He then says "I mean, I guess I could fold that... but I can't fold that, right?"

I don't like to give advice at the table, but I think my look of complete and utter shock gave it away.

I think I owe it to myself to go burn the rest of my cash on that 30/60 with a 50/100 kill game at ameristar while I'm still in CO. I called at 4 AM because bravo said there was a game, but it was only 3 people. Now I have to wait til 9 am go to

Waking up at 2 am problems.

Should I be thankful or offended that I was not included on a list of "lucky ass trust fund babies" at the table?

He open limps SB, I raise BB. Flop J94r, I bet, he folds and flashes me A7o.

Him: "Just once, I'd like to outflop you."
Me: "No suckout this time."

Played some 30/60 at ameristar yesterday. Game was pretty good for like noon on a Thursday. I'd say there were 2 strong players at the table, a few nitty guys, and some laggy asian fish.

I'm no longer sure I'm much of a favorite in live games because I just spew preflop. Winning $60/hour if I crush those games just doesn't excite me. I wish online poker would come back at a national level.

I did win a 9BB pot with K7 high, which was fun. I think that was the only pot I won.

I'd also say the 2/5/100 game there was probably reasonably beatable. Lots of $100 bets/raises in the limited amount I played there. It's hard to say how much the rake eats into that, because it is pretty bad up at ameristar. Definitely some seriously fishy players at that table.

The "good" NL players want to play NL, but that cap (especially in 2/5-100) really cuts into their ability to stack LAGs and set mine. The bad NL players never have that much in front of them so they still lose as usual. LAGTAG FL players get the best of both worlds and I've found the local 1/2-200 game to be ridiculously soft, and the 2/4-200 to be softer than 15/30.

Yeah, but he can walk to Ikea from his house, so I'd
say it's a push. Depending on how much you like Swedish meatballs.

We need some CAZ hands posted by the visiting squad. Loe doc, Jesse8888, or someone needs to show us how the road team served it up. If nothing else, in joeybitch style where you pwned the humps.

I was at a table for a mini-bad beat tonight (A's full of J's < A's full of K's). The table share was only $300, but that now makes 3 months in a row of getting a share of sort of bad beat. I don't think it is supposed to be this easy.

I have played a lot of poker for the last ten years, and never seen a hand that even qualified for the jackpots in most rooms, whether the game actually had a jackpot or not.

The closest was when I had A's full of J's < A's full of K's...no jackpot, but I did lose quite a few bets!

Yeah, I butchered two streets...

I'm UTG and intend for this to be the last hand. I open TT, super tight UTG+1 3!, bad MP calls, BTN calls, SB calls, I cap, everyone calls. Flop is T66. I check, and it checks around.

Turn J. I bet, UTG+1 calls, MP calls, BTN folds, SB folds. River Q. I check, UTG+1 says, "Bingo," and bets, MP calls, I raise, both call, and I defeat AK and AK. I had to test my heater and made quads, aces full, TPGK, and took down blinds twice in the next orbit.
