Sorry I have been remiss in posting my blogs. No matter, it appears I have no followers anyway so I am just amusing myself. I was recently playing at Hollywood Casino. I was doing poorly, getting no hands, or hands that were second best and I was not playing all that well either. I had lost most of my first buy in and decided to add another half buy in. "If I lose this I'm going home." I told myself. I generally only like to lose 1 and 1/2 buy ins. I figure either my luck is bad or it's me and I should go home before I lose more. This is a $1-2 game
Ok, so I am one off the button with K7 of spades. Three people have limped in, including a guy I know from home games called E.P. The button makes it $10 to go. Everyone calls so I, of course, call as well. The flop is 6,8,9 rainbow. Everyone checks to me. I figure the button probably has high cards and a bet of $30 should get me the pot unless someone is slowplaying. If they are I have outs. The button folds and Frank and E.P. call me. The turn is the 9 of spades. So, I now have a flush draw to go with my open-ended straight draw. Both players check to me so I shove all in for about $76. Frank immediately folds. E.P. says "I think I'm good here, I think you are on a draw." He decides to call. I'm thinking "Oh shit, come on dealer give me something!" The river is the Q of hearts. My heart sinks as E.P. waits for me to turn my cards over. "I just have K high." I say as I turn over my cards. E.P. says "I have a six... Oh wait, no I don't." and he turns over J4! I win a $250 pot with K high! Woo Hoo! I went on from there winning more pots and cashing out for triple my 1 and a half buy in! Wow, what a game!
