If you're really coming back in a week, then don't say "farewell all" like we're losing you for a year.

I didn't say I thought I'd be able to win 10 racks there either. I'm already down 10 at low limits this year.

Had this little gem today at the 20 at Commerce. I think one of you was in the 1 seat at this table but I'm not sure.

3-4 limps, button raises, SB cold calls, I call with J 8 in the BB. Everyone else calls.

Flop: 8 5 2

SB checks, I lead, 4-5 callers.

Turn: 8

I lead, UTG+2 middle-aged tagfish raises, folds to me. I tank/3-bet. He calls.

River: 3

I bet, he calls.

I say "I probably sucked out on you" and table my hand and he slams over the J 6 thinking it's a chop. It was probably the most confused I've ever been in a long while at the poker table. It's funny that even if he had J 8 he still wouldn't have chopped. I'll use the $180 wisely, bud.

bet the river fish, I'll fold.

I don't get it. He raised the turn and called a 3-bet with Js6s on that board? Also a tagFish is not playing J6s UTG+2, so I don't think you have the correct read on this guy.

Ha, I was the 1 seat.

I just remember looking up laughing my arse off knowing that hand would somehow end up in this thread. It was especially funny because I think he convinced the dealer for a second it was his pot and then you go "wait wait, thats nothing..." hahaha

PS - I called you down soooo light in the KK hand when I 3bet out of the blind when it came T high. I play bad...def should fold to turn raise. I played so bad....lucky to get out of there only down 500 when all was said and done. I think you got the table change before I really got out of control. Dude in the 4 seat prob is reading this also. He got at least an extra $200 from me that should still be in my pocket...

A hand I played good, if I do say so myself:

I open AKo UTG, loose-horrible calls, decent semi-regular 3-bangs OTB and (worse) one of the good playing female Asian dealers calls from the SB. I figure I need some major sucking power to win this hand.

Flop:

QJ3(?)-off. It gets checked thru so hahaha, Button has the same hand I do but he's too skeered to bet it.

Turn:

8 not a SB checks, I bet, loose guy folds, Button calls and SB calls so hahahaha, SHE has AK also!

River:

Q Check, bet, fold, fold.

Boy, I play good sometimes.

---------------------

The curse of the Kings continues:

I get KK UTG. I should just throw them away but, no, I raise like a dope. The same loose-horrible from the above hand calls and another guy calls.

Flop:

Q-9-7. Pretty good, huh? That's what you think. I bet, LH raises, the other guy folds. I'm supposed to 3-bet and lead the turn bec. LH has A-Q a ton of the time right? That's what you think. That play is for suckers. The proper play is to fold but I'm not good enough so I just call down like, well, like a bad player and get shown the Q-9o.

Somebody has put a voodoo curse on my Kings for sure.
-------------------

THIS is why you NEVER throw your hand into the muck:

4-5 limpers, I don't remember. I knuckle A8 in the BB.

Flop:

KQJ Checked thru.

Turn: 7 Checked thru.

River: 3 Checked thru.

I can't win right? That's what you think! I turn my hand up and beat the A6.

$2 tip for that one.

there was a 60 on random days + weekends until the friday before festa started (the 2nd). since then there's been a regular hundred. there hasn't been much bigger in holdem while i've been in, but i haven't been in that much.

I would say you are in luck with the Festa Al Lago Main Event starting next Monday. At least you aren't going during a dead time in tourneys in Vegas, so there should be increased action. That being said, who knows, but your chances are much improved.

Villain had just capped JTs preflop from SB the previous hand, so...

Villain opens on button, I 3-bet QJ from SB, BB folds, villain calls.

Flop K44 (2 players, 7 sb)
I bet, villain raises, I call.

Turn 6 (2 players, 5.5 bb)
I check, villain bets, I c/r, villain calls.

River T (2 players, 9.5 bb)
I bet, villain sighs, flashes AQ and folds. Don't mess with the Zohan!

===========

Hand 2:
I open in EP, tight old guy calls 4 chips, then realizes I raised and calls 8 chips, aggro in SB calls, BB folds.

Flop A74 (3 players, 7 sb)
SB donks, I raise, tight old guy cc's, SB calls.

Turn 7 (3 players, 6.5 bb)
SB donks again, I raise again, tight old guy cc's AGAIN, SB calls.

River T (3 players, 12.5 bb)
I bet, both call. I show AQ, tight old guy rolls AQ, SB shows AQ. Freerooool!

===========

Hand 3:
I open A9 in MP, The Hammer 3-bets OTB, blinds fold, I call.

Flop: 876 (2 players, 7 sb)
I c/r, The Hammer 3-bets, I 4-bet, The Hammer calls.

Turn 4 (2 players, 7.5 bb)
I bet, The Hammer thinks a bit and calls.

River A (2 players 9.5 bb)
I bet, The Hammer says "you're still betting?" and tanks and eventually pays me off with JJ. Wrap draw, flush draw, low draw, overcards... 18 cards twice, scoop it.
The A 9 hand against hank was pretty freaking funny. And you had air when he folded that AQs face up? And you say our games are so different...

Because then he starts dating all the girls, coaches them, and they soon destroy our games.

I don't think I have ever not seen at least a 1/2 game going with the same 5 or 6 guys. ie. 60ish gray hair solid, 50ish frumpy 70s haircut guy solid, and 30ish tatted up Laggy but reasonably solid.

Snug playing Carlo is back in the Borg’s 20 game (but not sure for how long.. he caused 3 ruckuses on Sat.).

Our game was amazing last night. As the field was folding (very rare occurrence) I peaked down at KQ off on the button. It is folded to Carlo in the CO. As I see him reach for chips, I think “yes! I am gonna get to 3-bet Carlo from the button”. But he just limps and I know that this is aces 100% of the time and I muck my junk. The horrible SB calls and the BB knocks. Carlo's black aces lose to the small blind’s 2 3 of clubs.

Carlo announces to the table that the hand would have played the same if he raised because the SB would call a raise with 23 suited.

I was dumb enough to tell him that it wouldn’t have because I would of 3-bet him if he open raised and hadn't turned his hand face up.
