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.
