Don't Crap Where You Eat?

There are many reasons why I like to play poker at the Palms. There are also several reasons why I don't.
On Tuesday the room was especially quiet. I signed up for EO/Play. I dealt for 3 hours and then jumped into a $4-8 Limit game. Some of the other players in the game included 2 Palms' dealers, a Binion's dealer and a floorman from the Gold Coast. I knew everyone at the table.
On one hand I look down and see AA. I raise and get 4 callers. On the flop I bet and get one caller. The caller is one of the 4 "industry" people mentioned above. On the turn I bet while saying something like "I have to bet". The caller sarcastically spits out "Oh, you HAVE to bet do you?" He then threw his hand away.
So sue me for not soft-playing you. If you can't handle it maybe you shouldn't be playing poker. Why would you expect me not to bet my hand simply because I also deal to you?
About a year ago I was heads-up with one of our regular "older" ladies. I bet and she explodes with "You wouldn't DARE bet into me!" I would dare and I just did. Unbelievable.


The Playboy Bunny sign was hung on the new tower of the Palms this week.
If you are old enough, you will remember the Playboy clubs of the past...London, Atlantic City etc. Those clubs all closed sometime during the 1980's I believe. George Maloof and Hugh Heffner have joined forces and will open the world's only Playboy Club Casino in the Fantasy Tower at the Palms. It should be interesting to see how this one plays out. I'm not sure about the poker situation in the Playboy Casino. I guess time will tell.
