The guy who flushed me is so bad. Again he calls down someone with naked flush draw and hits. Never bets at all. Please let me get some value out of him poker gods.

Re: Should I stay or should I go?

dude, this thread is boring, you make zero effort to make it entertaining. Just a few lines with no deep thought, no details of hands, nothing.

Is this gonna last long ?

Thanks for the input. The hands have been boring. I suppose I could embellish things more. Maybe I stop thread since noone cares?

Someone who plays poorly and has learned "aces never hold up" may try to see a flop cheaply.

Would you have felt enormously better if the original raiser in the hand was the one with AA? Would you have felt enormously better if KK or QQ beat you?

You're playing small stakes poker with tourists. People are going to limp for $2 with AA in late position. People are going to raise UTG with T2 because it's Doyle's favorite hand. You need to get used to the idea that not everybody plays like you do.

Obviously the guy above cared enough to tell you he was bored. That's something. Ignore the negative commentary and continue.

If you're looking for feedback on specific hands, probably better to post in a forum devoted to such things.

If you're looking for feedback on the universe in general and aspects of poker life in Vegas in particular, it's likely available here if you make it clear you want it. I'm following along as you fight your AC issue, for instance. But two sentence "I lost again" posts aren't really likely to generate much in the way of feedback. What's there to say?

You guys are right that I am boring. I will post less from the phone and more from my laptop. Anyways I quit down 300 for the night. I felt like 100 of the loss was being outplayed,100 was standard being beat by a donkey, and the rest was just standard missing flops and cbets getting raised. I met up with a girl I met on PoF at the warrant/skid row concert and spent 4 or 5 hours with her. No fclose and no pics though sorry guys. I forgot about poker for a few hours.

I am not ashamed to say it but I am looking into some coaching options to see if I can get some leaks plugged. I have not been winning overall lately and want to get any bad play fixed.

Here's hoping you get the AC and your leaks fixed soon.

I am back to the felts today. I have not decided where to play yet but I am leaning toward Bellaggio. I am most profitable there for whatever reason. I hooked up with a younger (24) chick I met online a few times and I am feeling pretty spry. Hopefully lady luck will help me out at the tables! In the non poker world my mindless boring non challenging job gave me a .60/hr raise and 1.8k of stock. Life ain't so bad.

Good job on the hookup. I imagined you to be around the 25-27 age group, though. How old are you?

I am 33. I played at bellagio last night and made 212 over 4 hours. Easy game when you flop the nuts. Standard stuff. I flop a nut flush and a short stack shoves. I flop a straight vs a set and it holds up. I was up a hundred more but lost a few pots towards the end of the session. Its nice when you run good. I will put in another 4 hours tonight. Tomorrow I am going to a pool party/fund raiser for a MMJ group in town so I may not play at all.

Re: Should I stay or should I go?

Played last night with someone who has read this thread. I was shocked that anyone reads me. I had a good session. I felt like I played well and ran decently. I bought in for 200 and ran that up to 450 or so, and then back to 250 or so after missing a 12, 11, and 14 out draws. I probably should not have played those so aggressively but I was the initial raiser in each hand and cbet every time and was probably never behind on the flops. I was forced to check fold the rivers and they showed better hands 2 out of 3 times. I should have worked out a better plan. I was ready to leave when I doubled up with 88 on a 985 board vs 95 and a local villain. I finished up 303 over about 5.5 hours.

Yeah; enjoyed playing with you the other day too. Back in Nebraska. Between my son and I we left up about $700 and we did a lot of other stuff while we were there.

For what its worth, I thought you were pretty solid.

Just remember, its always fifty fifty. Only two possible outcomes.

Re: Should I stay or should I go?

I played briefly some 1/2 at Boulder Station the other night. None of the 1/2 players impressed me but it was a super small sample. It looks like they only have one table going there most times and a couple of Omaha games. I may try to play the Omaha game there. I was talking to a dealer at Harrah's who told me that it is a pretty wild game so I may play it. Boulder Station is probably the closest casino to me that has any game of note and if i can make any money there it would be good for times (Sun-Wed) when I am too lazy to go to the strip.

This game 4/8 hk omaha game is pretty fun. I was stuck over 200 in an hour or so and now doown 20 or so. Its pretty soft. I am playing good cards. Just lost a 400 pot to a guy who called down with no pair and caught runner runner for 10 high flush vs my top set. Definitely money to be made here.

Made whopping 75 over hours last but considering I was stuck almost two hundred at one point I can't complain. The biggest hand of the night was when I found myself with jj in the sb. There was a straddle to 4 and two callers. I hate this hand especially oop so I just completed the straddle. The straddler had been opening a lot of hands and I was sure he was going to bump it up. He throws out 22 and there are two callers. I think the biggest stack had about 120 left so I made it 100 to go. The straddler goes all in for twenty more. The other two fold and I call. Ace comes on the flop and I think I'm toast but the jack on the turn seals the deal. He shows 77 lol.
