We went and played at Cabana Nashville. Wasn't what I expected. I have played a lot of free poker at the local bar and grilles around town and I have come to think very negative of ALL of them. Not sure why I thought Cabana would be different. Maybe because it's more then just a bar and grill. Cabana Nashville is located in the Hillsboro Village near Belmont University. It is elegant but casual all wrapped up in one. Being in the South, this isn't a place you would find the local Redneck to be, thus that's why I figured it would be different.
I WAS WRONG.
I guess Rednecks come in all shapes and sizes, male and female, white, black, red heads, blonds, business suit, tank top and flip flops, high heels and Coach purses. The point being, pull out the "elegant but casual" bar area and flop in it's place the local bowling alley bar and BANG you have it, the typical free Redneck poker game.
Game was supposed to start at 8 but at 8 there were only 4 people there. The 4 in MY GROUP! They waited until more people arrived. It started some time after 8:30. Three tables, maybe 7-8 people at each one. I was seated with two of my friends so at least I had someone of interest to talk to. They were running a special, get $1000 chip if you buy a shot, guess what, everyone (I bought two) bought at least 2 shots if not more. The table also wanted one person to deal the entire time, NOT. Why would anyone want to do this, stupid. We didn't do it, we rotated, as this is normal protocol to me. At one point in the game, this college age donk states "I need my plastic zip lock bag to put my chips in". Like what do you think, your in the WSOP leading into Day 2 and need to count your chips. GET REAL.
Never made it to Bob's, had a family emergency, all is going to be OK there.
Bob is having a deep stack tournament on Saturday which I plan on attending. 10 days to I get to play real poker again.
PEACE!
