i hate foxwoods (trip report and running bad report inside)
 

On a recent jaunt to foxwoods, I brought 20k to play 5/10 NL (and 10/25 if a good game was being spread but there wasnt) I was playing 5/10 buying in for the full amount and got repeatedly coolered over and over again.

This is all in an 8 hour period:

-QQ vs KK ai preflop against a drunk maniac who was raising 70% of hands.

This other young guy at my table who i think was 2p2 was in a pot with him, maniac raises, young kid reraises, maniac just cold calls from the sb. board is A 8 4, the drunk guy unbuttons his shirt collar in a deliberate fashion and announces "I have pocket jacks, and I'm all in." Then he shows two red jacks and tables them for everyone to see. There is a crowd of maybe 6 or 7 people around the table and nobody laughs, everyone waits for college guy to say something.

College guy stands up, looks at the jacks, sits back down, looks at his cards, and finally tosses them into the muck.

So naturally when I pick up QQ and I have a chance to isolate the guy soon afterward I think I have the [censored] absolute immortal nuts. oops haha

-TP2K with 2nd nut flush draw vs TPTK with nut flush draw (villain somehow misses a value bet here and i dont get stacked completely)

-ok i reload, 45 minutes later set over set (77 vs JJ on 2 7 J board, 1 limper in the CO, i raise my button, straddle calls the raise blind wheeeee)

(here i start steaming)

-AQ < AJ aipf against old man who was otherwise a nice gentleman (i think he told me earlier in the session "keep playin' tight, ull get 'em!")

-I have A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on a J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] board, pot is 3-bet preflop, villain leads for half pot on flop, i shove, he tanks and calls with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and he doesn't have to sweat the two black 4 bricks that roll off for even 10 seconds.

Overall Im down 10k at this point. I contemplated playing pit games to chase losses since i was definitely in no mood to play poker anymore, but my ride told me that if i played roulette or put even $5 on blackjack he would leave my ass at foxwoods.













So he left me at foxwoods and I ended up making 1500 back and got a ride back from someone else. -8500 though. Good times.

Ok commence flaming and berating me please, teach me to run good again bbv.

Stick around until 10/25 - buy-in for 12k - problem solved.

Got stuck in a blizzard there last winter and had to hitchhike back to White Planes, NY with a total stranger and his girlfriend. It was me and my buddy (national boxing champ) and I think the girlfriend in the front seat was so upset her boyfriend would pick up a hitch hiker that she was almost in tears. Good times, good times.

Re: i hate foxwoods (trip report and running bad report inside)
 

lol

Re: i hate foxwoods (trip report and running bad report inside)
 

Losing 10k at the Foxwoods 5-10 is so depressing.

Like, wow, people there suck so bad, its like printing money. Sorry man.

the hand is 3-bet preflop dum dum.
it means person A says "i raise" prior to the flop, person B says in turn "i reraise your wager sir" person A thereafter says "your wager ... has been called"

drum drum. Did you sit down at the 5-10 limit table then? It's always hilarious when we get people who don't know what game they're playing.

Believe it or not you monkey, the terminology also applies to no limit.

Or I dunno, you could be 100% right. I had no idea what game i was playing, and for all i know Krantz's "3-bet.net" site might just be a minbet coaching site.

Or you could be an idiot <<< ding ding ding ding ding***

Also who is "we" lol. You and Diana?

Re: i hate foxwoods (trip report and running bad report inside)
 

Sorry, nothing gets '3-bet' at a 5/10 NL limit table.

That's the equivalent of "I bet", "I min-raise you...", "Oh yeah, well I min-raise YOU..."

Sorry, that's not happening at Foxwoods.

Re: i hate foxwoods (trip report and running bad report inside)
 

Technically u might be right but people still refer to their bets/raises in NL when describing hands that occurred using the term and also while at the table i have heard "3-bet/(s)" frequently, and then they pick a raise of their choosing.

Re: i hate foxwoods (trip report and running bad report inside)
 

I disagree.

I'm sorry. but if you say "I 3-bet" at a NL table, a few things will happen, none of which you have stated.

A: You will not be able to then 'pick a raise of your choosing'.
B: The dealer will have to correct you with something like "Sir, this is a no limit table. Raises must be declared in amounts, not bets."
C: From the moment you say '3-bet', you will be considered a limit monkey and people will surely start taking shots at you.

So in closing, I'm not trying argue or bust your balls here. I'm just saying........no.

Actually that is a great way to make sure that you get action. Works best if you can min raise someone on the turn during your first tne minutes.

You guys are [censored] morons.


OP,
Well played, run better next time.
