Death in a Heartbeat
Well the fun(pain) this year won't stop. I took my trip to the Muck on Tuesday this week as normal and the list for the $50/100 game was massive for that game. Ten names on the list. The good news for us was that there were some higher limit players in the room so we asked the floorman if we could jump the $50 game and start a $100/200 three handed. To my surprise he actually agreed. Now this was a shock because they rarely are customer friendly here but I guess you can always change your ways.
So we start the game with Aaron myself and Chris. Not the best spot in the world to make money, but I figured if we started it we may get one or two others. We did pick up one player right away and stayed 4 handed for a while. I got stuck right out of the gate. Aaron was playing his super aggressive style and hit me with a 9,7 offsuit three bet raise when I had A,Q. Flop came 7,7,10. I checked he bet and I raised, he three bet the flop and I called. Now I could have just laid it down right there putting him on a real hand like a big over pair but I did not. I put him on a pair of 55, 66, maybe 99's but nothing big. The turn came and A. Trouble card for me. I check raised him in that spot and he three bet me again. OK trouble. I called again with the intention of check calling the river as now the pot was too big to lay down to him as he has it well within his playing style to bluff here in that spot, but I had a feeling I was in deep water. The river came Q, so now I had top two but still decided to check call the river as he was representing a big hand, and yes he showed me the 9,7 off for a flop trips. Nice hand sir. BAM stuck. I worked my way from stuck to even to stuck to even all day. The table actually got up to 7 handed at one point, and a few guys hit and run, but of course I went nowhere.
The end of the night came quickly. Aaron after running it up over $8,000 then went on a terrible run of big hands matching up against weaker hands that hit the flop or the river and he lost back all his profit plus another few thousand. He was super pissed, and in a grouchy mood so he quit leaving me to play with Tommy(pro player) has won some events in LA and now owns the Midway casino up here in Seattle and another Asian dude who was just a horrible player with a lot of money. I figured it was still a good spot for me so I decided to play for a little longer. I was dead even at 1:00am and stuck a rack and 1/2 by 1:10am. I lost 5 big pots in a row to the Asian guy when he hit me with great match ups every time. I had a A,10 flop two pair and he flopped a straight. I flop top pair and he would flop second and get there. Last hand of the night I had Q,6 suited in the SB and he raised on the button, I called out of the blind and hit top pair on a Q,9,5 flop. Now I know some of you are saying you dumbshit Q,6 out of the blind. This can go either way in a three handed game. It was the bad Asian player and I figured I could get away from the hand if I missed or out play him. Turned out to be a really stupid idea. Mucking would have been a much better option. I bet out to see where I was and he called. Turn a 6, perfect for me I thought, I bet our again, he raised now, I three bet and he capped. Shit trouble again??? river a 9, I check call and he shows me pocket 55's for a flopped set. Ouch. I quit now stuck and pissed. I have just been running horrible for over three months. I have only played a total of 14 sessions this year and really only 11 as the others were $8/16 and $3/5 blind no limit just goofing around and have lost 8 out of those 11. None of them have been big losses, but a loss is still a loss. I am getting really sick of this.
I am not going to play next week so I may be sparse in posting. Hope you are all having a way better year that I am so far. Talk to you soon. By the way Aaron will be playing in the WPT event in Reno this weekend. Good luck dude, you could use it as bad as I can. SJ
