"What Else Are Breasts For?"
New Year's Eve, 2016
Part 2
This is the second of three parts. Part 1 is here. I’ll post part 3 Tuesday evening. We continue right where we left off. Ginger, Faith and Jennifer had been away from the table for over an hour to have dinner.
The ladies did return within the allowed time and they were in very good moods. But then something happened that soured Faith’s disposition. She and Jennifer were in a hand, as was a third player. I believe it was on the flop and Jennifer went all-in. Her bet was a bit less than $100, let’s say it was $75. Faith was next to act. She had Jennifer covered and she had her chips stacked very high. She put one of stacks out in front of her. She didn’t say what she intended and she hadn’t counted the stack, but it was clearly more than Jennifer’s bet—quite a bit more. It looked like it could have been double Jennifer’s bet; if not, it was close to that.
Faith apparently didn’t realize that there was another player in the hand, she must have thought she was heads up with Jennifer. But before the dealer could ask her to clarify her action, the third player, who had Faith covered, announced “all-in.” This took Faith by surprise, and then she started taking chips off the stack she had put out in response to Jennifer’s shove. The dealer said she couldn’t do that. He was about to count her stack, insisting her bet was a raise. Maybe only a min-raise, but definitely a raise. She said, “No, this was just a call, I’m taking back the chips that are more than Jennifer’s bet.” The dealer stopped her from pulling the chips back and immediately called the floor.
The problem was that since Faith never said “call,” the chips speak for themselves. Her play would have been fine if it was just heads up but her action was unclear since there was another player to act and that player announced all-in so fast the dealer didn’t have a chance to clarify her bet. I believe what should have happened was that the dealer should have counted out the chips she had pushed forward and if the extra chips in excess of Jennifer’s bet were more than half of Jennifer’s bet, it would be considered a min-raise (to $150). If they were less than half, it would just be a call. So, if it was $120 total, it would be considered a raise to $150, and if it was $100 total, it would be considered a call of the $75 and she could take the extra chips back.
At least, as I understand the rule, that’s the case. Anyone think differently?
Well, you didn’t really need to count because it was obvious that Faith’s stack was very close to being double Jennifer’s bet, you could just eyeball it and determine that. Anyway, the shift boss did the count and it turned out she was only $15 short of making a legitimate min-raise, even though she insisted she was only calling. Faith put up quite the argument, insisting that it was only a call and she was only responsible for the $75. The shift boss refused to change his ruling, and didn’t care one bit that Faith was a long-time regular in the room (nor should he have).
Here’s where it got a bit dicey for me. I think he not only should have insisted that all the chips Faith put out remain in the pot, but he should have made her put an additional $15 in there since she, by rule, made the min-raise. I am not 100% certain of this, but I don’t believe he did that. I think she was just on the hook for what she put out initially and not the extra $15.
But maybe, if I’m correct, it’s ok. I think I’ve seen situations where players put out excess chips that indicate a raise (or a call of a raise they weren’t aware of) and were allowed to just leave the chips out with completing the bet. And it was only $15.
Anyway, Faith folded and the guy who shoved won the pot
But Faith was really pissed. And she took it out on Jennifer, for some reason. She immediately asked for a table change to get away from Jennifer! Although the ruling was right, I could understand her being pissed at the shift boss. That might have encouraged her to change poker rooms—but as I’ve already explained, that would have been difficult on this night.
I couldn’t figure out why she was so pissed at Jennifer that she wanted to get away from her, but she clearly was. She somehow blamed Jennifer for the whole problem, when all Jennifer had done was go all-in, a perfectly acceptable poker move. Well, the three ladies were bantering and sorta playing at each other all night. Perhaps she thought Jennifer was just making a bluff there and because she was so sure she (Faith) had caught her, she forgot about the other player and that the whole problem was somehow Jennifer’s fault. I didn’t see the hands there, perhaps she got pissed if she found out Jennifer was shoving with air. But why would Jennifer do that unless she too forgot about the third player in the hand, and I find that unlikely.
So Faith moved to another table, leaving her good friend Ginger behind. I don’t think Faith was mad at Ginger too but then, I really don’t understand women, so who knows?
I’m happy to report that before the evening was over, Faith returned to the table in her original seat, and seemed to have forgiven Jennifer for whatever crime she had committed.
Now, before the three of them had gone to dinner, another person I recognized showed up at the table. It was Rick, a reg in the room. Rick almost always plays 2/5 when it’s running, so I hadn’t had much experience playing with him. Maybe once or twice over the years he was at the 1/2 table with me. And I’m pretty sure he was the guy who busted me the last time I played in the MGM Invitation (freeroll). But I knew by reputation he was a really tough player.
Oh, there’s one other thing I should tell you about Rick. And I tell you this only because it’s relevant to the story. Rick is a “little person.”
So when Rick came to our table, Jennifer was almost ecstatic to greet him, it had been a long time since she’d seen him. Rick initially was sitting in the seat to my immediate left. Not too long after Faith left the table, the guy who won that pot left the game. Rick moved over to take his seat, which was right next to Jennifer.
But before Rick moved, the salaciousness began. At one point, Rick and Jennifer were in a hand together. I’m sure Jennifer has real respect for Rick’s game. Rick, who was sitting across the table from the ladies at the time, had made a big bet and Jennifer went into the tank. Then she spoke to Rick from across the table, “If I fold, are you gonna show me your nuts?” I cracked up but Rick didn’t hear what she said and asked her to repeat it. I tried to repeat it for him, but at the same time, Ginger also respnded but with a slight variation. She shouted, “She said, ‘How big are your nuts?’” Rick was unfazed, and he kind of balled up his fingers and his thumb to approximate the size. “And that’s only one,” he emphasized. Remember, Rick is a “little person.”
And there was a question about the size of a related part of his anatomy. I didn’t catch the context, but Jennifer said something about “six inches.” “That’s six inches,” or something. Rick responded, “I don’t know if it’s six inches. I know when I walk, I get carpet burn. Is that six inches? Or is that eight inches?”
During this back-and-forth, Jennifer said something which Rick took as a slight on his ability to, um, get a woman. I didn’t hear the set up, but I heard Rick say, “What? You think I can’t get laid? I’ll have you know I’m getting laid tonight!”
Now to explain this next part, I have to discuss something I don’t like talking about—cleavage. OK, that was silly—no one would believe that. Well, in the entire history of cleavage, there was never more of it to talk about than this night. Even better, there was never more to see than on this night.
Seriously, the eye candy was noticeable at 4PM when I got there, and even early in the evening, long before the club goers usually show up, they were out in force. From the time I got the preferred viewing seat right after dinner, there was almost a non-stop stream of girls, dressed to the nines (or perhaps more aptly, barely dressed to the nines), walking by.
As I’ve explained before, there are three elements to a Slut Parade dress, which is pretty amazing, because there’s barely enough material in those dresses for one element. The dresses are generally very short, very tight, and very low-cut. Most dresses emphasize two of those three elements. Often, the girls wearing tight, short dresses aren’t showing much (if anything) on top—except perhaps due to the tightness of the dress. So, some nights, there isn’t that much cleavage to admire, and also, on some nights, the ladies that show up are not as great looking as on other nights.
This night was something else. It seemed like virtually every woman who walked by had picked an outfit out that really showed off her boobs. There was cleavage, there was side-boob, there was under-boob. There was just a lot of boobs. And a ridiculously high percentage of the ladies were smoking hot. Sizzling, in fact. The average wait time to see at least two really gorgeous women walk by was 1.7 seconds. Ok, I might be exaggerating a bit. But not by much. I’ve heard that there are men with an above average interest in women’s breasts (not that I know anybody like that). This was in incredible night for any such man.
Honestly, since I’ve observing the Slut Parade, this was without question the most girls I’d ever seen. And the highest percentage of really hot girls. And the highest percentage of really revealing, really low-cut dresses. What was there not to like?
It would have been a great night to have hidden about a dozen (or maybe 100) video cameras at various locations in the casino to record the lovely young ladies there to celebrate the new year. Unfortunately, doing so would be extremely illegal.
At one point during the evening, I tweeted out the following: “The cleavage on display tonight is unreal. Of course, I mean that in both senses of the word.”
I don’t want to imply that on this night there only eye-candy for the tit-men. Not at all. Leg-men and ass-men were also extremely well served. As were fans of virtually all body-types. There was something for everyone—and a whole lot of it.
The one problem with the view from the poker room was that, at various times during the evening, passersby would decide to stop at the rail of the poker room, right in front of our table, and just park themselves there, watching us play. I doubt most of these folks were poker players and I have no idea what they found so fascinating about watching us. But they did. And thus, they were partially or mostly blocking my view of the foot traffic. Often, there would be only a small window to peak thru to enjoy the ladies as they passed by. It was frustrating. Frequently I didn’t get a chance to admire the short dress, or the tight dress. I so wanted to shout at those looky loos, “Get the f*** out of the way, you’re blocking the view!” But I managed to avoid doing that.
So, it was in that context that Jennifer started complaining about the traffic. It wasn’t that she objected to the girls in their revealing outfits. It was that it was just unfair. She couldn’t help but notice how distracted all the guys at the table were by ladies. So she said, “There’s nothing for us to look at. Look at the guys, there’s no guys worth looking at. It’s only the girls. Only the girls are worth looking at.”
“And they’re all fake.”
Ginger disputed that there was nothing for them to look at. “I like looking at good-looking people of either sex.”
Then Jennifer, noticing all the boobage on display, stated flatly, “Anything more than a mouthful is a waste.”
The dealer at the time, a male and a long time co-worker of both Jennifer and Ginger responded, “Is that true for men, too?”
Jennifer replied, “No, your equipment has multiple functions. Breasts are just for two things—babies use them, and for sex play….What else are they for? Milk and sex play. That’s it.”
I dunno…..I think they’re also nice to look at. When properly displayed, they tend to turn men into blithering idiots. When properly displayed at a poker table, they can distract male poker players from playing well. This is known (by readers of this blog, anyway), as the Jennifer Tilly Effect.
But that was all Jennifer had to say about breasts and their usefulness, and we moved onto other topics.
And thus ends part 2. The final chapter will see two dealers having quite the argument, and a “delayed” celebrity sighting. See here.
