I Just Won $55K In Atlantic City

[Judge Smails]

I know you probably don't care, but I just had to tell someone. It's too late for me to call anyone so I signed up for the in-room internet service so I could tell you: my RonFez.net Buddays.

I won it playing "Let It Ride" Poker. Got a Royal Flush on my very first hand after sitting down. Life is good. I was supposed to be here till Wed. but they've comped me till Fri. I guess they expect me to give some of that money back but the joke's on them because I have no intention of doing anything remotely that stupid.

[tele7]

Holy shit!  Good for you Smails.  Don't even think about spending another dime there.  Enjoy the rubber shrimp and get the hell out of dodge.

[FUNKMAN]

<p>Holy Shit!</p><p>Congratulations!!! Nice to know someone is getting and not giving...</p>

[mikeyboy]

<p>Congratulations!&nbsp; Stick it to the man and keep everything you've won.&nbsp; Oh wait.&nbsp; I think I was supposed to start my post with &quot;Holy shit!&quot;</p><p>Holy shit!</p>

[HeyGuy]

<p>Congrats you lcuky bastard. The guy whos seat you took must be pissed. Anyway did they give you a big suite or just a regualr room? What about food and shit? Take them for all you can get.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By the way I need a loan!</p>

[PapaBear]

<p>Holy shit...</p><p>Stick it to the man and keep everything you've won</p><p>Except for the part that this man gets...</p><p><img height="210" src="http://drinkingliberally.org/blogs/oakland/archives/uncle%20sam-thumb.jpg" width="235" border="0" /></p>

<p>Holy shit!</p><p>I won five bucks in a freeroll yesterday.&nbsp;</p>

[mikeyboy]

<p>Holy shit!</p><p>ADF's a mod?</p>

My work at the orphanage has me so busy these days.&nbsp; (cue hulk walking away music)&nbsp; If you could only see their faces, you would say &quot;holy Shit, they are so cute&quot;.&nbsp; They are so unselfish, all they want is a 1965 Fender Blackface Guitar amp.&nbsp;

Now sheepy will make fun of you for being rich

[Judge Smails]

Thanks, everyone. This is the last time you'll hear from me until I get home as this web connection sucks donkey balls. In case you're wondering; I had them cut me a check for $38,600.00. The rest they took out for taxes, but still not too shabby. Anyway, I plan on doing some creative accounting to get some of that money back.

As for looking for hand-outs; that started even before I was paid. It took them about 30 min. to pay me while they checked the deck and the videotape. During that time, a lovely soul-sister came up to congratulate me and ask if I could "help her out in getting on a bus". I told her to go scratch. I did give the dealer $1,000 and the only other guy at the table $100. My wife said I was too insanely genourous but I was on cloud 9 at the time. What do you think? Too much? Too little?

[PapaBear]

I think it was generous, but not&nbsp;insanely gernerous. You did well, and if you actually leave with that check, you did great!

I agree with Papa.&nbsp; Also, it's refreshing to&nbsp;read good news from a board member.&nbsp; Let's hope it becomes a trend.&nbsp;

[Justice4all]

<p>Holy Shit!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Actually Judge that sounds about right for tips. You did great! Congrats.</p><p>I maybe would have tipped the dealer 500.00 but 1K is a nice amount too. Shows&nbsp;class on your part. And also the other guy I am sure appreciated your generosity.</p><p>Have a great rest of the week in AC. Which hotel are you staying at?</p><p>And I would ask for an upgrade along with the comp, see&nbsp;what they say.&nbsp;</p>

[tele7]

<p>Holy shit. Look at mikeyboys post count on this thread.&nbsp; 11111, or won, won, won, won, won.&nbsp; I'm scared.</p>

[Gvac]

<p>I hate to repeat myself, but I just wanted to take this opportunity to reiterate my long held belief that judge smails is the funniest and most intelligent member of this board.&nbsp; He's also kind and generous.&nbsp; </p><p>I hope he and I can become very close friends.&nbsp;</p>

[reeshy]

Me and Hotub would like to congratulate you on your fortuitious gain. You are doing the right thing. If you should need any help, like, oh say, how to invest aforementioned fortune....feel free to get in touch with me!!!!!! Glad to help!!!!!! oh, did I tell you I love you!!!!!! Well.....I do!!!!!!<br />

[Tall_James]

<p>Holy Shit!</p><p>Regarding your windfall I have only 3 words to say...</p><p>&quot;HOOKERS HOOKERS &amp; HOOKERS!!!&quot;</p>

[A.J.]

Nice!

[BoondockSaint]

I would post something nice but I really don't have time with all the worrying I'm doing about how I'm going to pay for mother's operation.&nbsp; If I only knew someone with some extra cash laying around....

[LordJezo]

How much of a bet it needed to win $55k?<br />

[terry1979]

<p>Congratulations man....but don't get obsessed with that feeling of &quot;cloud 9&quot;.&nbsp; Not to be dramatic or anything, but stay away from there until you forget what that feeling is like.&nbsp; This is coming from a recovering compulsive gambler who in his short 26 years of life has easily lost 5 times what you won at that table....so be careful, why even hang around until friday?&nbsp; YOu won all that cash take her to a nice hotel in&nbsp;LBI or Belmar&nbsp;right now.&nbsp; If you aren't planning on gambling anymore, why the hell would you stay in AC...it's a shit hole.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All that aside....congrats you lucky fuck!!&nbsp; Now I gotta go to a meeting tonight just at the thought of winning 55 large...thanks a lot!</p>

[giannidesk]

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Congrats!!!! I guess the dealer qualified and/or you had the exta $1 in the bonus slot.</p><p>If not....then you would have won even money on your ante.</p><p>What I never understood about the taxes thing is that if you won that amount over the course of a day....you simply cash out and leave tax free. I think it has something to do with winning it in one wager.</p><p>As far as your tipping goes...You should have tipped him 1/2 your winnings...then maybe you could have signed a movie deal (a la the Nick Cage classic &quot;It could happen to you&quot;).</p><p>P.S. I believe the odds of hitting the royal flush is&nbsp;something like 1.4 million to one.</p>

[Tenbatsuzen]

<p>Judge Smails, I'm going to need your address so I can invite you and your lovely wife to our wedding.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[terry1979]

You said you gave the guy you sat down with $100 as he was the only other player at your table.&nbsp; You won on your first hand?&nbsp; Did you sit in front of him or behind him (to the right or left)?&nbsp; If you sat to his right he must havebeen one pissed off mother fucker.&nbsp; He was probably sitting there for hours and you sit down and on the very first hand take the cards he would have gotten and get a royal flush!!&nbsp; If that is the case, you are lucky he didn't break a chair over your head.

[JustJon]

<p>Holy Shit!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Congrats.&nbsp; Good job sticking it to the man!&nbsp; Hope you do something good with the money.&nbsp; Like donate to your favorite official unofficial website.&nbsp;</p>

WOW, sorry I'm a little late to the thread, but congratulations...that's awesome!

This is the best story in the world!

You're like fucking Maverick at the end of that movie, except you got it right at the beginning!

This is a sweet story to go to bed to. I love hearing about buddddddies having some good fortune visited to them, and I'm really glad you got the internet connection on comp to tell the buddies at rf.net. Congrats!
