Session 11 Cache Creek 07/26/2007

4 hours of play for -120

Total 56 hours for $984

This was bad. I felt like I was back at Capital Casino tonight. I got there around 820 and waited for a hour to sit down. And the first hand has me guess if i played it right or not. Im under the gun and get delt JJ. I raised and got called by 4 players. Flop comes 10 8 5 rainbow. The bb bets and I raised, all four players called. Turn comes 6. BB check, I bet and 2 players called and the BB folds. River 9, Now im thinking Im really dead. Any 7 gives them a straight and many possible chance for 2 pairs. I checked and the next player bets. Im thinking great is it worth calling? But the next player to act raises and im thinking ok he has the 7 i can fold. The other player calls and they showed down. The player who had bet had k8 and the raiser had k9. I sat there stun.... I had the best hand but i laid it down. But im sitting there thinking i did the right thing.

Over all I won a total of 4 hands, 3 of them from a kill pot. So i stayed alive for he most part. till a no limit player came down and sat at the table saying he just lost 400 at the no limit and hes going to come win it back here. Well he must have gotten at least 200 from me. He cracked everything I threw at him. AK loses to 57 with the flop of A68 turn j river 9.
kk loses to a2. Flop 10 5 3 turn q river A. He called me all the way down.
AQ loses to 44. Flop AQ7 turn 9 river 4. Wow that hand got me on tilt now.
Now keep in mind this is all the same player. I am 0 for 3 now against him.
Now this hand tilted me big time.
kk loses to 23of suit.
Flop ak6 I flop the second nut hand. Turn 5 river 4. He just called my bets too. and he showed his straight. I was on tilt now. It took almost everything i had to prevent myself from throwing a chip at him and jumping over the dealer and choking this fool out. I ve never seen a player sit there looking like he was the king of poker before now.
Hero 0 super Ass 4
The next hand is one of my rare win for the night.
Super ass is the killer and im the dealer. It all folds to me and i Look down and see 1010.
I raise it hoping to get heads up with him. he calls and we see the flop heads up. Flop comes 10 43 with 2 diamonds. He bets i raise. he calls. Turn 4 he bets out again. I raised him again and he calls. river 7diamonds. Now im hoping he hit his flush or he slowed played his pocket 44. He checks and I bet out and he just looked at me and said well i know you dont have a 4 but i can only lose to pocket aces and im sure you wouldnt raise so that u can get them ckrack. I should raise you but I want you to stay at the table. Im thinking you fucking asshole. Dont you realize that your the Don and im the Solid player here???? So he calls and he flips over pocket KK. I showed him my boat and took down a nice pot. At that point it was just my 2nd win for the night.
Hero 1 Super ass 4
When aces crack was over he had a good 400 in front of him.and im about even. I decided to play for one more hour but that was the worst call i ever made. About 30 min past midnight i get the dealer button and KK again. Of course I raised and when it got to him he said who raise?? Oh him? Thats a easy call then. Im think FUCK U KEEP THINKING THAT ASS IM GOING TO RUN YOU OVER WITH THIS HAND. Flop comes 823, he says i check my 2 pairs. I bet and he says you dont believe me huh... I raise. when he raised everyone threw away and it was just me. So i 3 bet it and he says cap. Turn was A. He says i check the best hand incase you have pocket aces. I bet he calls. River 10 he checks and says I raise any bet. I just Checked also and this time i waited for him to show his cards. He had 83 for 2 pairs. I mucked my cards and start steaming.
hero- 1 Super ass-5.

I pretty much got owned by this guy tonight. He tilted me and out flopped me ever which way you can think of.

I guess even the Super Donk is going to have bad nights.
Thats all for now im still steaming as i think about the hands again time for my nap.

Session 10 Cache Creek 7/26/07

4.5 hours= +$280
Total 52 Hours for +$1104

Today I had to wait like close to a hour to get seated. But I finnally did at around 745 tonight. This Was the tightest table Ive sat at in Cache for a long time. Most time it went head to head preflop. But I was lucky enough to win some big pots when it counted.

I will post what i remember later But its late and I need sleep.

Session 9 Cache Creek 7/23/07

3.5 Hours of play = +$360.


I Back to where I play my best. And I ran pretty well today. I will Post hand When I can remember them.

Total Playing time 47.5 hours for +$824

Session 8 Capital Casino 7/21/07

well it couldnt get any worse tonight. I got called down by any two cards and i was getting owned by this played in seat 5. After my fourth beat by this player i started to tighten up so much that even a nit plays loser than me. One hand that tilted me was 22 on the small blind. I called and it was 4 players to the flop. j42 rainbow hits and i checked. Big blind bets and seat 5 raises, One player folds and I rasied it up also. It got called by both players. Turn was a J and i got a boat i bet. big blind folds. Player 5 thinks about it and said im stupid to call but why not. River J. It all but killed my hand. I checked and seat 5 check i showed my busted full house. And he showed 10 4 for a bigger full house. I cant believe it. Called me all the way down with 10 4 off. Thats how it went all night AK gets ran down... Flop sets loses to runner runner straight or flushes.

I pretty much know now that i cant handle Capital players at this point of my game. I need to be able to play better and not tilt when they sucked out on me everytime.

5 Hours of play = - $200

Total 44 hours = $464 Profit.

No One To Blame but my self.

I keep rethinking about what had happen...... All i can say is that it could have been prevented. If I was smart enough I would have waited till the river card came and for him to show his cards. Since i called him he would have had to show his cards first. I dont know..... if he wasnt since a dumbass and knew about the jackpot all he had to do was place his card down face up and said nice hand..... Or if He really didnt know about the bad beat and just thought oh i got caught bluffing with my qq and he has quads and muck his hand with out ever showing us all his cards this would have never happen. I would have never knew he had qq and i would not be so damn worked up. All i know is this was a once in a lifetime chance.... IF I WAS ONLY SMARTER I WOULD HAVE JUST WAITED TO SEE HIS CARDS FIRST. Stupid me....

Session 7 The day I wanted to Cry Cache Creek 07/19/2007

6 hours = +110 Profit
Total 39 hours = 664 Profit.

All I can say is.... It was in my hands.........The Bad Beat Jackpot....... A8 I was the Killler. Flop AA3. Player Bets I called. I notice he had 5 bucks left i asked are you going all in?? He says yes. So turn card comes 6 He push his money in i called it and i said whats your kicker....I only have a 8 kicker. I showed my cards waiting for him to show his. River Ace......... HUH???? I guess he wanted to go all in on his last hand. I turn to talk to the guy next to me and said i was worried he had a better kicker. He shows his card holding them out ward we all see QQ. I looked back down on the deck to see if i was holding a jackpot hand. As i looked down he set the cards face down and for about 3 sec. Everyone looked stun.... The guy to my right said wait what are you doing???? I looked back up and i see Phan the dealer picking up the cards and throwing them into the muck. All hell breaks loose. I kept saying what the hell!!!! Phan said call jim and see if he will pick back up the cards. Jim comes over and We all tell the same story. he says ok i will accept it but security must be able to see his hand. 30 min goes by i see a guy in a suit come speed walking up. He talks to jim. Jim annouce as of right now the hand is considered dead because the cameras could not see the card he was holding up before he mucked his cards. THe guy in the suit says just wait he will go through the tapes himself. Turn out he is the head management for swingshift. He runs the whole casino floor. He says he has the power to over turn it if he can see in the tape that when he held the hand up it was qq as he says. 20 min comes by and he tells me Sorry he played the tapes over and over. from the angle he saw he could not see the card at all. Dead Hand!!!! I just want to cry so bad....

Capital casino 7/18/2007

Capital my favorite losing hell hole. Its was 1AM and I slept most of the day and sincei had to wake up at 7 for work i decided to try my luck again. i was place in the 4/8 game but never wona hand till i was place into the kill game. I played for 2.5 hours and had aces 3 times and they held up every time. Never had that happen to me before.
Cant remember too much because imtired now but here are the results.

2.5 hours +159

Total hours played 33 hours + $554.

Cache Creek 7/16/2007

Today started off bad. I thought it would be a good day because i had the santi to my right which i love it because usually if he raise i dont see a flop unless i have a mid pocket pair or higher or a min of AQ unless i get my famous Q10 suited then i will play it because its my favorite hand in the whole wide world. But It started off with KK and i got ran down with a girl i had played with before and she floped a open ended straight draw. She hit it on the river. nothing i can do really. She was in it to the end. The night got worse when The santi says a female player who had join at the table is a agressive loose player had join the table. And she started to hit ever hand possible with any 2 cards. No card where bad enough to call and raises or if she wanted to raise with them also and what ever the flop was she would raise any one who bets out and she would some how end up the winner.

But as the frustration mounted the cards finnaly started to turn for me and I was finnally able to hold up. All i can remember was my last two hand i played in a row.

Q10 Spades My favorite hand... I limped in and saw the flop. flop was Q 10 9 rainbow. Under the gun bet from seat one player in seat 2 calls I raised from seat 3 all fold to seat one who just calls. And seat 2 calls. Turn 5 s Check Check I bet and Call from seat one and Seat 2 folds. Head up and river a 4 hearts Seem harmless but seat one bets out?????? I made the call and he showed j 8 off for the flopped straight. All I can say is thanks for saving me money.

My last hand was a scary one. under the gun did a live 8 and i looked down to see pocket 99. I raised 3 callers called, under the gun made it 4 to go and i capped it. Flop is QJ9. Under the gun bets i raised, Player to my left reraised momma in 6 calls seat one calls, under the gun caps it. Seat 4 is all in. He had me worried because he may have flopped a straight or a higher set. Turn is 8. Check to me which i bet and 3 callers. River is 7 which was one of the worse card for me to see. QJ987 board has me pretty dead now with anyone with a 10 for a straight. So it got checked around and I showed my set of 9 which took down the whole pot. 2 players had top pair seat one had pocket 8 for a set and i have no idea what seat 2 had.

Over all for about 8 hours of play +299

Total = 30.5 hours of play + $395

Cache Creek 7/15/2007

This was a nothing but a frustrating day. I got place is a super aggressive table. Where they would cap preflop and flop before showing down. But it seem like if I had AK the flop would be low cards or if i had mid pocket pairs the flop would be all face cards. So I ended the day at a lost.

-$99 for 7 hours.

Total + 22.5 hours for $96

Cache Creek 7/14/2007

Today was card dead day but came up for a total of 19 dollars.

Been busy and havent had time to update my blog.

Session 1 Cache Creek 7/8/07

4/8 kill= +$265 for 9.5 hours of play. (once i figure out my average BB per hour i will add it in.)



Im not going to post much hands today because i really cant remember too much. So i need to start remembering my hands better. In fact i cant remember any hands at all except I had quad 4 one hand. Played my top set wrong and didnt maximize my profit right (because I played scared on that hand) I think overall I played one hand correct and thats when i checked raised someone when i hit the nut straight on the turn. Well I wish i could say more but i really cant remember much. But I think tommorrow after work im going to go play at the creek from 6 to 10. Just a short session unless im running bad like normal and I will stay till 12 am which im hoping to avoid.

It all starts today!!!

For some of you may know Ive been playing poker for sometimes now. But ive havent really kept a tally or report of how i play. Some days i play good, somes days I play bad. Truthfully some say its just the way the cards turn out but in all honestly its just bad mistakes on my playing the way I do. Just recently Ive decided to play poker to win not to play poker just to play poker. I feel that i know the game pretty well. And that i should be coming out a winner evertime. But the old me still pops back up and the "Super Donk" goes throwing money away and bleed his chips out to all the other players. Yes sometimes I win a huge pot by playing like a donk but most time those chips get spread back out to all the other players that donk their chips away. So now ive decided to get rid of the super donk image and play solid poker.

For me Im lucky to have a friend who can just verbally abuse me for playing like a dumb ass. He know his game and he is growing to be a very very good limit player. Some of you may know him. He goes by the name Santi, Nik Santi the 4/8 superstar. He runs so good that a bad night of poker is only coming up a $100 for 6 hours of playing. He is my poker advisor. He tells me things painfully truthful. I know i have leaps and bounds before i can reach his status of playing but in all honestly I can never play his style. He plays to maximize his profit and I should too but its just the little diffenrence in style of play that I dont think I can ever reach that point. But with the santi givivng me reminders of correct play and very very stupid plays i do. I can slowly stop my old style of play and start being a poker winner.

So with this and just continuly playing poker to improve myself. One day People will stop calling the 4/8 super donk and respect me as a player who know his game. So today I will log in the hands can remember and post my profits or losses while I try to improve myself to the point of being a winning Poker player.
