
Update 7:00am Bellagio $5/10

A shocked face as the cards hit their back.

(1/2)
(2/2)

An unfortunate misread of hand by “Face Palm” at 7am after playing all night.

Seat 1, the Asian of too many words, inputs “What? Did you misread your hand? What did you think you had? I had a good hand.”

Death Stare from Face Palm.

Chin up ‘Face Palm’. Tap Tap.
Update 7:30am Bellagio

The game begins to slow down as Gambler starts getting very sleepy.

Overly talkative Seat 1 Asian has a innovative suggestion for Gambler:

“Why don’t you put some porn on your phone so you can wake up quickly?”
Bellagio 8:00am $5/10

“Gambler” departs back to Chicago. I hope he had fun, & returns soon!
As he is leaving, and I’m calling it a session, “Big Papa”, who scorched the “Phone Fuck Boy” from last night walks in.

“I didn’t like him not paying attention to our hand.”

Coffee!
Update 8:40am

On the river of Q94J8 against “Papa” with KT. Praying he has a Ten with me.

Bet. He calls. He shows his first card out of turn... the T ♠️

All of my study flashes through my eyes:
Did I just miss the sizing? I should go home! 8am”

Next card he shows... the K♠️
9:30am

“Phone Solver” from yesterday confronts me, and says his name was caught in his player’s card and he’s not using solver.

“Big Papa” says ‘who cares get your credit card in there too so they can help some poor Russian kid”
Papa then inserts chewable tobacco under mask.
Update 10:00am Bellagio $5/10

“Big Papa” is ready to fire. Table should be careful for the next few hours!

He also just put a big baseball parlay in. Let’s fucking go Papa. (1/2)
(2/2) Big Papa’s Parlay for those of you who fuck with the sports.
Correction:
This was just the betting lines.

BUT with some investigation, Big Papa is betting against the tigers!

Papa’s words were:

“It’s for sure. They are so bad. Do you bet Sports?”... No

“Good. Don’t.”
10:30am Bellagio $5/10

Inner thoughts:

“This game is amazing. I’m ten times the player of the next best. How the fuck am I stuck? Relax, it’s going to be OK.”

...Then tight reg 3Bs Papa...

Inside I yell, “Fold Fold Fold!”

Papa: I Call

... “Fuck Papa... Get There!”
