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.
