a coworker of mine was telling me about her church festival, saying they had gambling there and i was kinda blah blah blah but anyways i found myself bored last night so i was like what the hell and go to it. turned out to be a nice setup with 2 money wheels blackjack and good ole texas holdem. i only took like 70 bucks thinkin it would be pretty lame. anyways they had 25 dollar tournaments and 1 2 nl. i played a tournament lost then won the 2nd one and said what the hell ill play 1 2 for an hour or so. usually when i play cash live, its 5 10 nl. anyways i got an awful beat and made a way too tight laydown but still won about 200 in an hour. one interesting hand:
young kid said he was 21 looked 18, i think he just said this because he was drinking made it 12 bucks preflop everyone folds i got 10j suited in small blind and call. flop was 1053 rainbow i check he bets 12, i immediately put him on ak aq and call. turn was the jack i check hopin for the bet but he checks anyways rivers the ace. i bet 30 he makes it 70 i think for a bit and say why raise aq ak maybe he does have a10 and got me obviously i call anyways and sure enough he shows aq and i win. i really hate his raise on the river though. would anyone else be raising here? seriously what hand could i call a raise with there that he could beat? the way the hand played out, i think that aq is a call hand 100% of the time. if i had the aq i would have probably bet just a bit more on the flop because i think an identical preflop and flop bet looks like a miss every time almost, i do like his check on the turn because he has to think he has 4 sure outs and 6 decent cards to see (even though they would have been bad here). however what can i call with that he has beat there?
if i slowplay a set or 2 pair hes beat, if im bluffing i dont call anyways, i wouldnt be calling the flop with acehigh and air.
little things like this are what winning and losing in poker are all about if thats a 5 10 game thats a 200 dollar mistake not a 40 dollar one. everyone is gonna have the set vs set hands go for and against him, but i would never ever lost as much as he did on that hand. would like someone elses take on this hand.
one last thing, i was amazed at how many young kids were playing there, there was like 14 15 yr olds playing poker, even though it said must be 18 to play.
even though the stakes are low i might go back to this place again this weekend (with a real wad of cash tonight) its like almost 100%sure money, had to be the easiest game i ever saw.

o well that was a microcosm of the weekend. everytime i find one of these juicy games, same shit always happens, i get awful hands nonstop or the ppl hit and run immediately. they werent really playin long sessions there tho, and i was only there for about 10 hours, but only up 50 dollars feels like a loss, i would expect at least 500 for the weekend. at least i didnt lose that woudl have been real sick.
