Training Day

Recommended Posts

This drunk guy was playing a poker style, I call prison poker. He mighta said, "That woulda worked in prison" or something to that effect, as well, at one point. Kinda sorta claimed to be a cop, but he wasn't a cop.

 

Guy thought, he was such a bad ass, he could come to my card room, sit at my table ... and push everybody around because he had a lot of money.

 

And he can. Everybody but me. I am OG in this town. King Kong ... aint got shiat on me.

 

 

Some guys never learn. They hit one outers, and think they are good. That's the nature of Texas Hold Em, sometimes a fish can win. Even a blind squirell ... finds a nut sometimes.

 

Still,sucks when it happens. I play a solid game ... everyone i have ever played a lot of poker with, knows I am the last guy you want to tangle with. My house. Nice try, but my mfing house, bro. I'm winning. I can't lose.

 

There are some notorious stories like, Sailboat Guy:

 

Sailboat Guy: Look, I ran $300 up into $2700 the other day, and this that you see in front of me is all that I have left.

 

Me: I know. Several people have told me how they hate you. You are a bad player. That's why, I went home for more money. I have $1000 in my pocket, and I'm gonna sit here and watch you lose every last dollar. Because you are a bad player. You will eventually lose.

 

I was a total d!ck to the dude ... He lost his money, seen him a couple times since then in the casino, but not playing poker. We called him Sailboat guy because he claimed to live on a sailboat.

 

I focked up ... I admit it ... but this guy, had everyone in the room pissed at him. Call in the sheriff. I was sick of his shiat.

I am so OG Tucson, Lute Olson taught me how to shoot a basketball when I was a kid.

 

I am a graduate from both Tucson High (where Can't Buy Me Love was filmed) and the University of Arizona. Got my BFA.

 

One time, ya know Arizona has a pretty good hoops program. I wasn't wearing U of A gear ... and this Mexican guy says to me, when I said I was a native Arizonan, he says, "You know what pisses me off? All these people, because they are good wearing U of A stuff. Just because they are good this year.

 

Me: That makes sense. Did you go to U of A?

 

Mexican: No, but I grew up here.

 

Me: But you were born here?

 

Mexican: No, I was born in Jalisco, Mexico.

 

Me: Same thing. Pretty much.

Then I was all, "I was born here in Tucson, and I graduated from U of A ... am I allowed to wear U of A gear?"

 

Mexican: of course ...you are ... But there are these posers ....

 

Me: Where did you go to high school?

 

Mexican: i went to HS in Texas.

 

Imposter Tusconan, and I outed him. Right there at the poker table. In like 30 seconds.

 

I'm the nicest guy you could ever meet. I have played with some hardcore Tucson guys like Issaih Toothtaker. That guy, his Dad was killed by cops, and he has "TUCSON" in big letters tatted across the front of his neck.

 

He's a pretty good poker player, actually. I would never, question his hometown dedication. And some vato from Texas gonna come here and talk shiat because i am wearing an NYU cap? Thinks I am some tourist? That's where I went to grad school ... Essay.

The reputation I think is overblown. He's called toothtaker, because he is known to have knocked out peoples teeth in street fights, and kept them as soiveniers.

 

He beat me, a couple times we played. He's not bad.

 

 

He kinda scares me, to be honest. But we get along. He respects my game. He's hardcore Tucson.

See, I was born here. I may not have TUCSON tatted on my neck, it was different, when i was hardcore. I did pierce my left ear 3 times in the 80's, though.

 

This was the "scene" in Tucson, back when I was a punk rocker:

 

 

It was interesting how it intertwined with New York kids. Find waldo ... I may be in that video ... wearing a red and black plaid shirt. Getting pushed in the back at 1:00.

 

True story, I was like 15, sitting in from of CBGB and Lenny, and UPS walked by. I didn't say anything, they were big in Tucson. Lenny is from Brooklyn though. He turns around and looks at me and says, "You are from Tucson, aren't you?" and we went and smoked a joint in Thompkins Square.

It was a poor attempt at picking apart bits of training day. I could only get through half of it as most of the complaints are easily explained.

 

I usually like those kinds of videos.

It's done pretty tongue in cheek, though there are some decent ones, It's not meant to be a moviemistakes.com. Me, I enjoy them.
