Family Trip to Atlantic City

Monday's $1-$2 NL game was a go..had a new face, but I doubt he knew what he was getting himself into...he was just learning the game he mentioned to me, and Monday's game was not the game to get your feet wet in...He pretty much had no shot and exited the game alot sooner than he planned...For a short game, the action was pretty sick but it ended earlier than normal...

Off to AC I go first thing in the morning...

I went up with my Parents and they said I could bring Cheyenne so she can go to the beach...It was a good thing cause I would be able to take breaks from playing and hang out with Cheyenne. My parents were comped a room for the week at Showboat so I just said I would stay there...there was no need for me to get a seperate room cause I already knew there would be no sleeping for me and I only would need to go up there to take a shower and change clothes.

Soon as we get to AC, I didn't even bother going with them to check in..."Drop me off here and I'll hook up with you all around 8PM so you all can go play and I'll take Cheyenne to the Steel Pier Carnival in front of the Taj...Cheyenne and I had a blast there that night, we rode all the rides and played some games, then we walked across to the Taj to play in the arcade. She likes to play the games where you can win tickets for the prizes like at Chuck E Cheese, and she made a bunch of tickets!!

So back to the Trop...I played $1-$2 NL and made a decent profit...Took a cab back to Showboat, hung out with Cheyenne then went and was going to play the Midnight Tournament at the Taj but it was a little early, so I went downstairs to the poker room at the Showboat but they didn't have a seat open so I caught a cab to the Trop...WRONG MOVE

My whole plan was to win some money to freeroll the Borgata Open on Wednesday...it was the $500 buy in....how quickly I was in the game for that $500...I HAVE to cash 1K now if I want to play...arghhh....let me get comfortable...It was disgusting how quick I was in for the $500...Boat after boat after boat was crushing me...with my last buy in, I ended up gettin all my money in on the flop when I flopped top 2 to bottom set..ship it that'a way...I can't take this beating any longer...see yall tomorrow...caught a cab back to the showboat and just couldn't see myself going upstairs w/o tryin to get it back here....lets try this...Sit with $100 and played extra tight..sneaking in a few pots takin them down little by little...I finally have a little over $200 and look what I found!! I found my voice!!! Talkin shit here and there....next thing I know I'm stuck $100 over all for the night...Eh...Only need to get $100 to break dead even..."MEDIC!!! MEDIC!!! I NEED STITCHES PLEASE"

Wow...where the hell did my chips go? Oh hell now..this table is breaking...aint that a bitch...Switch to the other table and its well into the morning now...the poker room is starting to fill up for the morning tournament...still grindin..playing Heinz Poker...I finally get into a big hand to stack some kid when I flopped a set on a K63 board...I raised my Pocket 3s, and the kid caught Top 2...we went into a raising war and finally got my chips in the middle with him looking like he wans to earl when I stuck the rest of my chips in there...I get up and walk away for him to decide specially there was a crowd just hanging out watching waiting for the tourney to start...Just had to throw the dramatic all in walk away joint in that joint, he calls..told him I had a set, he said he had Top 2, he gets up and walks out the room...pot was close to $800 at end, and I'm actually up for the session....2 orbits later, CASH ME OUT BITCHES after leakin about $125 away....Pretty much dead even for the trip now...

Went to sleep finally woke up and hung out with Cheyenne for the night..went back to the steel pier..played more games, rode more rides...won some prizes....it was fun...but it was getting late, so I take her back to the room, My mom is done for the night, so I make my way to the Taj toplay the midnite tourney...Blinds are 12 minutes long so since you get to see maybe 5 hands per level, I was just gonna build chips fast or make for a fast exit...I stacked this lady who gave me the finger by the way...it was jokingly...I think cause she did it with a smile...but either way it was funny to me....Stacked her and doubhled through her with 23h...Blinds are 100-200 I make it 600 to go...Kh3c8h...we are heads up...$1500 in the pot...she checks, I bet 900, she thinks, she calls...Qd...she checks, I go all infor maybe 9000 or so...she auto calls...i flip over my 23 and she flips her cards...OOOPS....Duece on the River...Ship the Pot please...she is left with 200 chips...I smiled...and gave me the finger.

I end up shipping it later on a flush draw and head to the trop....

Get to the Trop...Soon as i sit down, I sat in the BB and woke up to the monster 78o...limps 6 ways all the way around...Flop 9TJr...Wow..."Yo Bet" Yo Bet, $11 to go...drunk guys looks at me and raises...wow...$35 now to go...folds to me...Raise....Damn man, I just sat down, I need chips again....$120 sir....He thinks...Calls...."all in dark" I shove my chips fast...drunk guy says I can't do that...Its dark sir, its my bet for the turn...dealer explains..8 falls, I says wow thats a bad card for me sir...he sys uh..call...River Trey....He flips over KJ and I say, no good sir, ship it...Skraight....Later that morning, I get stacked by a guy tilting hard from a broken game...He raises $10 and I call with QJd...Flop comes out QsQh7s...I bet it out maybe $30 and he makes it $100 to go...I have about $275 behind me after the call, I tell him...fuck it man, only 3 hands beat me dawg...I'm all in..he thinks....calls...wow...Js....5s....he flips over KsKh..wow...I tell him, that wasn't one of the 3 hands that beats me and he flipped out on me...I don't give a fuck bout that man...I don't give a fuck...Whoa homie..I stood up, aint no need for all that dawg...all that animosity...he pulled me to the side 25 minutes later and appologized for the outburst...

so I go back to the showboat and play till its time for us to go home...eat at the buffet, got a massage at the spa right outside the poker room...I sat out an hour for that shit...came back to get stacked to runner runner broadway when the ace that fell gave me aces up...eh...

My moms wants to stay another night, you don't have to ask me twice...but no more more rooms available, so we just make our way back home...

Over all I was stuck $25 bucks for the trip...but I spent a shit load of money outside the poker room...Indeed I had a Great time!

Can't wait to go up in 2 weeks and grind it out foreal foreal!
