Poker room had around twenty or so tables and i'm playing 4-8 limit. It is your standard fare of regulars, mostly older white and hispanic guys. There was one guy in particular who I will call Joe. Joe had been exchanging barbs with a hispanic lady named Ruth. She was in her late 30s but looked like she was in her mid 40s. You know the type, one of those women with a lot of mileage, too much sun and cigs. At first, I thought the barbs and verbal jabs were good natured humor between old time friends.
Its not until a half hour into it that I notice that no one is laughing and that they kinda hate each other.
Joe and Ruth get involved in a hand where Joe is betting the whole way and Ruth is calling down.
Joe says, "You better fold Ruth, I got a big hand and I see you're almost out of money. If you lose, you'll end up in the parking lot getting your knees dirty servicing some John"
"F**k you Joe" Ruth replies.
Which is pretty much her replies to everything Joe says. The river is dealt and sure enough Joe ends up winning the hand and busting Ruth. Ruth then says, "Hold my seat" and then she disappears out the door.
She returns 15 minutes later and buys in for $50. Joe then turns to her and says, "Giving head again in the parking lot huh?"
She shoots him a glare that would melt metal and replies with her trademark, "F**K you Joe" but this time adds a "God I f**king hate you!"
Next hand, she gets into it with someone else and sure enough busts out. She then says, "Hold my seat" and shes up and out the door again.
This time, she is gone for over twenty minutes and they sell her seat to someone else.
A guy comes to the table laughing and says, "You're not going to believe this, some broad out in the parking lot offered me a blowjob for $50 bucks."
The table busts out laughing and the dealer signals for one of the floorman to come over. He tells the floorman, "Looks like Ruth is at it again"
Floorman rolls his eyes in a knowing sorta overused expression and speaks into his walkie talkie, "Ruth is out in the parking lot again, find her and tell her she's done for the day."
