So the last two sessions have been an up and a down. Last week I was on a sick heater to start the night; at one point I was up $440. But of course god mode went off and I ended the night up $260
The week prior was just bad game selelction and I dropped $220
In other news I won a home game tournament for $50 last Sunday. Also I took second in the weekly URS pick em pool for a modest win of a 3 x 3 Combo Animal Style obv (also known as $6) LOL.
I also made a horrendous play with TT last session that both the 15/30 Superstar and the Superdonk let me have it for.
Hopefully should make it down to Capitol tomorrow night or saturday for some low stakes action
Also next week the Casino Royale opens, hopefully they spread a 6/12 game for those of us who can't swing they 15/30

8/21: Capitol Casino - 4/8 Kill
4/8 Kill: TSP - 4.5hr. TP: +$260
Dam, Cap was jumping tonight. Lots of money in the room. When I rolled up, I noticed that they now spread a 5/10 blind NL game with a $1k max buy-in. It produced some sik, sik, action. I witnessed some $2500+ pots, truly shovetastic. They also had the 15/30 going not as the main game though.
Just as the Superstar and I were chatting earlier in the week regarding table manners and etiquette, i.e. me getting angry at players at the table; the exact thing that he mentioned happened.
Long story short:
Flopped a set of 2's in a 6 way pot, turned a boat, and then had a guy hit a higher boat on the river w/ 77, std.
Then 2 hands later (not really sure but it doesn't matter):
5 way, 3 bets preflop w/ KK on all unders board: J926, villain 2-outs with QQ on the river, and that sent any profit that I had (+120ish) at that point to even.
Until this hand comes up (God-Mode...For 1 hand at least)
Hero is UTG w/ K:d:K:h:
Hero raises, UTG+1 3-bets, all call to button who caps, blinds folds, Hero calls.
7-way capped preflop, sweet:
Flop: K:s: 6:h: 5:s:
6-way capped on the flop, to the turn.
Turn: 6:s: (BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!)
Best card in the deck.
Hero leads, UTG+1 Raises, 2 other call, I 3-bet, but apparently the dealer didn't hear me indicate raise and wanted me to take my chips back for "acting before another player's hand hit the muck." But fuck it his cards were over the line anyway. So I just called.
4 handed to the river,
River: J:s:
Even better for me. Now I know that the Q:s: and the A:s: are looking me up.
Hero bets, called by UTG, and someone in mid-position.
I show Kings for and rake in a monster, I 2-outered the guy (UTG+1, who rivered my 2's full hand) w/ A:d:A:s:. FWIW, the other caller had Q:d:Q:s:
Final tally: 14BB's preflop, 12BB's on the flop, 8BB's to the river, and 3BB's on the river = 37BB's, sweet! I <3 live poker!
And then of course, God-mode went off, and I ran normal and picked up some smallish pots, the left for the night.
Thoughts?
Might make it down to Cap again before we take off for Kings Canyon tomorrow, but we'll see.
GL to the Superdonk, and Superstar tomorrow and the upcoming weekend.
-Cheers

Las Vegas Trip Report: McCarran Airport
Well so Vegas has come and gone again... And this time wasn't as fruitful of trip as the last. Needless to say that I am still running bad.
Here are the irrevelent stats:
4/8: +120 TSP: 2hrs
8/16: -340 TSP: 2hrs (game broke on a Friday night at 8pm WTF?)
10/20: -300 TSP: 4 hrs (ran into some big hands and couldn't hit any draws)
Didn't get to play as much as expected, standard for trips with lots of people involved. But that is the way it goes sometimes.
Look for some hands on CP later in the week
Later.

8/7: The Wait...Off to Las Vegas
Well, all is quiet on the work front right now and the ETA for Las Vegas and sis's birthday celebration/poker trip is exactly 12 hours.
Look for periodic updates hopefully with some sessions of 8/16 & 10/20 and possibly some O8 sprinkled in for fun.
GL to the crew here in Sacramento this weekend at Capitol.

7/11: Capitol Casino - 4/8 Kill & 9/18 - "Where the Money Comes From"

7/3: Capitol Casino - 15/30 (wtf?) and 4/8 Kill
What the hell? Yeah you read right. The Supernit played 15/30, but only for an hour, because I am the Supernit.
15/30: TSP - 1 hr. TP: -$100
4/8 Kill: TSP - 2.5hr. TP: +$100
Prior to talking about the short time of 15/30, the 4/8 Kill was cool, made some hands hold and ended up a rack from that; not anything of note to mention.
So yeah, in lieu of the 9/18 Kill game at Capitol, they have started spreading a 15/30 game which is hugely out of my bankroll. They only reason I played the 15/30 was because I was railing it, and I saw countless 4/8 plays. People coldcalling 2 bets with shit, playing uber loose, and just making horrible plays. I figured fuck it, why not put my name on the list it will never get called, Whoops. The wait at Capitol was horrendous, the 4/8 list was about 15+ deep and I didn't end up getting called until an hour of the 15/30 game.
So quick rundown of my experience:
-The 2/3 blind structure makes for looser completing requirements.
-The players were a tiny bit better, but not amazing, definitely noticeable
-Knew when to lay down Aces.
A quick HH:
Hero is UTG+2 w/ the black AA.
UTG open limps.
Folded to Hero, Hero raises.
Called by HJ, Button, both SB, BB and UTG.
Flop: 854 rainbow
SB checks, BB donks, UTG calls, Hero raises, folded back to BB who 3-bets, UTG calls, Hero caps all call.
Thoughts???
With the BB donking,I thought two pair, or even a set. The thing that really made me think. What was the UTG guy calling 2 bets cold back to him, crazy?
Turn: 6
Shit, that pretty much killed my hand. BB leads out, UTG calls, Hero folds.
River was a King.
Showdown went like this:
BB had 67 for the flopped nut straight, and UTG showed 57os for the turned gutty to tie.
That was all dirty, but gotta lay em down when you are beat.
So, when I get rolled, like in 2 years, I will be frequenting this game.
Hopefully, the 9/18 game will be running of Friday and I will get in about 5 hours.
And, this just in; my sister, (easy Nik), turns 21 in August and there is another trip to Las Vegas and the Mirage in the works.

7/5: Blog Neglect and Las Vegas Round 1
Well, where the hell have I been???? Its been a blur of the last 3-plus months. Here is a little update of what has happened in the life of the Supernit:
-Graduated w/ B.S. in Civil Engineering from CSU Sacramento (good bye to school)
-Started full time (pay raise woot) w/ URS (U Really Suck Engineering Inc.)
-Girlfriend (Vanessa) has now moved into our apartment
-Visited Las Vegas to meet the CP crew (ups to Duece, Pika, Shabba, Luske, and Eusebio all were chill cats)
Oh yeah....
Played lots of poker that I have neglected to blog about so here it goes.
For the months leading up to graduation, the Superstar and the Superdonk played countless sessions at Cache Creek and Capitol Casino. From every single session I found myself learning a ton about leaks in my game and spots where I need to be betting and taking down pots that no one wants.
On that same note, there were not that many things to note of from the sessions that I played in California. Las Vegas was a whole other ball game. The game in LV is, as the Santi said, a little softer than that of the casinos and cardrooms here in CA.
As was the plan, I stepped up to 10/20 all at the Mirage and found out the game is not any different from the 4/8 Kill that I usually play. It was a great experience, and I can't wait to go back soon.
All in all, the LV trip boasted a total profit of $430 from roughly 22 hours (mixed 4/8 half-kill, Omaha 8-or-Better, and 10/20) of play which payed for the trip and the nights out later in the week that Vanessa and I had.
