Resorts World Session
Two players limp and I make it 500 to go in late position with KK. Three callers. The flop is a beautiful KT6 with two hearts, and I cbet 1100. Only one caller, who checks in the dark. I check back the Qh, and the river pairs the 6. My opponent bets 2400, and I make it 10,000 putting him all in. He calls fairly quick with a flush. We're now 25 hours into a poker session, and I'm sitting on just under 70,000 pesos at a 50/100 table. In for 55,000. What can I say, someone told me to never quit when the game is good.
And the game was good. I started off losing a few bbs at the 100/200 game, since a seat was open when I got there and they were just trying to get it started. Nothing really eventful happened before I bounced. At the 50/100 I ended up getting stuck. I three bet a fairly loose opener with AKss and picked up a cold caller. The flop came JJT giving me a gutty to a royal flush. The colder caller had aces and I didn't improve. He was short stack anyway. And then just a long stretch of being card dead. I picked up no hands, and the few I played didn't go far. There was one player on the other side of the table who was playing very loose aggro. Opening wide. I suspected he stole a lot of pots on the river. While I sat there and folded I got a chance to observe him. After a while I concluded that I really knew nothing, the tells he was exhibiting which I first observed that said he was bluffing were there constantly. He had a few though, hand in front of his mouth, motionless, cards completely unprotected. Anyway we got into a huge pot. A couple limpers, I make it 600 with AK, he makes it 2400, I make it 10,000 he says "let's gamble" and call. The flop comes all babies, he jams 14k effective and I call. He has JJ and I turn a king.
Then there was some tilt and bad play. This maniac lag guy who always gets into my head joined us, along with his smokeshow of a girlfriend (she's also a very tough poker player). Anyway I lost a bunch of pots to him, mean while he was dumping chips to everyone else. Some people you just can't beat. Eventually they left, and I my stack was fluctuating between 37,000 to 30,000 for a long time, winning and losing some small pots here and there.
Too many hands to even think about. But one shining moment needs to be recaptured. My opponent raises a couple limpers in LP to 600. He loves doing this with speculative hands, so I had targeted him to be three bet for value wider than normal (my normal three betting range being AK/QQ+). Anyway I make it 2400 with AA. He called. The flop came Q64 and I c-bet and he check raised small. I called. The turn was a 7. He bet 7500. I called. The river as an 8. He checked, and I checked. A big pot for one pair, more than 20,000 in there. He had AQ. Too bad the river didn't come a four or something.
So that hand brought me back to 50k or so. And from there, mostly folding, until the kings full hand. Then the last hand of the night, a LAG chinese guy comes to the table. The guy to my right is down to 2k, anyway long story short I have TT, the Chinese guy bets 1100, the other guy jams, I call, Chinese guy jams 12k and he's sitting on like 35-40k, I end up folding and he has AT. I decide to call it a night.
Anyway I made some money so whatever. Long session.
