7/3: Capitol Casino - 15/30 (wtf?) and 4/8 Kill
What the hell? Yeah you read right. The Supernit played 15/30, but only for an hour, because I am the Supernit.
15/30: TSP - 1 hr. TP: -$100
4/8 Kill: TSP - 2.5hr. TP: +$100
Prior to talking about the short time of 15/30, the 4/8 Kill was cool, made some hands hold and ended up a rack from that; not anything of note to mention.
So yeah, in lieu of the 9/18 Kill game at Capitol, they have started spreading a 15/30 game which is hugely out of my bankroll. They only reason I played the 15/30 was because I was railing it, and I saw countless 4/8 plays. People coldcalling 2 bets with shit, playing uber loose, and just making horrible plays. I figured fuck it, why not put my name on the list it will never get called, Whoops. The wait at Capitol was horrendous, the 4/8 list was about 15+ deep and I didn't end up getting called until an hour of the 15/30 game.
So quick rundown of my experience:
-The 2/3 blind structure makes for looser completing requirements.
-The players were a tiny bit better, but not amazing, definitely noticeable
-Knew when to lay down Aces.
A quick HH:
Hero is UTG+2 w/ the black AA.
UTG open limps.
Folded to Hero, Hero raises.
Called by HJ, Button, both SB, BB and UTG.
Flop: 854 rainbow
SB checks, BB donks, UTG calls, Hero raises, folded back to BB who 3-bets, UTG calls, Hero caps all call.
Thoughts???
With the BB donking,I thought two pair, or even a set. The thing that really made me think. What was the UTG guy calling 2 bets cold back to him, crazy?
Turn: 6
Shit, that pretty much killed my hand. BB leads out, UTG calls, Hero folds.
River was a King.
Showdown went like this:
BB had 67 for the flopped nut straight, and UTG showed 57os for the turned gutty to tie.
That was all dirty, but gotta lay em down when you are beat.
So, when I get rolled, like in 2 years, I will be frequenting this game.
Hopefully, the 9/18 game will be running of Friday and I will get in about 5 hours.
And, this just in; my sister, (easy Nik), turns 21 in August and there is another trip to Las Vegas and the Mirage in the works.

7/5: Blog Neglect and Las Vegas Round 1
Well, where the hell have I been???? Its been a blur of the last 3-plus months. Here is a little update of what has happened in the life of the Supernit:
-Graduated w/ B.S. in Civil Engineering from CSU Sacramento (good bye to school)
-Started full time (pay raise woot) w/ URS (U Really Suck Engineering Inc.)
-Girlfriend (Vanessa) has now moved into our apartment
-Visited Las Vegas to meet the CP crew (ups to Duece, Pika, Shabba, Luske, and Eusebio all were chill cats)
Oh yeah....
Played lots of poker that I have neglected to blog about so here it goes.
For the months leading up to graduation, the Superstar and the Superdonk played countless sessions at Cache Creek and Capitol Casino. From every single session I found myself learning a ton about leaks in my game and spots where I need to be betting and taking down pots that no one wants.
On that same note, there were not that many things to note of from the sessions that I played in California. Las Vegas was a whole other ball game. The game in LV is, as the Santi said, a little softer than that of the casinos and cardrooms here in CA.
As was the plan, I stepped up to 10/20 all at the Mirage and found out the game is not any different from the 4/8 Kill that I usually play. It was a great experience, and I can't wait to go back soon.
All in all, the LV trip boasted a total profit of $430 from roughly 22 hours (mixed 4/8 half-kill, Omaha 8-or-Better, and 10/20) of play which payed for the trip and the nights out later in the week that Vanessa and I had.
-Cheers
