Re: 17 Hours Is for Little Girls grin

I traveled the eastern part of the US in the 1960's and 70's playing poker. Made good $.
Mostly pot limit. If I drove or flew, I came to play. Was not unusual to play for 4 days or however long the game lasted.
Pass the bennies and deal the cards!!!!!!! grin

Good Story:
I played in a regular weekly game in Montgomery, OH. Decided not to go one Friday. Wife wanted to go to Beverly Hills for a dinner and show.
The guy running the game called me and was in a panic, his dealers was not showing up at the last minute. I told him I was on the way.

I started to deal about 7:00PM on Friday. The game finally broke at 5:00 Monday. I dealt every hand except bathroom breaks.
I was counting my earnings and getting ready to drive home. The operator came in to thank me and said he would make sure he had dealers next week. I had just finished my count, $3,900 I had made.
I told him don't bother getting dealers I would be there on time next week. I dealt that game by myself for several months until it got raided. Best gig I ever had.

Add on,
I dealt Brownie Noel ( my partner ) a full house that got beat by 4 kings. A little later he got a set beat by 3 kings. Wasn't long before he got a hand beat by 2 kings. I said Brownie, you got your nose open again? I got a nasty look.

About 3 hands later Brownie turned his hand up after a big bet. I called it "jack" high and really hated to even look at the other hand. You guessed it "king" high.

Brownie reached in his pocket and laid a 32 on the table and said If one more guy shows me another king you are going to be sorry!!!! grin

Those were good days and I miss them.
