Absolutely wasted day

After busting out from couple Merge tourneys, I decided to go to nearby little casinos grand opening. I was pretty happy to hear they will have Texas Holdem there and thought it would be pretty nice to change it up a little bit to play some cash games live, but I was wrong. Absolutely.

OK, I get to casino, pretty neat, everything new... single poker table. I sit down, ready for some action, and first hand pretty much get bitchslapped learning that instead of NL 2-5, this is a 5-10 Limit table. WTF. LIMIT? People still play that crap? Totally not for me.
Oh well, I suck it up and decide to play some Limit.

And then everything just went downhill. Kinda funny-sad story.
I was trying to get people to agree to play NL, but one old dude was like, oh I like Limit. He said, I don't know you and playing in Casino No Limit is dangerous against strangers. I play limit, so I would lose less. great thinking.
After a girl at the table told him maybe he shouldnt even play poker, I thought his lamp inside the head will explode. That was funny.

First- dealers. I think my dog knows more about poker just from watching me play, than these bums. For like 7 hands the guy didnt even take a rake. I was like whoa, thats awesome, playing like home game. until some bum player asked why he didnt take any rake...

One of good hands, showing how not only the dealer was stupid, but pit boss as well.

I'm on button, everybody folds, I raise w Q rag to $10. Guy on BB announces raise and puts in $20. Dealer return his $10 and says, it's $10 maximum. I was like, did this just really happen? Anyway, the guy kind confused and he is, ok, let's go.
So, he calls only.
Flop all rags. He checks, I bet. He wants to check raise to 20 again and dealer would not let him. Saying that he cant check raise. EEEEK
Turn blank. He check again, I know he must have something and pretty much give up on the hand. I check. River Q. Not too bad, top pair...
He checks again, I bet $10 and he shows JJ. Dealer just simply wrapped the pot for me in a gift bag.
Anyway, I just can't even imagine that we have such a clueless dealer, so I ask for manager. Manager comes, listens to all the story and makes a ruling. - No, you can't raise on flop turn or river. max bet is 10.
Really? Amazing. he said that's the rules here. I asked can you show me the rules where it says you cant raise in poker, he points to wall, where basic rules of poker posted. Pretty much beginners stuff, winning hands and stuff. nothing about betting. Nothing even about Limit or NL holdem.

Ok, I can't sit like this, so we get a general managers ass to poker table, since it seems nobody else understands poker at all.
He comes and it seems the guy understand poker pretty good and we finally agree on betting and etc. Finally, 2 hours into the game we can start playing Limit holdem.

Another funny thing, they had small blind and big blind buttons on the table. We asked, wtf is that we don't need them moving around, dealer said that's for him, so he would know who is big or small blind. how sick is that?

Another fluke. I am on button somebody raises, I fold. Flop.

Dealer looked at me first, like it was my turn to act. I say check. He looks at sb, he checks, BB checks, some dude in mid position checks.
Turn. He looks at me first again. Like button needs to act first. Of course without any cards I check. Everyone checks around. River. Everyone checks, mid position bets $10 and it comes back to me again. Of course my cards in the muck pre flop. I start counting the chips how much I should raise. I announce raise, dealer starts counting the chips. Guy who bet cant believe he just got raised by the guy with no cards.
Funny and sad at this same time.

Oh, there was one dude who tried to put extra cash on the table in mid hand when he had nuts and kinda threw a fit that cash plays.

Kinda new poker experience. And I'm never going back again.

Came back just in time to play in 8K GTD. Played like 6 hands max, bcs always was shortstack. I dont even know how I made to money and busted 5th.

Anyway, that's my wasted day
