A Win
I do not have a set place to go right now as the Hideaway $10/20 game does not go anymore and I do not like to play at Parkers in the $8/16 game or the $12/24 game because it takes to long to get into on a weekend. I decided to go to the Muckelshoot Indian Casino in Auburn, which is not that close but they offer bigger games. I do not like to give my money to a place that does not pay taxes to the state on their gaming income, but I do not have much of a choice right now. The place was packed. All those suckers that dump at the blackjack, craps, and other Vegas games were in full force. You don't even get comped if you lose big. Gotta love the casino business.
The poker room was full too. They had everything from $2/4 stakes up to $20/40 going. I got up for the $10/20 and $20/40 games. I also put up for a new $30/60 and $50/100 game. I got a seat in the $10/20 game after about 15 minutes, and proceeded to play my game. I won a few pots, and then after about 45 minutes they started a must move $20/40 game that I went to. They could have started the $30/60 game but chose the must move game, what great customer service. I started off in the $20/40 game just like my last two months. No cards, ton of crap. I blinded off for about an hour, which at $30 a round adds up quick. I had given my small profit of $150 from the $10/20 game back in blinds,and then picked up pocket QQ's UTG and raised. I got 4 callers. Wow, I had not played a hand for an hour and then raise UTG and get 4 callers, Nice. Flop comes A high. I bet right out to find out where I am, and get raised and then two more guys cold call. I take off the turn for the extra bet and get no help and dump the hand. Looks like the same shit different day. I get called for the must move game, and even though I do not really want to go because the game is good action and there are a few gamblers at the table, I must move so I do.
This turns out to be a good move. I get a new table, fresh start, and a few of the guys from the other table get moved in as well. All is good. I have not played down there in over a year, so I did not recognize anyone at the table and I would assume that no one knew me as well. It took me about 1/2 to get the table dynamics down, and then I put a game plan into action. It was a really passive table, lots of cheap flops and not much post flop raising. I decided to play an aggressive game and bluff to see if I could pick up some pots. It worked to perfection. I still did not get manage to great cards, but I stole a lot of pots, and even made a hand or two when I was behind. It felt like normal again. I sill had a few runner runner beats, but not all my hands lost like the last two months. I booked a small win for that game of $685, but hey it a win. Cool.
I will not get to play much over the next week as work is still killing my card playing. I will probably not play until Vegas on the 19th for a few days. I might get one random day in here somewhere. Talk to you soon. SJ
