WOW, what an experience...it was only event # 5 or 6...nothin real big cause the WSOP Circuit is going on at the Showboat...
So we leave Saturday night and it starts snowing...got to the AC Expressway and can't even see the street snowing so hard LOL we finally make it to AC and decide lets go to one of the new poker rooms...so we hit Caesars Poker Room...Its small, its on the main casino floor and its on an elevated type arena...Dealers don't seem that experienced...but they did ok...The players all suck though...I played $3/$6 Limit and did OK for the time I was there...I ended up leaving June and Ian at Caesars cause I wanted to go play the Trump Classic at the Taj...so I dipped and headed down to the Taj..
I get there, pay my buy in and got a free buffet ticket for breakfast...sweete cause I was extra hungry at this time!
Got myself in the mood, said I was gonna play solid poker during this tournament...so here is the recap...
Buy In: $300+$40
Players In: 132
Paying top 18 players
First hand in...dude to my right, busts in 1 1/2 minutes LOL old dude busted him and he was cool as shit...we kept goin back and forth..then my run of cards came...they thinkin im stealin pots, so I tells them, I'll show you next hand I win to let yall know it aint stealing...I ended up showing JJ and they say OK...ask me again..I show AKs so they think im gettin cards...show a couple more big pairs...now im huge with chips so the bluffing game started! ooooh...chips chips chips!!!
Anyway, ended up moving tables and got cold decked...
Get dealt Pocket 10s...and Did I every play them wrong...
Limp in, dude raises to my left, gets a call, then short stack pushes, hmmmm I think then call...and so does dude to my left
AQo
KQo
TT
Q hits the flop
takes 1/3 of my stack....
Get a sweet hand couple hands after
AKspades
guy to my right raises, I just call, and everyone folds..we heads up now
flop all rags, 2 spades...I bet out $1650, he calls
spade hits the turn...I check, he goes all in, I call
he turns over 57spades (he raised with that LOL) but I have the nut flush
OUT HOMIE and I get my chips again...
This is the hand that truely hurt me though...
get dealt 89clubs I limp in along with 3 others...4 to the pot
Flop: 10c Qs Jc 
So I decide to slow play it...(BIG MISTAKE)
everyone checks...
Turn: A spade
ouch...I know im beat already cause I know someone had the King, because of the TT play and then slowplaying this, put me on super tilt and I can't get away from this hand and decide to push...im a pure donkey...but I do have outs..hoping this back door flush hits...when I push, 1 folds, 2 stay in...
River: 6d
MOTHA FUCKA...I have the ass end of the straight, and it flopped...both dudes have a K for the nut straight, and I muck my cards in disgust and im out the tournament....was down to 5 tables when I busted...45th place (9 players to a table)
I was happy with my plat at first, but after I moved tables and didn't catch cards...I dont know what happened, I think I couldn't gotten in the money if I didn't make those 2 crucial mistakes...nut oh well, still paying tuition in late tourney play...hopefully I'll get another chance to go to AC and play in another big tourney...but as for the Taj...the daily tourney should be fixed to allow room to play poker and not a crap shoot...
