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.
