So I left for the ferry at 9am and got to the casino a little after 12. I mostly wanted to get in on the action of an $80 bounty tournament, started at 1pm; I headed straight for the poker room. I got down there and saw that the tournament registration moved upstairs. I
went back upstairs and registered (after getting my free $15 slot ticket money, which was part of the Ferry tour package) $80 buy-in, $25 a head for knocking out someone.

77 people
1st place was $1,200
6 pay outs

I go back down stairs and sign up for $1/2 NL having very little time but I didn't wanna wait around doing nothing. 5 minutes later I was seated (obviously cause its the most popular game ) I get there and the dealer said he couldn't give chips, so i went to the cage and got $150, $100 used to be the max but $300 was the new max. Don't wanna be short stacked so I went middle ground, prob should of had $200 ah well. I get $15 in $1 chips rest in $5 chips, I saw the dealer miss count so I counted them the $1 chips and he showed me they were good, I forgot to count the reds and went to sit I got to the the table and counted a few times, short $5! I told the dealer and said I had to go back up there, I said fuck it and just played cause I didn't have much time. I mean its not a lot, but its the principle.

So I play, few hands in 6 or 7ish I get 77. Don't remember postion or if I raised it, prob not few people see the flop.

Flop: 6s 7c 8c

Checked to me I bet out $15 or $20. High bet, dont want drawers. I get one caller

Turn: Ac

They check, I check

River: 6

I made a full house! He went all in, I insta called. He didn't show, and I asked him to and argued.....dealer said he didn't have to even tho I was all in (I don't remember if I went all in or called pretty sure I went all in) So total up $128. I wanted to see his flush, cause I know he had it. That's why I checked the turn, glad he checked the turn must had the nut flush. I was +$48 no mater what. So glad the river was awesome. I sit there and just fold til I bounce to the tourny.

I go back up stairs to get ready for the tourny. I win some small pots, yaddah yaddah. Had a bunch of nubs at my table, calling with bad kickers, making small bets. I dont remember alot of hands wish I had a better memory. One big hand I was 3 handed and I was trying to steal had 56s got limped

Flop: Q 6s 7

all 3 check

Turn 4s

check and I bet out 1,000

both call or one I dont remember xD

River As.

I fired out 1,500 on the river continuation bet, possible backdoor flush. Guy called with queens. I was like what!? how you make that call (in my head) I was shocked....lot of hands beat him, 2 pair, flush, set, Ace. I was short stacked, shove or fold time.

so hands later I get AK. Guy makes a raise, 2 or 3 callers idk so I shoved all in. One insta call from the original raiser, everyone else folds. I ask him if hes got a pair? and he flipped A10 DOMINATED!. I was flabbergasted by his call. I walked away from the table I couldn't watch a 3 outer beat me xD it held up! and I was back in action.

One crazy hand I wasn't involved in, crazy action raise and re-raising PF and on flop. so I put them on AA vs KK. When it didn't make sense because both were hesitating on their decisions they flip after flop 8 3 5, KK vs QQ. I knew they both had high pockets, QQ was screwed. Was bet 1,300 by KK and QQ raised 3,000 or whatever (should have just went all in...) KK went all in and then QQ called he was pot committed dumb, was too bad.

Right before the break I get 33 and 44. 33 got limped flop fail. 44 I limped and button raised I folded.....what is the flop? FOUR! I was super pissed, would have made a full house and won ton of chips. Fucking raiser xD I was going to call, I wish I called. It would have been too much of my stack to call on a two outer.

I come back from break, I think this was out of order, pretty sure, but I still had decent chips. I limp with 109s, gets raised a bit and I called.

HU flop 4 8 x

I check, guy was all in 1600 more or something. I called pot odds, he showed KK.

Turn came a flush draw

River ah well.

I became short stacked again taking a gamble, two bad plays that got me fucked. My time was prety much up, when I get 99. Pot is raised, guy is all in, I go all in and the original raiser all in 3 way all in 99 vs QJ vs A8. I'm ahead! I walk away from the table again, but the dealer did me dirty this time and put an Ace on the turn; I was fucking pissed. I screamed, "how do you go all in with A8!?!?!? fucking 3 outer" and I stormed away very angry and sad; unbelievable. Finished ~58th

At this point at least I didn't have to stay til the next day (because the bus to ferry left at 6pm) I went down and played some more $1/2 NL

before I went up to the tourny, I went back to the cage to get a color up and I told them about the $5 thing, they said they would look into it. (I went back to them during the break and they did give it to me! I was like woot! but then shortly realized without that other $5 I lost another $5 from being all in before FML haha

I sit down with $150 again, this time a table filled with youngins, GREAT. I tried to make a few plays early and lose 1/4 my stack. Raise with over cards and fail flops. Dont remember many hands, but I do remember my big winning pot hand. 84 in BB 6 to the flop limps.

Flop 4 8 J two diamonds,

I think I checked. Bet of $25, couple of callers and I reraised $30. bettor calls, everyone else folds.

Turn Ad

He bet $50 I went all in, called, I flipped and he said I got it.....didnt show his hand and 10 of hearts on the river. I don't know what he had alot of hands could beat me there...I think he might have miss read his hand but oh well, but I didnt ask him to flip cause I might have been beat. I took down the pot! and thought it was $600 for like ~20-30 mins, then recounted and it was only $300. I was excited, I was like wow up $750! haha Before this hand, alot of action was going down raising and betting after that, slowed WAY down.

Sat there and pretty much folded everything, esp thinking I was up $600 Didn't wanna lose my profits. One other hand I recount was A9 was limped. flop 7 9 x I saw there was action and looked where the button was, I was like uhhhh the button is there, I'm first to act whats going on? Guy bet $10, one called $10 I put out the $10 and the caller took it back....his money shoulda been left in the pot, I don't know why he took it back since I was betting $10 but called the other guys $10. Anywho check check turn river I showed top pair lost money, dumbasses. Oh well better than nothing. that action made no sense and it worried me.

I took down one other pot against the guy who I took with 84. He didnt show again, I dont remember the hand but got another $20 from him

At one point I had A6s and a guy went all in was $10 more to call so I did (HU). He had 1010 and it held up. Later that poor guy......had AA and was all in flop 6 6 x Guy turned over A6, fail. It was nearing my time to go and I still had a buffet ticket to use, cause it was only good for the day lame.

I cashed out at 4:30p $473 with a total investment of $1 = $323 cash game profits bounty tournament was $80 buyin, minus $25 bounty = $55, and the ferry package was $37. Left me with a total profit of $231, about $40/hr not bad considering the tournament time and also the walking around.

So I ate my victory dinner and headed to the slots to use my free $15 voucher with the package deal. I sit down and get to $20, I moved machines, down to $15, moved again a few times and ended up with $10 I said screw this.

It was about 5:30 and I had to leave for the bus by 5:50ish. I quickly went to the craps table because I didnt get to play at all all day! I see an exciting table, but it was filled, so I just jumped on another tale, perfect right before his roll! Placed my $10 on the pass line, he rolled a 5.....alright, come on 5!!!

Next roll 7.....ultimate fail.

Hope you guys enjoyed my story Had an awesome time, going by myself wasn't as bad as I thought it would be

J84...
i assumed he had AJ/QQ/KK... AA would of probably shown...

nice day i guess then?
casinos are always fun...
dont be fooled by the young gungs, their the ones making all the millions haha...

I just read in the local newspaper that the casino i go to called Gala Casino.. is 180Million in debt LOL...
closing time

One thing i gotta know though...
how can you not remember how some hands were played out >??>
i remember thousands of hands to the exact amount bet lol

AJ very possible, QQ AA, no way he woulda limped those hands from early middle position.....Plus he woulda had a set on the turn. Must have had ATLEAST a jack, and I think a flush draw, which is why I shoved on the turn. QJ, KJ possible, and one diamond. J10 woulda beat me which is a hand I feared he had but didnt realize on the river he won if he did have that lol I heard them ask him after the hand some time didn't hear what he had but some guy said he laid down two pair J 8 or something. So I got lucky I guess

I don't remember hands cause I have a terrible memory lol

I don't wanna sit with the young people cause they are the most loose and aggressive, old people don't know the game as well lol
