You wanna go Up???

Keon got a pass to be a "free" man this week since his wife and kids went to VA Beach for the week to be with family so I hit him on AIM and asked if he wanted to go to Atlantic City Sunday night since there really wasn't any good games Sunday night...So Monday after Cheyenne's mother picks her up, we were ready to go! Travis sleep on the couch, I yell out "wake up, you tryin to go up?", "what?" he says..."Do you want to go UUUUUPPPPP?" He gets up so quick like he just got a shot of adreneline to his heart and started figuring out where he was gonna get some cash to go.

We are going for 1 session, then we comin home...The plan was to be home by Tuesday afternoon......well that was supposed to be the plan.

We get to the Trop, say our hello's and go sit down at the tables...All 3 of us are at different tables...I'm not having the worse time, but wouldn't mind takin a break, or going somewhere else...we talked about playing the Midnite Madness Tournament at the Taj Mahal...so I text Keon and say you tryin to play the tourney? Sure he says, up a little bit...I get up quick before I decide to ship my whole stack...Stuck just a little over a ball, I walk over to travis to see if he wants to go...He was in the middle of a hand...He shipped a big pot and says, why the fuck didn't I come 2 minutes earlier...he decides it might be best to get up and burn the $50 bucks in the tourney...We head to the Taj Mahal to play...

I make it half way through the field but the blinds are just getting huge round after round...mind you that blinds are 12 minutes long...I mush all in with my last 7K in chips with KTd, AQo is all in, 57s is all in as well...I pick up my flush draw on the turn and the river brought a Q to scoop the pot, im out, Keon busts out not too much longer after me and Travis is sittin on a very short stack...but at this point, th chip leader is also a short stack compared to the blinds, Its late, so we are railbirding Trav when its down to 3 tables...Trav gets movd to another table and runs his stack up mushing every chance he could pick up those blinds, as players are busting out like quickly, travis is headd to the final table as chip leader...they want to take a 10 way chop...bottom monyes $71 bucks, while 1st place takes 2K...travis is chip leader with 9 BBs and Encouages the table to take the chop for a $470 take evenly...that chop takes home more money than 4th place money...so we grab a cab and head back to the trop..Grab breakfast and sit down to play a lil more...

Me and trav sit down to the sickest table I've ever played at that I can remember...I'm running cold the first couple hours and it was taking a toll on me...so instead of me tilting off my chips, I decide to figure out ways to make this run warm up a lil bit...I splurted out a couple of ideas like jumping through the glass over the escalator from the poker room to the downstairs hotel lobby and landing on my face, I asked Travis to stab me and my eyes out....I called Cheyenne and ask for some good luck from her, I even text keenan to tell me I was gonna win a million dollars...last time he said that I won big...Then it was time to change the set ups....as they were changing the decks out, I asked politely if I could burn that set up as I welcome to the new set up to the table. Its on now...

I got one more hundo from Travis bought 20 more red betting disks to add on to my stack after dropping $450 to the table already and worked my stack back up little by little...Now this table is sick...its numerous players sitting on very deep stacks...couple of them sitting with more than 1K...There was plenty of action and this table surely wasn't playing like it was a $1-$2 table...if you looked at the table, it looked like a $2-$5 table...shit at one point the table was deeper than the $2-$5 table running...

Now im playing good, not getting out of line, having a great time at the table, the whole table is in a good mood and just can't really fathom of how sick this table was made it a great game going! These guys were happy to lose chips! peeling 2 Balls at a time to rebuy when they ship there stack...and not even angry about the losses! It was great...so as the stacks are getting larger and larger, I'm finding the light at the end of the tunnel of red back to black! sitting with a close to a rack of red birds...I get into a big hand with one of the donkeys at the table...he was sitting with a stack a little over $400 and I have him covered going into the hand...I'm in the BB looking at 66, guy makes it $12 and gets 4 callers.

Flop comes out 622

Travis makes it $25 to go after I check, young boy makes it $50, I take it to $135, travis insta mucks, and young boy doesn't even think hard about it, looked at me and called ..wow

Turn brings a T..he checks it, I make it $250 to go..I wanted to say I bet a rack of pink chips, but I didn't wanna make any jokes about it so just stuck $250 out there...this dude thinks and calls...WOW...he leaves himself with about $61 behind

River brings a 2...I hear somebody say that counterfit me, and me being me, I just always think the worse of the situation...thinkin he has the duece to quad him up....I put him all in and he says he can't fold now and flips over QQ for dueces full...that no goot...i table my 66 to scoop the pot, whats funny was young boy was like I have a boat what are you doing, dealer had to explain why he lost LOL, He got a green bird and 2 red bird tip for that hand...and a hand full of white chips couple hands later when I was done stacking his chips!!

When players busted, they just kept filling out tables out with players waiting...and when they sat with the max buy in of 300...they were short stacked compared to the table...it was sick...and nobody who sat at our table got up with chips, oh, they left it there...and if they realizd they had no shot, they got up and changed tables, but they got up leaving a good portion of they stack...

I busted this chinese dude who thought he was the shit, another young player not more than 23 years old sits at the table and runs his stack up a smidget...sitting with a little over $300 when he originally sat with around $140...I look down to AA and make it $7 to go...he makes it $17 and everyone folds around to me, so I make somethin like $45 to go and he just calls....Flop comes out 994, I bet out $125, he moves all in and I insta call...can't remember turn and river, but he flips over AJo and my aces hold...ship the whole team...he gets up and storm out the poker room. Its funny at the reads other players have..young guy sitting next to travis and Ted whispered over to Travis and said you boy is way behind...trav looked at him and said you think? you are way wrong sir...travis told him what I had..shit, it was writtin over my face, and I surely didn't try and hide it...I tabled it to confirm that travis was right to the guy...and more importantly to claim my pot!!!

when the fish finally stopped comin, it was close to 6am wednesday...we were at that table for close to 24 hours lol we decide to move tables...one of the young dudes that was at our table that tilted 10 minutes of sitting at our game was at another table, I started scoping tables to see where I was gonna sit at when our table broke and it was that same table he was sitting at i wanted...specially after he says, dn't sit here, we don't want you here...hmmmmm...I'm going to sit over here when my table breaks just to break his ass...

Our table breaks and sit opposite sides of the table of him...I'm sitting with 1K and the dealer tries to tell me I can't sit at the table with my stack...huh? coming from a broken game you are allowed to sit with your whole stack...while talkign to the dealer about this..travis sits down with 3 racks of red...1 guy with a stack barely over 100 got his mouth watering like he is gonna do something...yeah, he stacked off...but the guy that said I was welcome to sit down, racked up his lil $200 bucks, got his friend, and they left before I was dealt my first hand...and just kept mumbling this is bullshit lol

I ran out of gas and just couldn't play any longer, told travis im done if h wasn't i was going to the car to go to sleep and wait till he is ready to go...he cashed out when h was UTG and got out and headed back to DC for the wednesday game...
