Well we have 3 so far (me, Frond, and probably Jesse), anyone else in LA want to meet somewhere (I'm guessing around Commerce)?

I open KK UTG. Deaf old man (Dom) calls utg+1, fatman calls someone else calls Persian steamer calls otb SB suicide raises all in for 10 chips I "cap it" to 3.5 bets all call.

JXY

dom raise/caps me. Persian continues the fight farman drops after cold calling the first time.

Z

I check Dom bets Persian folds QQ face up. I fold Dom has JJ at showdown. So for the record I got cold called by JJ and QQ and still got it capped which is kinda the morale of the story.

brag 1: In the last three days, I've been in some of the best games I've seen ol in the past six months.

brag 2: I've been able to get the jesus seat about 50% of the time in those games.

beat 1: AA held up once. I had it in the bb and all folded to me. KK won me a pot, too. All fold to me otb, I open, blinds fold.

beat 2: I flopped a set when I opened 77 otb and both blinds called. Flop was 467, i bet both call. Turn 3. sb donks, bb folds, I raise. River 5. I cry call sb's donk who shows A8o.

drum roll pleeeze for the final beat: down 127BBs in the most awesomest games I can remember in a while. fml.

But seriously I think when I start whining and posting beats and thinking about hands I should've won is when bigger downswings come. When I brush it off and continue to make good decisions, somehow I win again. So I'm not trying to be a douche because trust me I've been there and I know you're just posting some beats to cool off from a bad run, but I think it's actually counter productive to one's game. In summary, do as I say not as I do.

Besides, I've posted enuf here that I'm entitled to the occasional whine.

Seems as tho we've been missing each other. The 5/10 games have been starting late the past few days. Since I play a lot more in the mornings, most of my downswing has mercifully occured in the 3/6.

I reckon I need to get back to 5/10 where my 3-bets get a lil respect.

last night's session was brutal..LOL

Ran 99 into 66 on a T6867 board.... Oooops, Drawing dead and getting there LOL. Oh, and lets not forget that 66 3-bet me PF from MP
Ran QQ into KK AND AA on a T high board, but at least I folded the turn

Ran AK in J6 (LOL) who took 3bets to the face on a AJ5KJ board (that one hurt!!!)

The list goes on.. .. ..

Like everyone else has said, the games seem to be extra juicy-good, now someone just needs to open up a family pack of run good and pass it around! Do you think Costco has any?

[x] action good
[x] even at the 20
[ ] room to breath

During the Shooting Star tourney, all of the cash games are moved to the rest/banquet area and they jam them in there. Hmmm, kinda feels like playing at Bellagio..LOL

I remember the days when you had to ask like 10 people to move out of the way when you went to the bathroom. The 4/8 games got the worst of it, packed into the little alcove.

I love you guys and all, but I'd rather open up my own can of "Whip Ass" and gulp it down.

yeah.. but "whip ass" and "run bad" are a bad combo!!!

Kinda like Pabst Blue Ribbon and redbull! LOL

Also, last night, one of the Bay 101 20 games looked like the following:

Seat 1: reasonable white dude
Seat 2: unknown white dude
Seat 3: Old nitty white dude
Seat 4: Bad white dude
Seat 5: Bad white dude
Seat 6: Bad, but aggro white dude
Seat 7: Torello (yeah, he's white)
Seat 8: Jessie - female asian prop
Seat 9: semi-solid white dude

What is wrong with this table? Torello joked with me about table changing with Jessie. I quickly turned it down knowing that if I had, the city of San Jose may just well implode!!!!

LOL.. so they move ONE table into the gold room...

Still doesn't help the fact that they cram 35+ tables into a space that could hold ~25 comfortably.
