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.

This is what I'm talking about when I say you're missing bets. Your whole plan was to build the pot pre-flop with AJ of clubs, then when someone obliges you and LRRs all-in (obv not a huge hand and even if it is who cares he's all in) allowing you to get even more money in the pot you decline. Easy cap.

Q4 hand I probably cap flop/bet turn and bet the river. Monsters under the bed again? The flop is so wet people don't have to be raising with a set/two-pair there...it's more likely Jacks (straight draws) or some other drawing hands. You're not playing against pros here. In a much tougher game I see the check/call, but I don't see it here.

Quit missing bets on the big streets.
