This is funnier than you realize.

But...Caesars BBJ is close to $140K (at least it was Sunday night).

It was one of the less awesome mikes...I dealt only 1 table of the 11am and it was the final table and I only dealt the bubble.

Just missed you then. I'm sitting w/ 42k just after the 1k/2k break in the 7pm now. Preparing to snatch defeat from the jaws of mediocrity.

Ok i posted a week or so ago about getting some cash together. I am up to 225 so I think its almost time for a run down. How is that mixed nlhe and plo game looking?

[x] poor bankroll management

...And final tabled again. And bubbled. 70 bucks - yay me.

Thanks to replies re: limit cash games. May head to borg this PM after I fail to (officially) cash in my 3/3 'boat tourney.

Shoot me a 'sup bro if you spot me. I'm sporting a douchetastic purple/green floral shirt and a mario 1-up mushroom t-shirt.

...And chopped the 11am heads-up.

Too many mikes to keep track of - but the three that I've been at tables with have all been really good dealers- although one is slightly more excellent than the others.

Congrats, I might have dealt to you...can't remember tho.

PLO game tonight (friday night)? might be coming up +1 other PLO player

NailedShut - it was nice to meet you last night. Congrats again on the tourney score.

Rod - it was fun chatting - you are def. in the small % of dealers that can continue dealing that efficiently while carrying on a full conversation

My TR: Went to Taj when I got there at 11am, since only 1 table of 1-2 was running at the Boat and it was full. Lost $175 in 3 hours. Came to Showboat and played from 3pm to 12:30am, made $645. The moral of the story: play at teh Boat and not teh Taj LDO.

Haha teh boat is def more +ev the teh taj imo. Thanks for the complement, cya next weekend.

Duck - good to meet you as well. Sounds like you had a good day as well.

Out of today's 11am durning the first 10 minutes as I am obv. unable to fold AK pre-flop to a 3 bet. AA held up (although I got a good sweat from a flopped K). I am a donk.
Over at taj land despite good advice to the contrary.

Lol @ posting about busting out the 11am tourny at 11:28am.

I'm never folding AK PF in a $65 showboatament. EVER. GL at teh Taj

How did we do this weekend? Also lets start the meet up talk for the PLO game this weekend, I believe everyone will be in town.

Rod: are you the skinny white mike with glasses?

if so, you pitched some 1-2 to me saturday afternoon. i would have asked you then, but had second thoughts about alerting the table to the fact that i take part in online poker forums. i know: it's 1-2, like it's going to change anything. but i can be a nit like that sometimes. i'll say hi next time i'm there, if that's indeed you.

I will be in town the later part of the week, so I was hoping for a PLO on Thursday, and Wednesday would be great as well.

I don't get weekend comps at SB, so I'm staying (~gasp~) at another casino that frequently spreads PLO over the weekend. So I plan to take a stab at their 2/5 PLO, but if it doesn't go, I'm in for a weekend game at the Boat.

(WHOOPS! This post ended up being much longer than I expected, so feel free to tl;dr lol)

Had a great run of cards at Borgata early in the day on Saturday so I decided to stop by the Boat for the 7PM and took 6th. w00t!

Had chiplead for a while at final table but there were ppl pretty close to me. I was aggressive and taking down lots of pots without even seeing a flop but I may have gotten a little too greedy.

15K/30K blinds and I have just over 400K (doubling my stack over the last 2 orbits just from taking blinds). I Raise 9s7s UTG to 100K. Older lady immediately to my left pushes for 204K. Late 30's man in late position calls for around 180K. Obviously I stepped in it there, but for 5-1 odds and two probable live suited cards I couldn't let it go. Cards are exposed and I'm up against AQo and KK. Flop was TJx with two spades so I am starting to feel like it's destiny lol. Turn is K so now the three of us are sitting there with Broadway, top set, and my very live flush draw. If I take this pot I'll have nearly 1/2 of the chips in play with 7 people left. Unfortunately the river paired jacks and late 30's dude wins the monster pot and the lady to my left takes a smallish side pot.

I still have 200K but I've lost any shot at stealing blinds. Of course the blinds go up to 20K/40K and I'm in BB. Older lady from last hand pushes for 55K and younger dude calls. I have 92 offsuit in BB and call the extra 15K. Flop 988. I push and young dude looks incredulous asking me if I really hit that flop and claims to have 77 after he folds. Older lady has KJ and my hand holds up.

I'm back to 300K but even chipleader only has 15BB at this point so we're just in a mad pushfest (except I'm the only one pushing lol). Only 2 people at the table seem to have even noticed I got busted stealing with junk and one of them doesn't even have a full BB so I open shove QT suited and I'm back to nearly 400K Then shove A6 suited, but unfortunately I run into 99 from older man who said he was gonna be calling me light regardless and I'm out 6th (short stack went out in the same hand from the BB).

So all in all it was a good day. I'm really happy with my decision making in the tourney. I made some good moves and some big (correct) laydowns. Even the one hand where I got caught stealing, under the circumstances I might have backed off a little but no one was showing ANY interest in playing any pots so I don't hate my decision.

Regardless I had a great time. Prolly won't make it back til mid november tho.

So we have 2 people confirmed for 1/2 PLO, this Thursday and probably Friday too.

Anyone else?

yea that was me...

You're actually white? I thought hispanic... maybe I was influenced by your last name and lovely tan...

Rod:
1) How do you feel about being referred to as "the skinny white mike with glasses?"
2) May we simply start referring to you as "skinny white mike", or SWM for short?

are "white" and "hispanic" mutually exclusive categories? i'm not american, but i thought you could be both.

I just heard that they got rid of the Showboat poker manager and are replacing the poker staff with people that work in the table games.

Thats what they did in the Hilton room, and that room cut themselves down to 3 tables.

Whats up with that? Why replace people that know poker with people that don't know poker? Is there a shortage of poker people in Atlantic City?
