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.
