1, two no limit holdem, 200 dolar max buy in, winning a little bit playing an hour or two
me/kiing jack suited big blind, 1'st player under the gun, small raise, typically this player raises big with any pair, I put this is a draw hand, 4 callers...I am in position too weak to raise, I call so I can get away from the hand cheap if I don't see anything I like
flop, king, king, 3, all differant colors, I slow play, the original better bets small, obviously no king, believe it or not I put her on the three because she wants the money right there but would not bet with nothing...one caller who I am sure has a very week king to call any bet without raising
I slow play, hoping a three comes or some kind of draw to make her call the turn
the turn is a diamond for 2 diamonds, I put in 300 dollars, in case she has a diamond draw I want her to pay the wrong price...she thinks and thinks, finally calls...judging by what she is doing I am certain she has a three and 4 diamonds...one other caller, the week king
the river a diamond, she takes down the pot, ace three of diamonds, my read on her and the other player was of course, perfect
bad beat.
if I saw her cards, I want her to call, I make much more with her calling then folding even though I lose roughly one out of 4 of these hands
still, I'm steamed, leave the table to play some 20 40 stud
second hand dealt, a 4, 5,6 of hearts, no heart on the table, none of my straight cards, no 4 5 or 6.
there are very few hands I am an underdog too, obviously trips, but I am not an underdog to aces unless I catch a rag on 4th street
an ace on the table raises, a king calls, I call.
4th street I catch nice, a seven.
the ace bets, the king calls, I don't want to slow down the action if I catch a scary card so I just call.
some players try to buy a free card by raising, most of the time I'll do this if it's a timid table but in this case I want the ace to bet if I make the hand and I really don't want a free card, I want as much money in the pot as possible
5th card I catch a queen of hearts but the KING catches a king for the pair showing...I think this person does not have three kings, I think he would have re raised the ace on third street if he did,
I'm not worried about drawing dead here, I'm pretty sure if I make the straight or the flush I win the hand
6th card I catch a queen for queens, 4 hearts, open ended straight...a monster draw but a loser unless I inprove, for the king to check here means he was on a draw hand, he has 2 spades in the table and all high cards, he has a straight draw and a flush draw in my mind.
the river, I cathc three queens...the kings check blind and becuase I know he doesn't have two pair I can't bet becuase any draq he was on beats my three queens
I take down monster pot with three queens, go on to win 1500 for a 3 hour shif, this includes the 300 I lost in no limit holdem.
I gave a litle back because I think a player should never leave on a winning hand, you should wait until you lose something before you get off the table otherwise you can never have a monster shift
so, 1500 profit, my birthday is tomorrow and the casino bought me dinner at the finest restaurant of my choice, gonna drive home in about an hour
fun weekend
