So I went to AC for Borgata's Poker Open, and I had a decent time. Got to hang out with an old friend and meet up with a friend from online who i've known a while. The tournaments were not very successful.

Recap: The $2,500 tourney we got 15k to start with and hour blinds. The levels accelerated slowly then they doubled from 100-200 to 200-400 with antes which sucked. They need to add 150-300 or something. Anyways, I made it to 400-800 and had a 20k stack when this hand happened. Im sb with QJdd, button retard opens for 2200, i call bb folds. Now to give some history, the button is awful. He has poker tattoos and says poker is his life...but he's awful. was consistently making it 4k to go at 200-400 with a 9k stack and was calling a preflop raise and open jamming into the raiser on QT8 boards with 66 or AK3 board with 99. It was very confusing.

So anyways, i call in the sb and the flop comes down KJ3 rainbow. I check to him and he fires out 7k which is standard for him. I was going to check shove but i figured he's bad enough to try and bluff the turn when i call so i call. turn is a brick, he shoves just like i expected and i called with QJ and he flipped KJ for top 2 GG main event.

In the 500 I just got blinded down and shoved/lost.

Cash games were fairly brutal I got it all in with AA twice in reraised pots and ran into sets on the lowest boards. Also got it in with KK in a reraised pots when i was reraised by 55 and he flopped quads.

Well actually the KK hand was kind of funny bc he RR pre and i just called in pos. flop 955 he checked i bet he called, he checked J turn i bet 500 he called, river 9 i still have 1k behind and he fires out 500 like an idiot, im obviously calling 1k if im calling 500. So he cost himself 500 there.

I managed to grind back that 4500 in losses at 5/10 in my next session when I got a couple of my big hands paid off and hit trips vs two pair on K high flop with AK.

So total tally for the trip is down 3k from tourney buy ins, but that was no problem as yesterday I managed to bink 4th in the sunday night 100r for 16k or so.

Nice to come home to a good score like that.

ttyl blog and hopefully i can bink one of these wcoop's soon.

teach me lol

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time
