Just got back from Crown Casino after playing some $1/$2 NLH on the PokerPro tables with none other than Josh "JJProdigy" Field and Carter "Bdybldngpkr" Phillips.

They'd both been drinking quite a lot of beer and splashing around chips. They were obviously there just for a bit of fun.

It eventually led to a hand that involved 6 people all-in pre flop including the two pros. Of course, Phillips takes it down with his 92s, hitting two pair. Sure it was only just shy of a $500 pot, but to the people grinding it out, $500 is a lot of money...

Another pot I picked up JJ on the small blind with about 6 limpers before me. Popped it up to $16, only to get a lecture by Phillips that I shouldn't be raising from the small blind... He then proceeds to tell me that he'd be able to out play me if I had more chips (I had about another $60 behind me). Cocky much?

They certainly weren't shy to let everyone know who they were either. Not that I was annoyed or anything, it made for a fun table at the least. Besides, it was mostly the beer talking anyway.

And no - I didn't mention all the online controversy surrounding JJProdigy...

Sorry to hear, and I'm impressed by the calmness in your text - I was thinking - I've been in the same situation a few times and I'm sure you will find my tip interesting when I tell you that there's a place where the players are so bad you can only win (if you play focused and learn from how they play at first) .. contact me for further info

Good of you being able to stay this calm! In the long run you would win off these guys anyway (in their drunken state)..
Just an unlucky run =(
