This was the longest trip I had at Foxwoods. Not intentionally, but when you get sick and don’t want to infect your girlfriend and co-workers you’ll gladly play more poker and risk infecting them. Casino is gamble anyway so they gotta take the risks!
Hold em was good. I def did win but there were some low points. First hand of 2-5 I flop a set of rights on a Q84 two spade board and I’m up against an overpair(I think) and gutter straight flush draw. Straight hits. I also played like 22 hours of plo8 and ended up losing 550. I was playing a lot of 5-10 heads up sometimes with a straddle(I always did, he did sometimes) and I pretty much broke even vs him. My feeling like shit didn’t help but I really want to get him heads up again. I’ve come up with a solid strategy that I intend to employ. I did win 2095 plus points and upstairs giveaways. My eye was just so bad though. Luckily it’s better now and my cough is mostly better. I probably had a fever too. Whatever. Sunday was s good one so it was a profitable pinkeye.

333...333...333...but not when i need it
Those who have read the blog a long while(or caught up) know that I’m the house when it comes to my fathers lottery, specially the pick 3 game in NY. He plays 8 bucks a day, which is 4 on the midday and 4 evening. He plays 213 for 6 bucks and 333 for 2 bucks. 213 wins him 1500 and 333 500. I have a 50% house edge on this transaction. Well in the last month the 333 hit 3 times. 1500 lost. He hit 213 and 333 last year so I think I’m stuck a couple hundred on it overall.
I made money betting basketball on the Bucks over the Pistons in the 1st round of the playoffs. 500 on them going up 3-0 and like 2400 on them sweeping. I hedged on game 4 to lock up 2k or at worst win 190. Bucks won by like 25 that game but it was a pro decision. The Jeopardy guy that’s killing everyone would agree I’d think. I got some NHL playoff action going still. I’d love if the Islanders, Blues, and Sharks get to the third round. Love if Blues won the Cup specifically.
Poker was good last week. Won around 2k, but I lost a 3k pot in plo8. Here’s the action. I’m in the BB with 101056DS. A poor hand unless it flops amazing. But I was in the BB and there was 6 way action to 25, so I think I need to speculate with my massive near 3k stack. Flop comes 1034, two clubs(not my suits). SB checks, I check(I was intending to check raise huge here...and I did...but this is a game where you can make an argument to just check call. But I think that’s a mistake. In fact I’m sure if it.) There was also an idiot who pots the flop no matter what, and he did in MP. The Professor calls his last 70 bucks in there, and a smart reg calls the 175 pot bet too. Nobody else calls and it comes back to me, I pot it to 945. Idiot folds, smart reg calls(he has a PLO high background so he absolutely is ok with getting truck loads of money in with draws). Reg has 408 behind after he calls. Boom 6 of clubs right away. I check, reg shoves his last 408, I call to try to boat up and a 5 comes. So dead. Professor actually had nut clubs and A2 so he got a good chunk of it. Reg had A25 and bad clubs. He had a lot, but if you think of the action a lot of his outs are dead. The A56 were the worst cards for me, and so many of those were dead. Any course of action that I did can be second guessed, but the overriding factor for me is that I made a huge raise and could get the reg with 1383 behind to fold. If he folds I’m ok. It’s a big raise.
The next day I probably lost 85 bucks in hold em and amazingly I got plo8 called after the 2-5 NL MM broke. They almost called it as a joke. But it did go! One guy was a total fool and ran through 2500 in 3 hours. I won 830 in that game. I had Led Zepplin tix that I didn’t use because he was so bad. If it was Lindsey Stirling I’d go see it but not for a band I’m not a fan of. Nearing Fox now for this weeks adventure.

Well that didnt last long
Hockey was pretty ugly these playoffs. Penguins got swept by the Islanders, and since I was at the Penguin Bar for game 3(a Friday), I missed plo8. Comically I’m the one who always pushes to play 5-10 and of course when I’m not there they get 5-10 going. Is it because they are afraid to play 5-10 with me? It’s possible. I guess that’s flattering but fuck flattering I want less rake and bigger pots.
Poker has been pretty decent lately. Standard. Been playing well. My neck hurts a little bit again, which is odd because I’ve been holding my gym bag better. But sadly I’ve been so busy with everything that I haven’t did the gym much lately. Fucking black people near the bar are always asking me to buy them food at the food cart. Wtf do I look? It’s been a problem for years. If I’m not buying you chicken rice when I’m celebrating a Stanley Cup win I’m not buying you anything when we lose every night.

Eddie Moneys daughter is hot
So it seems everyone I spoke to knew spot on that girl got screwed on the bad beat. Bill Potts doesn’t believe her story. I do for two reasons: 1- She was 100% positive it was the king of diamonds. Not just a picture diamond. 2- She remembered the dealer said they no LONGER shared the 8 of diamonds, meaning they once did so her board memory was correct. Just so sick. Maybe I’ll see her again. She looks good.
Poker has been pretty decent lately. 2 weeks ago I only one 30 bucks, but last week won over 1800. It almost counts as more since the girlfriend went with me and saw some wins. That goes a long way I think. We never got the plo8 going last week. Larry was in Vegas(where apparently he got it all in the flop with AA on a A93 rainbow board vs 95(deep stacked) and a lady called him down 3 streets with 33 on a 10JQK4 board. I ponder why he left), two guys didn’t show, one was in a soft home game. I expected it. Whatever though playing the NL allowed me to do shorter sessions and hang with the GF and have fun).
I went over to Top Golf over in Fox Tower and beat the Ms Pacman top score of 121k. I now have 128k. I could have gotten it earlier but I didn’t realize that the power pellets do virtually nothing after the second junior screen. There was a 5k banana on the right side but I hung out on the left with a pellet waiting for the ghosts. I felt robbed when I died there. But no PACMAN TILT(obv the worst tilt of all) and I took it down the next day. Hopefully I’m still the champ. Hopefully the bitch waitress doesn’t interrupt me this time when I’m playing.
We saw Eddie Money and Joan Jett combo show. Awesome seats. Joan was great. Eddie was alright. But Eddies daughter Jesse was incredible. Awesome body, amazing tits, everything. I looked her up and while I could never find her in anything too revealing, you’ll see good stuff on google images.

No hundred grand for you, lady
I’m behind one blog. I usually like doing them when I’m on the bus going to Foxwoods, but I went with the girlfriend last trip and I really didn’t want to do it then. Very few people knew my real identity who read this. Literally two of you and you both know who you are. But this is blog is just gonna be a rant against both Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. I’ll do another blog Thursday discussing the poker etc of the last two trips.
So Mohegan Sun has a new poker room. It looks alright. It’s bigger then it used to be. There’s a Johnny Rockets on one side and a bar on the other. It seems like a more “casual” spot than Foxwoods for poker, aka more soft. But of course you need to know the faces, and I don’t know anyone in there. My friend Sam drives and considering I was pretty break even at the time and I did want to see the new room, I went. I lost money, but whatever. My issue with this place is with the dealers. One guy, whom I found out his name is Clint, talked about how much faster he deals than Foxwoods dealers. He proceeded to expose a card three straight hands. Good job with that speed. Another dealer, some small Spanish girl, just doesn’t give a shit. I shoved big one hand and one guy folds and the other is showing his cards to his buddy getting reactions. I had to say one to a hand. Then the dealer, in a very unenthusiastic manner, said that too. Then he said something to his friend and then told me he didn’t say anything. Thank god he folded because I shoved J8 on a 10-9-3 board and the first guy folded QQ lol
Oh Foxwoods isn’t clear either. But it could be different nowadays. I was playing a session and this girl I’ve never seen before told us this bad beat story. Get this one. She has 67 diamonds. Flop 8910 diamonds. Opponent JQ diamonds. Turn K diamonds. River blank. Money goes in. Bad beat right? Wrong. Apparently, as everyone was celebrating, said because the K made the 8 not play for both of them, it negates the bad beat. No shit. He fucked that table out of a 200k bad beat. She would have gotten 100k. It was a 1/2 game and she was new to poker and just believed it. Nobody else at that table had any clue and just accepted it. She was wearing a sexy miniskirt the next day btw.

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.
