Funny story from Borgata on Saturday night. After failing to meet up with howzit (sorry), I grab a seat at 6/12. About 2 hours in, I'm ~$200 to the good, and then this happens...
I raise with ATo UTG+1. The table was on the weak-tight side, and EP raises were getting respect, so it isn't nearly as bad as it sounded.  I get a single call from MP+2 and flop comes TT4 rainbow. I lead out, and MP+2 raises.  I'm positive I have him crushed, so I call with the intention of check-raising the turn. Turn comes an A, I check-raise. River is a J, I bet out, get called, show it down and drag my pot.
Now here's the funny part. A guy to my left says to me, "Nice play on the flop." I said, "Thanks. I value called my nuts," fully expecting the joke to be lost on them, but no less than half the table roared with laughter. It set off an entire 10 minutes of our favorite Fillmaff moments.

My very own Bill Fillmaff comment got a few laughs online the other day. I was trying to loosin up my pot limit room by stealing a few pots and showing my cards. One player took offense to this telling me that I wasn't playing correctly, etc. I asked him if he was Bill Fillmaff (as I was not playing "perfect poker") and he was nursing me for all the +EV he could by telling me the error in my ways. He only responded with more insults, but I did get a few "lol's. All-in-all I was pleased with the result my comment. :D

Hey sorry Sean. I was walking around the room looking for a tall white 30ish dude w/a pyramid of chips fully expecting to go get a beer. I was also at the end of a ridiculous hot streak at the craps table so I was ready to cash out and sit in some hold'em. I put my name up for the 6/12 (i'm a NL player) and saw that I'm behind 50+ people 
For all those that don't know AC, the Borg is by far the cleanest, nicest poker room in AC with chips that are actually clean. highly recommend the games and the games are good...very very good.
Just remember to play PLUS EEEEEEE-VEEEEEEEE.
We'll meet up soon Sean.
