So........... Santi and Fender is at AC right now with the rest of the CardPlayer/67suited peeps. This I think is the first major poker trip that i have missed. It sucks really, I couldn't get the time off from my second job at raleys. It would have been perfect with the State job but Raleys is being difficult. Also i guess its a good thing i am not going either, because I had to loan some money out to a friend to get things in gear for his business. Oh well it wasn't meant to be.
So when I got off from Raleys I was debating a bit on weather or not to go play at Cap. My mind is kind of clouded right now with a million things happening. Usually that's not a good sign to go play. But once it hit 1am i was bored out of my mind and decided to go up to Cap.
Well 2 & 1/2 hours of play and i came up $206 for the evening. I think i was at 300 at the highest before getting busted on some hands.
It started off a little slow for me. I was getting some big hands but missing the flop. Also my table was a good calling station table. Except for the crazy momma that raises everything. I was hoping to capitalize this table. I had to do a re buy when a couple big hands came up.
First big hand was AK suited hearts on the bb. There were 6 callers and I raised it. Flop came K103 two clubs. I bet out and it gets called around. The turn was a Ace of diamonds and i bet out and it gets raised with one caller and me calling his raise. The river was a even crappier Qs making a 4 card to the straight showing. I check thinking depending on what happen this may be a call down. But it went check check and it was me to show first. I showed top two and the other two players mucked their cards. I was pretty much in awe...... Wasn't sure what was happening but i take a pot any day they want me to take.
The very next hand I get on the sb was pocket 4. The table is now 7 handed and its get called all around and back to the bb who raises it. Everyone calls and i am praying please let there be a 4 on the flop! The flop came 848 with 2 diamonds. BOOM!!!! YES!!!! I FLOPPED THE BOAT! So i checked thinking the bb will cbet but he didn't he just checked also. Oops maybe i should have lead out there. But lucky for me the player on seat 7 bets momma calls seat 9 raise, seat two cold call 2 bets and its back to me which i reraise a fold and back to the initial player that bet out that caps it. wow 5 players capped flop. The turn was a 6c and i bet out, the player on seat 7 raises momma goes all in seat nine calls seat 2 goes all in back to me i reraise and it went call call. Two players all in and now its me against two other players. River was Jd and momma says i love you baby. I was like ohoh i guess i am getting the side pot. I bet out and it went call call. Player on seat nine says full house is good and i show my pocket 44 and he shows 58 for trips, momma shows ace high flush, guy on seat two shows k high flush, and the raiser shows a turned straight. I took down a massive pot. I did a over tip which is always bad but with this pot it was close to 280 and i tipped Andy 6 bucks for this hand. Because with this pot, i am back to the positive and have over positive 250 in front.
After this hand i pretty much went card dead and the table broke. I joined the other table And played a few hands before leaving. One interesting hand at the new table was this:
K10 diamonds on the button. There was 6 limper's and i debated should i raise or just limp in because it looks like its going to be a family pot. I just limped and it was 9 handed to the flop which came 1094. it checked around to me and i bet it out. I get a couple callers and its 4 to the turn. The turn was 5 checked to me and i bet out and it was fold call and raise. I was like wow check raise? two pairs? top two? i called and one other player called and the river was a 8 even uglier card. 67 would have gotten there. First player check the check raiser bets out normally i would have folded but i saw the other player ready to fold his hand so i made the crying call knowing that the other person would fold which he did. So the check raiser said i have two pairs. I waited for him to show before mucking my cards. He turn it over and he showed 58 off. I took a double take and was like running two pairs? bluff check raise on the turn? he said yeah i know you, you only play ak all the time. So i had the best hand on the turn either way. Another player laughed he was a regular that plays every night too and said, this guy don't bluff (pointing at me) if he bets he almost always has the best hand on the flop. And he don't limp in ak like you do. hahahahahaha you don't know him he either had a10 or k 10. I seen him raise a10 before so its has to be k10 and i bet its suited!!! I was like oh wow!!! ummm he must been taking his notes on me all this time! I guess i need to really start paying more attention to some of these regular Asian poker players. They really either do take great mental notes or they just remember the fat Asian kid. I wonder which?
So that pretty much summed up my night at cap.

Capital Casino Oct 31
I will blog more but a quick update, it was a hard night. A lot of fish playing every hand but i missed all my draws and couldnt take advantage of my table.
Over all night + $25 only, i was up 140 at one point but one big loss drove me back down.
Ok i am back To talk about the evening. Pretty much when i got to Cap i was one of two asians. I didnt recognize any of the players so i thought maybe i loosen up my range and make it look like a typical donk. Why that didnt go to well because when i limp in everyone limp in and when i wasnt in a hand no one really played and when i raised everyone folded. So i decided forget this i am playing to many wide range and go back to normal superdonk poker playing.
Which seem like a good time too because i had to do a rebuy and three asian fish joined my table from a broken table. Well they played every hand and never folded. I saw them go from a rack to maybe 3 rack each. While i sat there folding or missing my draws and missing all my flops with preflop raise.
I finally get a big hand against a Asian momma that didn't like me to much for some reason. I'm under the gun with kk on a kill pot. I limp and i see two player limp in also when it get to momma on the big blind. She raises and i go bing!!! Back to me and i 3 bet and the other two callers also calls and momma caps it. Flop comes k98 with 2 clubs. Momma bets out and normally with two player behind me i may just call and raise the turn but with two clubs and a possible straight draw i didn't like it too much. So i raised. The player to my right was about to call but decided to muck her hand because of my raise and the other player throws away too. Mamma calls. Turn com and its a 9 so i have my boat. Momma check i bet she call. River was a blank she check i bet she calls and i show my boat and she shows he pocket aces. Aces crack sorry.
Other than that hand all my other hands were standard plays. I missed alot of draws and my raises meant nothing to the fishes as they all called and i completely whiffed the flop and turn. I decided to leave when two of the big fish racked up and left.
Oh one hand i wanted to say was Sam the ugly dealer was dealing and he did a funky throw to me where the card just flipped and it was a 8 of club and i looked at the other card it was a 8spade. I was like great. On the button and i could have gotten pocket 88. I get a 3 instead and i throw my cards away. Well you know where i am going here. Guess what come on the flop. Yup not one but both red 88 came out. Quads could have been all me but either way it wasn't high hand and who know maybe i wouldn't have gotten any action at all against the fish...... Yeah right..... I was erked to no end.

Capital Casino October 30th.
Well its been a while since i walked into Cap and now i am sporting some glasses that will help me see the board finally. Well I pretty much nothing has changed but i was hoping players wouldnt recongize me because its starting to feel that they know i am actually a pretty sold player not one of those typical asian that play every hand. But that didnt work because some of the regulars recongnized me and kind of kill my action. But oh well i am perfectly happy stealing blinds all night.
Ok so with this blog I'm not going to talk about standard plays just ones that i thought was interesting or the one i know i played wrong and just wanted to talk it out. So with that said...... I walked into cap and i was sent to the paigow room for the 4/8 game. No 6/12 which sucks. So as i sit down a the lady on seat 4 want to move to seat 5 the middle spot which i was glad to give her. So the very first hand i get delt with i see pocket kings. I was like weeeeee here we go. Seat one limps seat 3 limps i raised a couple callers and seat one reraised. oh oh is this the ol limp and reraise if the some one raised per flop? Well it comes back to me and i cap it and it becomes 3 to the flop. The flop comes j93 and seat one bets and i raised and he calls and we are heads up. the turn was a 4 and he check i bet he calls. River was 9 which i think is harmless, so he checks i bet he calls and i show my kings and he shows pocket AA. whoops! first hand and i get slaughtered . Well not really since i think i lost the min on this. but all this tells me is welcome back superdonk! Your back at capital casino again!
The other had i want to talk about is J9spades on the BB and its a kill pot. This was about the 4th kill pot for the night but i notice when ever its a kill pot everyone limped in and to see a flop. Well to me this is a good hand i also called so its a family pot and the flop comes 10s 7s 5 s. BOOM i flops the flush and really a gutty to a straight flush. Sb checks i bet and i get a couple callers and the sb called also. The turn comes a red 10. pairing the board. Sb bets and i raised trying to see where i am at on this hand. And the two other callers folded but the sb called and now we are heads up. The river was a red 7. Great not if he had a 10 he made a boat or even if he had a 7 he still has a boat. All i am beating right now is a bluff. Sb bets and i tank for like a min. The pots huge but man there is nothing I can beat! Pot size says call but its a kill and its 16 more to me and i just don't see anything i am beating so i laid it down. Then he preceded to show his hand and he had 52 off suit for a pair of 5 but pretty much it means he was playing the board with a 5 kicker. I was shelled shocked. He made me lay down the flush and he had nothing but a bluff. Pretty mush this guy caught the perfect two cards that made my lay down the winner. And that was pair the board on the turn and pairing the other card on the river. I am not saying he played it perfect because it comes down to his horrible flop call with bottom pair with out a flush draw. But i was amazed the way he did played it and it worked out for him. Nice hand nice hand.
So pretty much for the evening i cashed out $370 for the night. Not a bad way to come back to poker.

Where have I been again?
Well as you can see, its been a while since i last blogged. Well it pretty much come down to if i am not playing I am not blogging. As you can see fron the date of the last blog its been a good 4 months since i have played poker. Its actually a very good feeling too. It was a nice little break and in between that time I have been working, traveling to New York and Chicago. Maybe i will post some pics of the trip and maybe i wont. Now that i have said that. What made me decide to go play again since i went cold turkey and turn off poker for all that time? I'm not really sure myself maybe i felt a little happy and I felt maybe a little luck was on my side to go play. Meaning i hanged out with a person I like alot and i felt all happy and giddy which made me want to play. Well with that said time to blog about some poker!

Capital Casino 6/20
Just a quick trip report because I still have to blog about my Vegas trip. But i went on God mode finally. It was pretty sick. Maybe it was just the seat or it was the perfect table. Because there was alot of players to the flop and my hands were holding. I dodge all the outs people were drawing to. It was quite sickening. Also the best part is Ace crack is back for the spin. People are gambling more with any suited connector cards because the big Jackpot is at 100,000. So they are seeing more players now that are just there to try to hit Jackpot. Pots were huge people wouldn't lay down hands, Twice i saw straight flush hit and people were not laying down 3rd best flushes to a raise reraise and cap on the river no less. That just made it a great table if your holding the nuts.I will post pics of my stack a little later plus some basic hand history.
4/8kill = +59 (3 hours)
6/12 = + 1160 (2 hours)
Total of + 1219 for about 5 hours of play.
After my first 3 hands won.
After a couple more hands won.
When i was all done racking up. Would have had a complete 7th rack if we didnt decide to mess around for the last hand.

Vegas Day Three & Four Saturday and Sunday
THis is going to be a combine trip report because I getting tired.
Woke up and had Buffet at the Mirage with May and Jwong. It was actually pretty good. I would rank this as one of the better buffets. Afterwards played some 10/20 and still lost. Played some 4/8 and lost at the Vienitian and the Beligio.
Sat poker lost may be summed up to a total of 4-500 for the day.
Sun I decided to just stick to 4/8 and we went to the wynn to play. That when every thing came together. I ended out cashing out for about 440 on the 4/8 game
.
Afterwards We played some 27 hammer game at the mirage which i made another 240 at the table.
so sunday 4/8 game came out to be about +700 day.
I will post hand history later its getting late.
Vegas Day Two Friday.
Woke up by a phone call by May telling me they were going to eat at BLT for lunch. I had a awesome Kobe burger with a fried egg on it. Yum Yum. Afterwards I checked out the 10/20 game at the Mirage. I thought I saw a good table to sit in and i sat down to the worst beats I can run into.
Quick hand history
aa loses to 67. flop was q 6 2 turn 9 river 7. He stuck around to catch two pairs on me what a soul read he said he put me on AK
Next big hand was AK loss to q10, 4 to the flop after i raise on the button. flop come k 8 2 Check to me i bet all called. Turn was 9 check to me i bet all called. river J person bets into me fold fold and i made the call. He showed his runner runner straight. Awesome.
After a few more orbits I was down close to 400 and I decided to get out of the table. I played for about 3 hours and was either card dead or just couldn't hold with any big hands. I left and decided to join Nick and the rest of the crew at Beligio. When I got there they were all ready to leave to go eat somewhere. So we went to Trevi a good pasta place to eat. Love the food there.
Afterwards we went to Mirage poker room and I sat down on another 10/20 session and the guys were planning to start a horse game at 10pm.
Drop another 200 on the 10/20 game Just ran bad.
Cant really remember much hand now but it was pretty standard plays by me and i didn't run good. left the game when I saw it was getting close to the start of the Horse game when Shifty says Jerry Buss is going to Join our HORSE game. I was like no fucking way. Well jerry did join us on our game and he had a awesome looking Asian girl sitting right behind him.
Here a excerpt from Nik blog since i am too lazy to write this out.
So long story short, Jerry played a complete rotation of Horse with us, and I think we got him for about $150, and only cause he ran kinda crappy in Razz. Everything else he seemed to play seriously, and it was pretty obv the dude just plays to win. We all made small talk for awhile, until sometime in the O8 section of the game a tiny, smoking hot asian girl in a Lakers shirt started sweating him. After that he just kinda ignored us. During the Stud8 (last game) rotation, Shabba walked in with a couple girls from his work (hot) and started introducing us to his friends. "That's Nik, Tony, Tommy, Dennis, Ryan, the owner of the Lakers..."
Everyone, including Jerry, laughed really hard at that. Good times, probably the highlight of the trip.
One other thing i can really remember about this game was Jerry actually pump fake me in the Razz hand i believe. It was kind of funny because i got all excited when he looked like he was going to raise me but decided to fold his hand.
Afterwards I met up with the two work girls and had drinks and went to the Revolution club at the Mirage.

Vegas Day One
Well I arrived at the airport 20 min before boarding. I actually for the first time got a B boarding for Southwest. I always seem to get C30 or worst. But this time I got B29 which pretty much guarantee me a seat at the window. Everyone boarded pretty fast till they announced they had a special guest that required extra time to seat. It was a disabled person and it took a while to get him loaded in. When the plane landed it was pretty much the same everyone wanted to let him out first because the flight was actually quite hard for him. So the first few people got out and they allow the airport staff to assist the person out. Which took about 30 min or so but now it was pretty much over an hour late now. When i got to the hotel i tried to do the 20 dollar tip trick to upgrade my room to a nicer one and it worked like a charm! I was very happy with the room i received. I meet up with Nik and Tony and we walked over to the Beligio poker room. That's where i met up with pika and Deuce. After a couple hours of standing around, couple of my coworkers arrived in Vegas and i decided to grab lunch with them. We went to Cafe Babba Reba or something like that for tiapia's. It was good stuff but the portions has changed. We did a little shopping at the Fashion outlet and we chilling to dinner which was at 745 at Mesa Grill. I took a little short nap and met everyone at the Mirage sports book and walked over to Mesa Grill. The Tuna Steak was to die for it was awesome. Even more awesome was the Pesto Mashed potato. Afterwards we went to the Rio to watch Shifty in the world series 1500nl event. Saw some famous poker player and decided to take of to the Mirage with Fender Shabba deuce and pika. After watch a hirlious heads up match with Shabba and deuce, we got to Mirage and i joined the 10/20 game. It was pretty much a bad table selection. Everyone was gunning for 2 players that played every hand. I pretty much was the one that seemed to donate my chips to the two chip dumpers. After being down 2 stacks Santi shows up and ask how is the table i pretty much tell him it sucks ass and i think i am done. As i was talking to him the game breaks. Oh well.... the next thing I know is its off to the Carnegie deli. Afterwards it was off to the room to catch some sleep.

Undate of life of the Donk.
Well the Vegas trip came and gone and I will be posting what happen and how I ran during the trip. I'm still running awful. Out of the 4 days there I ran horrible at 10/20 and 4/8 in til my last full day there were i decided just to play 4/8 only and i ended up a winner that day. Sucks, it would have been nice to run good at the 10/20 game instead. But i must say the high light of the trip was playing HORSE with Dr. Jerry Buss. It was good times.

I have tilted and it wasnt pretty.
This is my story of tilting at Capital Casino Tonight.
Well When I got home I expected to go hang out with a certain someone. So I waited for the call. I fell asleep and when I woke up my phone was ringing. It was the phone call I was waiting for. But as most of you may know....... someone had canceled out on me. It was 730pm now. I had slept for 3 hours and i am wide awake. So i thought i give the Santi a call to grab food and to moan groan about getting dissed again by this person. But i didn't get a call back so i went to Capital. Well I sat right into the 6/12 game and it was going pretty well. It was up and down at first and I had to do a rebuy and after a couple of hours i was up almost a rack. Till a Loas player sat down on seat nine.
Lately I have been taking beats in stride, its going to happen and theres nothing much you can do about it but say nice hand and move on. But tonight was a little different.
First hand that started it. BB pocket jj. Got called by 3 players and i raised it up and it got called around. Flop comes 10 8 2 rainbow. I bet out and gets called around till it hit seat 9 he raised it. I rerasied back both players called and he caps it. Turn 3 two hearts on board but i am not too worried. I bet out and it went fold fold and seat nine raise. I was like man ok two pairs this sucks and i called. river was a 6 and i check he bets and i called. He says this " I have the sign off the beast." Huh??? He shows Pocket 66 and said look AK no good. I was like wow..... ok no problem.
Then came the very next hand, sb and i see pocket kk. A couple callers and seat nine said the magic words i want to be the killer i raise. Well Back to me and I three bet it and it gets cap 3 players to the flop. Flop come a K103 with two diamonds and a club. I flop top set, now all i need to do is pair the board and i Know i will be good. I bet next player folds seat nine said I am hot i way ahead raised. Bing!!! I love it I three bet him and he caps it! Turn comes 7c still a good looking turn. I bet he raise and said I'm going to get high hand i know it raise. I three bet him back knowing it looks like i need to fade some diamonds and maybe a straight draw and straight flush draw. I am thinking man this guy has too many outs pair the board please! He calls and the river comes 2c. I think man that has to be my money card diamond didn't hit and i don't see a straight there at all. I bet out and he say raise. I looked again and was like huh no fucking way club draw? what??? i called and he shows 64clubs. I was pretty damn near in shock. He went runner runner for his flush draw.
Kill pot now and I am on the button. I looked down and see AHKH. it folds and seat 9 raises and say lets make it 4 in a row! seat one calls and i pop it up 3 bets. Seat nine says oh steaming huh.... lets cap it. Seat one call and i call. Flop comes AK6 rainbow. seat nine bets out seat one folds and i said raise. He calls. Turn came 6. He leads out on me and i raised it up again and he calls. I am thinking i am either way ahead or way behind. River q. he checks I bet and he says raise. I was shitting in my pants don't tell me i just fell for all of his trap and he flopped a set and turn the boat on me. I called and he says boat! I looked and he had pocket qq for the river full house. PUKE!!!!!! You have got to be kidding!!! I mean i know you cant fold that hand but if anything that's a call down hand with a flop of AK on the board. FUCK ME!!!!!!
Right now i was on semi tilt. I just ran bad and this donkey ass is getting lucky on me. No problem. A couple hands pass and i get pocket QQ It was limped around and i raised it up. Seat nine looks and said the magic words wait seat two raise? oh man steam raising again buddy? I call. 6 to the flop and it comes j33. Checks to me and i bet and all called. Turn was 10 Checks to me I bet and people started folding but seat nine called and said im going to check raise the river. SO don't bet i warned you. River 9. He checks and stupid me i still bet out. He says raise and i called. I said trip 3 are good. He says nope i don't have trips at all. He shows 78 for the runner runner straight. Then he goes off on I told you not to bet but greedy players like you think you hold the best hand when you don't and all your doing is donating me all your chips. Thanks. I just kinda stared in awww...... Sam the dealer (ugly Sam) said quiet no criticizing the player. Keep your comments to your self. Seat nine was like hey its cool man just trying to teach the boy how to play. BING...........Tilt factor on high..........
All in my head was keep cool... fuck this guy play your game..... if Santi see you like this what will he say? Get the fuck out of the table if you cant handle the swings.
So i chilled and folded a few hands till I was under the gun and looked down ans see AA one red one black. I open raised and thought no problem I most likey steal the blinds i be happy. But once it got to seat nine he looked at me and said raise again huh. I call. sb called and bb called. 4 to the flop. Flop comes k34. sb check bb checks i bet seat nine raised sb folds bb calls i reraised seat nine caps it and bb calls. Turn 2. BB checks i bet seat 9 raised again bb fold and i was like two pairs? I called. River pairs the 2. I checked seat nine bets i called. I was hoping i rivered a better two pairs on him. He says Nice call i missed my straight and show just a ace at me. Sam was like show two cards to win and he just held his card showing the ace. I flipped my cards showing my aces and then he dropped his card to the table and spread his other card out showing what his other card was...... it was 2. For runner runner trips.... (DING.....TILT COMMENCING)
All that came out of my mouth was this. WTF!!! WHY YOU SLOW ROLLING FOR. I fucking called just show your cards don't pulled this fucking slow roll crap..... Sam started to say calm down calm down. I was like don't fucking slow roll man. Sam said something to me in Chinese because obviously the other player was a older Loas or some 3rd world asain country guy so i know he wasn't talking to him. All i said was fuck him in Chinese and Sam said in chinese its ok its ok take a break. I got up and sat in the lounge for a bit. I fucking tilted. I sat their all potty and shiet. I ordered some food and ate. They called my name a couple time saying 3rd miss blind but i was like fuck this. I finished eating and went to the cage to cash out what chips i had left. Which was like 60 bucks.
I took a lost of 340 tonight.
I tilted.
I looked like a ass.
Oh well.
It was bound to happen.
Well When I got home I expected to go hang out with a certain someone. So I waited for the call. I fell asleep and when I woke up my phone was ringing. It was the phone call I was waiting for. But as most of you may know....... someone had canceled out on me. It was 730pm now. I had slept for 3 hours and i am wide awake. So i thought i give the Santi a call to grab food and to moan groan about getting dissed again by this person. But i didn't get a call back so i went to Capital. Well I sat right into the 6/12 game and it was going pretty well. It was up and down at first and I had to do a rebuy and after a couple of hours i was up almost a rack. Till a Loas player sat down on seat nine.
Lately I have been taking beats in stride, its going to happen and theres nothing much you can do about it but say nice hand and move on. But tonight was a little different.
First hand that started it. BB pocket jj. Got called by 3 players and i raised it up and it got called around. Flop comes 10 8 2 rainbow. I bet out and gets called around till it hit seat 9 he raised it. I rerasied back both players called and he caps it. Turn 3 two hearts on board but i am not too worried. I bet out and it went fold fold and seat nine raise. I was like man ok two pairs this sucks and i called. river was a 6 and i check he bets and i called. He says this " I have the sign off the beast." Huh??? He shows Pocket 66 and said look AK no good. I was like wow..... ok no problem.
Then came the very next hand, sb and i see pocket kk. A couple callers and seat nine said the magic words i want to be the killer i raise. Well Back to me and I three bet it and it gets cap 3 players to the flop. Flop come a K103 with two diamonds and a club. I flop top set, now all i need to do is pair the board and i Know i will be good. I bet next player folds seat nine said I am hot i way ahead raised. Bing!!! I love it I three bet him and he caps it! Turn comes 7c still a good looking turn. I bet he raise and said I'm going to get high hand i know it raise. I three bet him back knowing it looks like i need to fade some diamonds and maybe a straight draw and straight flush draw. I am thinking man this guy has too many outs pair the board please! He calls and the river comes 2c. I think man that has to be my money card diamond didn't hit and i don't see a straight there at all. I bet out and he say raise. I looked again and was like huh no fucking way club draw? what??? i called and he shows 64clubs. I was pretty damn near in shock. He went runner runner for his flush draw.
Kill pot now and I am on the button. I looked down and see AHKH. it folds and seat 9 raises and say lets make it 4 in a row! seat one calls and i pop it up 3 bets.

My Run in with J C Tran!
It was Friday night and i was on the 6/12 table. I was on seat one and Santi was on seat two. His buddy on seat three said this out loud. " Hey we have a celebrity in the house!" (Well something close to this i think is what he said) As i looked over it was JC Tran. Sacramento own poker celebrity. Winner of a WPT event and WSOP bracelet plus many final tables of many different events. Santi joked around and said hey don't you know that guy? I thought you went to high school with him. I corrected him and said no it was Jr. High and High school. He walk through the room and then disappeared. Santi said something like why don't you go say hi or something like that.
I thought man its been like a year since i last saw him. Will he still remember me? Has fame and fortune changed him? or is he still the same o guy from high school? About a hour goes buy and he comes walking back to the room and he hops onto the 5/10 no limit table with a rack. I see him joking around with the guys on the table saying if its ok for him to take this seat before he starts taking everyone money.
Well the table breaks and It doesn't take me long to cash out. While the Santi was cashing out i decided well here goes lets see what he says. So i walked over to him and he was talking to the owner of cap that was sitting next to him on seat 8. Then i called him by the name I always knew him by. Which I wont say, he turns around and say's who the FUCK ARE YOU!!!! I was like a humble fan looking to get a autograph and a picture with you.
J/K he turns around and says whats up Super Donk! we chit chatted a bit and all along Santi was standing right behind me and it didnt dawn on me to introduce him to JC. Even though I was pretty sure i have over a year ago. It was around the last time i saw him at the Cap and the santi was there. But he says he has been taking a break from the tour and resting up before the WSOP. He planning on playing alot more events this year since he learned how to play O8 and other games. He even said to look him up when i am there during the Card player/67 suited vegas trip in June.
I was like cool cool. Told him good luck and let him continue to play his game.
That was my experience with meeting JC Tran. Just wanted to let you all know.

Bad Run at the Capital 05/15
Well it was bound to happen, My good run over at Cap came to a crashing halt. More like i drove right into a brick wall. Nothing held, every hand i held was crushed. Lots of kill pot destroyed me. Even started to play and fold hands just because some one raise me out of the hand. (Santi I'm looking at you!) Usually when that happens its time to get out of the table. It means I'm letting it effect my game just because of variance.
Not going to say any hands since everything was destroyed and I took a nice 2 day break of just sleep and relax to get everything out of my head.
Over all Weekend Lost.
4/8 kill = +159
6/12 = - $700 (This is for total of 2 trips to CAP over Friday of playing.)

Capital Casino 5/14 Trip One
6/12 = +272
Well I was at training today and we got let out early so i decided to head down to Cap for some fun filled action. I call the Santi and told him my plans and he said he will meet up with me over there. When I got there I placed my name on the list and withing 5 min they opened up a new table in the Pai Gow room. The table was a little nitty with some solid players. To my right was Davin and across the table was Felize a very good 4/8 player when he wants to be. Also Raz was joining my table too. So its a game that i cant take too lightly. After a few hands where i missed the flop completely I get my first winning hand.
It went pretty standard.
68 off on the big blind and about 5 players to the flop.
Flop comes 664 with two diamonds.
sb check i bet it out and get called by 3 players. Turn was j, I bet and it went call call and call. River paired the 4 so i pretty sure the worst thing that could happen is i chop the pot with someone. I bet and 2 players called and i showed my hand and it was good!
After that the Santi joined the table and everything was pretty standard.

Monday Capital Casino 5/11. Hero lay down?
4/8Kill = -90
6/12 = +130
Total +40
Well I was bored and decided to go back to cap knowing I won't be able to play for a while after this trip. I got into a crazy 4/8 game. Never had much hands hold and when I got called over to the 612 game I was down. I played pretty standard but couldn't get any hands to hold.
But once on the 6/12 my hands were holding. Two hands to talk about really. First hand Q10 hearts on the sb. Super aggro player running hot raise like usual about 5 players to the flop. Flop comes 2J9 rainbow with one heart. I check and it goes bb bets, call, fold, aggro raise, I reraise bb caps it all call. Turn was 5 heart giving me the flush and straight draw. I bet out call fold aggro says I got a flush draw I raise. This is where I not sure to 3bet or call because I'm still not beating anything. I called bbcalls. River was 8clubs giving me the nut straight. I lead out bb calls and aggro says I fold my pocket kk which I knew was a lie. I showed and took down a nice pot.
OK after a hour on the 6/12 game i was getting hungry and i text the santi to see if he wanted to go and eat before he goes into work. He says to meet at the usual spot at 8:20, I decided 8:00 would be a perfect time to leave. Pretty much the table gone fishing against the one spew tard that raising every hand but is some how holding up with any two cards that he plays. At this point I have 2 racks and a stack and a half in front of me. It was my last hand and Tim was dealing. I'm under the gun and i looked down to see two red Kings, I looked at Tim and thought what a punk he give me this of all hands on a kill pot and this was my last hand i was planning on playing. So i limped in and it goes call, call, fold, maniac raise (which i knew he was going to since he raise every hand for like the last 10 hands) Hot Asian momma I forget her name again ( I'm thinking Emily) Raj fold, sb fold, bb folds, back to me i raise, call, call, manic caps it, Emily calls and we all call. Flop comes 10s, 2s, 3d. I'm first to act and I lead out, call, call, manic raise, Emily call, I reraise, call, call, maniac caps, Emily call, everyone else call. I'm thinking i know i have the best hand i need to dodge a spade. Turn comes qs. The flush gets there and i am disgusted I am thinking all i can do know is just call down. I check, check, check, maniac bets and Emily raises. I looked at Emily and stare at her knowing she can make this play, trying to represent that she has the flush. As I stared at her she just did a quick head nod to me which i never seen her do before to me. Pretty much indicating to me to lay it down that she has the best hand even though she must put me on a monster hand like Aces or kings. I just shake my head and fold Tim takes my card and shakes at me pretty much telling me good lay down. I decided to stay and see how this ends up. It gets called and called by the next two players and maniac calls. River was Kc hitting my set, but the flush is out there and also two goofy straights like AJ or J9. I'm thinking well its a good lay down no way i am good. The betting goes check, check, maniac checks, Emily bets, call call and maniac folds and says i am laying down my aces and just show one ace only. Emily flips her card and show pocket 2 for a flop set i was shit out surprised. I looked at the next two players that called thinking one of them must have hit their flush!!!! But they both folded. All i could do was smile and walk away in tears. Just knowing I made the right fold. I just would have just happen to have hit my one outer because a Kspade would have been no good to me either way. Emily played it perfect and she hit her perfect card that she needed to on the flop. SICKNESS in my opinion calling 24 chips with pocket 2. But it paid off for her. So i left that game up 40 for the trip when before that hand I was up +130 or so.
6/12 = +130

Capital Casino Mothers Day War!!
I will keep this super short.
I was in a 4/8 battle that was to die for.
Pots that were 200 plus almost everyhand. Plenty of fish hitting hands and chips moving everywhich way. It was a war. After 5 hands I knew I needed to buy in for more. I normally just buy in a rack but this time after seeing alot of people with a wall of chips I thought i better buy in for more. Which I did for 200 more for a total of 300 in front of me.
Hands to come. I took alot of beating and i dished out some beat downs. I was never more than 200 up but i sure was down 200+ alot. It was a hard hit battle that I just couldnt leave the game till the last of the big fish left. I may not know how much they bought in for or what not. But it seem each one when they left racked up for about 500 to 600 each. It made me cry when they left. But once they did. I came up a little up.
4/8 kill = + 110.

Capital Casino 5/9 SUPERDONK BDAY
Well I am going to keep this short because its late and i have to work in the morning. But thank You for all those who came out for my birthday. It was cheesecake factory and then to Hanger 17 afterwards a trip to the Park for some clubbing good time and then to the truck stop. After wards once I woke up I went to Capital Casino to meet up Fender and the Santi.
Over all 6/12= +300 for the day.
I will talk hands later.
OK i am back but a problem just arrived. I cant really remember much hands at all to talk about. So i will talk about one hand that i played like a nit. AK I think i was bb or maybe sb. But pretty much i raised and it was like 3 or maybe 4 players to the flop. Flop came AJ8 and i bet out and the player next to me raised. For some odd unknown reason something told me A8 was what he was holding so i just called his raise. Normally this is a easy raise and calling a cap and lead out the turn and go from there if he continue to raise me or what not. But I just plain call his raise. The turn was a blank i check he bets and i called. rivered paired the 8. Now if he had a8 he just filled up and has a monster hand. I just checked and he checked behind. I showed my ak and he mucked. Puke....... I played that hand like a freaking Nit. Santi even said wtf? Its pretty much means i played scared and allowed myself not to maximize my bets and i just won the min. If i am going to play scared don't bother to play at all. I am changing the way i play and i need to stop that bull shit.
The only other hand i can really think of is the hand against Fender and you can read that on his blog. All i can say is I played bad and it was a easy fold on the flop. Nice hand Fender.
Well the Santi wanted some pics so here is my attempt.
(yes the pic is blurry but it looks like someone was trying to lick this poor unexpecting Asian girl)
Picture of my chip stack at its peak Yes that arm sure looks like the Santi!
(Bottom has 10 stacks, second level had 6 stacks and the third level had 3 stacks. plus a one dollar chip on top total of $761 but i bought in for two racks, ran bad at first)
This pic is me and two of my friends at the Park
(A club/lounge in downtown Sacramento)
Over all 6/12= +300 for the day.

The turn was a blank i check he bets and i called. rivered paired the 8. Now if he had a8 he just filled up and has a monster hand. I just checked and he checked behind. I showed my ak and he mucked. Puke....... I played that hand like a freaking Nit. Santi even said wtf? Its pretty much means i played scared and allowed myself not to maximize my bets and i just won the min. If i am going to play scared don't bother to play at all. I am changing the way i play and i need to stop that bull shit.
The only other hand i can really think of is the hand against Fender and you can read that on his blog. All i can say is I played bad and it was a easy fold on the flop. Nice hand Fender.
Well the Santi wanted some pics so here is my attempt.
(yes the pic is blurry but it looks like someone was trying to lick this poor unexpecting Asian girl)
Picture of my chip stack at its peak Yes that arm sure looks like the Santi!
(Bottom has 10 stacks, second level had 6 stacks and the third level had 3 stacks. plus a one dollar chip on top total of $761 but i bought in for two racks, ran bad at first)
This pic is me and two of my friends at the Park

Capital Casino 5/7 Good start bad finish.
6/12 = +258
4/8 kill = + 66
Total profit = +324
Well I got to Capital planning to eat when I get there with the Santi. But for some reason when I saw him he looked like he wanted me to GTFA So i decided to hop onto the 2nd 6/12 game running in the Pai Gow room. As i sat down I had a crazy manic player to my right. I'm sitting in seat 8 so I'm like great lets see how i handle this. First hand I played was Pocket 7 and i think i was the button. UTG raise and the crazy asian player 3 bet it and i debated if i should cap it but i don't i call and it was 4 players to the flop. Flop was 37j rainbow. First raiser bets crazy Asian guy raise, i 3 bet it and the first raiser caps it. Turn 5h, first raiser bets, crazy Asian guy call i raise, first raiser call and crazy calls. River was Ah which made a flush on the board. It checked to me i still bet out and only the first raiser calls. I show my set and he mucks his hand. Nice little pot if I don't say so myself.
The next hand I played was pocket 10. seat 5 goes all in for 5 chips and seat 6 a very solid white guy ask if he can raise and dealer said you can call 2 or complete. So he completes and it gets to me and i raise it. One player calls the solid white boy call so were 3 to the flop and one player is all in with me last to act. Flop comes K109 with two hearts. It went check solid white guy bets i raise, next guy fold, solid white guy reraise and I cap it. The turn was a 10 giving me quads. He checks and I bet and he did a check raise. I thought about it for a second and decide to just call it. River was an A and he bets right out and I raised him. He thought about it and decides to call. Which I think the Ace killed my hand really. I show my quads and he beats himself up saying i just wasted 2 bets for nothing. Nice hand Nice hand.
After that hand the table breaks and Its only been 15 min since I sat down. I go out and check on the Santi and we grab dinner.
After dinner the game was like 4 or 5 handed. Not something I like. Also it looked like one of the players was ready to leave. So i decided to put my name on the 4/8 kill list. After waiting like 45 min i get seated. I folded till i was under the gun and i see ajclubs. I raised and next thing i know it was capped. The flop comes J85 rainbow. bb bets out, i raise, it gets reraised and capped back before it gets to me. All i know now is i think i need to call down because someone may have a over pair here. turn was 2 bb bets out i called and only one other player calls. river was a 2 and bb bets i call and the player who is last to act and only been calling this whole time raise. BB kept saying that's sick that is just sick and he calls and i decided pot big and i am last to act and i called. The river raiser shows 62 off for running trips and bb show pocket kk I finish third.
So my table breaks after a few more hand and i am down 96 bucks on 4/8. 4 seats 5 players drawing and i draw last just to see what i have to beat and i see someone drew a 4. I was like no problem i just have to avoid 8 cards and i should get a seat. Well you guess what I drew. Yup, I drew a 3 so now i have to wait. As I waited i see that one of the table is a action table. A drunk momma is raising every flop bet and everything you can think off but she is hitting her cards. I think man i need to get on this table and try to capitalize on this. After 30 min i get seated at the table and i decide to have two rack too play this game.
After losing AA to momma to her river two pairs i finally get a hand that gets back to the positive. I look and see qq under the gun. I raise and mamma raise and bb reraise and i cap it. Flop come q53. Perfect flop. bb check i bet momma raise i reraise she caps and its 4 players to the turn but two of them is all in so its heads up. The turn was 10 which is still perfect i think. I bet mamma raise, i reraise, she raises back, I 5 bet it she 6t bet it i 7 bet it and a stupid player was like wait how can you guys keep raising? Andy says its head up and they can raise each other till no more chips, the player says why don't they say all in? Andy says no they have to keep betting each other. By then Momma says oh i didn't know its unlimited i was waiting for you to say its capped. I was pissed!!! she would have kept going to no ends. so she calls and the river is a 7, i bet and she calls and she shows qj. wow she was going crazy with that hand i took down a huge pot. Being down about a rack and a half i was up a rack and a half now. Which should have been a sign to leave but i stayed for a couple more orbits which was a mistake.
KK on a kill BB. It gets capped thanks to momma. flop was A99. two spades. I have a king of spades and the ace of spades is on the board. Sb check i bet momma calls sb check raise i call mamma calls. turn was 7 spades giving me the nut flush draw now and sb blind bets i call momma raise. sb calls and i tank a bit thinking is it worth it and i made the call. Well the river was jh missing my flush and with the ace on the board i was no good. sb bets, i fold, momma calls which was weird since she raised the turn. Sb shows aq for top pair, momma shows pocket 33 for two pairs and trying to raise us out of the hand. Big pot to lose. I played a orbit more and cashed out up 66 on the 4/8 game.
4/8 kill = + 66

Capital Casino 5/3
Well I decided to go in since my plans for the day went south. (for the record the 50th time I got stood up) So i though i might as well play for a few hours.
6/12 = $0
Yup that's right. I played for a little over 4 hours and broke even for the day. At one point I was up a rack. but that's before all my big pairs got murdered.
AA -3 times
kk - 4 times
qq - 3 times
All cracked on the turn or river. Everyone hit their cards and i completely went 0 for 10 on all my big pairs. I was lucky in a way not to lose more. The benefit of being Asian is sometime the bad players take it easy on you. I had this papa just check down to me his nut hands so I would return the favor back. Well during all of these big pocket pairs he would decide to be the only one to call me after the flop. So i would return the niceness and just check down the rest and what do you know. He hit his outs on the turn or river. Normally he says he would have called down either way so betting or not would not have help me get him to fold his hand. Normally I am always going for the jugular when I play.
But lucky what kept me in the game was all of my BB specials and winning with Aj Ak hands like that.
One decent pot was AK. I raised about 5 to the flop Flop was like q 67. I c bet and only the two ladies called that was in the hand. Turn was 2 I double barrel and they both called. I was like crap. River was j and i check and they both check. One of the players said you cant beat the ladies ak is going to be no good. I showed my AK and they both mucked their cards. Wow I cant believe ace high was good!!!!
Oh well I plan on doing some playing Thursday night if all goes well after work.

capital casino 5/2/09 free falling again
4/8Kill = 0 for 4 hours.
6/12 = -480 for 3 hours.
It was a bad night at Cap. At one point on 4/8 I was up 220 and everything just started to free fall when all my big pairs got busted or I miss all my draws. 4/8 seem to have so much action now its crazy. The table I had was all action so if i was in a pot it was usually a family pot and its been raised at least once. I seem to get alot of respect in a way from players. They seem to only think I have AA, AK, KK, QQ if I was playing. So alot of time a player would normally say give me a low ball flop and they usually get their wish. Oh well, If I hold huge pots would be coming my way. If I dont hold, then I just have to learn to run better.
The 6/12 game was a killer, the hot Asian girl was playing and this time her husband was there too, his name was Ben. Also a Black girl that Ive seen before and plays every hand. If she has a hand she tries to play it aggressive but she spews alot because her chip stack goes up and down like a roller coaster.
Pretty much I knew this was going to be a great action table with a aggressive game. I need to practice handling aggressive players, I get timid and passive and usually don't make plays back so i normally get dominated by them.
First hand I played was Pocket QQ, I raised Ben raises back it gets called by a couple player i reraised and he caps it. 4 players to the flop. Flop 6510. Good looking flop, I bet he raises i reraise and it gets capped. Over pair I am thinking? hopefully not aces or kings. Turn was a 4. I bet and he still raise. I just called we are head up. river 3. Horrible card really. 2 or a 7 gives you a straight but the pots big and all i can do is check call. I checked and he bets and i made the call. He shows me Pocket 3 for the river set. I was like WOW!!!! Super Aggressive!!! Nice hand nice hand. PUKE!!!!
Which lead to the very next hand where I get pocket AA.
Now its a kill pot. Ben Killed it with his win. Its get limp and i raised. by the time it get back to me it was capped. I was like wow no way am i going to be able to hold with this hand. At least 6 to the flop. Flop is K78. I bet all called ( not good in my book) Turn was a 6 I bet and only Ben wife called. River was a 6 which i thought was a safe card I bet and she raised. I called and she showed 56 for running trips but flopped open ended. Ouch.

Capital Casino 5/1/09 Free Falling
So I went to Cap today after picking up my 4runner from my godfather house. The list was long but Tony and the Santi was there playing already. By the time i got a seat at a 4/8kill game it was at least 21/2 hours of waiting. But I will make this short as i have to get up early tomorrow for a wedding.
4/8 kill + $135
6/12 + $145
Total for the evening: +280.
I will post some hands when I can but pretty much at one point i was up 2 racks on 6/12 and it free fall all the way down to 40 bucks and back up to where i cashed out at 145 for the night on 6/12.
OK I am back to post a quick history. When I got onto the 6/12 table, Happy the dealer was dealing cards. After a few hands Happy ask where is my crazy friend? I was like who? you know the one you two always go crazy raising each other. I looked at Nick and was like huh???? She said hmmm maybe i am mistaken, I was like I don't know maybe your right. Right then she dealt me pocket qq. I raised and another player raises and I capped it. I wasn't too sure how many players there was but once the river came I was in a checking mood when it look like a possible straight was on the board. The very next hand i get queens again. I raised and I believe it gets capped and once again I flopped a set. I took it down on the turn. Sorry I cant really remember too much on how my hands were played.

A little pissed off.
Well I am a little mad right now. When ever I get a bank roll going that I think would be a decent amount something comes up. The last month or so I had to do some repairs on both my car. My IS300 needed new tires and I had to buy some so I used my poker roll to pay for it. Not cheap since I have to get low profile type of tires to go with the car. Now my 4runner is finnaly fixed after like 2 months of sitting around my moms friend mechanic. Its basically just a tune up. Nothing too expensive. Dealers like 400-500 bucks only. SO i figure this guy should be cheap. after all is done my mom tells me its 500 bucks. 125 for labor and the rest are parts. I was like WTF!!!! She showed me the invoice..........
It looks like this:
4runner: 97 dollars, spark plugs, wires, oil, and flushing out the radiator and stuff.
Rav 4: 300 bucks, New breaks and roters etc.
??????????????????
Rav 4?????????
wtf???????
thats my little brother car!!!!!!!!!!
I said to my mom why the FUCK am i paying for his crap?????
Because she cant afford it....
Wait why are you paying for it why isn't he paying for it!!!!
WTF!!!!! If i don't pay for it my mom has to pay for it!!!!
This pisses me off to no end.
What a useless piece of crap!!!!

Capital Casino 4/25/09
So after work i wanted to go to play but i forgot it was my friends bday bbq and he said to join him right after work. But i got a call saying it was moving to Faces. If you don't know Faces its a gay club but is considered one of the best clubs in Sacramento right now. 3 dance floors and a pool with different type of music in each room. He pretty much said it be fucked up if i don't go to celebrate his bday so i pop up and found it very interesting. allot of straight couples were there and alot of gay people too. very respectful too each other. i never saw anything too out of hand. Lucky for me the bday boy was drunk and his gf was out of it and they needed a ride home so i took then home and grab dinner with my friend Steve. Afterwards i got to Cap at 2ooam and their was still a waiting list for both game except the no limit game which is a no no in my book. after 30 plus min waiting i finally got a seat on the 6/12 game. It was weird i player plays every hand and raises the flop all the time his chips was up and down but he never re bought. One player they called him the pro because they said he was the best player. of course they never played with the santi. A mommy which was agro but played solid hands. A white boy who seemed solid and the rest was the typical donk.
It started off pretty bad pocket 10 and i raised the flop was k23. one player called which is the player that plays every hand. (I call him Ass in this report.) he was the only caller and the turn was a 9, i bet he called and the river was 9 i checked he bets i called. he said i knew i should have raised you on the turn. He showed k9 for the boat. I was like wow
Few hand later pocket 10 again i raised next player reraise and it gets capped 5 to the flop. Flop came A 5 9 rainbow. checked to me i bet and all called. At that point i knew i was dead. the turn was a 9 checked to me and i checked and the last to act bets couple called i decided to lay it down. river was k and the winner shows pocket aces for a boat. wow weird play he says he wanted to raise on the turn but i checked which messed him up.
next thing i know I had to do a rebuy.
But things finally turn around. I got pocket 5 under the gun i limped in next player raised 4 callers i called. flop came 57q. I checked player bets i all called back to me and i raised everyone calls. turn was 3, i bet couple folded and 2 callers. river was 6. i bet out and ass raised i was like damn it he has a 4 in his hand for the crappy runner runner straight. i called and he said two pairs. I was like oh I have a set. He showed 76 for a two pairs and i took down a decent size pot.
Another hand sb pocket 8 and its a kill. 4 players limp i called and bb raised. everyone calls and i called. flop came 10 8 3 rainbow. I checked bb bets all called i raised and everyone called. Turn was 2 clubs giving a club draw. I bet 3 folded and it was Ass and another player and me to the river. River was qc hitting a runner runner club and i decided just to check call since this was a kill hand but i wonder if it was a value bet or not. Ass bets it out the next player fold and i have the worst gut feeling in the world thinking he hit runner runner for a club flush. I called and showed AQ for a river q i showed my set and he said wow no raise? i was like i didn't like the flush. Momma said see i was right he too tight and passive. I don't think so but maybe i am.
Won a couple small pots and lost a couple big pots but by 530 the game was breaking up, George was asleep on the table and the greatest player on the table said this game too easy i am done and racked up and left. the solid white guy which wasn't too solid busted out and it went 5 handed and George said he was going to skip this round leaving it 4 handed i said Sorry folks i don't like 4 handed if George wakes up i will play but i don't like 4 handed play. so it breaks and i cashed out.
Over all
6/12 = + 166
cant complain came back from a rack down and made a profit.
It started off pretty bad pocket 10 and i raised the flop was k23. one player called which is the player that plays every hand. (I call him Ass in this report.) he was the only caller and the turn was a 9, i bet he called and the river was 9 i checked he bets i called. he said i knew i should have raised you on the turn. He showed k9 for the boat. I was like wow
Few hand later pocket 10 again i raised next player reraise and it gets capped 5 to the flop. Flop came A 5 9 rainbow. checked to me i bet and all called. At that point i knew i was dead. the turn was a 9 checked to me and i checked and the last to act bets couple called i decided to lay it down. river was k and the winner shows pocket aces for a boat. wow weird play he says he wanted to raise on the turn but i checked which messed him up.
next thing i know I had to do a rebuy.
But things finally turn around. I got pocket 5 under the gun i limped in next player raised 4 callers i called. flop came 57q. I checked player bets i all called back to me and i raised everyone calls. turn was 3, i bet couple folded and 2 callers. river was 6. i bet out and ass raised i was like damn it he has a 4 in his hand for the crappy runner runner straight. i called and he said two pairs. I was like oh I have a set. He showed 76 for a two pairs and i took down a decent size pot.
Another hand sb pocket 8 and its a kill. 4 players limp i called and bb raised. everyone calls and i called. flop came 10 8 3 rainbow. I checked bb bets all called i raised and everyone called. Turn was 2 clubs giving a club draw. I bet 3 folded and it was Ass and another player and me to the river. River was qc hitting a runner runner club and i decided just to check call since this was a kill hand but i wonder if it was a value bet or not. Ass bets it out the next player fold and i have the worst gut feeling in the world thinking he hit runner runner for a club flush. I called and showed AQ for a river q i showed my set and he said wow no raise? i was like i didn't like the flush. Momma said see i was right he too tight and passive. I don't think so but maybe i am.
Won a couple small pots and lost a couple big pots but by 530 the game was breaking up, George was asleep on the table and the greatest player on the table said this game too easy i am done and racked up and left. the solid white guy which wasn't too solid busted out and it went 5 handed and George said he was going to skip this round leaving it 4 handed i said Sorry folks i don't like 4 handed if George wakes up i will play but i don't like 4 handed play. so it breaks and i cashed out.
Over all
6/12 = + 166
cant complain came back from a rack down and made a profit.
Capital Casino 4/23/09
I joined the Santi after i had gotten off work. It was a Thursday night but I was off the next day to go see wicked(which was Awesome). I joined the santi and he was in the 6/12 game. I place my name on the list and got seated on the 4/8kill game. I folded alot and it was a fun table and they were saying to me if i was ever going to play a hand and i told them i would if i get a suited connector or something close to it because all i was seeing we 82, 10 3 hands like that. Ricky the dealer join my game and i get aa i raised and everyone called it was 7 handed. The flop came ak5 and i bet out Ricky raises and a couple other called i reraise and Ricky caps it and its 4 to the turn. 8 came i bet Ricky raise everyone else folds i reraise and Ricky said pocket ace? see you only play nut hand u will never make money but i call you i cant fold top two. river was a blank and i bet he calls and i showed my set of aces. By the time i got called to the 6/12 game i was up 144.
6/12 game was dominated by the sexy hot Asian girl. She must have had at least 4-5 racks in front of her. It started off slow but by the time i was done i was up a rack plus. I cant really remember much hands but twice i got pocket aces and twice i hit a ace on the flop. One on a kill hand too but never got past the turn everyone folded by then. Pretty much Santi said i played good nothing too funky. Which is a relief in my mind. I haven't played with the santi much but i feel i am playing very good right now, I need to turn up the plays a bit and raise more hands and bluff more pots. I think i gotten my donk hands out of my system now. I don't make those gut feeling on playing low crap card limping in. So I am feeling good on my plays.
Over all.
4/8 = + 140
6/12 = + 226
total profit of 366.

Its been awhile since my last post.
Where have I been? who knows? I am always lost and confuse. I've been playing alot just havent really blogged anything because I just dont have the time. Since the last time i blogged its been like 7 month since i last posted something. I think during that time, I have been to Vegas at least 4 times. Maybe Cache Creek like 3 times. But been going to Capital Casino like at least 40 times during that span. They have a 6/12 game now that i played alot on since it started. I think the first 2 times i played i have ran well. Then the rest have been minor ups and down. Since i cant really say how I have been running i will just give a brief update on my last 3 trips i have done for poker.
March 28-30th I was in Vegas for a bachelor party. Every time I tried to play in the 10/20 or 8/16 game it broke or was running short handed that i know i am at a disadvantage at. So I ended up playing No limit 1-2 at the Monte Carlo. I was running pretty well and was up like 200 after a 300 max buy in. SO i had a little over 500 in front of me. Till i came across this hand. aj suited. bb and middle positon raise to 12 i called and i think two other called. flop came kq10. Boom i flopped the nuts. I check till it reached the raiser who bets it comes to me and i check raised him to 100 more. He reraise me back a amount i don't remember and it pretty much was all in at that point. We showed our cards and he flopped q 10 for two pairs and i showed my straight. Pot was pretty much over 1000. I was drooling thinking about racking in that pot. He started screaming give me a 10 and BOOM a ten came on the turn. Game over for me. I suck at this freaking No limit crap. I thought i was done playing no limit when i came back the next night and saw the table full of drunks and i thought well i got to give this a shot. By the end of the night I made 600+ on no limit. I love playing with drunk players calling with bottom pair. Its nothing but awesome ness.
April 17-19th. Vegas again!
It started off pretty bad. no 8/16 running and 10/20 was a miss. Till my last night there. It was about 130 am and i got onto the 10/20 game. Pretty much keeping this short. After 2 and a half hours of play and the game got short handed I left up 900 for the short time i was there. I felt a little bad that it was kind of a hit and run. But once it got 5 handed and once in a while 4 handed a player would get up and take a break i knew i was at a disadvantage. I usually play really bad short handed. I think I am not aggressive enough once it get short handed. I usually get my ass handed to me.
Here is big pot: BB pocket 6 or 3 I forget already but lets go with pocket 3. under the gun raise two callers and i called. flop came 3c jd 10d. i check under the gun bets, call momma who loves the santi raises i check raise, undergun calls other player called momma reraised and i capped it all called. Turn was Ac i bet utc called, next player fold, momma raised i reraised thinking if she can still raise back i am calling down. utc called and mamma decided to call. River was a 2 of club and i bet utc called and momma called. I showed my set and everyone mucks. utc said he had ak of diamonds and momma said she flopped two pairs with her j10. Big pot i was loving it.
Another big hand was k10 suited on the bb. Under the gun raised again( how unlucky can he be) there was a good 4 callers and i called. Flop was beautiful AQJ rainbow. I checked utg checked i was like damn i may have missed my check raise. But lucky momma bets and i raised, utg checked raised also. it gets capped and it was 3 to the turn. The turn was 9, i bet out and he raised momma calls i reraised he calls and momma calls. river was a harmless 5 and i bet and they both called. I showed my nut straight and i he showed pocket jj. momma said she had ak and couldn't let it go with a possible straight draw too.
Two huge pots = lots of money!!! =)
10/20 = + 900
4/8= + 60
over all a good trip. It covered my spending which included drinks food and clubbing which totaled to be around 1000 bucks in spending.
