Capitol Casino: 9/12 & 9/18 - 4/8 Kill

To start some results:

9/12: TP: -$100 TSP: 6 Hrs
9/18: TP: +$120 TSP: 4 Hrs

Continuing with the theme of September, alternating sessions have been a loser and then a winner respectively.

I have done some reflecting on my play particularly in the losing sessions, and I found that I have become a tab bit less aggro, booo. Also, on that same note, I noticed that I may be folding my borderline playable hands from the SB against a raise and a caller. In particular hands like the J9s-QJs, and the KJos hands.

To remedy this, and to prepare for the upcoming Super Friends (Star, Donk, & Nit) Poker Classic, (also starring Duece, and Shabba), in Vegas I played a little more online and threw some chips around. Same thing with the last live 4/8 session that I played.

I won't really go into detail about the 9/12 session, I played bad, and I knew it. Basically I had to remember what the Superstar told me a long time ago, "If there is a question of 'should you raise?' the answer is always yes." So I re-adapted this mantra and told myself just to work on the aggro again.

So with this in place I hit the tables at Cap after the new Curry Beef Stir Fry Dish (+1 to the Capitol Kitchen), and adding Nik to the 9/18 list I was called of course to the Pai Gow room. As an aside, Cap has wheel spin in place now if you have Trip Tens or better beat (not including straights). There was a guy on my table that spun 2x in 10 min for a total profit of $550; too bad he probably gave at least half of it back that same night, LOL.

The first three hours were pretty lame have a couple hands hold in medium sized pots which floated me at or above even until I was moved into the main room to another 4/8table where I had trip dueces snapped off in a monster pot by another guy who hit his 6 kicker to fill up on the river. Fwiw, I had 72os in the BB, I run goooooot.

I didn't really get involved in a massive pot until I was moved to the Kill table with many familiar faces including Sue, Tina, Vo (Azn guy who hero called me down a few weeks ago, decent for Cap player), and antoher Filipino cat who is OK put seemed to piss me off for going running two pair vs. my over pair w/ J3os UTG mind you, w/e though.

The hand summary went ah-lika-ah dis:

Hero raises w/ KQos after 3 limpers, folded to Sue on the button who calls. Flop is Q-high with 2 diamonds (I have none), Flop is capped 5 ways, I bet the turn called by 3, but the diamond hits the river and Sue makes her flush w/ 96 of diamonds, oh well, that is std for live 4/8.

An orbit later:

Hero is dealt A9 of diamonds in mid position.
UTG, UTG+1, and the Guy immediately to my right limp in, Hero raises, Called by Sue in the SB, Tina in the BB, and everyone else.

Flop: T:d:4:d:8:s:

Sue leads out, Tina Raises, UTG, and UTG+1 call 2 cold, guy folds, Hero 3-bets, Sue Caps, and all call.

Turn: 5:s:

Sue leads, Tina, and everyone including Hero call.

River: 8:d: (boom)

Checked to Hero who bets, all call. Hero rakes.

That hand put me at about even for the night. It was getting late (for the Super-life-nit) so I told myself 1 more orbit when this hand came up:

Hero in MP w/ AQos, and Vo posted behind me.

Limped in 3 spots, Hero raises, called by Vo, the Button (Filipino guy), SB, BB and all limpers.

Flop: AxT:s:9:s:

Checked to BB who donks, called by limpers to Hero who raises, Vo insta-3bets, folded back to BB who caps, all call.

Turn: A:c:

Checked to hero (wtf?) who bets, called by everyone. Now I know I at least get a wheel spin if someone gets a goofy straight/flush/boat but w/e.

River: Q:d: (Glorious)

Checked to Hero who bets out, Vo folds, BB, and one other limper calls.

Hero shows Aces full of Queens and rakes. The BB claimed to have AJ but, yeah that was a bunch of crap so. I had 2 more hands, which folded; then confirmed Mongo Reservations with Nik for Friday (std) and then took off.

Thanks for reading.

On a unrelated note, if Tim Lincecum doesn't get the Cy Young this year the writers and voter need to be shot.

-That is all, out.
