So today was my buddy's 18th birthday and he wanted someone to go to the casino with him so we got a few people rounded up drank some and headed to the casino after baseball practice. I was planning on just blowing 40 bucks or so on the slots but the casino we went to has running poker tables at all hours of the day so I headed upstairs to the cardroom and found out they had a 3/6L, 1/2NL and .25/.50 "budget" Limit game running. I signed up for the 1/2 and the budget game and about 10 minutes or so later i got called up for the 1/2 nl game.

I bought in for $200 and the very first hand I got dealt KK, I literally checked my cards 25 times in disbelief and I was nervous as hell. I was UTG and raised to 8 pf and got called by the BB. Flop was AK8, he checked to me and I bet 12, he folded. T_T perfect flop for kk.

didnt play very many hands for the next while, found myself in a huge limped pot with T8s and limped in on the button. Flop came T75 uncoordinated. I bet like 15 into a pot of 20 and got called by one guy, I put him on a 7 or 5, he looked pretty unconfident. Turn came a 4, he checked and I bet 25, he went into the tank for a bit and called, at this point I had him on some type of a draw, I couldn't really puth im on anything at all. River was a 6 giving me 2nd nut straight and im pretty confident the nuts, he checked and I bet 35 hoping for a crying call from whatever he had, he called, showed 33, i showed my 8 and took down a nice pot.

him 34567
me 45678

those were essentially my only two hands worthy of discussing, the players there were terrible and I had 0 room to make any type of plays, pretty much I would compare the skill in the room to a NL10 table. I plan on going back there a lot especially when i start my job and can completely afford to play and not necessarilly play like a nit like I did. All in all I think most of the people there think I was a retard and I tried to act like a clueless fish the best I could which is pretty good for my metagame. I hope I can go back this saturday.

start: $200
end: $275 + $15 in blackjack winnings.
