I decided yesterday to play this tourney rather than the WSOP $5K because I knew the players would be much more weak here. I feel that I'll have an advantage over the average player here compared to the ones at the Rio and... who am I kidding? I don't have the bank roll to play a $5K.
I'm slum'n it at the Venetian.
Table 81... holy shit! Table 81! I'm almost in the sports book. Seat 5.
Table draw:
Seat 1: RWG that is either homeless or he had a really long night.
Seat 2: RWG and that's all I'm gonna say about him.
Seat 3: Alan Smurfit. Wait, what? Does this guy own shipyards in Ireland? And a casino or 2?
Seat 4: ROWG
Seat 5: The hero with a heart of gold, JDN
Seat 6: ROWG with a lot of tells. It's awesome. I've called out his hand twice.
Seat 7: RAG, the hungover Filipino.
Seat 8: Rocker Dude. Looks like he shops at Hot Topic.
Seat 9: ROWG
Seat 10: RWG with an arm sock and peeling skin. Possibly a leper.
After an under the gun min raise and a call, I look down at KK and raise to 1500. The hungover Filipino calls as does the original raiser. The flop is A high, as if there was ever a doubt, and we check it to the river when Mr Hangover decides to bet 5K. Wha....
OG raiser folds and I fold my KK face up. Blah.
A little later on, The Leper in seat 10 limps under the gun. I raise to 700 with QQ and the big blind calls before The Leper reraise to 5K. Yes 5K.
Well there's only one hand he could have there. Right? Wrong.
I fold pretty quickly and the big blind moves in. Holy moley. The Leper quickly calls and shows KK. Big blind shows AK. Wow. Those are a couple of amazing plays.
A king flops and the ROWG in seat 9 is busto.
A couple of hands before the first break the Rocker Dude raise to 700 in early position. I look down at JJ in the big blind and merely call. Bad move.
I'll spare myself from recounting the whole hand but he got it all in on the river with the board reading 7 8 Q 7 6. He showed 88. Damn it Beavis!!
5750 at break.
To ease my pain I place a bet on tonight's MMA fight. Of course I pick the underdog that needs to suck out to win and play a little video poker. Up $25 and I head back to the tourney.
Alan Smurfit has pulled out his WSOP bracelet and is showing it to his neighbors. Tacky!
Then it's double up time!! My KK vs Rocker Dude's QQ. I'm up to 13,725 before I lose 4200 with JJ vs The Leper's AA.
Around 9000 going into the 200/400 level.
The homeless guy in seat 1 raises to 1K under the gun and I call with two red 7s. The Hungover Filapino calls too.
The flop falls, 5h 9h 2d. Check check to me and I bet 2500. Mr Hangover calls and the Homeless guy folds. The turn is the 8d. Hangover checks to me and I bet 4k. He askes me how much more I have. I count out 4200. He thinks about it for a minute before announcing 4200.
What?
He threw out 5200. What? Again. I guess he was trying to raise but could not count or verbalize it. So its a call.
The river is a Qc. He moves in for 4700. Really? Fuck. I know he's an idiot. He could have anything and he was trying to check raise the turn. If he can actually execute a check raise there I can call because I have the gutshot straight draw too. But in this position, I'd be calling with 3 overs on the board and a moron all in.
I have 10 big blinds left and that means fold equity. Fuck. I fold and he shows Ad 5d. BAh!!!!
I hate and love these idiots at this same time.
A few hands later the leper raises it up and the new RAG in seat 3 reraises to 4100. I look down at 7c 8c. I have exactly 4100 left. I put it in expecting to get heads up with the RAG and I figure I gotta have two live cards and hopefully my suit is live.
Then the leper calls. The flop is 7 Q 5. Check check. I'm definately ahead at this point. The turn is an A. Fuck. Leper bets into a dry side pot, and the RAG calls.
I need a 7 or an 8 to win these hand.
The river is a 6.
The leper says he has K high and the RAG turns over AJ off. WHAT THE FUCK?!!
So I just saw a reraise with AJ and a bet into a dry side pot with K high.
Fuck this place, I'm outta here.
