Sarasota Kennel Club Trip Report

First off they open at 12:15 despite saying 1 pm all last week. Either way I played for about 3-4 hours today and made $230 at a 2-3 NL table. The place was packed and there were quite a few people who had no idea what was going on. They are doing a $5 per half hour timed drop. Was extremely frustrating as my first two dealers got in 6 and 9 hands respectively.

Biggest pot I saw was about 500-600 won by a guy who called a 30 dollar preflop raise, another 60 or so after the flop and another 50 after the turn with 5-7 offsuit. Flop 544. Turn 7 River 7. 3 or 4 people busted on that hand. The only one who showed had a diamond flush draw after the flop that did not hit.

One guy sits down at the table and pays his big blind. 3 people limp, Flop comes K53, 2 hearts. Big blind asks how much he can bet. Dealer says as much as you want. He says oh this is that all in game. Ok All in- 97 dollars into a 12 dollar pot. I don't think he was leveling. Next hand he is small blind and calls big blind. Flop comes K65 rainbow Small blind bets 10 one guy calls. Turn 4 Bets 20. Caller calls. River 10. Bets 20. Caller calls. Small blind flips over J3 and it is good. Same guy then wins a 3 way all in pot with AK and gets like $175 total from the other two guys. Asks dealer how much the green chip is (25) and then gives it to him as a tip.

The place seems very profitable now. I was up to around 350 in profit until the last orbit when QQ<AK8 flop and AQ<AJ all in preflop.
