Session 34

Date: Fri 6/8/2012
Venue: Thunder Valley Casino
Hrs: 2.75 hrs 1:20 p.m.-4 p.m.
Total Hrs: 144.35
Game: $1/3 NL & $2/5 NL (.75 hrs & 2hrs)
Profit: -$196
Running BR: $28911

Had some free time so thought I'd kill a few hrs and drop by. Nothing significant at all. I won $184 in the $1/$3 game by flopping a set of 22 vs TT on a 4 high board.

Then I lost in the $2/$5 game when I shipped TT PF vs a short stack for $195 and ran into AA.

Then I was in a 3 way all in for about $150 in PF w/ AKo I was up against AJo and JJ. Brick City.

Nothing else really significant happened. But the game was really good with one super action player, but unfortunately I couldn't stay. Really psyched about Vegas as the day approaches. Can't wait to grind cash and hopefully ship a tourney.

Just arrived in Vegas! Surprised there was no direct flight from Sac to Vegas. I had to go to Long Beach first. It wasn't that bad though. A friend of mine me and we lunch. Anyways took a cab to BOA to liquidate the rest of my funds. Now i'm sitting here at the IP poker room waiting for SonofDonk who will be my roommate for the next 3 wks. The poker room is not surprisingly empty.

I've been waffling back and forth on a game plan. For this week i'm going to play cash at the V the first two days then play the $600 on Friday and the $1500 wsop on Sat. ill deer what happens and take it from there.

Sorry for all the typos in my last post. I was posting from my phone. On my IPad now so it's a little easier. Anyways while I was waiting by myself at the IP poker room, a game eventually started up. I found out that they rake $6 and this was a change that was made at all Harrah's casinos. So I won't be playing poker at Harrah's casinos if I can help it. But I was just playing to kill time anyways.

Well the game was very nitty so I juiced it up a bit by making wild erratic plays. So after I donked off my first $300, I bought in again and changed gears. I got paid off on all my hands after that and got people to shove on me pretty light.

One weird hand I will post.

Effective stacks $420. Villain is really old man about 80yrs old. Has severe shakes and can barely put his bets out. Doesn't play many hands. Only hand I saw was where he made it $15 pf got 3 callers then bet $100 on a 7 high flop and showed JJ after everyone folded.

Pf: there is a straddle for $4, 4 callers hero has QQ on button and makes it $25 all fold to villain who calls in HJ.

Flop(68): 873
Villain shoves all in for $395 hero?

Lol I ended up tank folding and villain flips over AK
Wow. I folded because he's so old and I've seen so many old guys play AA and KK in this weird manner. Plus he only played like 2 hands an hour.

Walked by the V poker room just to check it out. I'm glad it's so close to IP. It's only a 5 min walk. It was packed. Lots of 2/5 games and 1 5/10 which didn't look very good at all. So tomorrow I will be playing 2/5 there and hope to crush some souls . Hopefully I can win a couple thousand over the next two days. Gonna get some sleep now.

Here's my $17k stack after the hand transpired. We were all in on the flop. He had 14 outs and asked to run it twice, but I never do. I clinched it on the turn.

Now i'm feeling good to play the $600 tomorrow.

So ended up playing 32 hrs. I picked up and got dinner with a friend. I ended winning about $6k. Up $6700 for my first two days here so i'm very happy about that. I already bought my ticket for today's $600 and I bought 50% of my friend. So I hope we both do well. Btw I meet the guy who took second in the recent shooting star ME. We were playing 5/10 together. Really nice guy. I was trekking him how ghetto the IP WA and he said I could stay with him in his suites for $35/night which isn't a bad deal. The only thing is wed have to change hotels every 3 days. But he has a car and we play similar stakes so it might be better. I feel kind of bad, but the bed bugs are killing me. I could only sleep for 4hrs. So now i'm back at the V at 3:42am like a sicko. Lol

No I don't play long sessions like that regularly, but 1. I'm in Vegas. 2. I wanted to stay up so I'd go to bed at a regular hour, but that didn't work cause of my ghetto room.

Oh also ibought in for $400 got it in all in pf 99 vs KQo. River is K.

Then I bought in another $400 and got it in all in pf QQ vs JJ. He turns a J of course. So I felt good to get that run bad out of the way while I bought in short. It's funny people were complaining cause I bought in short because I was making their lives difficult. Then I bought in for $14k. I cashed out just under $21k.

Got a guy to shovel in $1k on the turn with 7 outs. And he hits. Blah. So down $1k for this 2/5 session just like that. Oh well. How that means I'll run good in the tourney.
