Cache Creek: 12/6 - 4/8 Kill

Yeah, so a night after the 4/8 Superstar made his triumphant return to Cache, I ventured up by myself (degenerate gambler status) for some 4/8 action. The Superdonk would be joining me sometime later. So I didn't feel like a complete unsocial dreg of society.

I called a few friends from work and my other job (baseball instructor) to meet me up there as well. As I heard later from them, they all did pretty decent.

Anyways, on to the action. My session started off pretty slow as I dropped roughly a rack whiffing and having the older Mexi-Gambler with a cowboy hat call my raise w/ 32os and trip up on the river against my 99 in a kill pot. For the first hour or so I just shot the shit w/ Steve (guy who reminds me of Kyle Gass of Tenacious D fame) about O8 and other random things.

After that, I noticed that my table was getting pretty short in chips and I decided to call for a table change which worked out pretty well as there were a lot of gamblers and more money on the other table. I ran pretty well, after losing the first two pots I was in. Then this hand came up:

Hero in HJ w/ AKos.

UTG raises, called by 2 including SAG w/ sunglasses (I took lots of chips from him by the end of the night for his stupid aggro-donk plays, LOL), folded to me and I 3-bet, button calls as does everyone else.

Flop: 952 rainbow (swing and a miss)

Check to me, I fire, everyone calls.

Turn: K completing rainbow.

Checked to me, I fire, folds back to SAG w/ glasses and he tanks for a bit and announces raise. I insta-call, obv not giving him any respect whatsoever.

River: T

SAG bets, I call.

I show AK thinking it was no good expecting to hear a repugnant “Two Pair.” He shows K4os. <3 Live Poker.

In the following hours TFong showed up ended up playing for a good 8 hours deep into the night. After which he was hassled by a waitress funny story, you got to hear him tell it.

So yeah, like I mentioned earlier, that SAG w/ glasses tried to limp reraise me 3x through out the night. It just so happened that I had AA, KK, and QQ each time all which held in monster pots. Especially the KK hand where I flopped top set, and was called to the river by 4 people, and then boated up.

Stats:

12/6: TP: +$250 TSP: 5.5 Hrs

All in all pretty good night. Thx to TFong, Dave, and Steve for making it out.

Played Cache again on 12/12 w/ the 4/8 Superstar during the day for some Aces Cracked Action. Spoiler alert, I hit it twice!!! But would it be enough for me to post a winning session and fend off the various limit monkeys at Cache.

Good Nite Now!
