dealer geno well and truly appealing to my competency kink night of assists | february 2023

some ramblings about the night of assists bc I don’t want to forget these little things 😍

sidney: just exceptionally pretty close up in person; thighs just exceptionally massive up close in person (cue even the dudebros behind me gushing over how big they were); apparently inherently lucky bc all three times I witnessed him place someone’s bet for them when asked, they won; not above cheating nudging the wheel to keep spinning later in the night if it wasn’t working out for people; braces (hot - should wear more often) but no hat (sad)

geno: in fine form; BIG hands, very deft; his face is just so expressive all the time, it’s delightful; no hat or braces (sad) but still effortlessly hot

tanger: still holding court at his blackjack table after everyone else was done; wonderfully judgemental, loud and dramatic over people’s choices; sent pojo to find him another drink when his was empty; braces and hat (👌)

pojo: so cute! kept trying to send the ball the wrong way at the roulette wheel; did not seem to mind in the slightest kappy telling him what to do whilst gently mocking him for it; was dancing to the street band at the end of the night & just generally having a fun time; braces and hat (good boy)

kappy: in his element; bossing pojo around; no braces or hat (boo)

dumo: is Not Good at mental maths bless him and checked every hand with us before paying out; gave me a $25 chip instead of a $5 at one point - tbf the lighting was low lol - and was just like ehhhhh keep it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯; says london reminds him of dc apparently; hat but no braces (“looked a bit amish” according to my friend)

jake: saw sid cheating helping by nudging the wheel and decided that meant he could too but much more blatantly; not above just spinning the whole thing again; generous with the payouts; sparkly braces but no hat (looked cute)

jason & rusty: did not seem to know the rules (not sure anyone did); had a very fond little lovers spat about it; jason mostly pleased they gave him the little stick you use to push things around with; hit himself in the head with it at one point; jason wearing his special velvet shoes again, rusty rocking a hat & beads combo, both wearing braces (nice job boys)

tristan: sweet boy, sweet smile; braces and hat (excellent fit in general)

dan potash: delightful; apologised that I’d witnessed two losses so far this trip; dismissed several hall of famers with a hand wave when talking about how good sid is; taller than expected; glittery waistcoat & hat, excellent shoes (a+ outfit choices all round)

sully: seen briefly, looked hot; regular suit, no hat (I would have liked to see it tbh)

burkie: seen briefly; giant beads instead of the open tie round his neck

r-hex: not seen, just as well tbqh

some Night of Assists gems:

geno complaining it was too dark to see which chips were which jason & rusty are confused how to play craps (lbr, all of us were) kappy ruling at roulette sid & jake helping everyone cheat big style on spin the wheel kris ‘bitch you’re not really gonna twist on that hand are you?’ letang

Feel free to ignore this if you don’t wanna answer. Did you get a chance to see PO last night? Is his smile as good in person as it is in interviews?

hi nonnie! I did see PO last night, and spoke to him briefly at the roulette table he was working with kappy and he was very sweet although he did not manage to get me an even number so I lost my bet lol

he did not know what he was doing but was very endearing about it and whenever kappy got distracted he kept checking with the casino lady that he was doing the right things at the right times, then kappy was claiming PO was slacking off bc once he was ready again PO was taking a selfie with someone.

once their game had closed down both of them were hanging out at tanger’s table, which was still going, and then PO was dancing with the band when they came past.

to answer your actual question, his smile is even better in person and basically constant and he is an absolute sweetheart 🥰

bad lighting bc of positioning (boo pens) but here he is at roulette:

and hanging out at tanger's table:

(not pictured: tanger literally about to snap his fingers at PO to get him to fetch him a fresh drink lmao)

[ehghtyseven]

Did you get any pictures of Tanger! He is my absolute favorite! He’s my hero

I did get some, though again, he was under weird lighting which wasn't the best :(

he was having a wild time and getting feisty with the players at his table who were clearly loving every second of it!

I put a couple of pics of him in this post but also have these:

[ehghtyseven]

Did you happen to see Teddy last night?

I did see him, but for some reason I didn't take any photos of him :(

honestly I think I was having a moment when we walked past where he was and I was so "omg there's teddy" that I forgot it was an option to go and speak to him lmao

also, he was overseeing the bead toss game which I would have been Very Bad at so there's that...

[ehghtyseven]

OMG u were at the Penguins gala last night? That is so fabulous

I was, and it was!

It was honestly such a special night and I am so happy that things came together in such a serendipitous turn of fate that I was already planning to be in pittsburgh this week and was able to afford a ticket.

the guys were honestly all so personable and kind and genuinely seemed to be having a good time and I still can't quite believe I got to hang out with and speak to them, it's so crazy!
