Played Some Pokers

After work last night, since my wife was staying the night at her friends house, I decided to stop by the casino and play a little NL poker. I started with just over 100$. My wife wont enjoy hearing this, but maybe she shouldn't be leaving me for the night to spend it with her friend!

Anyways, I started at table that was shorthanded, but luckily soon got moved to a full table. This guy was hammered. First hand I was in he raised it to 35$ preflop, at a 1/3 blind. I was thinking... geez great. I would've loved it had I had more money and a bankroll. He was definitely a live one. But, since I planned on playing pretty tight and hopefully walking away with $60 profit, it sucked. But whatever, that's poker. So, anyways, a few hands in I get QQ, utg. The guy had been raising a lot so I decided to gamble a little bit. NOw QQ is obv a good hand, but in games like this they shouldn't be overplayed. So, I decided to limp in EP and reraise the drunk guy if he raised. If not I would pretty much play cautiously after the flop since there would likely be a bunch of people in it. Sure enough 5 people limp in front of the drunk guy and like magic he reraised to 20$. Pointless reraise really, but great for me to bump it up again. I made it 60 to go, and everyone but the drunk dude prompted to fold. Flop came 874, rainbow. I had less than the pot in my stack, so i went all in after he checked. He called me.

Blank, Blank. I show my QQ, he flips over his 72 sooooooooted, and I take down a 300$ pot. Thank you sir. You know I was sweatin the whole time. I won a few other pots on the night and finished with a COOOOOLLL $305 in profit. Not bad for an hour and a half of work. That guy went through about 1200$, with only 300 max buy in each time. He was from "dallas, and the money didn't matter." Must be nice.

THere were two pretty sick hands. Guy next to me, who clearly never played in a casino before got involved in a hand. Drunkie raised pre and this guy wanted to reraise but made a string bet so they made him just call. Donk next to drunkie called as well. Flop comes 77T. Drunkie bets all in (his standard flop bet, soon to become standard preflop raise), newb calls leaving himself with just like 100$ left. Donk's eyes get real big and he starts becoming super jittery, it was interesting to watch. He says all in. Newb doesn't really know whats going on, just waiting for next card, finally realizes he only has a few chips left compared to the massive pot and says F - it and calls. Turn A, River 9. Drunkie says "Straight" and turns over J8. Donk turns over Q7 for trips, and newb shouts Ya! as he flips over AA, for Full boat. Newb gets pot, drunkie doesn't know what's going on, cuz he had a straight and that should win. Donk just shakes his head in disbelief. Newb starts mumbling about ya, I got 3 7s and Aces, whats that? Huh, What's that! He wasn't really asking, he was telling. and wrong I might add. His girl behind him is like, we're leaving right? He's like, these people never got nothing, they play trash. Their garbage. Not even considering the fact that he hit a 2 outer to win the pot.

Anyways, it was a 1000 dollar pot and yep, you guessed it, girlfriend got her wish and he was gone 3 hands later. Suprisingly people didn't say too much about it. Just a few grumbles.

Another hand between D & D (drunk and donk). Drunkie was start to raise 100$ preflop most hands. I guess Donk thought it would be wise to reraise him all in back and he would stop? IDk.. it was bizarre and really bad thinking on this guys part. But, then again his name was donk, so...

Anyways, He pushes all in and drunkie instacalls. Flop comes with K and drunkie celebrates and shows his AK, but runner runner diamonds makes donk expose his flush with his K6 of diamonds. Amazing. 300$ all in preflop with K6 versus a guy who clearly wasn't going to fold to anything. Now, okay, if you do it thinking, well I'm ahead of his range, whatever fine... wasn't that bad I guess... but I'm not giving this guy that much credit. I'd say it's more likely he was still steaming over the Q7 that he shouldn't have called 50$ preflop with a few hands before. but, Idk. So, drunkie goes on cursing spree telling the dealer who he just asked to have babies with, to stop talking to him and everyone else to shut the fuck up and play some cards. He pulls out another 300$ and pushes it all in preflop each hand. 3 hands into this I leave.

I had 300$ in profit and no intentions on risking it vs some maniac who could crack AA with 23offsuit for 300$ preflop. Yes, again, if I had the money to spare or a bankroll, I would've never left. But, these days I'll take my money and run.

It was nice and I got to relax a little bit. Even if it was 2 in the morning. The Felt felt good. I don't plan on going back soon... unless we get a GIANT disability back pay check. I just needed my fix I guess. Back to real life now.
