As usual, the Pink Game was Good...'cept for me...Started 6 handed as the late players were comin later on in the evening...I sat for no more than 30 minutes to ship a cool $300 to the table...That did piss me off just a little bit because the plan was to go to Atlantic City as soon as the game breaks....Game breaks at 7am and we are headed off to AC for the rest of the weekend...
Plan was to play the Borgata Saturday morning Tournament...$300+$40 with 30 minute blinds and a starting stack of 10K...
I busted maybe somewhere in the 80s out of 155 players...Keenan is still in the tournament so Nelly and I go play some $25/min Black Jack...I shipped $200 (Down $540 now)...Keon came over after he busted and was drunk and obviously having a good time playing Black Jack for the first time...Nelly is a Black Jack Rounder!!
We head over to the Trop and check in our room...Dead tired, we order some Room Service....Took about an hour..while waiting I fell asleep for a quick nap...ate some food, Took a shower and headed to the poker room.
First table I sat at, im in for $200..added on another $100....with my stack just leaking and takin a pot or 2 down to break even, 1 hand got me over the top only $100 before breaking the table...
Im in for $8 with 9Ts in Mid Position...5 players...
Pot: $40
Flop: 9h9d3s
Check around to me, I bet out $25, "all in", fold around to me...I have him covered...eh..I call...
he flips over 33 and I table my 9Ts
Turn: 7
River: 7
OOOOPS....Ship it...table breaks not 1 orbit later....
Move to a dead table, that breaks within 30 minutes...Charles wants to fill the Simulcast table and I just hate playing in that room, I ask for the High Limit room and sit at a great table...I'm runnin this table over, stack is at over $600 only to sit at the table with $200 cashing my profit from the other table...
MEDIC
Top Pair, Nut Flush draws...MISS
I flopped a straight, to get run down by the diamond flush draw on the river...
Draws can't get there, and as the morning went close to Noon, I ask for a table change..the whole table just changed...good players, and they were not there for fun, serious WSOP Wannabe's sittin at the $1-$2 NL table...Keon is at a table that is loud, laughing..and BAD PLAYERS...Keon is one of the 2 big stacks of the table sitting with close to 1K...I ask if he didn't mind me moving over to the table..he doesn't so I move tables...and what a move...
I sit down to the deck smashing my head over...
I Just ran my $200 stack close to $500 again then got mixed up with the other big stack of the table...
I look down to KK and make it $8 to go...I been raising almost every hand since I sat at the table...so I frequently got alot of callers....
Bunch of us see the flop
Flop: AdKh9x
I bet out $25 and got raised to $50...folds to me and re-raise him $100...stick my $150 out there and get insta called...
Turn is Jx
I check and the guy bets maybe $125...I pause a lil bit and say all in...
he thinks and calls..flips over AJ
River is 3x and my set of Kings hold up for a MONSTER POT bringin me close to 1K...
Guy sits down and plays over aggressive, always re-raising me...he sat with $300...I let him steal a couple pots from me, and finally look down to KK again....he bet out $10 Preflop and I raised him to $45...he insta calls....
Flop: 3dKdKh
He bets out $20 and I say I have outs and just call the $20
Turn: can't remember but dude bets out again and I just put him all in...he thinks but he only has about 70 behind, he calls and he flips over TT...I say 2 pair and table the KK for Quads...
Another hand at the other table I hit quad 6s and got paid off by the old filipna lady who was holding QQ when the Q hit the River...I flopped a set of 6s, turned my quads and she is betting saying she has the best hand, just calling all the way to the river then stuck a nice bet out there puttin her all in on the river...that Q was monster cause she couldn't call any faster than she did!
I also hit a straight flush holding 67s when I rivered the 5s giving me the NUTS and got paid off with a nice $65 river bet after getting there...the K high flush got there...wish he had the Ace cause he would've stuck his whole stack in there...he asked me...would you have called an all in on the flop? I flopped a flush draw and a gut shot straight draw...i said sir...I would've asked if I could take money out my pocket...he said I had gamble...
I just hate when people ask that question...my answer is always the same, Yes I will call an all in...or can I pull money out my pocket...Its funny to me when other players ask that question and the other player actually thinks about it and re-caps the hand the way it was played to answer the question...just fuckin say Yes I would've for Pete's Sake!!!!!
Cashed out a nice $1,160 to make the money back I dropped playing the tourney/floor games at the borgata with a small profit! Keenan said I was gonna make $1300 and he was close...Thanks For reverse jinxing me!!!
I think I built my Kharma Level up at the Trop a by 2 points...Standing in Line...2 Female Dealers come to me and say...we try to push you the pot all the time...you take care of us when you are here...I said next time you take care of me, I do the same and smiled...I thought it was cool to hear...I do tip my dealers well there...I was throwing them $1 or $2 chips as tip for the players that never tipped when they scooped a pot...I see big pots get won and the dealer gets $2 bucks...I mean its fine and all I guess...but as a dealer...I know for a fact, I'd rather ship the pot to the better tipper....Take no offense when I say that..I know there are good reasons not to tip huge like that...specially when you play alot...it can add up and at the end of the year, if you tracked just tips...I can see it getting high in the thousands....specially when a game is raked 10% up to $4 max at the casino....when I won that monster pot I tipped the dealer $25 bucks and after stackin my chips 1 hand later, I strung tipped him more red birds...big pots deserve big tips...thats just my opinion...oh..don't let me and keenan at the table...lucky dealers like James will get in the middle of a tipping war! LOL I been in one of those on the dealer side and I must say they are very fun!
