Hehehe, well-played.

Seems like OP knows what he is and isn't. Birthday beers =

So after the slow roll my buddy actually got heads up with DB3 and the reverse situation occurred where he had a set of fives and the douche had TPTK. But, alas, my buddy doesn't think of such things and didn't slow roll him. The table itself turned out to be VERY nitty. I've never seen such tight play at a 1/2 table before. We even had another old guy asleep at the table (OG3). As result I decided to try to play a LAG style and see if I could start running over the table.

Of course, the best intentions never seem to go as planned. It seemed that whenever I would start pushing my hands someone would wake up with a real hand and would push back. Considering how tight the table was I had to give the reraises their due and I started to bleed chips. Just my luck too as I soon got pocket Kings UTG and bet them preflop figuring my loose image would get a callers or reraisers.

nope, everyone folded

I start getting tilty from this, so next hand, I get 69 UTG+1 and raise. Of course I get 4 callers....

Flop:

8:diamonds: 5: 2

I throw out a bet and get 2 callers including MAW

turn:

A

Now I have a flush draw on top of my gut shot- woo hoo- but I still wasn't liking the fact I had 2 callers- dummy me I check. MAW bets 1/2 pot only. OG3 folds and I call.

river was a glorious 7

Now I realize that I played this hand rather poorly from the start but I got lucky and got the best card I could as there's no way she's putting me on a straight. I throw a bet of about 3/4 of the pot and MAW calls with her AKo.

I immediately tabled my straight and at first she didn't even see the straight but conceded and politely told me "nice hand".

I was now back to even for that session and the rest of the game I couldn't create any action or get any decent hands. My buddy actually busted out to DB3 when his nut flush got cooled when DB3's 2 pair made a full house on the turn. I started to feel bad that my buddy was just wandering around the casino while I played trying to get a decent pot. So despite being down a bit I pulled up stakes and left. Overall a loser for the day- -$35.

We stopped at White House on the way back and I scarfed down a "Special" in the car. While no cops were on the expressway, I was amazed at how many dder I saw on the side of the road. I think I saw at least 50+ deer on the way back and it made me very twitchy as you know how they just love to jump at you and destroy your car at 70mph.


It was a fun day despite the douchebags, I just don't get some people sometimes. Nevertheless I made a few new friends at the tables and got to play poker.

So, that's the report, now Lottery Larry will cut and paste this and put it in his mass email in his 100 page summaries of his home games and announcements. (if you think I'm long winded....). Altho, I'm pretty sure that unless he gets express written consent from Major League Baseball, he's breaking several copyright protection laws by doing as such. I think I should send a copy of the email to Matt Sklansky and get his mod privileges stripped and have him publicly humiliated.

For the TL;DR dips-

went to Borgata for birthday
lots of cops on the ac expressway
donked out of a tourney and got berated by a douche bag
played some cash games made up most of the money
encountered 2 more douche bags
Lottery Larry copies my trip reports from my blog and here and is probably a douche bag as well
I'm also a douche bag
I'd post a pick of a woman with huge bewbs but this isn't BBV4L

fin

yes, that guy is a douche for slowrolling but the other person is a bigger sucker for falling for it.

When someone tries that crap on me, i'll just say somethin like "We play with 2 cards around here" or whatever and make sure i see both cards before showing my hand or mucking

Nice TR ... +1 for making me look up ennui

well someone has to try and class up the joint a bit

good read OP

Good luck with that plan- the pictures I have of Mat and the monkeys are well beyond his reach and thus I am bulletproof.

And you are the standardbearer? ye godz, the way standards have fallen......

Nice TR Brian

Just so you know, when you hold A-9 and the flop is Q-9-9 you floped trips not a set.

and I know that too, mental error

desperate times call for desperate measures

"It's my birthday, can I have my blind back?"


Tee hee hee!!

Really, nothing more obnoxious then getting stuck at a table with these types. They're so desperate for attention and to be noticed, they slow the game down, and annoy most of the table. Just play the game dude.
