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!
