Good times

Just a note, I cleared some settings on my phone so I can’t reply to comments below. I don’t want to screw around with email recovery blah blah. So Ace yeah it’s not worth it to get this card. I’m maximizing the best I can with though but once I’m done with it that’s it. Besides, there’s a new Boston casino opening soon that I need to figure out what to do with it. It’s far from me. I just hope I can show my diamond card to them and auto get slot play and room offers.

I’m really doing all I can with the International Lounge. I’m allowed to get 3 people in at one time, so before I go I ask friends if they want to go. There’s nothing wrong with harboring some good will. The food is also solid. Late night they run out of all non-Asian food so def get there around 1030pm at latest. I get two trips a day, some say more. I might try that this trip.

Poker was good. Only lost one session of NL. I just ran like garbage and I had to fold KK one time when the nittiest most face up lady of all time shoved in on me on a Q932 board for an extra 275 and I absolutely believed her. She whispered to me “set queen” and I a million percent believed her there too. I quickly went to bed after that.

PLO8 went well. Won 826. One guy just gave me money when I had A288 on a 389K board. No flush draw or anything. Badddd play. 2k pot on the turn. River 5 so I quartered him. Annoying but I guess thankful no A2 to chop. But that hand got me back. I got 3 outered to get quartered a few mins earlier. I’m the best player and I feel like I’m playing the right way against these people as a whole. I will make adjustments as I see fit.

They gave me a few months of suites at Fox Tower, starting tonight. The funny thing is that, as usual, my trips there will become funky because Penguins playoffs are starting soon. Gotta be at that bar with my friends. I will figure it out though.

Got the Diamond

So I got my Diamond Card at Foxwoods. I plan to fully enjoy this thing for the 6 months that I have it but assuredly not get it next time since I’d probably go broke reaching it. They gave me 20 free nights each in March and April. I don’t need all that so I just booked Thursday to Saturday for all those weeks. Directors Suite too. I generally have friends stay with me so the extra space will be cool.

Poker went pretty well. We played at a really strange table in plo8 this time. All the way by the wall. It’s because tournaments are going on and our usual area was taken. I played more calm and reserved this time and won 580. A guy came in and played like I did last time and got killed. So uh yeah that was just another sign that’s not how to do it. Like he took it to a new level though. Board could be 3567 and a guy only has AA and no low and he scooped it. That happened once.

I took 10% of my friend in the NL tournament. He went deep but lost. Cost me 30 dollars, but I did it again in yesterday’s O8 tournament and he cashed so it’s 106 profit I’ll collect today. He’s a solid player and I think taking 10% is a smart investment on my part. My friend from home paid me back 4700 last night. I loaned him 4000 two months ago so that was nice interest. Hold em wasn’t particularly interesting but I’d say in total I won about a grand on the trip.

Ok thats not a solid long term plan

Ok this was some baddddd plo8 by me last trip. Apparently “hyper aggro” doesn’t work all the time when it’s badly misapplied. I lost 1340 in the game! I’m still figuring out how to properly play the game, and maybe that doesn’t exist in a way that I’ve considered. Maybe only sometimes you’re the bull, sometimes the bear. Sometimes the hammer with the made hand, sometimes the nail with the draw. Be water, Bruce Lee once said. If you keep it fluid they won’t know how to react vs you or even what hands to play.

But I mean the trip was a 500 dollar win. My friend Charlene came in and had these orthopedics for my feet. They usually cost 100 but she sold them to me for 50. I have pain sometimes, probably from carrying my shit to from casino. She’s also a chiropractor and gave me a little bit of an alignment in the gym. I love the cracking of the bones. I love that and deep tissue massages more than sex no lie. She’s a good friend. I played pai gow and won 1450 with her during a plo8 break. 500 a hand, 2 hands a piece. Terrible terrible stuff. I did put myself in a spot to get a Diamond card tomorrow though since that’s triple tier day. Just not a good day. I also lost Saturday in plo high. But all gotten back in pai gow. But this is a new trip and I’ll be better. I can’t guarantee a win but I’ll play better. That’s a promise.
