Capitol Casino: 4/25 - 4/8 & 6/12 Kill

So I had a some time to play during the afternoon on Saturday before dinner, and rolled into Cap around 3pm. I was 3rd on the 4/8 Kill list and 7th on the 6/12 list ugg. As I reconized that the 6/12 game had Wilson, Tom, a spewey Azn guy, and some other random gamblers.

I ended up getting called for the 4/8 seat in about 10 minutes and took my place in the 7 seat next to an old soccer ref and a field of other random donks.

Both my 4/8 and later 6/12 tables didn't seem too tough at all, but I was pretty much card dead the entire session. I did see Aces once for a small win, AK for a semi nice pot after capping HU with a guy who had 99.

The only hand of note, went as follows:

Hero has the button and is deal AJ of clubs. It limped in 4 spots, and I raise, the blinds fold and UTG limp re-raises his last 4 chips, and we all call. Does anyone cap here?

Flop: J52 (2 of clubs)

Pretty sweet flop IMO. Checked to seat 4 who donks, 1 call in between and Hero raises, all call.

Turn: A of spades.

Checked to me again, I fire, all call. 4 to the river.

River A of diamonds. This turned out to be a sick, sick card.

Check to seat 4, who fires, 1 fold in between, and I raise all fold back to seat 4 who just calls.

I show AJ and rake in a monster. Turns out seat 4 flopped a set of deuces and I went runners FTW. I run gooooot!

After a while of waiting I got called for the 6/12 and sat in the 4 seat where I continued my card dead streak and didn't play a hand for 3 orbits or so outside my blinds.

I only ended up winning 1 pot before I took off in an interesting hand where I completed from the SB w/ Q4 of clubs after 4 people limped and the flop came T98 w/ the T9 of clubs. Got a bunch of bets in on the flop which was pretty std. but I really want to know is your opinion of my turn play. I will post this on CP & 67 to get some feedback.

But the short story is that I turn the flush w/ the J of clubs hitting the board. I ended up leading into the field. It would look weird to just check after playing the flop fast.

Does anyone check in the SB and hope that a Q fires the turn and go for the check raise?

Anyways, I do fire the turn and all 3 people call except the button. The river is kind of a scary card pairing the board w/ a T. I ended up nitting the river and just check calling in case some one rivered the boat.

But yeah, all in all after my session Wednesday night and Saturday afternoon, it was a pretty good week at Cap.

I finished the day:

4/8 Kill: +$130
6/12 Kill: +$70

Ain't no telling if Cache Creek will be happening this week it kinda depends on work. Otherwise, the 4/8 Superfriends, and I will be looking to put in a big session at Cache on Friday.

Capitol Casino: 4/22 - 4/8 & 6/12 Kill Wooot!

It was an interesting day down at Cap and people were in the mood to throw some chips around the felt.

I ended up having a 2 part session after a false alarm put a halt the 4/8 portion of my day and I had to take off for home. I had intentions of coming back if the 6/12 game was good, as confirmed by the 4/8 Superstar via TXT.

4/8: +90 3hrs
6/12: +140 2hrs

So I made some time to play last Wednesday after work and met The Santi down at Cap around 6 to find him already seated at 4/8 just putting along.

So, not too many hands of note besides the fact that there were 2 drunk off shift dealers that proceeded to try and spew chips to everyone. One female Azn dealer in particular, open raised alot and every time that she did I turned up with a monster. I had Aces twice, QQ once, AK once, and AQ once, all holding for the day.

I will only talk about 1 hand from my 4/8 session. I am in MP w/ two black Aces, its limped in 3 spots, I raise, folded to button who raises all in for 3 more and all call. The flop comes A68 all hearts, checked to me I fire all call. Turn is the J of spades, checked to me I bet all call. River is a diamond...the Ace of Diamonds. Checked to me I bet my quads, and get 1 caller. Turns out the button flopped a queen high flush and the caller flopped 2 pair w/ 68os. So that was a nice pot.

After I returned from what I will call an extended bathroom break, I returned intending to meet Santi for some food. However I ended up playing 6/12 instead as the game got real fishy w/ two players who were complete tards and like to call 3bets cold w/ Q5 and things of that nature so it was a great game.

I will just give a greater than less than because I have no patience right now.

AT > ?? HU pot

55 > 3 players when I didn't bet the flop & turn after the SB raise and it checked to me

AK < Q5 Maj called three bets cold and raised the flop after hitting his queen.

AJ < T7 in a Kill pot where I held off a straight draw.

99 > Ax (2x) I flopped a set, after opening UTG+1 and got three bets in on the flop, and bet it the whole way down.

That is all for now, I might make it out to Cap tomorrow late afternoon-ish. If there is no blog on Sunday, look for a blog next Thursday night after a hopefully lengthy Cache session which will include some Aces Cracked Action, Woooooot.

Capitol Casino: 4/10 - Running Awful and Card Dead, What a Pair!

Well it was a wonderful day in Sacramento today, birds singing, trees around the outside of the office reaking of dank twat, and charging only to overhead the entire weak gotta love it. Since the last blog I had to actually put my BR back in the bank for a time, didn't want to have random amount of cash lying around the house.

So I hit Wells Fargo after a bowl of Mongo w/ Santi, a Friday tradition <3 Mongo. And as a plus, the Superdonk made it out, woot.

But enough of this shit on to the awesomeness that is/was/will be live low limit hold'em.

So, the story begins in the 6/12 game with a huge amount of older tight players. Chop, chop, chop and steal. Not my kind of game. I only sat at the 6/12 for about hour when people started to leave, on a Friday nonetheless, wtf??? Didn't take one pot, and the table was going to break leaving me last on the waiting list. So, instead of waiting, I mozied on over to one of the 4/8 Kill games.

It is really evident that the economy is taking a dump when there is no list for a 4/8 Kill game at Capitol on a Friday night at 6pm.

Oh well, let the games begin.

I really won't tell you the hands that I won, AQ once in a HU pot, KK 2x both in kill pots and draw heavy boards. And that was really about it. And of less we forget the KQos top 2 pair hand, no big deal right.

So I was even-ish and I sat in what was a really profitable table if you could run good. And obv, by the title of the blog, I didn't and couldn't. But oh well, that is a part of limit hold'em.

As an overview of the table:

1 Seat: Hero
2 Seat: Donk old guy who looked like Schmee from Cpt. Hook, Doppelganger ftw.
3 Seat: Korean Donk who I joked a lot with the entire night.
4 Seat: Random Azn Donk
5 Seat: Horace, older man who couldn't hit a flush to save his life, he whiffed 6x that I saw.
6 Seat: Overweight old, white, Tight Passive player.
7 Seat: Random Azn Donktard
8 Seat: JPizzle esque in personality, White, NL player who ran god like, but couldn't play limit very well at all and dumped 5+ racks to the table.
9 Seat: A Bevy of random donks et. al.

Here are some awesome beats that I took, not really bad just frustrating as all hell. In before captain obvious blast.

Hand 1:

JsTs in the SB limped in 3 spots, I completed, BB checks. Flops comes: T52 (2 spades), Hero leads, called in 2 spots, button raises, I 3! Bet, and all call, Wtf? Am I good here probably not. Turn: 4 of Spades, Boom???? I lead, and get 1 fold, and the button raises, uggggg. I just call, probably should have 3!'d again but w/e, I really thought that I might be up against a better flush. Too nitty? River comes the T of Clubs, and I check call, with another caller in the middle.

Turns out Seat 8, the NL player had the Q7 of spades, and the other caller had flopped 2 pair w/ T5, so that didn't surprise me at all. Moving on.

Hero is dealt ATos UTG and I raise, called by HJ, Button old guy donk just terrible, SB and BB.

Flop comes: AT4 rainbow, great right?? You would think it goes two checks, I fire, called by HJ and BB. Turn brings a 3, BB checks, I fire again, HJ calls and the BB raises, fuck? Am I beat? I just call and the HJ folds, river is a 9, and the BB bets out and I call. He rolls over 52os for the dirty gutter ball!! Wooot gotta love it.

That hand really got me more that somewhat irritated, but he was a bad player and I didn't want to piss him off, I just rapped the table and said, "Nice hand."

So yeah, there was one more hand where I was in the BB w/ A3os and the flop comes 433 with 2 hearts and I fire the flop and turn and 5 people see the river which comes a J...of hearts and I lose to Q7 of hearts somewhere in mid-position. That was a great size pot 15BBs+ but hey, that is the swingy-swongy world of limit hold'em.

For the most part, the hands that I did play I played well, and didn't get too crazy, which can be expected from the Supernit. But, I just was card dead the entire night. KK 2x, TT 2x, 88 & 77 1x and AK 1x AQ and AJ 1x, other that that it was slim pickens (+1 for the Blazin' Saddles Ref) for the entire night. I think that qualifies as somewhat card dead.

I saw that Capitol took away the wheel spin and Aces Beat, so there is no real incentive to play there when Cache is just 45 minutes away during the week and they still run Aces Cracked.

I should be able to get down to Cap tomorrow afternoon/evening for some more awesome action. Just gotta run better that is all.

Off to INK Cafe downtown for some filet sandwich and, yup, its gonna be a Makers and Coke night, yeah, definitely.
