Playing in the morning $40 tournament, there was a lot of yelling at the 3/300 cash game next table over. Bad Beat hit for $9000. I tried to get it on camera, but was set on movie. Pocket aces flopped quads, pocket kings on runner runner turn and river. Wow.
I am running bad, 12th out of 54 entries yesterday, out early today. Frustrating in cash games as well. Eight names on waiting list for 3rd Omaha game but a few are in NL Hold'em so manager will not start game until more on waiting list for it. I give up and drive home only to see message on text that seat is available.
Playing in 3/300 cash I am tight aggressive on a $150 buy in. Win 2 hands in a couple of hours and down $20. Could have been much worse, nice guy next to me loses $300, at least 2 others lose that much or more. Bloody game.
Now for a scary story. Send the kids to bed. Volunteered to drive daughter and granddaughter to final dress rehearsal for Nutcracker. Meg is playing a gentleman at the party, Eva is a bonbon that comes out from under a giant dress. So, it is 5 p.m. on Friday afternoon, peak of bad rush hour traffic and we are running a little late. My Google Drive directs me on fastest route to Snohomish high school thru back roads. Only problem is eventually puts me back on highway 9, the main route, which is wall to wall cars in both directions, almost bumper to bumper and I am on a side street with no traffic light. Daughter tells me there is extra lane as it is tough to see in the dark. I wait for a small break in traffic and go. Only problem, extra lane is on my side, cars not anxious to let you in, and car coming in passing lane is going fast and apparently suicidal. Somehow he misses me, I shoot into gap and we make it. Closest call ever. The guy never tapped his brakes.
So, after dropping them off, we go for dinner. I check on local spots, thanks again Google, and decide on a nice bowl of pho at a local Vietnamese restaurant . Should have checked yelp reviews first. Horrible horrible service and sub par food. Read the one stars for Bamboo Bowl in Snohomish if you want more information. It amazes me how rude people survive in hospitality businesses.

So glad you weren't in a car accident - phew! That was a close one.
As for rudeness in hospitality services - that's not the only place. It's everywhere like a virus. I don't know what's up with people these days. I certainly wasn't raised that way. You're right - those one star reviews pretty much said it all about Bamboo Bowl.
Sure wish we could get good service these days. Blah.
