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.
