Maybe PLO is my game?

I headed up to Foxwoods on Thursday morning after spending the night at the girlfriends house in Jersey. Usually if I visit her on wednesday I go home at night and then from there go to the casino in the morning, but I really wanted to watch the baseball game. They should call him Huge Garbage I think. I also went to movies a few times this week. Dr Marston and The Wonder Women, Marshall, and Goodbye Christopher Robin were all very good.

So I got up Thursday morning and she drove me to the train. NJ train to NYC, then the 7 train to Flushing for the Asian bus. Who needs a car? Not me. I won the matchplay roulette spin. I always bet red(I hate black, obv) and it’s been hot lately. So I tried to check in around 2pm and was told I couldn’t yet. Sounds like bullshit because why would they be full on a Wednesday night and not have  a room cleaned yet? My mistake was not going to the VIP spot this time because regular had no line. On the toilet I got the call it was available. After eating I saw what was available and I got into 2-5 PLO. I’ve been doing good with it online and gave it a try. I did very well. Hand of the trip was KKQ7 single suit flopping K82 with two clubs(not my suit) and was able to get my whole 1500 stack in on flop. I cheered for no club but the club came on the turn...the deuce of clubs. I was ok with that one. Massive hand and left soon after. I went back to the lounge because they had this chicken with “New Orleans Sauce” that I liked plus the NL games looked reg filled.

My friend Sam from poker texted me and asked if he could crash in the room and I said ok. Bill Potts picked me up(he’s a great driver, professional level even) and we hung at Mohegan. He taught me this card game called Koo or Coo or whatever and it’s pretty cool once you know the rules and the strength of all the cards. Later I was gonna watch Bill play BJ but I got exhausted. Somehow Bill beat  me back to the room and legit nearly ended my life by scaring me. I wish it was recorded.

Next day I took an Uber back to Foxwoods since Bill was sleeping. 18 dollars. Hurt my heart esp since Bill said he would have driven me. Friday was awful. Lost 550 in PLO...lost another 210 in 10-20 short handed ORE...then lost 700 in 2-5 NL. This insane Indian guy pushed me all in for 480 with 10-6 suited to my AA and he won. My flopped ace helped him. At this point I could have easily went to VP to get it back...or attempt to...but not that guy anymore. I just had pad Thai from Golden Dragon and went back to PLO. Won 807 and was proud of myself. The fish left and then I took a nap. Spending an extra day at Foxwoods next week because Nov 11 is the Lindsey Stirling concert and I can’t wait for that.
