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
