Mini Trip Report
Played three hours at Greektown tonight. Mood in the place was subdued with the exception of one player at the $3/$6 limit table going on and on about how Greektown was the only casino that had must-move tables and that it was a travesty that they would make his table play short handed just to keep another table full.
I played $1/$2 NLHE the whole time and bought in for $200. Greektown has had a couple of ongoing promotions; not sure how much longer they will run. One is a drawing for money ($100?) every hour from 11 am on Tuesdays, but you have to be present to win. You get tickets to enter the drawing anytime you get a flush or better. Enter as many times as you can. The other promotion is that every half an hour they "splash the pot" and pick a random table to have $25 added to the next pot played at that table. I happened to win one of those pots, and it's a great fun because people still are raising for $7 preflop, completely ignoring the additional $25 in the pot.
Had a fairly good night and as I heard mentioned in one of the 2+2 Pokercasts, I ran pretty pure and still ended up $275. I had aces hold up against KQ all in pre-flop. I had KK lose to AA again all-in preflop. I lost a hand with a jack high flush to the nut flush. I had someone with a flopped set of queens overshove the turn blind, only to see a heart make my nut flush (insta-call). All in all I was pretty happy with my play, although I got dealt some good cards all night.
I thought about writing more, but I'm too tired. Good night.
