I took a week off from the blog because I didn’t go to the casino last week. My girlfriend had her 10 year High School reunion on Friday and I had to go. It would look bad if I didn’t go. We were only there for a little bit. They had a good spread of food and I tried it all, but the plates were far too small. I wanted to pile it on you know?
As for the casino two weeks ago, mostly good. I won a ton in plo8, lost some in plo, got fucked in NL. My new plan of taking a 5 hour energy in the later hours Saturday worked very well. I could barely blink while people were playing badly and yawning. Of course I was up like 500 before running into utter garbage spot. I have 79 in the big, 3 way limp to me. Flop 10-8-6 two clubs. I lead for 15, he makes it 30(RETARDED), I make it 140, he goes all in for about 800. Call obv. He has top set and boats the river. The sick thing is that he made a mistake on every decision. RAISE with tens, make it BIGGER than a fucking min raise, flat my raise to 140. Those beats are the ones that really upset me. I left shortly after to go to work.
Football annoys me. I was at my girlfriends today and her dad asked me if I bet football. I said not anymore, which is the truth. He said FanDuel has a thing where for your first bet if you wager 500 and lose they’ll give you it back(to play with of course). It was Saints -7. We both went 250 on it. I did another 500 by myself later. You gotta be in NJ to bet and since I’m approaching Foxwoods now I can’t hedge it. They’re down 13-0 right now at the half because of course they are. You’ll all know how it turned by the time you read this.

I just need 5 hours of help
I feel like my decisions late Saturday night are VERY dubious at minimum. I made a ridiculous move in plo last week with top pair and NO DRAW that cost me like 800 bucks. I got most of it back but that’s not the point. I’m thinking that I need to take a 5 hour energy in that 1am-6am period before I go home on the bus. I think it’ll be great for my decisions. I usually have tea but that’s not cutting it plus I don’t need all that excess sugar. I’ll mix the 5H in with a bottle of water and drink it little by little because otherwise it makes my heart race.
Poker was pretty good last week. Finally didn’t get screwed in plo8 in any major way. I even quartered Bruce in a huge pot. That felt better than anything I can remember doing in poker. I won 1592 in 9.5 hours, then sadly the game broke. Phil is coming in today and he loves to play short so I’m expecting a long dangerous game.
PLO was shitty, but that’s ok. I know I need the 5 hour now. I actually played 2-5 NL for a bit. I might mix that in now especially when the plo looks bad. I linked raised 10-10 and a guy shoved 250 in pre with J9 off and I held up. Those guys are a treasured yet dying breed sadly. So overall I won 910 bucks between everything. Oh and I saw the fucking black guy who owes me 60. We were on the same bus. This guy has nerve. He asks me if I want to sell him my match play. JUST PAY ME MY MONEY! These fuckers I swear to God.

2 bricks determined it all
Sometimes one hand determines the whole trip. It’s kind of like BJ counting. You win some, lose some, then the count gets good and you bomb it. That’s what happened to me last trip. But I’ll get to that soon. Earlier tonight I went to Brooklyn to see my friends perform in their band. I had to leave 6 songs in because I had to make the last casino bus in flushing. It was CLOSE. Literally had to run as fast as I could to make it. I did make it, and the fucking black guy whom owes me 60 is right there. He said he “tried to text me” and he got a new phone. Then JUST TEXT ME. More lies!
I run like garbage. Another 2 spins on roulette coupon and I lose both. 5 in a row. I know that’s a fully expected run but not when the same black number hits twice in a row. It’s like it’s mocking me. After that I went to bed.
I got a lot of plo8 in Friday. That hand happened. I raised preflop in the BB to 25 after 3 limpers with Ac2x4c5x. All call. Flop Kc6c7x. X means unimportant btw. So yeah, nut low draw, nut flush draw. Open ended straight. SB checks, I bet 50. Call, call, pot. I’ve played with this guy quite a bit and auto put him on KK. I called. One other caller. Turn 10x. He shoves for 827. I call. Other guy puts his last 150 in and I brick out the river. 3k pot. Shame.
The next day we played some 3 handed plo8 and I lost like 100 bucks. I lost 460 in that 3k pot session. Solid play/luck to only be stuck 460 that session. I ended up winning like 680 in plo high so I actually won a few bucks. Back at it tomorrow.

Always changing my mind
Ahh the casino trips with the girlfriend. So very different than going by yourself, but in some ways better. It all really depends if you’re stuck or not on the times you do get to play poker. Financially, this trip sucked. Let’s get started. I screwed up before I even arrived in two ways: I left my keys at work(which has my BOX keys) and I forgot to buy 2 Asian bus tickets for GF and I so I had to use cash. I pay for her ticket and I don’t like her gambling so I use her 60 in coupons too. Split it up into 3 bets of red. All black. We get sone food and head to bed.
We go to the gym and after I look for my keys. Not there of course. Plo8 was already going(I apparently sleep well when I’m with her, even in a casino) and I was annoyed at myself. She’s awesome and asked if I wanted to borrow money. She’s sweet but she only had 500 and that wasn’t gonna cover it. I asked the box people how much to drill the box. 50 bucks. I then tried again to get a marker. I got further along than last time but I gave up when it became a hassle. Paid the 50. Lose lose lose. One time in plo8 I had trips, top kicker, and nut low draw and all he had was a bad low and a weak spade draw going into the river and he hit his high spade. Check check he scoop. A sign of my day.
Luckily, I invited the girlfriend because we got tickets to go to the casino version of Price is Right. They said if you want to go on you have to wait in line 3 hours before showtime to have a chance. We looked, line was too long, we said no. Later we go in and see you can show up 5 minutes before showtime and you can get on. It’s all random. Neither of us got picked for anything but it was fun.
After that plo8 was still going and I got virtually all my money back. I lost 521 and got 642 back. Ahead in poker but combined with the 194 of bus, box, and roulette still stuck. Cancer Bruce still alive.
Next day started out well. We got the couples massage again. This one is the Sugar and Spice Massage(something like that) and it felt really good. She really gave my legs and shoulders a good stretch. I played 1-2 because I’m the best player. I still lost. One hand I raise UTG to 10 with KK and get one caller. Flop 10-3-5 2 clubs. I have Kc. He has AJ. I bet 15...call. Turn Jc we get his last 57 in on the turn and he hits another J. Lost another flip to him with AK suited vs QQ. Not my trip. I got plo8 going with a straddle heads up and lost another couple hundred because I run like garbage. So I lost around 780 but it could be a LOT worse. Let’s get it back today.
