When I was leaving, I noticed they had 3 card poker. I didn't think they could have table games so I went over and looked. There was one person at the table that had a ton of chips. Apparently, that person acted as a banker or something. They were affiliated with a company not legally connected to the dog track. I'm not exactly sure how that works but apparently they can somehow get around the law by doing this.
finally booked a winning session at 5/10/20. ~17 hour session. i was down about 4k at one point.
an old lady schooled the **** out of me. i raised pre, and triple barrelled. on the river a bunch of draws got there. i bet 1500 into like 1200 pot and she called me with one pair 7 kicker. jeez. the table was so happy.

A guy at the table colored up right when a hand started and he put the green chips in his pocket. He had about $100 in reds in front of him. The hand got really big and two big stacks went all in and he pushed his reds in. Both big stacks were about $250 each. The guy lost and the dealer thought he was still waiting on the color up so he didn't do anything. The players at the table told the dealer they were in his pocket so the dealer said they had to play. But the guy tried to play dumb about the whole thing and say he was only calling with his red chips or some sort of nonsense. The supervisor made him pay up.
Ive had that happen before. The floor showed up and told the guy to pay me or to leave the casino. Was nice getting an extra 75$. But the player that alerted the floor about it then started hassling me about had he not told the floor about it then i wouldnt have received the money and therefore he was entitled to some of it. I laughed and just ignored him the rest of the session
I am not really a POger, but had this lol limit hand that I butchered that has been haunting me for the last week.
8-16 typical game at commerce. 4 limpers, I raise AdKd in the button and BB calls. One of the limpers who has exactly 2 small bets left decides to make a stand, he 3 bets, I cap, of course everyone is still in, cause the rule of limit poker is once you voluntarily put chips in the pot pf you are seeing the flop no matter what.
Flop comes 8TQ rainbow. It is checked to me and I have a brain fart and check. Obviously this is not the best flop but The pot is big and i should still bet.
Anyways. Turn comes a 2 completing the rainbow. Everyone checks to me and I check again. Board comes a 9 and it checks around to me again and I check.
Long story short one of the linkers takes down the pot with 24o, so assuming he folds the flop which is reaonable even for a guy who calls 4 bets preflop with 24o, I cost myself 12+ big bets with my regard flop check.
I wouldn't beat myself up too much about it. That board hits everyone's range really hard. Flop is probably a bet. Now off to PokerStove to play.
You actually have an equity advantage against 4 random hands, and it is worth getting crap out. For instance, 24o only has ~2.5% equity against your hand and 2 random hands. Against the player making a stand, if he has a random hand you have just under 60% equity. So yeah, bet the flop and maybe the turn and show down your nut no pair. Caveat, I haven't really played limit in many years because it never runs on line where I play.
Finally had a winning session. I only played a couple of hours because I had enough comps for a tournament entry so that's what I did. Super scary hand (cash game). JQs, flop K93s. Bet, 2 callers. Turn 3 bet two callers. River 9. YIKES!. Thank goodness I had position. Both players had a K and checked it down.
Tournament was typical. Got it all in with KK vs. QQ vs. 99 and Q shows up on the river. I had like 2 chips so I was in the next hand and the guy with the QQ calls another allin with AKo vs. AKo and hits a flush. Tell me this game ain't luck.
I went to Mohegan on Wednesday and Thursday and won the 75 dollar turbo. It was my first time playing live tournies. Was pretty sweet. Funny hearing people react to unlikely flops and turns. Ohhhhh!!! Ahhhhh!!! I dominated this guy who entered final table with the big stack. He bowed to me at the end and gave me a thumb up. Knew he was outclassed. Got it all in good vs him like 5 out of 5 times and won a lot of non showdown hands.
The table was fist pumping me and celebrating because they viewed him as a villain. He was too aggressive so they did not notice me take over till it was too late, nor did they care
There was this real cute dealer/floor person who came over to me when I was talking to my friend. Congrats and gave me a hifive. I did not see her approaching me at all. I complimented her but am feeling like I def should have asked her to come hang out later. Seemed like she had to be interested? Do floor people not working your tourny ever do that?
I also found out that heads up you are not allowed to talk to someone during the hand about it... I Cbet on this older black women and I could tell she was super weak and she was to my left and i just looked at her and said, you have nothing here.
She folded and some guy said i lost value with my kings. I was like hahahh hehehhe nice read buddy
One hand this women shipped my bb with 3-4 blinds at 2k/4k at the FT before the bubble and i called her in the BB with 99s, she has Aces. flop came 888. Table goes. Woahhhhhhhhhhh. Im like, i can still win this. Bink 9 on turn. Table is like Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhh. River is Ace, Tables is like WOAHHHHHH
tap table, nice hand... I tell her that she could have hit an 8 too for quads and higher kicker, so not that unlucy. She looks confused and says, what are you a math wizz??
I was knocked down to 4 bbs from that but got a couple doubles quick from the psycho aggro guy
