This was a shortened trip because my girlfriend wanted me to come over Saturday to her sisters party. I didn’t really want to go, but I do love spending time with the GF. Party sucked though. Had one beer and watched Home Alone. I never really realized how terrible those parents were. Embarrassing. I also didn’t mind too much because there were no giveaways on the weekend and I was able to grab the slot play before I took the bus back. More on that later.
The trip was good. Between the bus coupon and all the free slot play I won 395. In poker I won 792 over the course of 13.5 hours. I’ll take. This trip wasn’t really about the poker though. Just ridiculous dumb shit. For instance at the 2-5 PLO8 a guy sits down, I’ve played with him a couple times at plo high but he’s an idiot at 8. Another guy sits(a good player, which is a surprise since he deals) and says HEY MOTHER FUCKER YOU OWE ME 900 FROM BORGATA. The guy denies it big time. There’s a lot of back and forth. Eventually the accused guy says ok if you can call me I’ll take that as I owe you the money and will pay you back right now. The guy says ok...but not right now since he still wants to play. Shady. He has the phone that would have his number in the car and he didn’t want to go. So we eventually convince him to go. He comes back and says he doesn’t have the charger for that phone, even though Foxwoods provides chargers. So the story doesn’t check out.
Dumb story 2 was my food coupon situation. Noodles and Fuddruckers are the only places open late night and I decided to get a burger at Fudds. I wait in line(a pretty long one), the girl takes my order and says my coupon was already used. I go to rewards and they say she already redeemed it for 56 cents. He gives me another coupon. I cut the line(obviously) and explain my situation. Fat piece of shit manager says I need to wait in line again. I say fuck off and leave. I eventually go to Noodles and get house wanton soup. The really funny thing was that i was supposed to get 80 in slot the next morning, but I got 130 instead. A bonus for my trouble? Anyway I’m heading back now. Next week will be an extended trip since I’m gonna see the Penguins play the Rangers at MSG and I’ll take the late bus afterwards.

POT, board changes completely, POT?!??
This was a pretty epic trip for me. I’ve been trying hard to finally have both a Good Friday and Saturday and it came together. Of course that always involves some luck but I felt I played well. So let’s get to it.
I got a lot of nice giveaways this trip. 220 in slot, 40 points, a crock pot, and a mystery giveaway. This is like the reason(besides the steady plo8 game) that I come here. Two free nights as well. Sadly I lost my match play coupon again and I only turn the slot into around 145 bucks. It’s fine. Black guy was on the bus. It’s very clear by now he put me on block. I texted him again today asking if I should bring the bag and he doesn’t reply so no bag. I’m sick of it. But I want my money.
After the gym we got the plo8 started. Pretty standard game until this absolute idiot jumped in. Imagine a plo8 game where a guy pots the flop, the turn brings like the WHEEL and a flush and he pots it again! It’s utter madness! He ended up losing a legit 5k in the game and I ended winning 1807 on the session. He actually won the last hand he played because there were 5 people in there for 20 and I’m OOP with A397 and the flop comes 6810 two diamonds. I pot it. He calls. Some shorties were in there with like nut flush draw and whatever and so was this guy. He had 10-9-xx and hit running 10-9. He left shortly after and the game broke. I’m praying that hand is all he remembers and he comes back. Larry won 2300 in the game and he and I both started stuck pretty big. He gave me back 200 of the 400 owed.
Hold em Saturday was pretty good. You gotta be a ninja and jump around to good tables in hold em nowadays. I do that. Even if I’m enjoying the conversation at the game I get out if the table is too strong. One VERY notable thing is this one player legit made it 30 96% of the time(he once folded his big preflop in an unraised pot for uhhh balance lol). I was in the 8 seat and he was in the 2. Complicated seat for sure. It’s certainly not standard poker anymore. I got a nice bit off him before he went broke. He went to 1-2 later and I followed him. I thought he might make it 12 every hand but no luck. He lost 300 and ran. So I ended up winning 3k in poker this trip.

Player break, dealer 21, player break
I’m just this huge cooler that I have to assume people will come to hate. Tony hates people who do this, but one of my favorite things to do in casinos is watch people bet big. 500 a hand at least. So when poker is looking bad I like going into the high limit room to see what’s up. I watched a shoe where a guy was betting 800 a hand and I think him lose every time. He said he was superstitious and asked me to go. I said yes. I always feel like that’ll happen when I watch. I mean these people aren’t counting, just flat betting huge so obviously they’re trying to get lucky. I’m unlucky. Later a lesbian couple comes in and gets absolutely destroyed. Had to go in pocket twice and then got a marker. After that they inquired about a private table. Apparently in Foxwoods a private table means you can’t even watch a person play, because earlier I was shooed away by a pit boss. The final hilarious moment was when I saw this Spanish PLO reg betting 3 hands for 100 each and got killed. He also asked me to leave. I should get free slot play for all this.
I made a lot of money in Foxwoods last week. Overall over 1800, but I was very upset with my plo8 play. I was up 1800 and ended up merely 80. I made a questionable call to a big shove and got scooped. I also lost a lot 3 handed. Called too much. I’m telling you, plo8 short handed is a different beast than NL and PLO. There’s a lot of “flexibility” as I like to call it and you need flexible cards. You also can’t EVER expect people to make “good folds” to you. So you just need to have better cards. If it means you need to get those blinds stolen, they get stolen. Oh and you do NOT necessarily need an ace short handed, but it sure is nice. But I’m very excited to play tomorrow.
Saturday is usually my shitty day, but not this time. I won in weird ways. Big draws that were up against smaller draws that missed, so I win with ace high. Me getting there on a bluff that was called light. All that crap. At one point I considered leaving at 9pm because the game was slow but it wouldn’t work out with the bus in Queens that takes me home. There’s a dead period and if the bus was late I’d have to wait out in the cold for an hour. Eventually I left NL and slipped into plo. I turned 200 into 550 and got the hell out. My JQKK with K suit hit quads.
I ran into the black guy again and he PROMISED he would be there next week and wanted me to bring the bag. I said ok. I tried to confirm today and he didn’t reply. So I see him on this exact bus and he asks for the bag. HE DIDNT REPLY SO NO BAG. He then shows me I didn’t text him. I showed him I did. Obv he blocked me. Suddenly he replies. What a fucking piece of shit

Give me a break
Lots of work drama going on lately. The other day I had an issue with a co-worker that wanted me to do mindless busy work just I can “do my part” like everyone else. This work would then need to be “reversed” after aka making that work worthless. I’m being vague here because I don’t want to tell you all my civilian job. So anyway I of course refused. She called my mother crazy(I sadly agreed), me a shitty worker that nobody wants to work with, and that I don’t contribute to society. This is all bullshit from her of course. So today I heard her go off on another worker(not in earshot) about her being an “angry person”. So I shut her down quick. She got pissed. Cunt.
Poker was ok last week, but it took a lot of work. Like we got the usual 2-5 plo8 going and check out this ridiculous hand that I lost. I made it 25 and got one caller holding 995J(I know) and the flop comes 983 two clubs one spade. I had low draw, ace, open ended straight draw, nut flush draw, backdoor nut flush draw. What comes out? Two red picture cards. Pretty incredible. I was stuck 1k at one point. Luckily towards the end of the night we made it into a 5-10 and I ended up winning 500. Thank God.
Looking at the stats I had a few ups and downs in hold em and plo. I did win 739 in hold em and lost 600 in plo. Those 3 plo bullets towards the end of the trip were painful. I’m back into stocks but I lost a lot on them lately. I’m getting out of it as soon as I possibly can. Stick to poker and all my other side ventures. Stocks too complicated and I’m not too smart about that stuff. With poker I ended winning like 1k. Bill Potts says that pretty much clockwork for me so I’ll take that.
