Top boat no good

It’s like week 3 of being stuck in Great Cedar for 4 straight trips. This time I was able to get the non-smoking room and it still smells gross in there. It’s like an oppressive smell that lowers your enthusiasm. You get used to it but it’s not good. Anyway I got to the casino and AGAIN won my bus coupon roulette spin. That’s like 7 out of the 8 weeks I won. Did all the gym stuff. Combined with doing 2 days casino gym, 2 days of Planet Fitness, cutting out those delicious but very fattening Vanilla Chai teas from Dunkin, and overall eating better I’m in a lot better shape. I also have health insurance. Maybe I should call myself O(opposite)BC? Lol

After getting all that done I sat down at 2-5 NL. Hit all the cards and won like 746 over 4 hours and 20 minutes. I got into a tough one with Frankie Barrels where we both had aces but he had position. He put me to the test but we ended up chopping. This guy they call Santa Claus got into an argument with an old guy about the environment/global warming etc. Santa had strong facts and logic and the other guy countered with “I don’t knows, don’t care, and I’m not gonna do my part because it won’t mean anything”. Old guy was lucky there weren’t chips on the line or else he was felted quick. The game got sour so I jumped out.

I ordered my usual Chicken/Shrinp pad Thai(mild spice, the regular is pain) and took a look at River Dragons because I had time to kill. It was at like 454 of 500. I asked Bill Potts about it and he said I shouldn’t ever play slots in Indian Casinos because they don’t need to report it. Others confirmed it, but then I saw a website that said Foxwoods paid back 89.88% on penny denim slots from mid 2016 to mid 2017. But still it doesn’t mean River Dragons is fair. I still kept an eye on it periodically and when I was ready to go home Saturday morning it hit and was already grinded to 245.

Friday was pretty interesting. I went to bed early Thursday because I wanted to catch Shirley in plo8(I think she enjoys the people plus she’s a ridiculous calling station). I wanted to start the game and did but no Shirley. I ended up being in the game for 2500! Hand of the night: like 5 limpers to me and I call with QQJ2. Flop QJ4 with 2 diamonds. Checks around to a guy that bets 20, I make it 60, all folders, he calls. Turn 2 diamonds, check check. River 4. He bets 140 and I pot to 600 which is basically his stack exactly. He’s fucking debating with the dealer about how much the pot is, how many bills I have, etc. Then after ALL OF THAT, he casually turns over his quad fours. His logic was that “I got him the previous hand.” YES I HAD AA210 on a 34J5Q flop. Your stupid flush draw doesn’t mean anything on that board in plo8! So eventually, as I love to do, I wanted to get razz going. After much debate and hassle from the floor, we got 10-20 razz with a full kill at 100 going. I ended up crushing it and ended coming all the way back and winning 255 in the game. Took a little nap then went home.

Nearing Foxwoods now as I type this. I booked a massage for Thursday with the milk and honey treatment. Sometimes I like being Pampered Big Charles😌 oh and today is Day 1 of my 11 day Road Trip. Going to a Penguins game in Newark Saturday then in Pittsburgh to see Fleury come back. Girlfriend is coming with both games so that’ll be fun.

Those evil River Dragons

Really funky trip last week. I’m not sure I succumbed to weakness, boredom or what but it was interesting. I did the late night Wednesday trip after work and after winning the bus roulette spin I jumped into some PLO and won 153, then later on lost 667. Pretty standard stuff really. Game got bad so I jumped into 2-5 NL. This really pretty older girl jumped in(we ended up guessing her age and I said 34, she ended up being 38) and she was very fishy when tilting. One hand that sent her over the edge was it folded around to me and I had AQ off on the button and made it 20. She called and one other called. Flop 10JK two diamonds. All 500 of my stack got in and her KJ didn’t boat up. She eventually moved to the middle of the table and got into a giant hand with Russian Alex. He raised in EP pre with JJ and she called in LP with Q9. Flop 942 and he bombs 225 into like 80 and she shoves 300 in there and gets no help. Been running into very pretty fishy ladies lately which is the best. That ended the night.

The next day I did gym stuff and food(I’d get a Panera Card but they don’t give you much) then I walked by the river dragons slot machine. Bill Potts says the machine is rigged. It’s one of those mystery jackpot slots where the Major and Minor prizes are in the top corners. The major was at 4824 of 5000 and minor was about 445 of 500. It seems good. Prize needs to hit before it hits 5000 or 500. So I max bet as fast as I could, 8.80 a spin. I ended up moving the major 21 dollars and hitting the minor. Dave from PLO8 came around and watched me win 4100 and I got 3 W2Gs. A guy who hustles slots told me it would take 7 or 8k at 4834 to get the major. He was underballing it like crazy which I realized later.

I ended up doing well in the PLO8 game on Friday. Like 1425 over 10.5 hours. Good times. I then got into a 2-5 must move with this amazingly aggressive and obese guy that bet gigantic with anything. We even followed him to PLO. He lost his 700 dollars or so quickly as you can imagine. I ended up losing 280 between the two games but that’ll happen in games like that.

So it was late and I needed to catch the bus home at 730 AM. I wanted to see what river dragons looked like. It was steadily grinded(oh and all that play got me into the Newport Lounge, which is the better one. I like to joke that you can smoke in there but nobody ever gets it) and I waited behind this old Asian lady for like 2 hours. She did her stupid min bets and took tickets in and out then put cash in. You know how they are. She left with the major at like 4878 and minor around 240. I kept an eye on how much it takes to move the major 1 penny, and it’s 3.52(minor is like 2.36). So I jumped it.  I ran through 11k and got 8k back. These Asian ladies wanted me to stop, and I assume it’s brcause they wanted to grind that major prize. Wasn’t happening. So I did win like 1100 on it and made a shit ton of points. The problem is that 352 x 122(worst case scenario is it hits at 5k exact) is 42,944 worth of variance. Wayyyyy too high. I figured it would pay back like 90% as most slots roughly do and make it a profitable game but that’s not an accurate way to do it. I might do it again actually but it needs to be in the 4900s. I ended up hitting it at 4991 and change.

On the bus to fox now for this weeks adventure

Feeling good about life

Heading back up Foxwoods as I type this. I find it to be a good spot to write because it’s pretty quiet and you can just let your thoughts flow. So I won 5125 in like a month on Global Poker and I decided to pull my money OUT, which has to be madness to some people. I’m not even burned out. Just Globsl is missing one incredibly important thing: Heads up play. No cash, no SNG. I liked to play heads up PLO 2/4 or 3/6 and sometimes I’m doing that for a few minutes and some piece of shit wants to play and unless I have a note that he’s trash I’m gone. Guys like Bill Potts and casino refs warn me about collision too. Still I’ll take the profits and run.

As for the last trip, it was alright. The roulette spin went bad and it landed on green, which in AC means you lose just your coupons but not your money. Connecticut you lose both. Oh and I don’t play it without coupons, but you don’t get half back on green if you pick a color so this place sucks to roulette degen.

After the eating and gym routine I settled in for poker and noticed a half plo/plo8 1/2 game going and that never happens. I ended up winning 145 bucks in there over 4.5 hours. I feel I was the best player in both games(especially the plo, since the good plo guys were playing 2/5 and 5/10 already).

I then got into 2/5 plo because it looked like strangers. Was up 300 until I lost a huge pot with QJ108 two diamonds on a Q96 board. He had QQ. It was a 3 way pot and tiny stack said he had nut diamonds. Wish you hit it dude. I lost 1200 there. My notes say 30 minutes but I think I fucked that up.

After a break I played again and this one went great. This random new girl from Brooklyn showed up with tits bouncing and called a lot. She lost her first 200 in first hand with aces after nit turned straight. She got all of our phone numbers too lol. I went to bed when the game broke at 6am.

Nothing really interesting happened unti the next paragraph.



After eating I went over to 2-5 plo. Lost my ass. 1200 in 25 minutes...lost with aces after I make it 20. Goes my 20, 3 callers, old man makes it 100...I do 340 and he calls. 239 hearts and I have the ace of hearts. That didn’t go well. I took a break after that and won some cash online. After clearing my head I came back to the table and a guy gave me all his money with 2339 on a 9964 board. I had 94. Good life and that was a 1550 pot. I was briefly put into the main game but after playing my walking dead game I went to bed and left in the morning

Buried in the Snow

I’m posting this blog from home because the Chinese Bus isn’t working because of the giant snow storm on the east coast. It’s very upsetting because I wanted to get my points and use the gym and get free food in the lounge. It’s not great but as a person raised on “bad” food it fits the bill. So here’s the info from last trip...

I got off the bus and went to Panera bread. I like having a small meal there for gym energy yet won’t be weighed down. After that I checked in and apparently messed up by booking Wednesday and Thursday instead of Thursday and Friday and gave me the No Show fee. But they checked and literally pressed a button and it was fixed. The lady even first said Thursday was sold out. It just goes to show that if your play is good enough you’ll get massive favors. I don’t think I’ll get the missed points for this week but still.

So I checked in and went to the gym. Lots of people at the time, like 6. That’s a lot when there’s usually 0 or 1. Asians. I’m assuming they’re blog readers and wanted to get a glimpse of me. Who can blame them? I saw my exes friend come in exactly when I left so maybe physical fitness is on the list for the new year.

Shit started out terribly. I lost 947 bucks in one 3.5 hour session of 2-5 NL. Ugly boards, high pair over high pair, couldn’t flop much, bets getting called. Ugly. One funny incident popped up though where I was heads up with a guy and checked on the river. The guy 100% made numerous checking motions on the river and then bet 50. The dealer TOOK HIS SIDE after the guy said he was only “playing with his chips”. That’s bullshit and the floor took my side. I lost the hand. Guy then says I wouldn’t have done that if I had a big hand. Well obviously.

I took a little break and then noticed plo had a lot of strangers in it. I been playing on Global Poker quite a bit lately(none of you are getting my screen name) and feel it’s helped me out. Good little session and won 177 in an hour before the must move broke. Main game looked bad so I ran.

Played NL again and won 231 over 3 hours. I caught a few cards this time. I really wished that psycho old lady came back from previous week. I think I then purchased some eggs before bed. Going to bed hungry is the worst and I make sure not to.

Woke up, ate, gym, ate, then jumped into PLO8. I got Shirley in 2 out of 3 big pots. She got me after I 3 bet with AA46 to 110 and she flat me with Q456😂 but not so fun on the QQK flop. I C-bet small and gave up after. One guy was already all in and during the hand was already pulling out money so I knew he had babies. Whatever. Shirley then nearly walked away from table after dropping 5k in a bundle. I alerted her. I swear that woman must lose more money that way. I won like 843 over 5 hours in the game.

Ended the trip with a 260 dollar win in plo. This nice Asian girl from Arizona gave me a cough drop.
