Everywhere but the Wynn. Bellagio 30 or Rio 20. Mirage 20 and 40 is good at night also.

This is getting absolutely disgusting. I get to the casino and immediately sense the annoying bitch that has been winning the past couple days is now not running hotter than the sun. As PokerBob might say, I was ready to "procure her dollars" or some such thing. I immediately win a few giant pots from Mike L without him having a chance for his patented 1 minimum 2 outter per session against me. I isolate the woman over and over and over and over and before you know it she's walking out the casino yet her dollars are right in front of me.

Nobody wants to play 75 so I have to go to the main game eventually where I manage to incinerate all 3 racks I had won in the shorthanded game with incredible ease, plus a little extra just in case. Game goes down to 4 handed with nothing particularly interesting happening. The game is Roc, Mike L, me and a fish. I would rate my seat as the best one in the game, on Roc's right, Mike's left and the fish in the middle. This way the fish is in the blinds in my CO/button. The only bad thing is that I will have to fight Mike for the button and have Roc to deal with in my CO, but still having position on the fish is good. I manage to grind back to up 2-3 racks for much of the play, though it was fluctuating between slight winner and bigger winner most the time. The whole time it was 4 handed I felt as if I was playing the best I had in a long time, but that might be because I think 4-5 handed is my strongest point.

Roc eventually leaves so it's Mike, fish and me. I don't like 3 handed but I'm winning and won't be able to fall asleep anyway (it's about 6am at this point I'd guess). By the time Mike leaves he has taken most my winnings, but things are not desperate by any means, if anything my situation has improved, because I now get to play the fish HU. I pound pound pound him to get back up quite a bit and him having very few dollars left to wager when God smiles on me yet again. A 5/5 NL game breaks sending someone that is clearly horrible at poker to our game. He buys in for 1 rack. 15 minutes later the fish I'd been playing all night has about the same amount of dollars he did when the new guy joined. The new guy on the other hand has increased his 1 rack to over 4 and I have rebought because he played every hand and I played them all with him. Unfortunately he won them all.

I wanted to stick around to chase this unbelievably disappointing loss but my stomach started to kill me, either a result of the disgusting seedy/onion bagels the food service woman tried to poison me with or from the onslaught of absurd hands.

My favorite hand of the day was one I thought I played really well, unfortunately it ended with Mike's most powerful fighting technique, the 2 outter.

4 handed fish raises CO, I 3bet KTo, mike caps sb, Roc folds, call call. Flop K55r. Mike bets fish and I call.

Turn some random blank
Mike checks, fish checks and I do my new favorite thing where I trick someone with my body language and bet like I'm not comfortable. Mike then c/r me as planned with confidence. No clue whether he is c/r me because of the body language thing, because he could have a good hand here anyway I guess. Since 3betting makes him fold his drawing dead/2-3 outters or to 4bet my drawing dead/2-3 outters it seemed wise to call down. River 8 I call, 88 good yay

I really hope I start winning again because typing like a 500 word essay at the end of each session to bitch is getting old. Bragging when winning is lame, but complaining about losing is fun. I'm really not enjoying when I come home each day and have to put more Benjamin Franklins into my rubber band for the next day. I remember a time when I used to have to take some of my precious Bennies out of the rubberband to store in a noble sock at the end of a session while leaving the rubberband full for the next session, but now I seem determined to be a losing poker player forever.

I don't know about anyone else, but my experience at the rio was extremely aggravating. I was on a table about 10 feet from a speaker that was blasting tournament nonsense for hours. While the tournament director repeated himself about 4 times on where the button should be, the table was arguing about if a guy could post between the blinds. The dealer sat there silently, I asked him what the rule was and he said he didnt know. I mentioned he should maybe call the floorand he just sat there. The players decided it was ok and the game went on. I know this was a rare case, but the dealers on average were bad, the room was loud and I felt like i was in a warehouse. Oh yeah, the table was so high(or the chairs were so low) I felt like a 7 year old sitting at the dinner table.

............Or maybe I didnt like the rio cause I lost 3 racks playin 20/40 the only time i was there. Or maybe it was the rios fault i lost............

Yeah, i wanna punch the poker gods in the throat. It's wierd how you can win 45 outta 50 then lose 10 straight. This roller coaster of emotions is tearing my soul apart! Oh yeah check this gem out: I'm playin 6-12 while i run bad, and I decide its time for a golden tee/smoke break. I'm playin good, having a good ol' time when my buddy comes around the corner and tells me "oh my god, our table just hit the jackpot!". Which is the same as sayin "hey everyone at the table gets thousands of dollars.......except you!" (you have to be dealt in to get the monies) Then I was pissed and blew my good round of tees..............DISASTER!!!

tonight I experienced something new, I was literally sick to my stomach, I'm not even kidding, I did actually get nauseous, can't think of anything strange I ate, so it must have been caused by the excessive ass raping I experienced

I so desperately wanted to stab one of those monkeys it's insane

I actually managed to hit 1 draw the entire evening, which obv was in a tiny HU pot where opp was all in on the turn

luckily I'm on a forced break from poker bc I'm gonna get properly wasted, and some, the next 4 days, god I'm gonna redefine the definition of wasted

still [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] pkr tho

yeah, I'm weak and stuff, couldn't not log in, still on the pkrbreak though, and haven't been drinking this hard in a long time, woke up feeling pretty much ok, which was a huge bonus, kinda curious how fckdup I'm gonna be after three more of these days and nights

just remembered something funny about the hand where I hit my draw, bc the guy that was all in started bitching and complaining like a little baby about how ul he was and how lucky I was for hitting my draw

I was like: dude, I had an open ended and it hit, wtf? he went on about how I don't know $hit and told me I should try to do the math, blah blah blah, bc it was a <u>1 in 7</u> chance and I was very lucky to hit it

that actually made me lol pretty damn hard

1) The Rio blows worse than any room in the country as far as dealing, floors and comfort go. The action is a juice-fest though. I lost alot of money there.

2) You won 45 sessions out of 50? If this is the case then losing 10 in a row is not bad at all.

3) You play at the Canterbury Gambling Hall? Do I know you?

[BrainBanana]

I went into quick dramatic exaggeration mode. So its more like 40 of 50, but the 10 of 11 losses is exact. Yeah you know me, I am the rare facially pierced variety of Dave. And yes, the rio had some awesomely bad players, but everything about the room pissed me off. You still in vegas?

Is there anything better in life than going to sleep at 10:30am and waking up at 9:15pm?

Perhaps winning 15k playing 75/150 will feel better. I sure hope so, because that's my plan for right now.
