Our Inner Voice
There's this guy who lives in Thailand and one morning, he hears a voice in his head. The voice says, "Quit your job, sell your house, take all your money, and go to Las Vegas." He ignores the voice. Later in the day, he hears the voice again."Quit your job, sell your house, take all your money, and go to Las Vegas." Again, he ignores the voice. Soon he hears the voice every minute of the day. "Quit your job, sell your house, take all your money, and go to Las Vegas." He can't take it anymore. He quits his job, sells his house, takes all his money, and flies to Las Vegas. As soon as he steps off the plane, the voice says, "Go to Harrahs." He goes to Harrahs. The voice says, "Put all your money into a World Series of Poker (WSOP) entry." He puts up his $10,000 and buys an entry into the WSOP. He goes to his assigned tournament table. The first hand is dealt and the guy is dealt As & Ad. The voice says, "Go all in." He pushes his entire $10,000 bankroll into the pot. Three players call. The dealer lays down the flop which is 8h9h10h. The voice says, "Oh shit..."
Toke the Dealer!
In a 10-20 Hold'em game at the Mirage, a drunk was begining to get out of hand. "Well that was one shitty river card from you dealer!" he bellowed after missing a flush. The dealer beheld the drunk gravely; "Sir, there is a young lady at the table. If you don't control your language, you will have to leave." On the next hand, the drunk doesn't improve his set on the flop and loses to a straight. "Jesus Christ! Why don't you just light my fucking wallet on fire pinhead!" The dealer was absolutely at his limit; "Sir, I'm telling you for the last time; there is a young lady at the table! Control your language or you will be escorted out of the casino!" On the following hand, every player in the game wades into the pot. There are raises and caps on every card. In the end, the drunk sucks out an inside straight and wins the 10-20 pot of the month. The drunk looks out over his pile of chips at the dealer and asks, "Do you boys pool your tips together or do you keep them for yourselves?" The dealer replies "All dealers here keep their own tips." The drunk tosses two green chips at the dealer and says with a grin; "Well have a Goddamn toke on me, motherfucker." The dealer picks up the $50, turns to the young woman and says, "Miss, I'm afraid you'll have to leave the table."
Poker Monkey
A guy shows up at the Bellagio poker room with his pet monkey, "Jocko". Jocko jumps on on an empty seat and the guy buys him some chips. As the dealer starts to pass the monkey by, the guy says, "Hey, deal Jocko in!" Everyone looks rather askance but they deal him in. To everyone's surprise, the monkey picks up the cards and begins to play! After a few hands one of the guys says, "Say, that's amazing! Your monkey ought to be in the Guiness Book of Records!" The owner says, "Nah, he sees too many flops and is a sucker for a check-raise."
