The
I got a good nights rest, the day before and was pretty hyped to get there ( I actually had trouble sleeping for a couple hours because I was thinking to much. I got myself out of bed and made sure Paul was up, and he decided to just take me to the Park, and my bro would drive to work with Wolf. Just as we arrived at the Park, Paul gets a call from my brother saying his car won’t start so poor Paul had to go back to the hotel to pick those cats up and then go to work. But enough about them, lets get to the casino.
The place was pretty dead since it was 6:30am, but as long as there’s a table for me to play on I don’t care. I wanted to have a little breakfast first so I got me my favorite breakfast meal, 2 eggs, 2 toast, 4 pieces of bacon and a glass of OJ. I have a whole system for eating the meal, but I won’t get into that. I gave the service lady a generous of enough tip that she said it made her start of the day.
I put my name up on the board for the 2/4 and got called before I could even check the coat I borrowed from Paul. After I got back and sat in my seat, I took a hundo in chips an started my day off. I doubled up pretty quickly, but then caught some bad luck on a couple big pots that were capped. One had I had the nut flush and this guy hit his out on the river and gave him a full house.
The hand that really got me was when I was in mid position and had a pocket pair of deuces, and this guy that bought in with 20 and looked like Coolio, capped it preflop and I was heads up with d00d. The flop came 2,3,3 rainbow, and I flopped a full house. The turn was a 6 and we capped it with 4 bets. I put him on a set of 3’s by now and the river came a 7. For some reason he slowed down and just checked and I bet 4 and he called.
I flip over my 2’s and he flips over 7,3! I felt like going to the bathroom to go and throw up. He was trying to buy the pot preflop and thought I was just bluffing for some reason, prolly because I was winning alot of hands, while he was at the table. My bankroll went all the way down to 40 bones at one time, but I managed to hang on and kept on rolling.
When I first sat at the table there was this guy by the name of Aaron that sat next to me. He had been playing for more than 20 hours and still playing. He pretty much made the day go by just talking about poker among other things. One time this old d00d sitting next to Aaron, actually said, “ jesus Christ, will shut up for a second my hurting my ears!” Aaron replied back.. “ don’t say the lords name in vain”. After that I had to brake the ice because it was getting serious after that and the whole table was having fun before that.
Aaron stay there as long as I did,(27hours around) and he lost about 300 hundo while I was sitting at the table with him. He told me that he didn’t care if he won, he just played to see if he could stay up as long as he could and still do it. That’s not really the plan I would really go for, because if your tired, you will just make errors that you normally wouldn’t do, and it wouldn’t just stop after a couple of errors, which would mean more and more money lost on just trying to hit any 2 cards you have. You will start thinking that you have to play until you are even, but I learned that if you just stop playing while you are at a loss; you are already even in money. Just wait until the next day and start off fresh.
I played at that same table for 10 hours and it went by just like a snap of the fingers. At the end of the day I had 9 stacks of 40 sitting next to me and that was definately intimidating my opponents that were at my table. I walked out of there with 4 racks (360 bones) and a big grin on my face. The plan was a success, and I think I could grind this out just like I did every single day I play!
So Wolf and the Paul and my brother are off for the week for Thanksgiving and coming back on Sunday. I’ll be coming back with them as well, and I’ll be going to my job at the tables while they go do there job. Paul is nice enough to hook me up with a ride to the Park as long as I give him gas money, but of coarse that’s fine with me. I’ll even include brakefast, shit!
This is a great opportunity for me since I can’t get out of the house and go to the tables whenever I want and there isn’t a card club where I leave either so, this is the perfect for me to test out my limit holdem skills to the fullest. And I definitely need some more knowledge in the game, so I’ll be getting my SS2, and my Limit Holdem resources that I have never touched until now. It really sucks that they don’t have No Limit, but I don’t play so hot when it comes to No Limit cash games anyway. I think I see my future already. Me playing Limit Holdem for Cash Games and me Playing NLHE for the tournaments. Usually people play limit before no limit when they learn the game, but I guess I’m doing the vice-versa approach to it.
I never really was a big fan of the Limit but I’m starting to like it. I don’t think I would ever play it at any home game still, but as for the live play I’m down for it for now. We’ll see how it all goes in a couple of weeks.
