| VEGAS |
[Aug. 14th, 2006|02:48 am] |
This is the synopsis of my Vegas trip that I wrote at TightPoker; the names refer to people from that site.
Day 1
I leave Redmond, OR at about 2:30PM to head to Portland for my 6:30 flight. As I arrive in the parking lot, I get a call from Orbitz that my flight is delayed until 11:30. Grrrreat. I get a meal voucher from the airline for $8 and find somewhere to set up my laptop; fortunately the airport had free (albeit kinda slow) wireless, so I started 4-tabling Party NL $50. Except for pausing for a few minutes to grab a couple slices of pizza, I played for the next 5 hours and made about $150. Not awful. The flight finally takes off at 11:30 and we get into Vegas at about 1:30am; I call Scotty, and he/JP/Jay (scottie_g)/Biggle are at the MGM and about to head back, so I take the shuttle to Bellagio and walk over to the Jockey Club. Apparently Scotty/JP/Jay all had crappy nights at their rock garden NL games, but Biggle just tore up $3/$6 limit and made 60 bets ($360!!! ZOMG!!). Psycho. We sleep.
Day 2
We eat breakfast/lunch at about noon at Caesar's Palace, and walk over to the Venetian. Me and Jay sign up for comp cards (which give back $3/hour, nice deal), Scotty/JP/Biggle are too lazy to do so yet; this will bite them in the ass later.
Me and JP get on the same $1/$2 NL table, while Scotty and Jay are at the other. JP's in seat 1, I'm in seat 3. Hands:
I start off playing a couple hands pretty shitty. First, AcQc in BB. A lady that seems pretty TAG (surprisingly) open-raises to $10 in CO or CO-1. Folded to me, I call in BB. Flop Q-5-2 with two diamonds. I check-call $20. Turn is a blank (offsuit 8? sure why not), I check-call $40. River is an offsuit 2, I check, she pushes putting me all in for $125 more. I fold. I'm not really sure how I should have played that better; block river? Check/raise flop and keep betting? Bet out flop? Regardless, I hate the way I played it.
AKs in MP. A couple limpers, including UTG who hasn't been at the table long but has been splashing around a little bit. I raise to $15, two people call. Flop is As Qd Ts (I don't have spades obviously). UTG bets out $45, approximately the size of the pot. I glance at the old dude to my left, and he looked like he was gonna fold when action got to him, so I called. Turn is 3s. UTG bets out $45 again; I don't think he has a flush. I push all-in; I don't think he has a set, he might have two pair, but the flush card might scare him and I still have gutshot outs plus two pair outs. He pretty much insta-calls the $90 more or whatever to him, river is a brick, he shows QTo and it's good. $15 preflop? Niiiice.
Some hands I played better: QQ in MP; I raise it up to $12, calling station-ish lady calls in LP, someone else calls too. She seems to call down with any piece and almost never raises (she check-called a rivered baby flush once). Flop 3-4-5 with two diamonds. I bet out $25, station lady calls, other caller folds. Turn is 8s; I bet out $60, she thinks and folds.
QQ again, in LP. I raise to $12 or $15 or whatever depending on how many people limped, calling station lady calls again. Flop J-T-8 two clubs. She checks, I bet my standard $25, she calls. Turn is a brick, she check-calls $55. River is an offsuit 8, she checks; I think about her range, and I think I'm definitely ahead. She honestly might c/c trips here but she's more likely to have something like a jack that she'd probably call a bet with, so I bet $50. She thinks for a sec and folds.
AK somewhere, I make it $15 preflop, some old guy that hasn't been playing well calls. Flop is A-T-x, I bet $20 or so, the guy calls with only $40 left. Turn is a blank, I put him in, he thinks and calls with KT and bricks the river.
I get aces twice; both times I raise it up, get called in one or two places, and everyone folds the flop.
I don't remember many other hands; we played for about 6 hours, and then took a break for dinner. I had $400 in my stack, but I was down about $300 from the AQ/AK hands plus blinds and stuff so I was still down $100 on the day. Me and Jay had comp cards so we went to the 'nice' food court (they had a couple upscale-looking deli and grill-type places) and got some pretty good burgers and fries for free, while everyone else that didn't get comped $18 had to pay for their food. Afterwards we head back to the tables; me, Jay, and JP are all at the same table that me and JP were at before (a few of the same people were still there) while Scotty sat at a different table. More hands:
I limp 9s8s in LP behind a couple limpers, flop is 7s6x2x. Checked to me, I bet $10, one guy thinks and calls. Turn is Qs; he checks, I bet $20. I'm not sure if this was the greatest play; if he calls then the river is kinda awkward if I brick, and getting check-raised off a 15 out draw would be a disaster. But fortunately, he folded.
I limp a bunch of pocket pairs; I hit zero sets on the day. ZERO! Rigged.
Eventually I decide that our table is too tight (there was like maybe one visibly bad player at the whole table, and a couple others that had some exploitable tendencies but weren't downright awful) so I move over to Scotty's table, which he said was good. Behind my new table were two guys playing $25/$50 NL heads up; one was apparently an amateur, and the other seemed pretty drunk. The amateur was just getting run over with aggression but doubled up when his Q9 turned two pair against AA; after that they increased the stakes to $50/$100 and the amateur busted the other guy when he shoved with A9 on a ATx flop and got called by T4. Pretty funny.
My second hand at the new table I get AK, raise it up, flop top pair, and take it down on the flop. That's just about the only hand I won at that table. I played one other interesting one though:
Good aggressive thinking player that's been splashing around a bit (raising blind, straddling, etc.) opens for $10 in EP. I call in CO with 6s5s. Two more people call. Flop is Qc 7c 4d giving me an OESD. Checked to him, he bets $15, I call, everyone else folds. I plan on representing a flush draw if a club comes; turn is Kc. He bets $20, I think for a moment and raise to $60. He thinks for a little bet and says "so it's $40 more, and you're playing $110 behind?" and I said "yeah, roughly." He called. Turn is an offsuit T. He thinks for a minute or so and checks. I start thinking about whether to bluff at the pot; I have $110 left, and there's about $190 in the pot. He starts talking though and says "I have the best hand, I'm gonna call you. A king is no good. KQ is no good. 77 is no good. KK beats me though...I think I've narrowed down my hand range a bit." So apparently he has a set, and I doubt that I can blow him off it even though I've been representing a flush. I check behind, he turns over QQ, and I muck my six high. At least I didn't have to show it. I really thought I could get away with making a move there because I'd been pretty much folding every hand for the last few orbits, and I probably would have gotten away with it if I didn't run into a set. Anyway, we leave at about 3am; I'm down $300 on the day, everyone else just killed the games. Scotty was up $1400 (JESUS CHRIST), JP was probably up...$400? Jay was up $600 or so. Those numbers could be way off, but basically I was the only one losing. :( Biggle made $60 at $3/$6.
Day 3
(I'm now writing all this in the airport terminal, so days 3/4 might be a little hazy; rather than start every sentence with "I think I remember", just assume that goes everywhere")
Scotty, Biggle, and JP went to the Aladdin buffet; me and Jay went to the Venetian to eat for free again. This time I got a tuna salad sandwich which I wasn't that impressed with, but whatever. Jay wanted to check out the Wynn, so we headed over there to play the $1/$3 NL game. The room is pretty nice, long wait though. We finally sit down at a new table; Jay's in seat 2, I'm in seat 3, Scotty's in seat 4, JP's in seat 6. It doesn't take long to figure out that seat 7 (young Canadian guy) is a pretty good TAG, seat 8 is a decent aggressive player that splashes around a lot. Seat 9 is a donk (I actually don't remember the original seat 9, but I swear that every single player in seat 9 throughout the night sucked) and seat 1 had a clue but was too loose. The game used these goofy $3 chips which made betting a massive headache; when you're used to betting with $5 chips and all of a sudden a stack becomes worth $60 instead of $100, it just messes up your thinking a bit.
KK in MP. I raise to $15 or so, LAGgy seat 9 calls on the button. Flop A-A-J two spades (I have the Ks). I bet out $24, dude reraises to $84, I fold. I think that was a bad move; it's not very likely he flopped trip aces, and if he did he would probably flat call the flop rather than try to scare me out with a worse hand. I think I folded the best hand there.
AA in MP. I was playing pretty tight at that point. Seat 9 is UTG and raises to $12; seat 1 re-raises to $24. Due to my tight imgae, I figured that if I 3bet I might as well have turned my hand face up, so I flat called. Seat 9 calls as well. Flop is KKQ. YUCK. Seat 9 checks, seat 1 bets $24, I call hoping he'll give up on the turn with AQ/JJ, seat 9 folds. Turn is a blank, seat 1 bets $60, I say "if you have jacks, nice bluff" and fold. He shows me QQ for a flopped full house. Great, I can't flop a fucking set to save my life but I can get aces cracked with one.
Scotty bustoed somewhere around this point with AA; some seat 9 donk flopped two pair with K9 on a K95 flop. He checked, seat 1 bet, Scotty raised, and seat 9 3-bet big; I think Scotty should have folded there, but he pushed all in pretty fast and got called. Eventually he decided he didn't like the game (which is probably good thinking since there were very few bad players at the table) and went over to the Venetian.
KQo in LP. A limper or two, Jay raises to $12, I call because I know he's raising a lot of trashy hands there. 3-betting there wouldn't be a bad idea, but I decided I'd rather play hands against the limpers than just isolate and likely steal Jay's raise. Flop is Q-4-2, two clubs. The good TAG in seat 8 bets out $24 or so, folded to me, I call. Turn is the 8 of spades; he bets out $60. I start wishing that I had raised the flop; he might have a flush draw, but if not I think he has KQ at worst. I fold. After we all cashed out later I asked him what he had, he said KQ, so we were splitting. He was a cool guy; he noticed that we were good players too, and we told him to check out the Venetian and he came and found us there later and we talked a bit.
Anyway, I basically couldn't win a hand at the Wynn and cashed out about -$250 on the session. -$550 or so on the trip so far. Ouch.
We eat dinner at the Wynn and then most of us head back to the Venetian to play. Jay stays at the Wynn after getting a new table. Our original table broke when I got up for dinner; it was just a god-awful table though, the players that eventulaly landed in seats 4 and 5 when Scotty and the original player in seat 5 left (he was somewhat good too) were complete and utter old nits, and I started stealing their blinds with any two cards when it was folded to me. I doubled one of them up when she slowplayed QQ preflop and flopped mid set against my top pair. Actually, it's quite possible that she wasn't actually slowplaying but was just convinced that anyone raising her had AA or KK, or she wanted to make sure AK didn't flop top pair against her. Jesus christ. She was short so I pretty much had to call. She later doubled up again slowplaying AA. I wanted to punch her.
Later at the Venetian, I wound up at the same table as JP; we were in seats 5 and 6. I don't remember a lot of hands from this session, probably because it was the only night I was drinking heavily. We had a good time though, and it was a fun table when all the drinks started coming.
JP had a hand where some guy in seat 4 who was a total agrodonk opened to $15 or so and JP folded. As he threw his cards in though, they got flipped up and he had TT! I of course was in total disbelief that he folded this hand, and the rest of the table was too. This turned out to be an excellent metagame play though, as JP later flopped a set with 55 on a 765 flop against a preflop raiser and stacked the raiser's AA. The raiser said "what the hell, you fold TT to him but call 55 against me?! I thought you couldn't have possibly hit that board!" The agrodonk later doubled up with some ridiculous hand (I think he probably sucked out on someone, or went all-in with some ridiculous hand like 33 and had it hold up against overs) and INSTANTLY got up from the table and left. Like, as soon as the hand was over he started stacking chips and left. JP then went to the bathroom and came back saying he saw the guy in there counting his chips on the counter. Wow.
Once I started drinking I was playing a lot more aggressively; I started raising hands like T8s etc and taking pots down with cbets. The fact that I was able to open up more and play more aggressively without being like ZOMG I JUST PUT IN $15 WITH TEN EIGHT SOOTED made me start wondering if I play better intoxicated. Take the following example: AKo in MP. I raise to $12, I think Jay called next to me (he was back from the Wynn and joined our table). Some new guy re-raises to $40 or so in LP. He probably sees me as some goofy drunk guy splashing around, and I'm only crushed if he has AA or KK; I have a lot of fold equity against smaller pairs that I'm flipping against, so I go all-in (pot-sized raise would have been to $130 or so). He folds. Normally I would probably just call preflop and check/fold a rag flop, losing a ton of value. Anyway, I think I made about $200 or $250 that session.
We head back at about 5am.
Day 4
We head to the Aladdin to try to eat lunch at their buffet, but it's closed by the time we get there at 3pm or whatever so we wander around and find a Mexican restaurant. Some of the guys wanted to play some table games, so we head back to the casino floor and JP, Scotty, and Biggle sit down at a Let It Ride table. It's a game where you put 3 bets out and get dealt 3 cards; the object is to get 10s or better. The dealer turns over 2 cards one at a time, and after the first two rounds (getting your 3 cards and the dealer turning over his first card) you can either pull back one of your bets or "let it ride" and keep your bet out there. The optimal strategy is of course to only keep the bets out when you either already have a pair of 10s or better, or when you have a flush draw or open-ended straight draw after 4 cards. There's also a "3 card bonus" bet you can make; that bet pays out on just the first three cards you're dealt. Pair is 1:1, three-card straight is something like 8:1, three-card flush 6:1, I think.
Anyway, JP was hitting 3 card bonus hands (mostly straights and flushes) like crazy while Scotty and Biggle were running kinda cold. Jay went over to play craps; he had a hot hand and had a pretty good roll for maybe 20-30 minutes. I don't understand craps at all and had no clue what was going on but everyone at the table seemed to be enjoying themselves. I decided to go back and play a little Let It Ride; I sat next to JP and got $200 in chips. My first hand I think I hit a 3 card straight and was thinking LOL THIS GAME IS EZ; I got up to about +$90 pretty quickly I think, and was slowly losing a little back. With a $5 bet, you can lose a maximum of $10 each hand playing the 3 card bonus like me and JP were (since you can pull 2 of the bets back). Eventually just for the hell of it I decide to throw $10 on the 3 card bonus, and I get my 3 cards. I turn them up to see ZOMG 7C 6C 5C THREE CARD STRAIGHT FLUSH!!! 40:1!!! $400!!! I'M RICH!!!!!11 Of course, this hand isn't worth anything at all yet (as far as my other 3 bets are concerned) so I pull the first one back, dealer's first card is a 3 so I pull my second bet back as well. Last card is a 4 though, so on top of the $400 for the three card bonus I hit a straight which paid another $25. We play for a little more, on my last hand I decide to throw $25 on the three card bonus along with my standard three bets and get dealt a pair of aces, and improve to aces up by the river; +$40. Total in Let It Ride: +$510. The only time I got my ID checked the entire trip (I'm 21) was when I cashed that out, haha. JP made about $150? at that game, Scotty blew through $200 and I think Biggle lost a little bit (but he's such a luckbox at limit games it doesn't matter).
Scotty hadn't had enough gambling yet, and was bummed about losing $200, so of course the obvious solution is to go play craps. He throws down $100 and just immediately kills the table. A couple guys crap out instantly after starting (including Scotty), until even the casino employees at the table told him "this table's no good, just go somewhere else." Scotty blew through the $100 before realizing this, however.
Jay heard the games at the Monte Carlo were pretty good so we decided to head over there. They had two $1/$2 tables going; me, Jay, and Biggle got on one table, Scotty and JP on the other. It turns out the seat I picked was the worst one; I decided to sit to the left of a couple of young guys with big stacks that looked drunk, but it didn't take long after sitting to figure out that they were pretty good and the bad players were the ones to my left (which Jay had position on). Oops. Anywyay, something like our third hand at the table Jay raises UTG to $10 or $12 or whatever. MP repops to $35; I look down at KK. I really hate 4-betting so I flat call. A third guy cold-calls in the blinds, and Jay says "raise", thinks for a second, and goes all-in. MP folds, I call because I have KK and I hate money, and the third guy calls too. I have $17 left on the flop, so I go all-in on a rag flop and the third guy calls. Jay: AA, me: KK, third guy: JJ, and MP says he folded QQ. STUPID RIGGED JOPKE BS OMG BULLSHIT!!!!! None of us hit a set. Great way to start a session. Also, "third guy" is henceforth known as "French guy" because he had a foreign accent (probably French, although I'm no expert) and he played wayyy too aggressive and loose. Raising ace-rag in the blinds, calling too much postflop, etc.
AsJx in LP. We're short-handed a little (6-7 people?) so I raise to $12 or $14 behind a couple limpers. The drunk guy to my right with a huge stack calls. Flop is Ts 6s 5s; I have the NFD with two overs. He bets out $20 or so; I calculate a pot-sized raise at about $80something so I raise to $75 hoping to take it down. He goes all-in; oops. I'm not quite getting 2:1 but my overcard outs might be good so I call. He has Qs Tx and I hit a spade on the turn to win it. And wow, he played that hand pretty ridiculously bad.
The two decent young players to my right leave and I decide to move into seat 10 (to Jay's left) to get position on the donks. My stack's at about $400/$500 so I'm about even.
AA UTG. I raise to $12, a couple people call, crazy French guy repops to $30 or so in the blinds. As much as I hate 4-betting, it would be nice to get the pot HU, and I also saw him call a large 4-bet earlier from another player so I didn't think he'd lay down. I made it $80; everyone folds to crazy French guy (and everyone probably knows exactly what I have, except him), he calls. Flop is Q-x-x, he pushes, I insta-call and flip AA. He mucks after blanks on the turn and river and says he had KQ. I'm up to $700 maybe.
AsKs in EP. I raise to $12, SB re-raises to $24. The size of his raise confused me a little bit. I think I should have 3-bet to $70 or so and folded to a re-raise; that would have made postflop a lot easier. I just called. Flop was 9-8-3 with a couple clubs. He bet $25; again, this confused me a little as it seemed a little weak for him to 3-bet preflop and lead the flop for only 1/2 pot. I called planning to raise the turn. Turn was an offsuit 7; he bet $25 again. At this point I thought he had to have a weak pair or whiffed overs; I raised to $125. He goes all-in for about $60 more to me; SHIT. Unfortunately I raised so large that I'm pretty much getting odds to call with my overs. I call. River bricks, QQ good, I muck. I should have made a much smaller raise on the turn; pricing myself in on the turn to call hsi shove was massive spewage. The factor I didn't consider is that live players tend to interpret straight bet sizes more than pot odds; if I raised to, say, $85, he probably wouldn't have thought "I'm getting great odds to call this", he probably would thought ZOMG $65 MORE TO CALL TOO MUCH MONEY!!!!1 So, my bet would have had the same fold equity without risking as much.
I was kinda pissed off that I lost a big hand like that in my last orbit; we left to eat dinner and instead of being up $300 I was only up about $90 or so. We walked to the Bellagio to look at the poker room (and Biggle was playing $4/$8 there; he left Monte Carlo shortly after our game started when he flopped top two pair against bottom ste and all the money went in), and we took a cab to the Venetian (kinda long walk) to eat for free.
While we were eating we got a call from MJ, who had just gotten in from London; he really does exist! He said he'd come up and meet us at the Venetian. When he arrived, we went to go play some $1/$2 at the poker room. I was totally card-dead.
AJs in EP. I raise to $12, MJ calls (just the guy I want to my left! He actually was limping a lot and not raising very much), kid in seat 10 calls. Flop K-T-7; I check (didn't really want to c-bet into two people out of position), it's checked around. Turn is an 8; I decide I can probably stab at it since I've picked up an OESD, so I bet $20 and everyone folds. MJ later said he had JJ.
MJ had a hand where he raised preflop with QJ and the flop came J88 with a couple clubs. MJ cbet, some old nit that called in position minraised. MJ puked all over the table (not really, but I could feel it) and folded. Later he raised AA and the flop came JJ8 with a couple clubs or something; he cbets, some guy calls and leads a Tc turn for $25. MJ folds. Guy turns over KK; another brilliant play from a $1/$2 idiot making sure all hands worse than his that might pay him off fold! I cashed out -$9 for the session.
Day 5
We head over to the Aladdin to meet up with MJ, who's just getting out of a meeting. We eat at a restaurant called "Cheeseburger" and he picks up the tab, which was very awesome of him; afterwards we head over to the roulette tables to try out MJ's expert strategy. He said that if you play three numbers, you have a 50% chance of hitting one within 8 spins. So, if you start out betting small and slowly increase your bets if you keep missing to cover your losses, then you have a good chance of hitting before you go broke. Still -EV, but the general idea is that you have to be really unlucky to go broke before you hit (and cover your losses, plus adding a little profit). Jay, Scotty, JP, and Biggle all tried the strategy as well, although they were playing $200 while MJ threw about $2000 down. High rolling at the Aladdin! We picked a bad place to do it though, since the Aladdin wheel has two zeros instead of one (which offers a lot better odds than two, obviously). I guess we were too lazy to walk somewhere else though. MJ hits one of his numbers after maybe 10 spins, and is up $500; he offers to let me go in with half of it on one bet, since he was my affiliate at Party (where I've thrown a ton of rake over the past 1.5 years; when I first mentioned that I signed up through him, he said "Really? You want me to take you to a strip club?" and I started laughing and he said "No, I'm serious, let's go!"). Jay always says "always bet on black" so I said "throw it on black", but the bastard wheel came down on red. That was the beginning of the end; MJ didn't hit another number, and Scotty/Jay/Biggle all blew through their buyins without hitting. JP was the only one to hit, so he threw half of his $160 profits on black and it landed on green. He took the remainder over to Let It Ride, where it lasted a solid 30-40 minutes before he busted.
After that, Jay said he wanted to hit up the Bellagio and try the 2/5 game. I was reluctant at first, but hey, it's just $500 and I didn't actually expect the game to have better players than 1/2. It seems like 1/2 has a lot of nitty regulars and decent young kids that don't have the bankroll to play higher; to true gamblers wanting to play poker, $200 isn't that much money to buy in with, so they play higher. This definitely proved true at the Bellagio. It took about 30 minutes to get on a table; MJ and Jay sat together, while I went to a different table. Scotty and JP went to Caesar's Palace to try the 1/2 there, and Biggle played $4/$8 as always.
AdTh in the BB; a few limpers, I check. Flop is J-x-x, all hearts. Checked around. Turn is a fourth heart, checked around again. River is the Ah putting a flush on board, I'm pretty sure I have the best hand and bet $5. I forgot I was playing $2/$5 and that was the minimum bet; I think it should have been like $10. Anyway, three people called all hoping for a chop, and my ten of hearts won it.
AQs in MP; I raise to $25 or $30, massive donkey calls OTB. He calls way too much, has gone all-in on river multiple times when checked to (hasn't gotten called). Flop is 8-4-2 with a couple diamonds; I CB, he calls. Turn is 6d, check-check, riv is Ks, this is a good card to bluff but I don't think this guy's good enough to fold if I bet. I check, he predictably goes all-in, I fold.
AK in MP, I raise to $30 behind a couple limpers, flop JTx. They check, I check behind; I think I should have CB, but playing at the higher stakes made me a little weak-tight. Turn blank, someone bets $25, I call, riv blank, he bets $50, I fold.
QQ in MP, I raise to $30 behind a limper, he calls, bets out $50 or $60 into a AJT flop, I fold.
AJo in EP, I raise to $25 because I hadn't been playing many hands lately and didn't want my image getting TOO tight. Guy to my left goes almost all-in for $45 more, huge donkey calls, I call. Flop is K77; I check, almost all-in guy bets his last $11, huge donkey calls, I call, turn Q goes check-check on the side, riv blank goes check-check, huge donk has AQ and takes it. Guy to my left flipped TT as well.
At this point I'm down about $220 on the session and getting depressed. Jay comes over and tells me to rebuy, and I know I probably should so I do.
KQ in BB, flop JT8r. Checked around, turn is a 9; beautiful card. I bet out $15, two people call. River is an ace, so I still have the nuts. SB checks, I check; I think the other player likely has a queen and will bet it. He bets $25, SB calls, I raise to $150. Other guy shoves all-in (he has me covered), SB folds, I call and his Q2 is no good. I'm up to $900something in my stack.
I move to the other side of the table to get position on the donks as well as an aggressive player that just sat down to my left. He's won a lot of pots early and quickly got a stack about the same size as mine. I get KK in MP; aggressive dude (young kid from Sweden) raises to $20 in EP, one donk caller, I raise to $100. I made a large raise to give him the worst possible odds while possibly still getting called since I knew I probably couldn't get away from it postflop, and we're deep-stacked. Everyone folded, but I still took $40 on the hand.
KQ in BB...again. Flop QT7 two spades, I bet out $10, some crazy guy raises to $35, folded to me, I call. Turn is a K. I think I probably have the best hand but am reluctant to check-raise with a lot of money behind and a lot of possible draws on board, so I check-call $60. River is a jack, putting TJQK on board. I check, he bets $100, I think for a little bit. I put him on something like two pair throughout the hand, and if he just had one pair then he only beats me if he had an A or 9 kicker to go with it. I was getting 2:1 odds or so, so I decided to call and he had 75o, so I took that pot down. That was the last big hand I played; +$400 on the session. After that we head back, and I woke up today and got on the plane back home. Ta da!
EDIT: Oh, and I only hit two sets all week out of ~40 pocket pairs (and I hit them two hands in a row after bricking on my first ~30), and I didn't get paid on either. Talk about running cold. |
