Capital Casino Sat night 8/2

Not bad of a night, I didn't show up till about 230am, Took a nap and woke up ready to play. Just a quick update pretty tired. 2 1/2 hours of play and came up 280. Hands actually held tonight. So I'm not going to complain about some bad crappy beat.

first winning hand, 22 on the bb. I'm in seat 3 and seat 6 raises, about 5 callers to the flop. Flop comes ak2, a little scary but lets see how strong my hand is when i go for the check raise. Sb checks i check, and next thing i know it gets checked around. Boo that sucks ass. Turn come and its 4. sb check i bet and couple players fold and the rest called. River 8, I bet and i get looked up by seat 1. I showed my set and take down the pot.

Another hand, AK under the gun I raised and get about 4 callers. Flop a78 rainbow. I bet and every one calls. Turn was a 2. I bet and seat one raises me. I call and another player called. River 2, He bets i called and the other player called. He shows 78 for 2 pairs on the flop and i showed my ak for running 2 pairs.

When I got moved to the kill game it was a little weird. Everyone was Asian, with about 500 in front of them. Great I am in for a good time.

So I finally get a hand AQ on the big blind. about 6 to the flop. The flop q24. I bet and everyone calls.now the player in seat 1 keeps saying I check my deuce give me a deuce. Turn A, I bet call call fold and he raise. I reraised and everyone else folded. River K. he looked a little mad when I bet and he just called. I showed aq and he showed a2 for two pairs also. AWESOME!!!!

Capital 7/26

Well it was a bad night. I played for about 6 hours for a negative 315. Not gonna say much but I ran into 2 psychic players that kept saying they knew what i had and they knew what the turn and river would be and hit their crappy flush or straight. I flopped alot of sets and top two, but they were never good against these players. Even had a player cold call 3bets with 72 off and hit nothing on the flop "I flopped top two AQ" and turn and river were 2 and 2 for him to hit running trips.

Update from 7/25

Ok here is a hand from 7/25, pocket 99 on the bb, new player from the other table comes over and he raises. about 4 callers and i call. flop come 953 rainbow. I check he bets and it went call call, fold i raise, he reraise call, call, I cap, call around. turn was 8 I bet he raise I reraise and it gets capped. River was a king. I bet and he still raise, i reraise and he just calls. I showed my set of nine and he gets 35 for aces crack.

Capital Casino Friday Night 7/25

OK Just a short blog I'm very tired and I need to get some rest. I call this the great turn around. I told myself that I would leave once I drop 400 for the night. But for some reason, Which I think It was mainly fatigue. I re bought in again once i was dropping past the -370 range. The Santi had just left for the night and i was pretty much the table punching bag for majority of the night. But it seem once i re bought i never deep past the -420 range for at least 2 hours, and once 530 am hit, everything turn around. My hands were holding, I read the 2 manics that was on the table correct and scoop up a couple large pots, Mainly because "i soul read them." I also tilted the taggy player that came from the other kill game. He came over with about 5 racks and said he wanted to play at the table with all the chips swinging around. Sorry Dude 99 beats AA when i flop top set and you don't seem to understand how to read what a player may have. That hand I will talk about later. But by the end of the 3rd time I slapped him around all he kept saying was dude you don't know a fold button do you !!! Wow sorry if kq beats ur ak when i flop top two!! I raised and you just called preflop. But more about him later when i actually blog about some hands. But by the time I left Capital, it was 830Am and i was up 200 for the night.

More hands from saturday night.

Ok, so here is another hand from sat night. I call this the suck out bad and played like shit hand. So john was still dealing and its a killed pot. I get j10 of clubs. And about 5 players to the flop. Now a little history. Seat one has been raising every single hand and he tries to play it aggrisive but after the turn he petty much shuts down. Or he shuts down once someone raises him. Most time people raise him with nothing and he throws the hand away. So pretty much everyone had his way with him. So on this hand I thought I was going to do the same to him. And pretty much I figure my image has been solid. People see that my hands has been either the nuts or pretty damn near it. So with 5 players I'm hoping this will work. Flop comes and it was 456 with one club. I check seat nine checks seat one the guy who always raises bets out. Momma calls seat 6 calls and I went for the raise. But my problem was everyone called. Oops I fucked that up.the turn comes 2clubs great now I have a flush draw now but the straight draw is there also. So I bet acting like it didn't bother me at all.seat nine calls seat one calls and momma raises, I knew I suck bad. Seat 6 calls and I stupidly call because I have a flush draw. Everyone calls.River comes and its a 8club wow I suck. I check, seat nine check seat one check momma looks angry and checks but seat 6 goes all in for 2 bucks I look at john and say can I complete and he sup yup. Seat nine folds seat one folds momma sits around and debated in anger. She calls it and flips over her cards and show a flop top set of pocket 66.I showed my flush and took the whole thing. So yeah john may. Deal me awesome cards but he showed me I can play bad and suck out like the best of the donks on 4/8. With that hand it brought me up over 200. Yeah john may like the santi but he teaches me to be the super Donk.

Saturday Night At Capital Casino

Ok here is some hands from Sat night at Cap.

KJClubs on the big blind. I was on seat 8 and seat 1 raises there was about 3 callers and sb and me called. Flop comes j 72 with two clubs. Sb checks i check, seat one bets it goes call call fold SB raises??? This was where i wasn't sure what to do but i decided i better raise it also. So seat 1 calls one more caller other player folds seat one call. Turn was 5s, SB check i bet seat one call fold by the other player. River was 10d sb checks I bet call and call and i took down a decent size pot.

Another hand was AA SB. About 4 callers and i raise bb call everyone else calls. Flop comes 23k rainbow. I bet call call and then a raise by seat 5, seat 6 folds i re raise and the rest calls. Turn comes 5, I bet and it fold call call. River comes and it was 4. No flush but a straight got there. I bet and the other two players folded. It sure feels good when it holds and I'm not collecting 35.

Ok now the bad beat crap to vent. John my favorite dealer in the world always seem to give me some great cards but i always seem to get my ass creamed by it. So i always joke and say 3 bad beats from u and i am leaving. So at this point I'm up like 180 and this is the second hand he dealt me. I am under the gun plus one. And i get qq. Under the gun raises and i re raise and seat one calls seat 4 momma calls seat 5 calls and seat 7 the first raiser calls. Flop was j42 rainbow. Since the BB called he checks under the gun bets i raised it gets called all the way around. turn was 10. it went check check I bet call call call and the the the guy next to me folds in disgust. I'm thinking AK? river comes 8. possible straight but it would be ugly one but i decide to bet and it got called by the 3 players. I showed my qq, one player folds the other guy folds and momma finally acts and said what does he have john who is ready to push the pot said a over pair. She gets up and slowly move her card to the middle of the table and flips them over and i see 4,8 off suit. I looked and was like wtf is that? John kind of laughs and said 2 pairs and i said WHAT!!!!! He started to push the chips to her and she looks at me and said What? its the first hand i win since you got here!!!! I didn't mean to say anything but it just kind of came out. Cold calling 12 chips with off suited cards. I can understand when they say but they were soooted. But this was off suit not even really connected cards. WOW oh WOW is all I'm thinking.

The very next hand I get now from john was KK, I looked at my card and said damn i guess i have to steam raise this hand. and the guy next to me was like is that a real steam raise or u messing around and have a hand raise. I just looked at him and gave him the i dont know look. So he decide to call and all through the night he has been solid never really saw him play crap cards or anything. so he calls seat 1 calls momma calls and BB calls. Flop comes K106 BOOM!!!! YES BABY!!!!!. I bet and they all called. turn was 7 I bet seat nine call seat one call and momma folds and BB folds. I thinking pair me up for good measure. RIVER 8........... oh crap you got to be fucking with me!!!!!! But I bet and seat nine said raise fuck me !!!!!! then it got to seat 1 who also said re raise!!! FUCK ME IN THE ASS!!!!! I looked kept shaking my head and folded i told john look at what i got. old man in seat nine calls and he showed A9 off suit for the straight, seat one showed 3 9 suited for the straight also. Fuck me what the fuck draws are you two going for????? Oh well fucking ahole. What can I say. As i look at my chips i was up like 180 and now I'm like up like maybe 20 whole bucks. Thanks John buddy o pal.

But after that with some solid plays and ONE very bad Play and i was back up over 230 for the night all in about 2 1/2 hours of play.

Hands from Friday Night

Ok, I'm back and ready to blog about my hands from Friday night. I met up with the santi after work that night but he told me the 9/18 broke already for the day. That sucks ass, but even more weird is that it was a very slow night for them no list on anything at all. So when I got there i ate and the went to the 4/8 kill game. When i sat down i was under the gun and the dealer ask if i wanted a hand or wait till the blind pass. Normally I like to wait but since i ve been itching to play i decided to take a hand. So when i looked down i See pocket KK. I was like great first hand and i have to raise. So i raised it up and I got about 5 callers. Flop was q 9 6 rainbow. I bet and everyone called. turn was 2 and i bet and a couple people folded. River came 10 and i still bet out and got called by 2 players but lucky for me my hand was good.

Another hands was my flop quad hand. Chea the dealer was at the table and he was making the game fun. He would raise every hand and reraise anyone that would raise him or bet into him. So it made a interesting game. So i think I'm like either under the gun or plus one. I look down and see pocket 22. I debated a bit and was like great do i want to play this hand knowing it would be raised? So i made the crying call and about maybe 5 to the flop. I know it was me chea, tony, the guy to my left and someone else was in the hand. When the flop came i see a 2 in the window and i was debating how i should play this hand. But instead the flop was 262 oh oh........
What do i do???? If i be out now everyone may fold except for chea but if i let him bet I'm hoping everyone would call and build a bigger pot for me. I'm also the first to act so its at a disadvantage to me. If i bet everyone may just fold also. So i checked, guy next to me check, chea bets and tony of all people raises. next guy folds and now its on me I was like crap what do i do now if i raise the next guy may fold now or maybe chea will fold also and it will just leave tony and me. So i made a long slow call and the guy next to me fold and I think Chea calls. Turn was 5 and I checked. Chea says let me help u protect ur hand tony and he bets and now tony raises and I'm sitting like dude should i raise now???? I sat there and sat there and said OK raise it time and i graped a bunch off chips and started to put them out there but i notice opps!!!!! I dont even have enough to 3 beat !!!!!! Crap!!!! so I made a stupid call. River comes and it was a 5. SO i was like should i bet? and hopefully it goes call call? But instead i check and either chea or tony bets and i finally raised the hand. Chea calls and I'm not sure if Tony calls or not but he did show his pocket 10 10. I showed my hand and took down the pot.

So over all for the night I made about 140 i think. It was a table i like because i got to practice playing against a manic.

Whats been on my mind.

Well i haven't posted in a long while. So i felt today was a day i should do it. But I'm mostly posting just to get some frustration out. So here it is.... Its not poker related but I'm very distraught right now.....

today was the first day of E3.....

Microsoft had their announcement day and hold and behold Square Enix has officially pissed me off to no end. Call me a ps3 fan boy or what ever. But today Square has announce their flagship game is coming to the xbox. Final Fantasy 13 in no longer a PS3 exclusive. I couldn't believe it.... My heart just drop...... Kind of like getting dumb by your girl friend. I felt so betrayed, I admit i am a sony fan.... and I know they are getting killed by the xbox because of the head start the game system had, and the easier to program system. But i truly feel that the ps3 is a superior game system a true all in one game and home entertainment system. Microsoft has some exclusive titles like Halo and Gears of war. But lately alot of company been making games for both system and the bad thing is they would develop the game on the xbox and then port it over to the PS3 so in other words on the xbox the game runs smooth and awesome but when u just port it over the game doesn't seem to run as great on the ps3 and which makes it glitchy and not all that grand. Now Square has officially help Microsoft put the nails on the coffin.... The only exclusive game now is just metal gear which helped the sales of the ps3 but when FF13 was suppose to come out it would have brought along a wave of hard core gamers back to sony. But now Sony is left on its death bed. It has better step up and do something or Bill gates would be nailing in the nails that it has on the PS3 coffin.


Okay now to some poker info....

Well vegas came and gone and it sucks ass.
Here is just a short of what happen.
- 10/20 first day lost 700, 2nd day made 100, 3rd day made 200, 3rd day made 140, 4th day was about 500 plus. so over all about 240 plus profit.
-4/8 was about a 300 dollar profit.
-no limit was a -400 bucks, I just suck ass on it.
-8/16 was kind of up in the air because when i lost in no limit at harris i went to bellegio and lost there too but i added it all into the 8 /16 lost column for a total of 500 lost but in reality it may have only been about 250. but the second day of playing 8/16 i came up 500. so i know 8/16 is a plus 200 to 300.
-other table games and slot -300 to 400
- so gambling wise was i think a negative trip plus accounting for food and show tickets over all vegas costed me about 600 bucks.

Plus side of the whole trip i think i found a new degenerate gambling buddy in Ryan, since it seem like i gamble more with him than the santi!!!

After Vegas i played some capital and Cache creek. It was weird, it was a up and down gambling effort. First day at capitol i think i made about 150 or so.
Next day went to cache and made a hundred.
Then back to Cap for a 200 lost but I won High Hand for 200.
Then another Cap trip made me lose about 60.
Then it was back to the Creek for a lost of a 100 and in some where in between i lost about 140 at the creek also that was the day i thought santi was going to leave me there and i had to bum a ride off of someone.
which leads to last friday capital trip. Which was the only one i remember some hands in but i not quite clear on the detail. I went there early in the day and the 9/18 was going to run. But i could only play for a hour or so and i had to leave so i showed back up with the Santi and got back on the table. I ended up making 310 but at one point i was up like close to 560 or more. I just free fall and could not hold or kept losing to heads up play when i have tptk or over pair and they ran me down with a crappy 2 pair or something.
This Hand pretty much made my day.

Pocket KK on the BB and its kill. had about 4 limper's in the hand one was my buddy to my left a old friend on seat one name Greg and his buddy in seat 4 plus the small blind called to my right. When it got to me i raised. It got called called but seat 4 Greg buddy ask he raised? I reraise. I was like hmmmm the o limp and reraise the raiser play. SB folds it gets to me and i stake my chip up and Tim the dealer was like looks like its going up some more. my buddy to my left decides and thinks and i think he called it but I'm positive he folded, and so Greg was like will lets just cap it. I was like No Fucking way I am good. 9/18 and its killed so its basically 18/36 right now. I'm looking at my stack and i had at that point over 400 at that point. I was thinking it look like at the end of this hand i need to do a rebuy. Flop comes Q 9 6. with two spades. I bet, call raise i reraise call cap. I was like OK i think I'm done now I'm calling down. Turn was a 8c. I bet Greg calls his buddy raise and i was like shit I'm just going to call but my homie to my left said this.Oh he going all in jut raise it. I was like huh I couldn't see his chip stack at all so i ask Tim how much chips does he still have. So seat 4 raises his arm and i could tell he hardly has anything left so i reraised it and he went all in and Greg still calls. River was 4d i was like OK at least i hope i take the side pot so i bet out and Greg says take it i miss i was on the spade draw. So i took the small side pot and now for the main Pot i showed my kk, and seat 4 was like shaking his head up and down and turn his card over first card i see was Q and the next card was 7 i looked at the board and double look for that straight. But it turn out i took the how pot. WOW OH WOW at that point i was ready to leave. i was up almost 2 racks and i wanted to leave but i know it wouldn't be right. But as i keep playing i started to free fall with hands that either missed the nut flush or open ended straight to top pair top kicker losing to rag cards two pairs. Or High pocket pair not holding on when someone stayed to the river to hit their ace for a better pair. Well that's it for now i will try to remember more hands later.

Santi Sickness

OK I'm gonna make this sort because I'm pretty tired right now. Played from 12am to about 5Am. Had some good run and came up 468. But that paled compared to the Santi. I had a nice castle going with a 200 dollar buy in and was up 468. So that's was almost 700 in chips in front of me. Well All i can say is if i had a castle, Santi had a castle, Bridge, Moat, and sheit maybe even a village in front of him. If it wasn't for Han's the floor guy telling him he had to color up because he was invading both side of his neighbor personal space. THAT IS JUST PLAN SICK!!!!

Getting ready for non stop poker action!!!

For the last week or so since my schedule dosent allow me to play, I've been doing some reading and mentally preparing myself for a week of non stop poker action coming up when I leave for vegas. At first all I could find was hellmuth "play poker like a pro" but after some long searches I finally found skalansky small stakes holdem in my garage last week. I've read it through once last week and right now I've been concentrating a lot on per flop plays and flop plays. I know my biggest problem right now is my preflop play. I've got the "SAG" blood in me so a lot of cards looks good to me to play. But right now I'm really starting to understand proper cards and position of what to play. In vegas I got to step up my game. Even though I'm planning to play either 6/12 or 10/20 hold em mainly or 8/16 if they have it, I don't want to be the fish on the table. At the creek I'm usually the tag of the table unless the santi or Tony is at my table then they usually a lot more aggressive than me for some reason. But now I'm entering vegas when its the wsop happening and there's gonna be a lot of players there. And the worst thing that I want is to be painted the fish at the table when I want to be the shark.

Well hopefully all my reading isn't for nothing. I plan to play either sat night or sun before I leave for my poker extravaganza.

So hopefully I learned from my reading and imporove on 3 of my greatest weakness.
-selecting proper playing cards to play
-know my position and not limp in with crap cards.
-Raise or fold should be my main options preflop.

Cache Creek Round 2

As I said I was planning on going back to the creek today and I did. Funny thing though was when I got there there was like 3 tables running of 4/8 and a list of 20 people waiting for a seat. So I went to grab a bite to eat and when i returned the list didn't change. Since all the chairs were taken and i didn't feel like standing and wait, I went to my car to take a nap.

Fast forward two hours........

Its now Midnight and i woke up from my nap. I went downstairs and saw 5 tables running with no list. COOL..... Now I'm refresh and i sit right into a open seat. After 3 table breaks and drawing the worst cards for the open seats at another table I think i played like a total of 4 1/2 hours with a profit of $390 at the tables. Not bad if i do say so myself. I didn't start to run good till my 3rd table when i went on a heated and won like 4 hands in a row twice. That felt great.... But kind of bad because I had crap cards and was winning with them. But what can I say....

Well most of my hands went pretty standard last night. My first table I would win a hand and then lose the very next hand with top 5 playing cards. It made it look like I was way too aggressive. But hey i am not limping in with aces or ak like most donks at the creek.

One hand That i was pretty pissed off with was pockets 8 on the bb. Alot of callers and we saw the flop of 987 rainbow. I did a check raise but a player on seat 8 reraised me and we capped it to the turn. 3 players to the turn now. I'm thinking pair the board pair the board. Turn comes 9 BOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I check and the next player bets. Seat 8 raises and when it came to me I reraised. The that player i think he was seat 4 or 5 thought about it and folded the hand in frustration. Seat 8 caps it and we are heads up. River 2..... BAM baby i think i have the total lockdown on this hand. I bet out seat 8 raises, I reraise, and he reraised it right back to me.... I'm like in total awe..... Damn it did he flop 2 pairs and turn a bigger boat than me???? Its heads up and we can keep raising all we want, but now i decided to just call. He shows..... and I was about to shit in my pants when he turn over 92 for a bigger boat!!!!! That's so sick i was puking all over the guy next to me!!!! He went crazy with 9,2 !!!!!!!! WTF!!!!! ARE U shitting me!!!!!!

Well i will blog more later I'm fallng asleep right now.

Cache creek blog while waiting for a seat.

Well that's right I'm blogging while I'm waiting for a seat. I got here around 2am and there was 3 tables plus a list. So I thought not bad it may last for a while. But as the first seat open up, they called and called till it was my turn. So I guess no waited around. So as I sat down there was some chips flying, nice pots and lots of action. Too bad I was card dead. I only played my blinds for the first 4 orbits and I never saw past the flop. Till this hand came up.

On the button with kj of spades. 3 limpers so I raised. 5 players to the flop. Flop is j54 two hearts. Good flop I think. It gets checked till it reached seat one who donk bet into me. I raised and he reraised and I capped it. I'm thinking man I hope he is on a flush draw and didn't flop a set or two pairs. Turn comes 9club not bad no strait or flush. Checks to me I bet and only he calls. River comes ace heart. Worst card ever. He checks and I checked and I showed my kj and he flips over AQ of spades??? That threw me off big time I was like wow u donk bet me with a bluff. But the guy turn out kind of cool. He thought I was a tight player and said he thought I raised with ak. I said well I still had you beat if that was true. He didn't expect me to have those cards. I'm like that's cool w/e. Well the table breaks after a few hands and we had to draw cards. I drew first and I get the 2 diamonds the lowest of the low I think. Well look like I'm next now they called the other three players now and looks like I'm next. Well hopefully that is.

Well that table didn't last too long as i sat down 3 players left. Only one other player was on the list so its 7 handed and this table had alot of donks and my hated female player that I don't know her name but she was almost busto. But as i sat down she won 4 hands in a row. She rebuilt her stack pretty quick. Now one of my favorite dealers sat down and started to deal. Soucho last time I played killed me pretty badly. But hopefully not this time. So its a kill and I'm under the gun? Well I'm first to act and I looked down and see KK so i raised it up. Only my nemesis who's the killer and the BB called which is a donk too. I think her name is sue, not the sue that plays at capital but i different sue that's normally at the creek alot. Well the flop comes and its queen high rainbow. Checks to me and i bet and they both folded. Not bad I think keep this up soucho.

Now I am in the bb and i looked down to see AK off suit. Everyone limps and i raised. All called, flops comes 7 5 2 rainbow. sb checks I bet 3 callers. Turn 10, SB bets into me and I paused and looked at Soucho and he smirks and shakes his head, I laughed and said i guess im no good now and fold. 2 callers and the river came q. Momma bets and one my nemesis calls. And sb shows 10 7 for two pairs and take down the pot. Well I thought Soucho liked me but i guess he still favors the santi.

Well a player left and now were 6 handed. Sb I get 10 8 suited and with a flop of 79A. I bet out and get 2 callers, Turn comes another A this is were I'm not sure if i played this right but i decided to check since there was two callers and either one could have a Ace in there hand. Seat 2 bets and seat 3 calls and I called. Maybe I should have folded?? But i blanked out the river and seat 2 bets and seat three folds and so do I. Seat two laughs it up a bit and showed ace duece off. Well he was ahead the whole way. But bad turn call? I gotta ask the santi.

Now I'm on the Button and its 5 handed, one player got up to go smoke. I looked down to see pocket 6. This is another question I have, 5 handed and I get pocket pair on the button first to act folds next Sue calls and now its on me I decided to raise. Too spewey? SB and BB calls and so does sue. flop comes AJQ. Argh..... that was pretty bad flop. All check to me and I bet and all called. Yikes!!!!! Not good! The Turn is 8, SB checks BB bets out. Sue calls and I fold and SB folds. River i think made a possible flush but sue didn't call. BB showed 10,9 off for a straight. But over all Makes me wonder was that a preflop call or raise? In my mind that should be a easy raise especially short handed. But Maybe not. Another santi question for him to ridicule me on.

Well after that a couple more orbits pass and the table breaks and I'm down 8 bucks for the night. I cashed out but One thing i did which was bad was The creek has this new slot machine that has EBAY on it. while I looked at it I just had to throw in a 20 bucks in it to try it out. The machine has been crowded most of the night since i guess alot of people wanted to try it out. Well so did I. A few pulls later and I saw a old asian lady started to scream, She sat right next to me and her friends were around her while she was playing and she hit a nice little jackpot for about 1200 bucks. Good for her, Fuck me, for picking the wrong seat to sit in. Well my 20 bucks went fast and I picked up a rockstar to drink on the way home. I plan on playing again today so hopefully this time it will go better.

Lates All.

What have I been up to? Well pretty much I haven't played much in a while and when I have its been a spanking.I think the last four trips has been losers so yeah it sucks big time ass. Also been a little rusty since I haven't played all to often.

My last session I actually came up for once for about a 60 dollar profit. Considering the trip before I drop 180, and who knows how much I drop before that and I think it was 200 or something like that. Just running bad I guess. During these time when I run bad I need to cut my bleeding more. I need to continue the same play and not play scared. When I play scare I'm not maximizing my profit when I do win a hand.

So on my last session I was sitting at oppisite table with the santi. When I sat down I was enjoying my table it was truly a donk fest. Big pots with a lot of callers. It was music to my ears seeing so many callers. But with so many callers my hand were not holding. I was losing with ak aq kk jj 1010 just couldn't maintain my lead after the flop. Next thing I know I had bought in for 360.intill I won 5 hands in a row. Most of it from a asian momma sitting on seat one that the santi kept telling me to go after. That sick bastard.

The one hand I remembered that got me back was it was like my 3rd win and I was still the killer.I get J4 off. The button had just pass me. It was 4 to the flop. Flop is j83. It gets check to me and I bet. All called. Turn was a queen. Checks to me and I continue to fire and they still all called. I'm sitting there thinking I'm way no good now. River was a blank not sure what it was but it get checked to me and I said I check I only have a jack with no kicker. Then I saw everone fold. I was like wow are you kidding me? 28 bucks preflop. 32 flop and 64 bucks on the turn and no one can beat a jack with no kicker wow oh wow I love it.

Cache Creek 3/31/08

Well I haven't played in a while, just been doing tons of house work. Spending money like it grows on trees also. But i finally have some time to play, which i did, but not a long session at all. I didn't get there till about 430. I had just found out that the aces crack promotion is only 50 bucks now. There prize pool is shrinking. They use to give out 100 bucks for aces crack and in the day time till 6pm 2500 for quads. But even that drop down to 1000 now. So it really changes things now Especially how to play aces now. When I played I played for about 3 hrs before going on a dinner break and played another 3 hours after that. I wrote this in a email to Tony and I just decided to copy and paste how my session went. I will also add a couple hands later on.

Its a tale of two story's. First table before i went on a dinner break.
Kill SuperDonk part one. "FOLD CITY"
3.5 hours plus 65. hands played? At most 8 including the blinds. I got raised on my blinds so much. it was a fold fest. the blinds i got to see i wiffed. Raised with ak only had it once at this point everyone folded. raised with kq suited 2 callers flop q58 two spades. turn qhearts river k boat only one caller. I got a bb fuck me over. 56 suited about 7 to the flop. flop comes 55k rainbow. i check under the gun bets everyone calls. turn 9s two spade now. I check under the gun bets all call when it hits me i check raise. all called. river qs. sb donk bets i call everyone else folds. sb shows j10s for the flush. OUCH!!!!

Kill Superdonk part 2 "The Gamble Table and the Mama that spank me to a fetal position."
3.5 hours -$85 bucks argh.......... As i return back from dinner i got placed to the only table still running. And with in the first 5 hands I notice something. I'm the only one folding and they all playing. If some one raises It gets capped. I stood up walk back to the front of the poker room and checked. AM I BACK AT CAPITAL CASINO?????
But nope i was where i was suppose to be. I was like that's fine.... I like this its 8 aggressive calling station donks and me The Superdonk. As i was folding every single hand i was talking to the guy to my left. He says dude you keep folding everyone know what u going to have if you play or raise. change it up man its only 4/8. I was like OK fine I play the next hand as long as it doesn't get raise. So I'm in the middle position and i looked down to see a8of clubs. Not bad...Normally a hand i play in late position, a little spewy to call this at my position but i thought OK decent enough to call I sure wasn't going to call some off suited crap card. So as everyone calls the good ol bb raises. And the guy next to me said come on guys i got him to play a hand don't raise it on him. so as everyone is calling i call and the bastard that sitting next to me said you know guys, my philosophy is if someone raise i gotta re raise. WHAT A ASS!!!!!!!! Everyone calls and i am sitting there looking like a ass. Flop come 258, My buddy bets all call I raise. All call. Turn 8 I bet all call. I was like what the hell. River q I bet and all fold. I took down a nice pot for playing like a donk.

So its back to folding when i get this hand on the BB its past 10 and aces crack is over. I look at two red aces. As people where limping in the button raises sb re raise and I'm like wow 3 bet 2 called button cap's and all called. Flop is q 23 two spades. I looked at momma on the button and she did the double look at her card I put her on the spade draw maybe the nut flush draw. sb bets i raise the two other callers fold momma rereaise. sb starts talking aw man I'm behind huh i have to call i got too much invested. he calls i cap it. Turn 9h Sb check i bet momma raise he call i re raise momma call he calls. River Q spades FUCK ME!!!!! SB check i check momma bets sb raises i fold mamma calls. Sb Shows q6 off for trip queens. Momma show k10spades. for the flush. WTF!!!! SHE RE RAISE WITH K10 preflop with those cards!!!! FUCK ME!!!!!!!

A few hands later. I'm in button position and it gets capped before it reaches me. I have AK SPADES family pot. Flop comes k103 two spades. bb bets middle raises momma re raise i capped. all call still family 9 handed. turn 7clubs? bb bets people start dropping momma raise i went into the tank raise or just call does momma have aces? does bb have aces or kings? I have top pair and nut flush draw. I call bb re raise momma cap's DAMN!!!! river............7spades ARGH IT PAIRED THE BOARD AND HIT MY NUT FLUSH DRAW!!!!!!!!! BB bets momma raise FUCK ME!!!! I CALLED MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE FOLDED? BB CALLS. MOMMA SHOWS POCKET KINGS FOR THE BOAT. I FOLD and BB fold. HUGE FUCKING POT HUGE HUGE HUGE!!!!! I just sit there looking like a donk. F ME And the game continues like that with me folding till it broke up at 1230.

First winning session in a long ASS time.

Cache Creek +170 for about 4 1/2 hrs


This is going to be short Its late and i am tired. Pretty much i ran pretty good today i had aces cracked for a rack! hit some big kill pots and made some soul reading and calling with my cards for the win. I did lose some big pots also but i will write about that later. The only thing I can say is Cache just changed their aces crack promotion and it only run till 10pm now. Which sucks ass!!!!!!!!. I love it when it ran till Midnight!!!!!!.


Ok Im back and heres a hand from playing.
QJD its a kill pot. I called and about 4 to the flop. The come ad 8d 4s I think. the killer bets and i called and dealer botton calls. This is were i debeated to raise or not but at my position i thought i was just in the wrong spot. Im in the middle and i could be caught in a raise war. turn was another blank and the killer bets and it went call call. river i hit the 6d Booyah!!!!! I finally hit a card. the killer checks i bet and the button calls saying he had two pairs. I showed my cards and took down the pot. I only wish i had position then i could have raised the flop and took control of the hand.

February is busto Month

Well I havent blogged much for the month because I was going busto everytime I played. Hand werent holding up at all. When I start off ok it ends up being bad beated by some one playing random two cards and Cracking my set or tptk. So it was a bad month for me. But im still improving my game even when I am not catching my card or getting my cards rapped by someone else catching some goofing running straight or flush. So instead of posting bad beats time after time again I will try to write some good hands i played right or hands I think i played wrong and looking for comments......... NAH!!!! This is the super donk if i dont post some fuck upbad beats then its just not the donk tard i am.

My last trip at capital this hand came up. This is right after tony left and Jeff buddy i call him the protege came and sat at his seat. The very second hand that he is delt with, i looked down and see AQ of spades. I raised and he reraise and i decide to cap it. about 4 to the flop. the flop K96 all spades. I bet he raise, i reraise and it gets capped. the turn 5 I bet out and he raises again saying if your going to draw out on me im going to make it expensive. Im think huh????? i got the nuts right now so it looks like you got the flopped set. I reraise and it gets capped. River all i know is avoid pairing the board.......5 sskjdkjfjfhjvnjdnvjdhkjvhjdfvnjdvnjkzv GOD DAMN IT!!!! this is where it went all hazy..... i forget if i betted or just checked and i called but when he turn his card over with a big grin i knew i was a goner........his pocket KK for the WIN!!!!
DAMN I AM GOOOOOOOD I cant holdup for one min!

Well as you can see its the life and times of the donktard!!!!!

Busto!!!! At the Phoniex 2/9

4/8 plus a 1/2kill: TP = -369 TT: 6.5 Hrs

Thats right Baby BUSTO, almost 400 lost i did a double count on my wallet and at first i thought i dropped 500 but I was lucky I still have 300 in my wallet. Argh so so frustrating. Missed with every small pair possible. Got slapped in the face with any big pair. AK? shit I might as well raised with 27 off suit. It felt like i was in it too get wipped and spanked and sent home like a little hoe. When I thought I hit the flopped it just ment I was third best on the flopped. Thats how bad I was. Tonight it even teased me thinking I was going to win a hand.

Pocket 10 in the half kill. I raised preflop. got called by I think 3 other players. Flop comes A 10 7 and I see a 10 in the window making me think BOOYA I got this shit wrapped up. I bet and got called by 2 players. Turn: J I bet and I got raised ?????? KQ????? I called and I am thinking pair the board pair the board just pair anything out there Please just give me one hand to win let me feel like a winner just on time PLEASE!!!!!!!!! River:........................................3 dsfjkdsjflksdjfiosjfdjfkljfklsjdfsdjfkljafljashgokdjaskljgkad;kfjkdjgajsdlkj ARE U FUCKING SHITING ME !!!!!! fnjnljdfjnjdjnljngjnsbkjghbhfnalkmekdsmsfnjhngfnj Mother of all nghjdfnvljdnfjnvjkdfndvfvnlnfvjnfsdfjvnfvbakf.

Yes I called.... he shows 89 for the straight. Just one time damn it!!!!!

Another hand that hurts me but at least this hand went to the SANTI.
QQ. the santi is to my right and he raises. I looked down and see my two hunies and I reraised. The santi calls and about 4 or maybe 5 to the flop. The flop is AAK WHIFF..... like no other Muther....... Santi checks and I bet, Gets called and the santi raises. Now Im in the Tank...... Santi AK? One more ace and We could have a jackpot hand. So I called. Turn is a J. santi still bets and I think for ever.Is it worth it? 10 gives me a straight. q gives me a boat, A gives us potential jackpot. so I called just praying and praying Please santi have AK and give me a A on the river. The River: K Fkljdjkfhfdsljhsfjlsdhfjkhsdjkfhdfkjsjkdfhshfj FUCKING AHole dhfjfjhdfjhsdhfjdshfjkdshfsjkahfkjhaa JUST ONE MUTHA FUCKING TIME fjkjdfhgjdffjkhadskjflksjfdkjdaghksjfhsjahfnhjkdhafihasgdfyd......... Santi bets and I fold and anther player called and all santi is thinking hes chopping with some one. but he is takes it all.

Well running bad is the second part of my middle name. When i run bad i go all out no half assing it.

2/2 Capital Casino 4/8 kill: TP = -60 TT: 8.0 Hrs
2/7 Cache Creek 4/8 kill: TP = +225 TT: 8.5 Hrs

I will blog about some hands later. Just got back from the creek and did ok. Still Playing like a Donk, I tried playing tight but i was getting crack left and right so I really losen up and started to win hands. Not good play because it will mean in the long run im going to bleed all my chips away and get caught in some kind of marginal hand thats going to kill me later. But the good news is I finally got pocket AA twice tonight, after 5 or 6 sessions of not even seeing them once, and I logged on some good hours of playing too. Too bad they didnt win me much and I never got them crack for a rack. First one was a ok size pot I think I made about 45 bucks and the second was horrible. Under the gun and I limpped and all fold except the big blind which was stuck in the hand. The flopped came and i took it down.

More to come later.

Cache Creek 1/28

4/8 kill: TP = -240 TT: 3 Hrs


Thats right I ran horrible. But i played decent. No Super donk today, it was try to play solid all the way through. But I was place in a tight table tonight. When I got to the table There was what maybe one loose player there. But as the Superstar joined my table, It got ultra tight where it was mostly 3 to the flop if that. Pots were like 10 bucks at most. It was horrible. It didnt help when I had a millions outs on the flop but i completely missed everything. I flopped a few open ended draws that missed everything. Flopped top pair top kicker and got ran down by two pairs. Flopped nut flush draws and wiffed. had big pocket pairs only to win me small pots.

Heres one. Pocket qq raise preflop maybe 3 callers. But i think only 2 called. Flop 10 10 10. I bet fold fold call. turn was a blank, bet fold.
Next hand kk . I watch it get folded all the way to me. i raise and fold fold only stealling the blinds but i now made it a kill pot losing 8 chips, so i won 6 lose 8 for a negative 2 dollar. Awesome huh.

Heres one where the pot was a decent size. k 10 off in the small blind. about 4 or 5 to the flop. Flop is k,10, 7, I bet I believe 3 callers. turn j I bet seat 1 raises. Another player called, I called. River J. I check mamma bets One caller I fold. She shows aq for the straight.

Heres a hand where I thought I had a death grip to win. I raise with AJdiamonds. about 3 or 4 callers. Flop come As 5d 4d, I bet called called. Turn 6 clubs I bet and it gets raised and call, I call. River 7 c "WHIFF!!!!!!!"Did you feel that???? Yes that was me missing a bajillion outs there.
It was like the 5th time tonight that I missed my outs. Mamma who raised had 56 seat 3 had A5 for the winning hand. It felt like the Playoff where I go 0 for 13. Im that good people, only a pro like me can wiff everything he can like I do. DONT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS!!!! Let a train professional play bad.

Well thats all for tonight. I fell like webber playing another season when we all know its time to retire.

Cache 1/23 & 1/24

4/8 kill: TP = +575 TT: 6.5 Hrs
4/8 kill: TP = +360 TT: 6.0 Hrs

All Hail the Donk the Donk has rtnd!!!!!
Thats pretty much all I can say. I played like a donk and won.
Does that mean im going to keep playing like that? NO But for some unknown reason i played like howed i played back in the 3/6 days. Playing alot of hands and was lucky to win.
Maybe I went into poker overload. Too much poker in a short period of time to reflect how i played. All i can justified is i just wanted to play hands and alot of them. I was lucky to scrape out wins. The worst part, I dont even know what hands i played and won with. I did hit quads again. I think this is the 4th straight trip i hit quads. I do remember my beats.... but why talk about that. it seem like my beats were the hands i played right and the hands i won were hands i dont want to remember playing at all. Well thats all for now. It been 3 days of no poker lets see how i do tommorrow.

Cache Creek 1/21

4/8 kill: TP = +138 TT: 4.5Hrs

Man all I can say is I ran horrible for like the first 2 hours. Actually No. I cant say that. I did flop quad 8 in one of the first hands I played. But after that it went down hill fast. Before I know it I had bought in for 300 already. But lucky the pain stopped there and I started to swing and won some hands.

The Quad hand.
I had pocket 88 in either the small or the big blind. I believe someone raises and I called. Flop was K88. Wow what do i do? I checked and lucky some one bets out, and I called I think it was 4 players calling. Turn was a blank I check but this time it checked around. River is where I bet out. And One caller, I flipped my cards and said I got the Nuts. The superstar i thought he said something like dont be a ass and say that but i think once he saw the cards he was like oh yeah that is the nuts.

This hand made me do my first rebuy.
55 sb. Player to my left seat 5 raises preflop and about 4 or 5 to the flop. Flop comes 5qj. I checked raiser bets out seat 9 raises i reraise and it gets capped. Turn 10 i bet out seat 4 calls and seat nine raises. And the only thing in my mind was AK? I called and the river was a 8. I checked checked seat nine bets i looked at my chips and i had like 12 more chips so i said well im raise it all in for 4 more. Seat 5 calls and nine calls. I said well AK? he said yup and showed his ak. Seat 5 shows pocket kk. I was like wow how does seat nine raise the flop on a gutty. He must be physcic and knows what cards is coming.

This hand got me thinking huh????
I get ajdiamonds on the bb.
I raised and get like 5 callers or something like that. Flop was J high I bet out and all called. Turn was 10 I still bet out and like 3 callers. River K. I checked and it gets checked around I showed my AJ and seat one flips his cards and showed AJ also. But for some Unknown evil reason seat six shows k5 off to win the pot????? I was like you got to be kidding is there no respect? You call me with just one over card from the flop and turn????? At least make them soooted you bastard. Well I was just a little bitter at that.

After that I dont know what hands I won with.
One last hand.
I had pocket 8 or 9 I forget. But I think they were 8 on the dealer button I believe. I cant remember really "Superstar some help?" I raised preflop and gets called like by 4 other players i believe, flop is 456. Seat 5 bets out and it was call call call?and to me I reaised. Back on seat 5 and he reraised. oh oh, Flopped straight? 2 pairs? Set? i called and i think it was 3 handed to the turn. Turn comes J. Seat six checks and it checks around and i was like huh???? U can bet out the flop and reraise me but cant bet the turn?? So I bet out. and they called. river J I really have no idea where i stand so when it was checked around i checked also and took down the pot. Seat 5 was raising me with 62 top pair and gutty to the as end straight. Lucky me i guess hehehehehe. Got to love em cc players.

Cache Creek 1/20

4/8 kill: TP = +360 TT: 3Hrs

Decided to go up to the creek, Left the house at 1230 am, And got there around 130am. They had 4 tables running so i figure good I can get a good 5 to 6 hrs of play tonight then go home sleep for like 5 hrs go to work and come back again. But after 3 hours I thought I think its a good time to go. My second table is about to break and theres only 2 seats for the last remaining table.

Well what can I say. Ran pretty good. Still lost with AK and AQ tonight. But won some Kill pots that help me get up. Here are some hands.

Second hand of the night I get QQ on the bb. I raised and got called by 4 players. At my table were the papa that killed my KK on the kill pot from my last trip and the ex dealer who use to work at the creek but now only his wife does. Both players are in the hand. Flop was J85, not a bad flop to me. I bet and only those two calls. turn K, I bet and they still called. River 3. I check and they both checked. I showed my queens and the ex dealer shows k4 and the Asian papa shows k2, Wow thanks guys for calling me with crap off suit cards. Whats awesome was the 4 kicker plays.

First winning hand is KK on the BB and its kill. flop k94 two spades, I bet out and got raised by the killer, he has button. I re raised and he just calls. 3 to the turn. Turn A, I bet call and the killer debates and starts saying i put u on ak and I flop two pairs too. Now you have a better two pairs. He thinks and thinks and decide to throw his cards away. River J, I bet and other person folds. GOOD!!!!!!! it holds!!!!!!!!!!

From that point on I was doing OK for a bit, lost some hands win some hands. Till I went on a 5 hand winning streak that pushed me way up.

First hand I'm in seat 8 in a new table. Seat 6 has been solid and aggressive. Seat six had just won a hand and he says under the gun. I want to be the killer and raises. I looked down to see kq of spades. I was debating to raise or not but decided to call to see where i stand. 5 callers oh theres one mamma and 2 guys that seem to call every hand and see the river all the time but either fold or call the river. Flop comes k98with one spade. He bets out and I decide to raise to see where i am at. everyone calls and back to him he re raise, I decided oops i better just call he either has ak. Turn q He bets and i decide to raise again, they all call and back to him he raises again. Oops I guess he flop a set? I call and they call. River was a 3 he bets out and i call and the rest folds. He says good call, eek..... he had said that every time he won a hand. He flips over and shows AQ. I show my cards and took down a nice pot. I got lucky I played that bad I think.

Second hand Ad 10d, Under the gun folds and now its on me and I raised, I got called by the 3 calling stations. flop comes q78 all diamonds. BOOM. This is where Im not sure if i should slow play it or play it strong but i decide to play it Strong all the way. I bet and only seat 3 one of the calling station called. Turn KD eek!! I think that all but killed my action. I even made a face too showing that it was the worst card for me to come out. I wasn't even intending to either but when it came i was like CRAP no way he calling Now. with what a j high flush at most. So i bet and he keeps thinking. I was like dude if u got a diamond u must know its no good. So he folds showing his cards. he had KQ black cards. He said if i checked he would have bet out the river. I was like yeah right. U cant play that bad can u?

3rd hand Well Now its killed. I get 107 off on the kill button. 5 to the flop. Flop is 337. Hmmm. Not bad. BB checks and I bet and all called. hmmmmm That doesn't help cant tell where I am at. Turn 7. BOOM!!!! Checks I bet all call. River A Checks I bet Mamma raises????? fold fold fold back to me. I think and decide re raise. She calls. And i showed my boat and she showed just a 3 and no idea what the other card was. Bamn nice pot.

4th hand: Killer I get 89 clubs. Flop comes 7 6 j with 2 clubs. Club draw and open ended?. I bet momma raises. fold and one calls and i decide to call. Turn 8h now it pairs one of my cards with the club draw and I still have a straight draw. River 9 ewwwww....... Now I got 2pairs. Ugly. now a 10 wins it with a straight. I say Check call. She still bets and I call. She shows Pocket AA. Booya what a way not to raise preflop with aces but can raise the flop.

5th hand: with 63 clubs still killed. 4 callers. flop is 478 one club. I check mamma bets we all call. Turn 5 clubs BOOM!!!!! I hit my gutty and got a club draw too. I check mamma bets One call, next fold fold I raise. River it pairs the board. I bet and call call. I showed my straight and its good!!!!!

Just a note the 6th hand i had 10 3 off, with the flop of a73 I folded to a bet but turns out turn was a 10 If i called to see the turn i would have won again. hehehehe. I think I played bad enough all ready.

After that got a bunch of small pairs that I called to see the flop but was no good. After another player left it was 6 handed and another player was getting ready to leave too, Soucho just told me to rack up and leave and I was like you know what thats a good idea. Im not good short handed like the superstar so lets not bleed to chips away. And I played to my BB and left.

Cache Creek My Last 3 Trips

Ok here is how my last three trips went I havent had much time to write it so im putting it all together in one large blog.

(1/10) 4/8 kill TP= -340 TT: 5 hrs
(1/10) 3/6 TP = -80 TT:1 hr?
(1/16) 4/8 kill TP = -100 TT 3 hrs.
(1/17) 4/8 Kill TP = +380 TT 6 hrs.

Overall a total swing of - 140 for the last three trips.

All I can say is when I run bad I run Bad! The first 2 trips I was not holding up at all. I must have gotten AK, AQ so many times those two night but not one of them held up. In fact I missed the flop completely and I was C betting and still got called down But I guess my mistake was not betting out the turn. I was told that it either make you or break you then. And since i just cbet and check the turn it gave the other players a chance to take over the hand from me. It just seem like i bleed all my money away. I must have raise kill pot alot with my cards but swing and a miss them all. So when your getting like AK or AQ and raising at least 15 times though out the night and miss them all your gonna run bad.

This part was written while I was at work. This was 1/16 trip.
I started off pretty good. I had KK against this aggressive lady. She capped pre flop with 64 she hit a 4 on the flop bets into me, I raise and she caps it. Turn she checks I bet and she calls and the river paired the middle card that was flop which was a 7. She bets out I called and it went show down I didn’t raise because there was 2 others in the hand also so I had no idea what they were drawing to but the Superstar was saying ur good.

I hit another big hand against her with QQ against her TT, but lost a stupid size pot where I should have realize she flopped it. I raise pre flop with AK and flop comes A34. She bets out I raise she reraise and it gets capped. Turn was a blank she bets I called. River K she bets I raise but she thought I only called and she showed her straight with 25 soooted. So she was nice enough just to call. So she left and I'm up around 90 bucks.

That’s when everything went down hill. I got 66 in the SB. Dealer button raises I called, flop comes ak6. I’m first to act so I was like, “check raise time”. So I checked but it gets checked around. I was like WTF????? Turn was a 7 or something, so I bet out and gets called and river was a J. I bet out he finally raise. But I was like u got a straight? Hit your set of JJ? I just call. He turn his cards over and showed KK for a flopped Set. Ouch!!! Wow he saved me money!!!

Then I proceeded to raise with AK AQ a lot and missed everything. I raise like at least 4 kill pots with those cards and miss everything. I C-Bet and still got called and turn I had to check. The Superstar was like you need to fire out again. The Turn is where you make or break your hand. Everyone knows that C-Bet is coming but when the turn comes to you and they still checking bet out and if they raise you can fold. If they call you can get a river card and check down.

One kill pot the superstar said I played really bad. I get AQos. I raised and gets called by the killer and another person. Flops come Q73 all hearts. Killer bets out other player called and I called. He said I need to raise there because he says I am ahead. I was like I don’t know. Turn another heart hits and the killer still bet out, other person calls I fold. The river blanks. Show time was killer had Ah JS so he hit the flush on the turn Santi said see your way ahead on the flop. But I was like even if I raise he still calling with the nut flush draw. He says regardless you don’t know and you need to maximize, what if the heart never came on the turn. You made it cheap for him to call. I could have controlled the hand and got a free river card. He may have checked to you on the turn and you get to see the river for free. And he bets then you could have folded. But I said well I save 8 bucks. He says if you don’t play it right then don’t play the hand.
It’s all about post flop plays. Well after that it just went worst and worst. I won some very small pots like 10 bucks and stuff but the big hands were all a swing and a miss. They had 2 tables running but by 9 o’clock the table was down to 4 handed and it broke.

I will Write about My 1/17 trip tommorrow or sometime soon its getting late and I have to be at work soon.

Cache Creek (1/8)

4/8kill: TP = -99 TSP = 5 Hrs



It was a horrible night, I arrive with the superstar around 730 - 8pm. We sat at different tables and I ran so bad it wasnt even funny. The only positive was i feel like i played good, its just my cards didnt hold up. All I can say is seat 7 had my number all night, whoever sat there beat me so bad that you wouldnt even be able to recognize me if you saw me.



The first guy in that seat had me beat the whole time.

Four hands that he had all kill me and remember this is aces crack you shouldnt be raising with aces but he did.

AA> Ak

AA > AQ

AA > QQ

AA > JJ

In each of these flop i had either flopped top pair or had a over pair. So it costed me money the whole time.



The second guy that sat there caught runner runner on me on almost every hand I rasied. It was like i feed him my chips and he passed it back out to everyone else on the table. I could not hold Up even if my life depended on it.



Since I have so many bad beats I will only talk about one hand where it wasnt really a bad beat.

I was just behind the whole way.

AKh i believe I was sb or bb i forget. Seat 7 raise preflop. I reraise and he caps. It was 4 to the flop.

FLOP: Ks Jh 9h

Booya!!!!!! top pair with the nut flush draw!!!!!

I bet out got called seat seven raise, I reraise, And it get capped.

In my mind seat 7 must have AA or something.

Three to the turn.....

TURN: Kd

I checked, nextplayer checked and seat seven bets out. I raised him and thenext player went into the tank and thought about it and calls and seat seven just calls. I thought yup seat 7 must have AA if he had anything better he would have reraised me. River a blank.

I bet and they eventually called.

I Showed my trip k

guy next to me showed Pocket 99 for a full house 9 over kings.

Seat 7 shows pocket jj for Jacks over Kings.

Opps!!!!!!! I was way behind the whole time.

Wow I SUCK BIG TIME.



Considering I ran bad the whole night and only came down $99 bucks I didnt think I Played that bad. I made right raises when I should. Made the right lay down. And won alot of small pots that kept me in it the whole night. I lost alot of big pots. If seat seven was never there I think I would have been up for the night. But like i said Im the superdonk I wish I run better

Jackson Casino (1/7)

1/2NL: TP= +364 TSP = 3hrs.

Well I went up to meet the Superstar and his friend at Jackson. His friend Todd busted out and was playing online tournaments even before I got there. Since this was my first time playing live NL i asked the Superstar for some basic bet numbers and type of cards that can be called since in Limit you can just only call either 4 or 8 but in no limit any hand could cost you your whole buy in. So the first real hand I played came in around 5 minute of sitting down. I got AK and I raised to 10. Got called by couple people and the flop comes all Middle cards dont remember what bet it was a 10 high flop. I cbet and got called by one player. Turn a Ace came, I bet 20 into the pot and got called. The river comes another Ace. I bet out 30 and he raised me another 50 more. I was like huh??? Did he boat up? so I made the call and turn out he was just trying to bluff me out of the hand. I don't even think he had anything he showed but i don't remember what he had. I was like in aww and thought wow so this is whats its going to be like. So that hand made me up about 100. I started to call alot of hands that shouldn't have. And cbet too much when I missed the flopped too. Things where it was costing me money. But I was still learning.

Next hand I won was on the BB with K5 off. it was limped around with about 4 to the flop. The flop come k54 , I thought well I better bet and not slow play this because someone with a better king my catch a better 2 pairs. So i bet out 15 into the pot. And got raised. I re raise back but i think i only min re raise because my numbers where all off. And he pushed all in. I call and showed my 2 pairs. He showed pocket AA. wow what a terrible no raise preflop. If he had raised i wouldn't even have called. Well the turn comes K and i got a boat and it holds up. Man Jackson players......... What can I say =)

The next hand I played was JJ. I was either BB or under the gun I don't remember. But i know I raised preflop to 15. And I got called by 3 Players. the flop comes AQJ. I bet out 30 and got called by one player. The turn is a 6, I bet 50 and he calls fast. The river comes 6 so that fulls me up. I quickly say 100 as the dealer had barely place the last card and he snapped called me even before i finish putting out my chips i was like oh oh does he have a better boat than me? I showed and he mucked his card. Wow Jackson casino players makes me wonder.

Lost a few hand that I thought I should have won but what can i say no respect for the super donk. Over all NL was very slow moving and makes you think. I have tons to learn still but it was fun.

O one final hand to mention. Q3 of clubs on the small blind. Forgot how many players limped in but i called for another buck. flop was something like 4c 8h 10c. i know there was a 4c for sure and 2 clubs on the board. I checked and player in seat 5 bets $5. Couple players called and I called. Turn was another miss for me. And he bets another 5 bucks. I was the only caller i believe. And river comes kc yes I got the second ut flush and i bet out about pot size which was like 40 bucks or so. The he proceds and say all in for another 65 i believe. I was like opps..... what did i get myself into I donk bet right into his nut flush??? 65 to call hmmmm what do I do???? I went into the tank for like what seem like forever. I looked at him.... I looked at the pot and tried to figure out how much i committed and is it worth calling???? I started to count out my chips.. Kept holding and thinking throw the chips in or my card..... and at the last possible moment i decided well there goes my my chips i call. And he showed pocket 44 for a flop set. WOW wow WOW..... flush hit on the river and i bet out and he push all in????? Jackson Casino players ........ WOW........ That's all i can say wow. If he bets like more on the flop I don't know if i can call but if he betted more on the turn i definitely couldn't call. but he made it cheap at 5 bucks to call that i did call. The Santi was like Huh and started laughing at me saying you went into the tank with the 2nd nut flush??? that should have been a easy call. if he had the nuts he had it but you cant lay down 2nd nut flush.

Well its all a learning nl game for me. Fun because I won but very hard to place correct bets and raises and with right cards to call with. That's all for now.... I'm thinking of heading to the creek on tues so wish me luck.

New Year New Start

Cache Creek 1/1/08
4/8 kill: TP= +$274 TSP = 7 Hrs



Well like I said I'm starting off anew. Got to the creek kind of early in the day, Sat around and played a little 3/6 till they opened up a new 4/8 kill game. Did OK i guess, I only did a 100 dollar buy in, normally i buy in for 200 but since i sat around on the 3/6 table i made a small buy in. I got into a hand in the BB with 4/6 hearts. Flop was all hearts and I played it aggressive where the flop was capped and I lead out the turn and river and just got called down by 2 other players. Lost the hand to the person playing under the gun with qh 2h . He said he thought i had the ace of hearts, There was a kh on the flop. Well what can i say? Then lost a monster kill pot. I was on the bb with KQSpades, couple limper so i raised. Four players to the pot. Flop comes KQ3 with 2 diamonds. I bet out and got raised by a momma, I reraised and she caps it. Hmmm did she flop a set? Turn was another diamond and i have none, so i checked and she bets. I called and we are heads up. River another Diamond the Ace. I was like wow I know i done for no diamond in my hand and I'm losing to anything now. I check and was debating if she bets i should fold. But it turn out she also checked too. Turn out she had pocket AA and hit a set on the river. No diamond either. But a set beats two pairs any day. I was like wow i was way ahead till the river. I wonder if i still bet out the turn will she still call? 3 diamonds on the turn and when the fourth diamond came out would she call??? If I bet? Then i remember this is cache creek they calling all the way.

A big hand I won was with KJ, About 5 players to the flop and the flop comes 9 10 q, I flopped the nut straight. Some one bets out and momma raised, now its on my i was debating her if i raise what are the chances of the other 3 players call? SB and BB may fold already to a raise so i might as well raise it up with the raiser. (maybe bad idea?) So i raised and player to my left called then fold fold and mamma reraised i was like alright..... Lets cap it. The guy next to me was like man i cant fold i got too much invested I cant lay this hand down. So either he flopped a set or he may be on a flush draw even flopped two pairs. Turn was a low card and mamma bets out. I was like for reals? Raise!!! the guy next to me thinks again and was like damn i know what you have but i cant lay it down i call and mamma re raised me back. WOW, i love it!! I capped it and the guy is all in so it heads up now. river another low card and no flush out there at all. Mamma bets out and i was like wow we either have the same hand or she over valuing her 2 pairs or set. So i decided just in case, lets raise it!!!! Then she decides to just call. I was like darn no more raise... She she shows her hand and its a j 8 for the ass end of the straight. I showed mine and for the nut straight and took down the pot. But she kept complaining that she had a straight and the dealer had to stop and show her that my straight was higher. I love Mommas. That hand gave me over a hundred dollar of their money pot. it was awesome. Well hopefully tonight or sat night I will be back to the creek. I was planning on tonight but the weather it horrible, I may have to wait till sat night to play.

Where has the Super Donk Been?????

Well its been a while since I last posted a blog. Since my last session I had two -$300 sessions, a + $100 session and two more -$ 300 sessions. Out of those plays only one of them i played bad because I went on tilt because of players sucking out on me left and right. It took a hit on my bank roll. To where i was using my own money again to play. It made me worry too much about should I be playing or not. But after talking to the superstar he just says it variance and i cant let it effect me. I took most of September off to recoup and get mentally prepared again. Played some more where i was getting positive results again. Played in Vegas and got raped even got into a yelling match at the Mandalay Bay because the dealer weren't controlling the game. Maybe I just have bad luck in Vegas.

Played some more where it was a positive $100 days and a couple negative days. But I was slowly turning it around. I even went back to the dreaded Capital Casino where i came out positive $280 for about 5 hours of play. Still felt like I'm playing too many non playable hands. That should be auto fold, But I guess that's why they call me the Super Donk. I fell back to donk betting too much. Stuff i need to work on.

My last two sessions were good. I think both time I up over $250 positive sessions. But still played bad. Cant seem to run good sometimes. YES THAT'S RIGHT I SAID I DON'T RUN GOOD. That's for the two people that know who i am and i play with them when ever i win a big pot. They like to rub it in on my about not running good.

Well I think over all for last year i must be in the positive $ 10 bucks. I'm going to try to post again now adays. But my job requires me to work 14 hour days. Sometime 7 days a week. But it sucks when you work in a little chinese restaurant serving customers all day.
