Getting ready for non stop poker action!!!

For the last week or so since my schedule dosent allow me to play, I've been doing some reading and mentally preparing myself for a week of non stop poker action coming up when I leave for vegas. At first all I could find was hellmuth "play poker like a pro" but after some long searches I finally found skalansky small stakes holdem in my garage last week. I've read it through once last week and right now I've been concentrating a lot on per flop plays and flop plays. I know my biggest problem right now is my preflop play. I've got the "SAG" blood in me so a lot of cards looks good to me to play. But right now I'm really starting to understand proper cards and position of what to play. In vegas I got to step up my game. Even though I'm planning to play either 6/12 or 10/20 hold em mainly or 8/16 if they have it, I don't want to be the fish on the table. At the creek I'm usually the tag of the table unless the santi or Tony is at my table then they usually a lot more aggressive than me for some reason. But now I'm entering vegas when its the wsop happening and there's gonna be a lot of players there. And the worst thing that I want is to be painted the fish at the table when I want to be the shark.

Well hopefully all my reading isn't for nothing. I plan to play either sat night or sun before I leave for my poker extravaganza.

So hopefully I learned from my reading and imporove on 3 of my greatest weakness.
-selecting proper playing cards to play
-know my position and not limp in with crap cards.
-Raise or fold should be my main options preflop.

Cache Creek Round 2

As I said I was planning on going back to the creek today and I did. Funny thing though was when I got there there was like 3 tables running of 4/8 and a list of 20 people waiting for a seat. So I went to grab a bite to eat and when i returned the list didn't change. Since all the chairs were taken and i didn't feel like standing and wait, I went to my car to take a nap.

Fast forward two hours........

Its now Midnight and i woke up from my nap. I went downstairs and saw 5 tables running with no list. COOL..... Now I'm refresh and i sit right into a open seat. After 3 table breaks and drawing the worst cards for the open seats at another table I think i played like a total of 4 1/2 hours with a profit of $390 at the tables. Not bad if i do say so myself. I didn't start to run good till my 3rd table when i went on a heated and won like 4 hands in a row twice. That felt great.... But kind of bad because I had crap cards and was winning with them. But what can I say....

Well most of my hands went pretty standard last night. My first table I would win a hand and then lose the very next hand with top 5 playing cards. It made it look like I was way too aggressive. But hey i am not limping in with aces or ak like most donks at the creek.

One hand That i was pretty pissed off with was pockets 8 on the bb. Alot of callers and we saw the flop of 987 rainbow. I did a check raise but a player on seat 8 reraised me and we capped it to the turn. 3 players to the turn now. I'm thinking pair the board pair the board. Turn comes 9 BOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I check and the next player bets. Seat 8 raises and when it came to me I reraised. The that player i think he was seat 4 or 5 thought about it and folded the hand in frustration. Seat 8 caps it and we are heads up. River 2..... BAM baby i think i have the total lockdown on this hand. I bet out seat 8 raises, I reraise, and he reraised it right back to me.... I'm like in total awe..... Damn it did he flop 2 pairs and turn a bigger boat than me???? Its heads up and we can keep raising all we want, but now i decided to just call. He shows..... and I was about to shit in my pants when he turn over 92 for a bigger boat!!!!! That's so sick i was puking all over the guy next to me!!!! He went crazy with 9,2 !!!!!!!! WTF!!!!! ARE U shitting me!!!!!!

Well i will blog more later I'm fallng asleep right now.

Cache creek blog while waiting for a seat.

Well that's right I'm blogging while I'm waiting for a seat. I got here around 2am and there was 3 tables plus a list. So I thought not bad it may last for a while. But as the first seat open up, they called and called till it was my turn. So I guess no waited around. So as I sat down there was some chips flying, nice pots and lots of action. Too bad I was card dead. I only played my blinds for the first 4 orbits and I never saw past the flop. Till this hand came up.

On the button with kj of spades. 3 limpers so I raised. 5 players to the flop. Flop is j54 two hearts. Good flop I think. It gets checked till it reached seat one who donk bet into me. I raised and he reraised and I capped it. I'm thinking man I hope he is on a flush draw and didn't flop a set or two pairs. Turn comes 9club not bad no strait or flush. Checks to me I bet and only he calls. River comes ace heart. Worst card ever. He checks and I checked and I showed my kj and he flips over AQ of spades??? That threw me off big time I was like wow u donk bet me with a bluff. But the guy turn out kind of cool. He thought I was a tight player and said he thought I raised with ak. I said well I still had you beat if that was true. He didn't expect me to have those cards. I'm like that's cool w/e. Well the table breaks after a few hands and we had to draw cards. I drew first and I get the 2 diamonds the lowest of the low I think. Well look like I'm next now they called the other three players now and looks like I'm next. Well hopefully that is.

Well that table didn't last too long as i sat down 3 players left. Only one other player was on the list so its 7 handed and this table had alot of donks and my hated female player that I don't know her name but she was almost busto. But as i sat down she won 4 hands in a row. She rebuilt her stack pretty quick. Now one of my favorite dealers sat down and started to deal. Soucho last time I played killed me pretty badly. But hopefully not this time. So its a kill and I'm under the gun? Well I'm first to act and I looked down and see KK so i raised it up. Only my nemesis who's the killer and the BB called which is a donk too. I think her name is sue, not the sue that plays at capital but i different sue that's normally at the creek alot. Well the flop comes and its queen high rainbow. Checks to me and i bet and they both folded. Not bad I think keep this up soucho.

Now I am in the bb and i looked down to see AK off suit. Everyone limps and i raised. All called, flops comes 7 5 2 rainbow. sb checks I bet 3 callers. Turn 10, SB bets into me and I paused and looked at Soucho and he smirks and shakes his head, I laughed and said i guess im no good now and fold. 2 callers and the river came q. Momma bets and one my nemesis calls. And sb shows 10 7 for two pairs and take down the pot. Well I thought Soucho liked me but i guess he still favors the santi.

Well a player left and now were 6 handed. Sb I get 10 8 suited and with a flop of 79A. I bet out and get 2 callers, Turn comes another A this is were I'm not sure if i played this right but i decided to check since there was two callers and either one could have a Ace in there hand. Seat 2 bets and seat 3 calls and I called. Maybe I should have folded?? But i blanked out the river and seat 2 bets and seat three folds and so do I. Seat two laughs it up a bit and showed ace duece off. Well he was ahead the whole way. But bad turn call? I gotta ask the santi.

Now I'm on the Button and its 5 handed, one player got up to go smoke. I looked down to see pocket 6. This is another question I have, 5 handed and I get pocket pair on the button first to act folds next Sue calls and now its on me I decided to raise. Too spewey? SB and BB calls and so does sue. flop comes AJQ. Argh..... that was pretty bad flop. All check to me and I bet and all called. Yikes!!!!! Not good! The Turn is 8, SB checks BB bets out. Sue calls and I fold and SB folds. River i think made a possible flush but sue didn't call. BB showed 10,9 off for a straight. But over all Makes me wonder was that a preflop call or raise? In my mind that should be a easy raise especially short handed. But Maybe not. Another santi question for him to ridicule me on.

Well after that a couple more orbits pass and the table breaks and I'm down 8 bucks for the night. I cashed out but One thing i did which was bad was The creek has this new slot machine that has EBAY on it. while I looked at it I just had to throw in a 20 bucks in it to try it out. The machine has been crowded most of the night since i guess alot of people wanted to try it out. Well so did I. A few pulls later and I saw a old asian lady started to scream, She sat right next to me and her friends were around her while she was playing and she hit a nice little jackpot for about 1200 bucks. Good for her, Fuck me, for picking the wrong seat to sit in. Well my 20 bucks went fast and I picked up a rockstar to drink on the way home. I plan on playing again today so hopefully this time it will go better.

Lates All.

What have I been up to? Well pretty much I haven't played much in a while and when I have its been a spanking.I think the last four trips has been losers so yeah it sucks big time ass. Also been a little rusty since I haven't played all to often.

My last session I actually came up for once for about a 60 dollar profit. Considering the trip before I drop 180, and who knows how much I drop before that and I think it was 200 or something like that. Just running bad I guess. During these time when I run bad I need to cut my bleeding more. I need to continue the same play and not play scared. When I play scare I'm not maximizing my profit when I do win a hand.

So on my last session I was sitting at oppisite table with the santi. When I sat down I was enjoying my table it was truly a donk fest. Big pots with a lot of callers. It was music to my ears seeing so many callers. But with so many callers my hand were not holding. I was losing with ak aq kk jj 1010 just couldn't maintain my lead after the flop. Next thing I know I had bought in for 360.intill I won 5 hands in a row. Most of it from a asian momma sitting on seat one that the santi kept telling me to go after. That sick bastard.

The one hand I remembered that got me back was it was like my 3rd win and I was still the killer.I get J4 off. The button had just pass me. It was 4 to the flop. Flop is j83. It gets check to me and I bet. All called. Turn was a queen. Checks to me and I continue to fire and they still all called. I'm sitting there thinking I'm way no good now. River was a blank not sure what it was but it get checked to me and I said I check I only have a jack with no kicker. Then I saw everone fold. I was like wow are you kidding me? 28 bucks preflop. 32 flop and 64 bucks on the turn and no one can beat a jack with no kicker wow oh wow I love it.

Cache Creek 3/31/08

Well I haven't played in a while, just been doing tons of house work. Spending money like it grows on trees also. But i finally have some time to play, which i did, but not a long session at all. I didn't get there till about 430. I had just found out that the aces crack promotion is only 50 bucks now. There prize pool is shrinking. They use to give out 100 bucks for aces crack and in the day time till 6pm 2500 for quads. But even that drop down to 1000 now. So it really changes things now Especially how to play aces now. When I played I played for about 3 hrs before going on a dinner break and played another 3 hours after that. I wrote this in a email to Tony and I just decided to copy and paste how my session went. I will also add a couple hands later on.

Its a tale of two story's. First table before i went on a dinner break.
Kill SuperDonk part one. "FOLD CITY"
3.5 hours plus 65. hands played? At most 8 including the blinds. I got raised on my blinds so much. it was a fold fest. the blinds i got to see i wiffed. Raised with ak only had it once at this point everyone folded. raised with kq suited 2 callers flop q58 two spades. turn qhearts river k boat only one caller. I got a bb fuck me over. 56 suited about 7 to the flop. flop comes 55k rainbow. i check under the gun bets everyone calls. turn 9s two spade now. I check under the gun bets all call when it hits me i check raise. all called. river qs. sb donk bets i call everyone else folds. sb shows j10s for the flush. OUCH!!!!

Kill Superdonk part 2 "The Gamble Table and the Mama that spank me to a fetal position."
3.5 hours -$85 bucks argh.......... As i return back from dinner i got placed to the only table still running. And with in the first 5 hands I notice something. I'm the only one folding and they all playing. If some one raises It gets capped. I stood up walk back to the front of the poker room and checked. AM I BACK AT CAPITAL CASINO?????
But nope i was where i was suppose to be. I was like that's fine.... I like this its 8 aggressive calling station donks and me The Superdonk. As i was folding every single hand i was talking to the guy to my left. He says dude you keep folding everyone know what u going to have if you play or raise. change it up man its only 4/8. I was like OK fine I play the next hand as long as it doesn't get raise. So I'm in the middle position and i looked down to see a8of clubs. Not bad...Normally a hand i play in late position, a little spewy to call this at my position but i thought OK decent enough to call I sure wasn't going to call some off suited crap card. So as everyone calls the good ol bb raises. And the guy next to me said come on guys i got him to play a hand don't raise it on him. so as everyone is calling i call and the bastard that sitting next to me said you know guys, my philosophy is if someone raise i gotta re raise. WHAT A ASS!!!!!!!! Everyone calls and i am sitting there looking like a ass. Flop come 258, My buddy bets all call I raise. All call. Turn 8 I bet all call. I was like what the hell. River q I bet and all fold. I took down a nice pot for playing like a donk.

So its back to folding when i get this hand on the BB its past 10 and aces crack is over. I look at two red aces. As people where limping in the button raises sb re raise and I'm like wow 3 bet 2 called button cap's and all called. Flop is q 23 two spades. I looked at momma on the button and she did the double look at her card I put her on the spade draw maybe the nut flush draw. sb bets i raise the two other callers fold momma rereaise. sb starts talking aw man I'm behind huh i have to call i got too much invested. he calls i cap it. Turn 9h Sb check i bet momma raise he call i re raise momma call he calls. River Q spades FUCK ME!!!!! SB check i check momma bets sb raises i fold mamma calls. Sb Shows q6 off for trip queens. Momma show k10spades. for the flush. WTF!!!! SHE RE RAISE WITH K10 preflop with those cards!!!! FUCK ME!!!!!!!

A few hands later. I'm in button position and it gets capped before it reaches me. I have AK SPADES family pot. Flop comes k103 two spades. bb bets middle raises momma re raise i capped. all call still family 9 handed. turn 7clubs? bb bets people start dropping momma raise i went into the tank raise or just call does momma have aces? does bb have aces or kings? I have top pair and nut flush draw. I call bb re raise momma cap's DAMN!!!! river............7spades ARGH IT PAIRED THE BOARD AND HIT MY NUT FLUSH DRAW!!!!!!!!! BB bets momma raise FUCK ME!!!! I CALLED MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE FOLDED? BB CALLS. MOMMA SHOWS POCKET KINGS FOR THE BOAT. I FOLD and BB fold. HUGE FUCKING POT HUGE HUGE HUGE!!!!! I just sit there looking like a donk. F ME And the game continues like that with me folding till it broke up at 1230.

First winning session in a long ASS time.

Cache Creek +170 for about 4 1/2 hrs


This is going to be short Its late and i am tired. Pretty much i ran pretty good today i had aces cracked for a rack! hit some big kill pots and made some soul reading and calling with my cards for the win. I did lose some big pots also but i will write about that later. The only thing I can say is Cache just changed their aces crack promotion and it only run till 10pm now. Which sucks ass!!!!!!!!. I love it when it ran till Midnight!!!!!!.


Ok Im back and heres a hand from playing.
QJD its a kill pot. I called and about 4 to the flop. The come ad 8d 4s I think. the killer bets and i called and dealer botton calls. This is were i debeated to raise or not but at my position i thought i was just in the wrong spot. Im in the middle and i could be caught in a raise war. turn was another blank and the killer bets and it went call call. river i hit the 6d Booyah!!!!! I finally hit a card. the killer checks i bet and the button calls saying he had two pairs. I showed my cards and took down the pot. I only wish i had position then i could have raised the flop and took control of the hand.

February is busto Month

Well I havent blogged much for the month because I was going busto everytime I played. Hand werent holding up at all. When I start off ok it ends up being bad beated by some one playing random two cards and Cracking my set or tptk. So it was a bad month for me. But im still improving my game even when I am not catching my card or getting my cards rapped by someone else catching some goofing running straight or flush. So instead of posting bad beats time after time again I will try to write some good hands i played right or hands I think i played wrong and looking for comments......... NAH!!!! This is the super donk if i dont post some fuck upbad beats then its just not the donk tard i am.

My last trip at capital this hand came up. This is right after tony left and Jeff buddy i call him the protege came and sat at his seat. The very second hand that he is delt with, i looked down and see AQ of spades. I raised and he reraise and i decide to cap it. about 4 to the flop. the flop K96 all spades. I bet he raise, i reraise and it gets capped. the turn 5 I bet out and he raises again saying if your going to draw out on me im going to make it expensive. Im think huh????? i got the nuts right now so it looks like you got the flopped set. I reraise and it gets capped. River all i know is avoid pairing the board.......5 sskjdkjfjfhjvnjdnvjdhkjvhjdfvnjdvnjkzv GOD DAMN IT!!!! this is where it went all hazy..... i forget if i betted or just checked and i called but when he turn his card over with a big grin i knew i was a goner........his pocket KK for the WIN!!!!
DAMN I AM GOOOOOOOD I cant holdup for one min!

Well as you can see its the life and times of the donktard!!!!!
