Mohegan Sunday:
We wake up early on a fine Sunday and make the 90 minute drive to Mohegan Sun. We end up perfectly on time as the game has just started with one seat open at 11:00. We take our seat and begin what turns out to be a 10 hour session. It was one of those nights we love to be a part of as poker players, action packed and (very) deep games.
Our day starts off significantly less than adequately when on just our second hand we pick up T
T
in MP and make it 25 to go. A loose passive recreational calls 100BB deep next to act and we see a gorgeous 8
5
2
flop. We cbet 35 and our villain calls. The turn is the 2
and we bet 100. Villain quickly calls and we see a safe 4
on the river. We shove for our final 330 and villain quickly calls and rolls over K
2
. Not the start we had quite hoped for.
We attempt to turn it around about an hour later when we pick up T
T
in MP. A solid reg opens to 20 from EP and we 3bet to 70. It folds around to the original raiser who ends up flatting. We see a flop of J
6
2
and he checks to us. Both betting and checking back have some merit but against this villain we decide to see a turn. It pays off handsomely as the dealer peels the T
. Villain checks to us again and we bet 125 into 140. He quickly jams for 430 total and we call. the river is a 4th club, but it doesn't matter as he turns over K
K
and we scoop a nice sized pot.
We continue our roll when we open up A
K
in EP to 20 and get only 4 callers. We are a little less annoyed when we see a A
T
2
flop. After the BB checks we bet 75 and get just the villain from hand 1 to call. The turn is the lovely K
and we bet 200 leaving villain with 280 behind. He quickly calls and we see a safe 6
river. We jam for the final 280 effective and villain quickly calls with A
J
and we scoop a nicely sized pot.
It's now about 6:00 and most of the people who started the table are still here. Most stacks are over 300BB deep and the game is getting interesting. The fun doesn't stop as we manage to pick up A
A
and open to 15 in the CO. everyone behind calls and we see a flop of Q
2
5
the blinds check to us and we bet 45. Only the SB calls who is a young asian regular who I have a ton of history with. The turn is the 7
and we bet 115 after he checks to us. He calls and the river is the T
After a 3rd time checking to us we bet 225 on the river and he calls. He mucks after we show the aces.
In our final notable hand of the day we have A
J
in MP and raise to 25. Our villain from hands 1 & 3 calls and we see a flop of A
5
6
We bet 35 and he calls. The turn is the 2:diamonds: and once again we bet, this time 100 and he calls again after some thought. The river is the 4
and we check to him, not figuring we can get value from much, but have a hand we can bluffcatch with. Just as we are composing a quick prayer to have him bet small he jams for 356 into a pot of about 315. Given the gameflow and our history with this player we decide to call. Unfortunately, we are wrong as he flips over the nuts; 8

We played some memorable pots and ended up ending the night with a modest profit, one that was much needed. We'll be back in the action this weekend again.
Also I'm quite excited to say that we have a Miami trip booked for 8/23-8/29, so will be able to feature some more new casinos and get some cool TR's.
