So, after a bunch of procrastinating I am finally getting around to posting a blog about my last session.
Last Wednesday (5/20) I met the Superdonk and Nik down at Cap for some 6/12 action. After donking it up at 4/8 and losing about $40, I was called and took the 6 seat to the right of the Superdonk.
I ran pretty cold for the most part and got involved with some hands that I shouldn’t have been in. One being where I raised w/ A6 of diamonds after a couple limper including an off shift dealer who limp re-raised from UTG. It was elected not to peel on an all black board that came J93 (2 spades) but what ever. I also whiffed some over cards before my move to Seat 1 on the right of Nik, uggg. Weeeeee, 2 TAGs right next to each other.
Things started to look up, at least in card quality. I had KK 2x, and QQ once, none were able to hold on a drawy boards and ones that had over cards.
I did have a couple notable hands after that. The first being in a pot where it was limped in 3 spots and I limped on the button w/ KJos, which I probably should have raised but w/e. Nik was in the SB and raised it up, the BB and everyone else called. Short story was that I flopped broadway and Nik flopped a Set of Aces. He didn’t pair and I took a nice sized pot. He was also pissed I didn’t raise preflop
The next hand of note was where I raised red 7’s after 2 limpers and gained position, and had only the BB along with the other limpers call. The flop came Q63 and it was checked to me, and I bet called by Bill, a loose player who typically called with ATC and another person. Turn was an offsuit Ace both the caller and Bill checked to me, and I bet again. I am probably behind but I am planning on getting to show this hand down. The river paired the 6 and Bill checked and I checked behind and showed 77 to win; Fwiw Bill mucked JTos.
I won another hand where QQ held on a drawy heavy paired board, and a hand where I rivered a set of 5’s vs. some chick’s top pair and busted flushed draw. She had been your typical station calling my raises w/ crap. In that hand I opened 55 in MP and bet the flop, checked the turn where she didn’t bet and I would have insta-mucked, obv. And then I donked the river where she looked me up with top pair.
And my most crusher hand of the session was in a kill with JJ. Against the UTG guy who looked a lot like Johnny Chan and had opened to $24, I was UTG+1 and 3-Bet to $36. All folded back to him, and he capped it. Flop came Ten-High he checked, I bet. I knew at this point I was probably way behind to QQ-AA. Usually these guys donk go crazy in kill pots without QQ-AA. So, when a 6 hit the turn, I just planned to check and call a river bet. I checked the turn, and you know what, a jack hit the river. So I obv, bet the river. UTG begrudgingly called and said if I hit my Jack I was good. He mucked KK.
That was pretty much it. I came up $70 after the loss at 4/8 and the downswing during the first part of my session at 6/12; it feels good to put one in the win column after the last 2 sessions.
Hopefully I will be putting some major sessions next week as I will be put on stand by here at work, wooooot and boooo at the same time.
Vegas is little under 2 weeks away!!! Gogogogogo.

Down and Down - 6/12
Short blog, lost close to 2 racks this weekend, running really bad and card dead but w/e. Just have to start holding and fading those draws/gutters.
After talking to Santi, the simple only cure is to run better.
OK, I will work on that.
Look for more updates next week.

5/9: Superdonk Birthday - 6/12 Bash
First off, a Happy B-day to the Superdonk. No real telling what his age is; Nik mentioned that instead of assigning an specific age, you should assign a range to him. That being said we think that the Superdonk is anywhere from 21 to 40 years old.
Enough of that business down to the action. After talking to TFong on Friday he said he would be playing at Cap on Saturday during the day, so I showed up around 2 and put both of us on the list. After a small wait I was called for a 4/8 Kill seat where I sat for about 30 min before they opened a new 6/12 game. During this time, the SD said Nik would be joining us so I added him to the list.
By the time that the new 6/12 started the table shaped up like this:
1 - Sagtard Azn Female
2 - LPP older Mediterranean looking dude
3 - SAG
4 - Superdonk
5 - SAG (Tuan) He plays there alot and I have played with him for about 20+hrs he is pretty loose
6 - Wilson - Cap prop player now, who usually plays pretty well
7 - Some half mexican looking dude with a wolverine haircut and a goatee :)
8 - Older lady who plays pretty tight but always seems to hold good cards
9 - Me
Overall the session at both the must move, and main 6/12 went well, I ran I would say better than average. And was a bit more aggro pre-flop. Although I did miss 2 value bets (once w/ QQ, and once w/ AJ) which Nik let me know about and I added that to the knowledge bank and will start doing more and more often in the upcoming sessions.
I will give a quick rundown of some hands.
33 > AQ I open raised in LP and got called down on a board of Q53T8
TT > AQ Nik limped AQ UTG in a Kill, I raised black tens and the flop comes T-High, He didn't peel
AQ > ?? I capped pre-flop and turned the Nut flush and don't get looked up on the river.
QQ > ??
KK > K7os Some donk at main game block bet into me when a 3 flush hit the turn, I called and we check-check the river
AQ > ?? I rivered a straight after flopping Top pair
55 > Some flush
So with all that said, I want to talk about this hand and the game structure when there is a no-post kill game. You might think that it doesn't change things but that is not true this structure totally changed my play in this hand.
There had been some discussion a while back about limping into a kill pot in EP when you are first to act because there is no real reason to raise to win 2 chips. But obviously had there been a kill-blind, I raise 100% of the time in this spot.
Kill-Pot
Hero is UTG w/ AQos and limped in planning to limp-reraise as Santi and I had discussed earlier in the session
Called by the guy directly to my left in the 9 seat the SB and the BB.
Flop: AJ7 rainbow.
Checked to me I bet called by everyone ut oh. I was only betting the turn if a safe looking card comes.
Turn: T, hmmmmm
SB Checks, BB thinks for a bit and bets out. I have played with him enough to know that he isn't betting the turn with at least 2 pair, and I was somewhat disturbed that everyone called on the flop with a board like that.
I fold the turn, I just didn't make any sense at this point, and to be honest I was pretty lost.
The hand plays out like this. Seat 9 calls, the SB check-raises, the BB 3bets, Seat 9 folds SB calls.
River T.
Check, bet, call. The BB turned a straight with T9, and the SB flopped two pair w/ J7os.
All in all, that was a pretty interesting hand and you can see that the no post kill blind totally changed the play during that hand.
Just for fun, 1 more hand.
Hero is in the HJ w/ 55 and it is limped in every spot, and I limp as well. I think that only the CO folded this hand.
Flop: J65 rainbow (1 heart)
SB, and BB (Superdonk) both check UTG leads out, 1 call, and 1 fold to me, I raise called everywhere.
Turn: 6 of hearts
Checked to me I fire w/ the boat and I see the Superdonk almost getting ready to raise but he just called and so did the guy in seat 6.
River: T of hearts
Superdonk thinks for a bit and bets out, and the dude in seat 6 tanks then folds, I raise and he calls.
I show the 5's and rake in a nice pot.
He went runner-runner flush, just a bad spot for running hearts.
Thanks for reading. I will be at Cap next Friday for more 6/12, see you all there.

Eeek, Card Deadedness, Again
I got in 6 hours or so of action down at Cap. It was a pretty dull day though. I was just card dead as all hell, even worse that 3 sessions ago. But hey, that is life sometimes. Of the small percentage of hands that I did play, I couldn't hold at all.
There were no real hands to talk about.
So I guess I can just chalk this one up to experience and look to run better next time.
Overall for the day:
4/8: -$60 (.5 hr)
6/12: -$120 (6 hrs)
On a side note, I will be becoming a live grinder at least for a little while as it looks from the work stand point. Unemployment, and live poker, lets give that a shot.

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.

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.
