Session No. 33 Capitol Casino (2/22 & 2/23)

4/8-Kill: TP = +$200 TSP = 10 Hrs

Well at the Superstar's request I am updating. I am just busy with graduating and having no luck putting off becoming an adult. Adulthood = Bad. With Graduation a short 3 months away I gotta get in some awesomeness before life officially starts (to suck).

College = Great :-)

But I digress... After a No. 1 and No. 2 Animal Style at the new In-N-Out the Santi and I figured there was nothing better to do than play some cards in the afternoon on a Friday, and we headed down to Cap and were seated at about 2:30 and minimal waiting time.

I was quickly off to an ospicious start running decent hands into the nuts and calling down. And whiffing some overs, and having no draws hit.

Here is a hand where I thought played badly:

Hero in in Hi-Jack w/ AsTs

UTG limps, someone in MP limps, Hero Raises, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls, and rest call.

Flop: A Q J Rainbow

Checked to Hero who bets, SB folds, BB raises (2 pair?), UTG folds, MP calls (put him on weak ace), Hero calls.

Turn: J

BB leads, UTG folds (wtf???? 99 maybe), Hero Calls (I figured that if he had the straight, I can tie/win with 6 cards, weak move pretty much committed myself to calling the river)

River: 3 bah

BB bets, Hero Calls.

BB tables KTos. Hero mucks. Oh well should have laid it down on the turn. Didn't really have a read on the guy so far, he seemed to play tighter than most at Cap.

After that I lost some kill pots w/ AK twice, and AJ once. Before I knew it I was reaching for the 3rd hundred in the wallet, and an orbit or so later this hand happened:

Hero UTG w/ 99 (getting no raises respected at this point sweet!! <3 Live Players)

Hero raises, called by someone in MP, and CO, SB calls, and BB calls (5 to the flop)

Flop: 9 6 5 rainbow

Checked to Hero who bets, called by MP, and CO, SB folds, BB calls. (great I gotta fade some straight draws)

Turn: 4 (Ugly card, 2 flush in diamonds out also)

Checks to Hero, who bets, MP folds, CO raises, BB folds, Hero calls. (Shit, 1 time pair the board)

River: 4 Booooooom!!!

Now I gotta Donkbet so I can at least get 1 more bet from some guy overplaying his 2 pair, or straight.

So Hero donkbets, CO pauses and says "Raise", Ha Ha!!! 3-Bet FTW. CO calls.

I hear Santi go, " 9's full FTW " Yup.

CO shows 87os for the flopped straight. Gotta love when your UTG raises are called by offsuit connectors :-)

I rake in a healthy pot, and then proceed to make 99 a winner over KK with a straight flush against an all-in Reggie Jackson looking Filipino man who ran absolutely horrible the entire day. Then rivered the nut straight in a medium pot, and had a couple 2 pair hands w/ 97s and A6s not got to showdown and I found myself up close to 120 after being down almost 300.

Then this hand occured where I went into life nit mode:

Hero is OTB w/ KsQs.

1 limper, Santi Raises from Hi-Jack, CO calls, Hero calls, SB folds, BB calls, and limper calls.

Flop: Q T (rag)

Checked to the Santi who bets out, CO folds, Hero raises, BB folds, limper folds, Santi 3-bets, Hero calls. (At this point, I think I might have the same hand as Nik, but unlikely, He most likely has AA-KK, AQ, or TT)

Turn: 7

Santi bets, Hero folds. Later he tells me he had AQ, I should have been able to showdown top pair their, but hey I am the Super-Nit.

Had another hand against the Disabled guy in the wheel chair where I had AK in a kill pot flopped an Ace and bet flop but not the turn cause flush got there. Same thing happened when I flopped a King w/ KTos from the SB and flush and straight got there on the turn so I didn't bet, and it was heads up. Live and learn/bet.

After finding trips on the river against the Superstar, we decided to call it a night and I left up $140, and Nik just didn't run good at all and dropped a little bit.

________________________________________________________________

About 24 hours later, bored and recovering from getting hammered w/ the lovely Vanessa, Mike and Shawn the night before, I hit up the SuperDonk to see if he was interested in a little Capitol action.

Dam the waiting time at Capitol on a Saturday night, it sucks!!! I got there about 8 and proceeded to read War and Peace, eat a club sandwich, call Alycia, solve world hunger, and hate waiting more.

Didn't get seated until 10:15 or so atrocious 2+ hours of waiting?????

After hearing from the SD, he mentioned he was gonna be late and didn't show up until 12:30 or so , but oh well.

Played pretty standard most of the night (4 hrs 10:15-2:15) and even got some flushes to hold only a couple hands of note.

As side from the fact that there was a guy on the SD's table who had 1600 in chips. Are you shitting me???? NO! This guy had a sick rush, every hand he was in he won. His wife was 2 seats on my left she was LAGGY as shit but hit every dam hand, couldn't believe it.

Here is a good hand:

Hero is in BB w/ Qc2c.

5 see the flop including (Sue a.k.a My Grandma a.k.a "Queen High Ship It")

Long story short:

I flop frush, turn gives Sue Top Pair Nut frush draw, I raise turn, 2 people call down!

Nice.

Well, I am out.

Might, and I say Might play Friday w/ El Santi.

-Out

Session No. 28 & No.31/32 Cache Creek and Capitol Casino (2/6 & 2/12)

4/8-Kill: TP (at both Places = -$70 TSP = 12.5 Hrs

Cache 4/8 Kill: TP = $85 TSP = 7.5 Hrs
Capitol 4/8 Kill: TP = -$155 TSP = 5 Hrs

Obviously still not running well. I need to find the cheat to unlock the Santi-esque God Mode like in Doom and Duke Nukem.

I really learned a ton a Capitol the other night and will blog about that later.

So here is you dam blog update superstar; stay tuned for something later about the AQ of spades hand, and the Red Aces hand as well as me continually getting into it with other players at the table.

Session No. 28 & No.29/30 Cache Creek and Capitol Casino (1/30 & 2/1)

4/8-Kill: TP (at both Places = -$100 TSP = 9 Hrs

Boooo. I am in a little bit of a down swing at the moment, looking to make the month a lot better than the atrocious month on January.

Any way, not anything to big to report except:

In both sessions I ran Kings into Aces, nice.

Got 3bet by 36os, T6os, and an assortment of other random crap that of course hit.

I am just waiting to run better. I know that I am not playing badly, just running bad.

I did get to hit a pretty sick 2 outer today at Capitol HH to come later.
