Went to the Commerce on Thursday night for the first time ever. While my friends were out looking for celebrities, I was hoping to run into Pokerbob, Howmany, Private Joker, Death Donkey, Joe Tall, etc. It's amazing how my perspective has changed. I didn't run into any of them or I don't think I did.

I didn't play poker Thursday. Next time, let me know in advance. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

[HOWMANY]

I played 40 for a while on Thursday for some reason but I doubt I played with you. I sat at 1 table for like 1 orbit before getting mustmoved and then sat for a while in a game with ShawnHoo and 7 other subhumans that spent their time creating art by smearing their feces on the table.

I think James Woods was there on Thursday as well a couple tables away from my 60 game playing maxbet.

I'm pretty sure I didn't play with any of you in the 40 game I was in unless you magically transformed into a middle age asian man, a middle age asian woman or an older european woman. The only person I thought might be 2p2 was a guy from Chicago (like me) that had flown out there that night on a one way ticket (to his girlfriend's chagrin). I'm pretty sure he's not after watching him play for a while. He said he lost a fair amount of money playing 1-2 at the B this summer during the World Series, so some of you may have taken some of his cash.

Howmany,
I'm going to try and play at Oceans 11 when I'm in S.D. 9/7-9/9. I'll PM you if I'm going to be there although it sounds like you play there more during the week.

[TonyDanza]

The fact that Jimmy Woods was there would have impressed the guys I was hanging with the rest of the weekend. One of the guys allegedly hooked up with Ashley Madison (Woods' girl) 2+ years ago when we were in Vegas. I saw the girl he hooked up with and can't confirm whether it was her or not.

For those of you who would like to enjoy the Casino Arizona experience from the comfort of your armchairs I bring you the following:

20-40 game full of the usual suspects. Luckily I am stuck only one rack because my big pairs keep running into under-sets that don't even raise at any point and none of my draws get there. Plus, I've hardly had any hands to play to the extent that when I do play one the table exclaims 'LOOK! He's in a hand!' but they call against me anyway.

Finally I get K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG and raise. I then watch the parade of cold-callers (I think 1 guy mucked) and know I've got to flop something decent and what comes?

The J.H.C.!, OMG!, WTF! flop of:

A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Well, putting prudence before valor, I check and it gets checked around.

Turn:

Some small[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Checked to MP who is a guy I like (a gentleman who has good poker etiquette) but it must be said: He plays retarded and he bets. Folded to SB who may be an even nicer person but he plays even more retarded and he calls and I think 'Sumphin ain't right here' and I call planning to c/r my miracle 2-outer and call a single bet if the river doesn't complete a broadway, or either flush draw.

River: Blank.

I check, MP bets, SB calls and I call thinking 'this is either real smart or real stupid but at least I won't have to show if I'm beat.'

MP turns over 55, SB turns over 10-10 and MHIG!

Come on out to CAZ and you too can enjoy this sort of action! Plus there's golf! Restaurants are mostly chains, though, and that's NG if you're from some decent city with ethnic neighborhoods that have good food. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Ellix Powers came and took some of my french fries today. He did ask first, but he appeared to be doing nothing but wandering the casino for hours. Hope you enjoyed the fries, Ellix.

Is he calling YOU subhuman, or himself?

I know this isn't the strategy forum, but...

I could in some % of the time understand a flop check, but how can you check the turn?


Anyway, I run goot. 9/10 last sessions baby! Here's some examples of my "expert" play.

============

I open-raise button with K8o, SB folds, BB re-raises, I call.

Flop is 8-6-2 rainbow. BB bets, I call.

Turn is Q rainbow. BB bets, I raise, he insta-calls.

River is 8. BB donks, I raise, BB calls showing AA.

============

I open-raise 99, 3 callers behind, blinds call.

Flop is 7-6-4, I bet, 2 callers, SB raises, BB calls, I call, 2 LP call.

Turn is K. SB bets, BB calls, I raise, LPs fold, SB calls, BB calls.

River is 7, checked around. SB shows 64. Ship me the gold doubloonies.

My book on "how to raise with the worst hand and get there" will be coming soon...

Or, more realistically, that you'll say to fold.

You're going to have a hard time getting action on that bet. When does Damon ever do anything else?

Okay just blow me. I only wish I never learned to play all retarded like you guys. My old life of folding and winning was so much easier than my new life.
