Session No. 34 Capitol Casino (3/4)

4/8-Kill: TP = +$130 TSP = 4 Hrs

Got to play a little today, and let me just say that Cap was in extreme GAMBOOOOL Mode, at least at my second table. It was so great. My table had My Grandma, a younger black female, a couple younger Azn donktards, and Tina, the middle aged Latina woman who plays somewhat solid, and an older Filipino Donk.

Anyway, I really didn't run too great and had to hit the flop with some interesting cards. I saw TT once, and QQ once, AQos once, and AJ once.

TT<99 in 5 way capped preflop pot.
QQQJ>KK in 4 way pot, flopped trip Q's and rivered a boat.
K6s turns flush and 2 people call down.
85>99 rivered quads.
KQos gets there against flopped two pair by turning flush.

_______________________________________________________________

Ok I will post the more interesting hands that I lost first:

Last Hand I played:

Hero (Seat 8) is UTG and raises w/ QQ (clubs and diamonds), UTG+1 3bets, Seat 1 calls 3 cold hmmm, folds to SB who calls 2.5, and Sue calls 2 more, Hero Caps and all call. ($80)

Flop: Ts 9s 6s (Ugg not really a good flop for QQ but what the hell right)

Checks to Hero, who bets out, UTG+1 calls, Seat 1 Raises, SB calls 2 cold, as does Sue, Hero calls (right play does anyone 3bet????), UTG+1 Calls. ($120)

Turn: 9c

All check to Seat 1 who bets, SB calls, Sue calls, Hero calls (comments), UTG+1 calls.

River: 6h (Fuck)

I was planning on making a crying call on the river due to the pot size but that just got shot to hell.

SB checks, Sue bets out, shit I am way beat even more that before, UTG+1 Folds, Seat 1 Calls, and SB calls.

Showdown:

Seat 1- K3 of spades flopped flush
Sue has 86os for 6's full of 9's
SB takes it w/ 98os for 9's full.

Wow, gambooooool!!!!

Hand 2:

Hero is in SB w/ TT

Folded to Filipino Donk (Seat 3) in MP who raises, Seat 4 calls, Seat 5 3bets, folds to hero who caps it, BB calls, and all others call.

Flop: 9 5 2 rainbow (Good I think)

Hero leads out, BB folds, Seat 3 raises, Seat 4 folds, Seat 5 calls, Hero just calls (knew I should have capped it fuck)

Turn: A

I figure to donk bet and get the other 2 people at the table out of the hand and for that fact that the Filipino Donk had 9 chips in front of him. Well that doesn't work, he goes all in for 9 and then Seat 5 calls also.

River: 3

Bleh, Hero check and all check:

Showdown:

Hero Show TT
Seat 5 mucks
Filipino guys shows 99 for a set.

Oh well, should have 3 bet the flop for sure now in retrospect.

Here is my favorite hand of the night:

Earlier on CP the Santi and I had a little convo about raising with suited connectors well here it goes:

Hero is in Hi-Jack w/ 67 of clubs:

Were are 7 handed at this point.

UTG limps, Sue limps, Black female limps, Hero raises (thats right), CO calls and button folds, SB calls as does the BB, Sue and the Black female.

Flop: Q:c: 9:c: 3:c: (Boooom!!!!)

Checked to Hero who bets and CO calls, BB calls, and Sue calls.

Turn: K:d:

Check to Hero who bets, and same story. Don't put up another club.

River: A:s:

Sweet, Checked to Hero who fires again, and all fold giving me a nice pot.

This was a little better situation than the 98s hand that I raised with on Saturday for couple reasons: 1- Position 2- the players behind me were very passive and I could try to at least get position on the table to be able to check behind if a couple face cards hit the board.

Well, it was a good short session.

In other news my new bed arrives in a couple days, California King FTW!!!!!!

GL to the Superstar and Superdonk at Club CC on Thursday.

-Good Nite Now.

Session No. 33 Capitol Casino (2/22 & 2/23)

4/8-Kill: TP = +$200 TSP = 10 Hrs

Well at the Superstar's request I am updating. I am just busy with graduating and having no luck putting off becoming an adult. Adulthood = Bad. With Graduation a short 3 months away I gotta get in some awesomeness before life officially starts (to suck).

College = Great :-)

But I digress... After a No. 1 and No. 2 Animal Style at the new In-N-Out the Santi and I figured there was nothing better to do than play some cards in the afternoon on a Friday, and we headed down to Cap and were seated at about 2:30 and minimal waiting time.

I was quickly off to an ospicious start running decent hands into the nuts and calling down. And whiffing some overs, and having no draws hit.

Here is a hand where I thought played badly:

Hero in in Hi-Jack w/ AsTs

UTG limps, someone in MP limps, Hero Raises, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls, and rest call.

Flop: A Q J Rainbow

Checked to Hero who bets, SB folds, BB raises (2 pair?), UTG folds, MP calls (put him on weak ace), Hero calls.

Turn: J

BB leads, UTG folds (wtf???? 99 maybe), Hero Calls (I figured that if he had the straight, I can tie/win with 6 cards, weak move pretty much committed myself to calling the river)

River: 3 bah

BB bets, Hero Calls.

BB tables KTos. Hero mucks. Oh well should have laid it down on the turn. Didn't really have a read on the guy so far, he seemed to play tighter than most at Cap.

After that I lost some kill pots w/ AK twice, and AJ once. Before I knew it I was reaching for the 3rd hundred in the wallet, and an orbit or so later this hand happened:

Hero UTG w/ 99 (getting no raises respected at this point sweet!! <3 Live Players)

Hero raises, called by someone in MP, and CO, SB calls, and BB calls (5 to the flop)

Flop: 9 6 5 rainbow

Checked to Hero who bets, called by MP, and CO, SB folds, BB calls. (great I gotta fade some straight draws)

Turn: 4 (Ugly card, 2 flush in diamonds out also)

Checks to Hero, who bets, MP folds, CO raises, BB folds, Hero calls. (Shit, 1 time pair the board)

River: 4 Booooooom!!!

Now I gotta Donkbet so I can at least get 1 more bet from some guy overplaying his 2 pair, or straight.

So Hero donkbets, CO pauses and says "Raise", Ha Ha!!! 3-Bet FTW. CO calls.

I hear Santi go, " 9's full FTW " Yup.

CO shows 87os for the flopped straight. Gotta love when your UTG raises are called by offsuit connectors :-)

I rake in a healthy pot, and then proceed to make 99 a winner over KK with a straight flush against an all-in Reggie Jackson looking Filipino man who ran absolutely horrible the entire day. Then rivered the nut straight in a medium pot, and had a couple 2 pair hands w/ 97s and A6s not got to showdown and I found myself up close to 120 after being down almost 300.

Then this hand occured where I went into life nit mode:

Hero is OTB w/ KsQs.

1 limper, Santi Raises from Hi-Jack, CO calls, Hero calls, SB folds, BB calls, and limper calls.

Flop: Q T (rag)

Checked to the Santi who bets out, CO folds, Hero raises, BB folds, limper folds, Santi 3-bets, Hero calls. (At this point, I think I might have the same hand as Nik, but unlikely, He most likely has AA-KK, AQ, or TT)

Turn: 7

Santi bets, Hero folds. Later he tells me he had AQ, I should have been able to showdown top pair their, but hey I am the Super-Nit.

Had another hand against the Disabled guy in the wheel chair where I had AK in a kill pot flopped an Ace and bet flop but not the turn cause flush got there. Same thing happened when I flopped a King w/ KTos from the SB and flush and straight got there on the turn so I didn't bet, and it was heads up. Live and learn/bet.

After finding trips on the river against the Superstar, we decided to call it a night and I left up $140, and Nik just didn't run good at all and dropped a little bit.

________________________________________________________________

About 24 hours later, bored and recovering from getting hammered w/ the lovely Vanessa, Mike and Shawn the night before, I hit up the SuperDonk to see if he was interested in a little Capitol action.

Dam the waiting time at Capitol on a Saturday night, it sucks!!! I got there about 8 and proceeded to read War and Peace, eat a club sandwich, call Alycia, solve world hunger, and hate waiting more.

Didn't get seated until 10:15 or so atrocious 2+ hours of waiting?????

After hearing from the SD, he mentioned he was gonna be late and didn't show up until 12:30 or so , but oh well.

Played pretty standard most of the night (4 hrs 10:15-2:15) and even got some flushes to hold only a couple hands of note.

As side from the fact that there was a guy on the SD's table who had 1600 in chips. Are you shitting me???? NO! This guy had a sick rush, every hand he was in he won. His wife was 2 seats on my left she was LAGGY as shit but hit every dam hand, couldn't believe it.

Here is a good hand:

Hero is in BB w/ Qc2c.

5 see the flop including (Sue a.k.a My Grandma a.k.a "Queen High Ship It")

Long story short:

I flop frush, turn gives Sue Top Pair Nut frush draw, I raise turn, 2 people call down!

Nice.

Well, I am out.

Might, and I say Might play Friday w/ El Santi.

-Out

Session No. 28 & No.31/32 Cache Creek and Capitol Casino (2/6 & 2/12)

4/8-Kill: TP (at both Places = -$70 TSP = 12.5 Hrs

Cache 4/8 Kill: TP = $85 TSP = 7.5 Hrs
Capitol 4/8 Kill: TP = -$155 TSP = 5 Hrs

Obviously still not running well. I need to find the cheat to unlock the Santi-esque God Mode like in Doom and Duke Nukem.

I really learned a ton a Capitol the other night and will blog about that later.

So here is you dam blog update superstar; stay tuned for something later about the AQ of spades hand, and the Red Aces hand as well as me continually getting into it with other players at the table.

Session No. 28 & No.29/30 Cache Creek and Capitol Casino (1/30 & 2/1)

4/8-Kill: TP (at both Places = -$100 TSP = 9 Hrs

Boooo. I am in a little bit of a down swing at the moment, looking to make the month a lot better than the atrocious month on January.

Any way, not anything to big to report except:

In both sessions I ran Kings into Aces, nice.

Got 3bet by 36os, T6os, and an assortment of other random crap that of course hit.

I am just waiting to run better. I know that I am not playing badly, just running bad.

I did get to hit a pretty sick 2 outer today at Capitol HH to come later.

Session No. 28 Capitol Casino (1/26)

4/8-Kill: TP = +$60 TSP = 5 Hrs

Got up to $140 at about the 4th hour mark it was a little better day even for Capitol.

My table was pretty loose and mildly aggressive. Flopped a couple of sets and they held. Had a couple of boats, and a few straights.

Not too much to really blog about.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I got into it with some Momma when she donk bet into me. Things were said, and more things were said. Basically went like this.

I ended up pointing out that she donk bet, and then she questioned my raise etc., and then she said that I play bad and show go play no limit as, I was up $140 at the time, I could care less.

It was great she thought that she was good, and I saw her limp 54os UTG and cold call a couple raises with such stupendous holdings as K6s and T7os. But, what do I know, I am a bad player.

See you all at the Creek at about 2:30 on Wednesday.

-Out

Session No. 27 Cache Creek (1/23)

4/8-Kill: TP = -$40 TSP = 6.5 Hrs

Very slow swingy day at the Creek. Got there at about 5:15 and was seated shortly after.

I proceeded to go on a mini heater where I only played 5 hands before our table broke and I was moved to the SD's table.

I ran down a boat on a guy who had bottom two, and I turned top two, and rivered the boat. Then two hands later I got aces cracked in a kill pot.

After that it was just slow, didn't have any hands of note, just didn't run to terribly well.

Ended up down 40, not much to say. Just missed a couple 15 outers and on 4 OESD's, but that is poker.

Session No. 26 Cache Creek (1/10)

4/8-Kill: TP = -$230 TSP = 5 Hrs

Ran atrociously, not even cool, I suck at life.

Lets see where to start, I was reviewing my play along with the Superstar, and I didn’t play bad except in 1 spot. Other than that I just got unluckly and couldn’t get a hand to hold.

Here is a little run down of the hands.

AK soooted < KQ: Flopped TPTK, and got in a raise on the flop, Momma turn is a Q and donk bets into me, I call down.

KQ soooted < AT: Flopped top two (board K Q T), flop was capped w/ “Queen High Ship It”, turn A, got to check it down cause I mentioned that I got her beat.

KK < A4s in Kill Pot: Villain Random Asian Gambler (RAG) turned nut flush and didn’t raise.

And my personal favorite-

Dominic (ooh, Middle Aged Persian Man, who called me eh-Scrooge, and hates me) Got involved in a hand along with another person)

Here is the hand:

Hero is in BB w/ T3 of spades, Dominic is UTG. 4 to the flop.

Flop: T 3 2 (2 hearts) Sweet

SB Checks, Hero bets, Dominic Raises, everyone folds to Hero, Hero 3 bets, Dominic Caps.

At this point I am either way ahead or way behind, and I feel that he has a vulnerable hand, maybe a draw, or even a huge hands like a set of deuces.

Turn: K

Hero checks, Dominic bets, Hero calls. (I ask, “Do you have a set?” Knowing very well that he doesn’t have tens, or a set of threes (very unlikely)

River: 2 of Hearts

Hero checks, Dominic bets, Hero calls.

Dominic immediately says, “Full House.” Like an asshole, I figured to set pocket 3’s but of course, what do you think he had…

Exactly T2 sooooted FTW, nice 2-outer fuckboy. Wow I wish I could limp T2 UTG like that, but hey I play bad.

Its okay though, the Superstar got him back in a Kill Pot. Can you say, “Captain 1-Outer”?

It was so sick. Dominic flopped a full house, got in a raise on the turn, and the Superstar rivers quads. HA HA HA!!!

But yeah, I can’t run good all the time, that is poker.

The hand I played bad was where the SD raised UTG w/ AT, folded to me, w/ QQ I 3-bet, Xue (Sue) Caps. All call, and the flop was TT4.
We capped the flop, all call down. Whoops. Should have folded the turn. The SD only has 1 hand here, he isn’t check raising the flop at that with out a ten.

In other news, I moved out, WOOOT!, won’t probably be playing this week, maybe Saturday downtown w/ the Superstar but that is about it.

Apartments rule.
