Limelight and Lucky Derbry: Two Short Sessions

Lucky Derby: 4/8 Half-Kill: TP = +$40 TSP = 2 Hrs
Limelight: 3/6 Half-Kill: TP = +$20 TSP = 1Hr 30 Mins

Well I haven't been playing live since my last trip to Cap a few weeks back, and I thought that this week I would check out some of the other Cardrooms in Sacramento.

Overall opinion of these places:

Limelight: The players were soooooo aggressive and terrible. I actually saw one just 3-bet pre-flop with K5os vs my TT, and of course he won. But you pretty have to go to showdown with the nuts, because I have never seen players just call w/ and Ace and try to hit, or just look for that wicked two pair draw. Didn't really like the structure, tooo small, it was pretty boring to me.

Lucky Derby: This was the opposite end of the spectrum. The players were sooo passive. Everyone limped around and just was passive as all hell. When I was first moved to the table from the normal 4/8 game, I was dealt AK and raised it up, everyone said wow woah woah??? What you doing that for??? As I got 5 callers and took down the pot with a C-bet. Not one pot was 3bet pre-flop, that pissed me off. The structure of the game is pretty odd, they have no Small Blind, wtf? But I might make another trip back there.

As for the issue of my play. I got a little to loose in MP w/ a suited Ace at LL and lots a couple bets in a pot that I shouldn't have been involved in. I ran TPTK into a set and had to call down against a prop player at the Derby. But all in all I feel that I played fairly decent and stayed disciplined. I played pretty straight forward and didn't go for the unsure CR.

At Lucky Derby I was up about 85 at one point but I blinded and whiffed my way down w/ overs and AK/AQ to +40 but that is way it goes. I had one huge combo nut flush straight draw that didn't come in which would have been a huge 100+ pot but oh well...

I give the Limelight a 5 out of 10, and Lucky Derby a 7.5 out of 10.
