I will blog more but a quick update, it was a hard night. A lot of fish playing every hand but i missed all my draws and couldnt take advantage of my table.
Over all night + $25 only, i was up 140 at one point but one big loss drove me back down.
Ok i am back To talk about the evening. Pretty much when i got to Cap i was one of two asians. I didnt recognize any of the players so i thought maybe i loosen up my range and make it look like a typical donk. Why that didnt go to well because when i limp in everyone limp in and when i wasnt in a hand no one really played and when i raised everyone folded. So i decided forget this i am playing to many wide range and go back to normal superdonk poker playing.
Which seem like a good time too because i had to do a rebuy and three asian fish joined my table from a broken table. Well they played every hand and never folded. I saw them go from a rack to maybe 3 rack each. While i sat there folding or missing my draws and missing all my flops with preflop raise.
I finally get a big hand against a Asian momma that didn't like me to much for some reason. I'm under the gun with kk on a kill pot. I limp and i see two player limp in also when it get to momma on the big blind. She raises and i go bing!!! Back to me and i 3 bet and the other two callers also calls and momma caps it. Flop comes k98 with 2 clubs. Momma bets out and normally with two player behind me i may just call and raise the turn but with two clubs and a possible straight draw i didn't like it too much. So i raised. The player to my right was about to call but decided to muck her hand because of my raise and the other player throws away too. Mamma calls. Turn com and its a 9 so i have my boat. Momma check i bet she call. River was a blank she check i bet she calls and i show my boat and she shows he pocket aces. Aces crack sorry.
Other than that hand all my other hands were standard plays. I missed alot of draws and my raises meant nothing to the fishes as they all called and i completely whiffed the flop and turn. I decided to leave when two of the big fish racked up and left.
Oh one hand i wanted to say was Sam the ugly dealer was dealing and he did a funky throw to me where the card just flipped and it was a 8 of club and i looked at the other card it was a 8spade. I was like great. On the button and i could have gotten pocket 88. I get a 3 instead and i throw my cards away. Well you know where i am going here. Guess what come on the flop. Yup not one but both red 88 came out. Quads could have been all me but either way it wasn't high hand and who know maybe i wouldn't have gotten any action at all against the fish...... Yeah right..... I was erked to no end.

Capital Casino October 30th.
Well its been a while since i walked into Cap and now i am sporting some glasses that will help me see the board finally. Well I pretty much nothing has changed but i was hoping players wouldnt recongize me because its starting to feel that they know i am actually a pretty sold player not one of those typical asian that play every hand. But that didnt work because some of the regulars recongnized me and kind of kill my action. But oh well i am perfectly happy stealing blinds all night.
Ok so with this blog I'm not going to talk about standard plays just ones that i thought was interesting or the one i know i played wrong and just wanted to talk it out. So with that said...... I walked into cap and i was sent to the paigow room for the 4/8 game. No 6/12 which sucks. So as i sit down a the lady on seat 4 want to move to seat 5 the middle spot which i was glad to give her. So the very first hand i get delt with i see pocket kings. I was like weeeeee here we go. Seat one limps seat 3 limps i raised a couple callers and seat one reraised. oh oh is this the ol limp and reraise if the some one raised per flop? Well it comes back to me and i cap it and it becomes 3 to the flop. The flop comes j93 and seat one bets and i raised and he calls and we are heads up. the turn was a 4 and he check i bet he calls. River was 9 which i think is harmless, so he checks i bet he calls and i show my kings and he shows pocket AA. whoops! first hand and i get slaughtered . Well not really since i think i lost the min on this. but all this tells me is welcome back superdonk! Your back at capital casino again!
The other had i want to talk about is J9spades on the BB and its a kill pot. This was about the 4th kill pot for the night but i notice when ever its a kill pot everyone limped in and to see a flop. Well to me this is a good hand i also called so its a family pot and the flop comes 10s 7s 5 s. BOOM i flops the flush and really a gutty to a straight flush. Sb checks i bet and i get a couple callers and the sb called also. The turn comes a red 10. pairing the board. Sb bets and i raised trying to see where i am at on this hand. And the two other callers folded but the sb called and now we are heads up. The river was a red 7. Great not if he had a 10 he made a boat or even if he had a 7 he still has a boat. All i am beating right now is a bluff. Sb bets and i tank for like a min. The pots huge but man there is nothing I can beat! Pot size says call but its a kill and its 16 more to me and i just don't see anything i am beating so i laid it down. Then he preceded to show his hand and he had 52 off suit for a pair of 5 but pretty much it means he was playing the board with a 5 kicker. I was shelled shocked. He made me lay down the flush and he had nothing but a bluff. Pretty mush this guy caught the perfect two cards that made my lay down the winner. And that was pair the board on the turn and pairing the other card on the river. I am not saying he played it perfect because it comes down to his horrible flop call with bottom pair with out a flush draw. But i was amazed the way he did played it and it worked out for him. Nice hand nice hand.
So pretty much for the evening i cashed out $370 for the night. Not a bad way to come back to poker.

Where have I been again?
Well as you can see, its been a while since i last blogged. Well it pretty much come down to if i am not playing I am not blogging. As you can see fron the date of the last blog its been a good 4 months since i have played poker. Its actually a very good feeling too. It was a nice little break and in between that time I have been working, traveling to New York and Chicago. Maybe i will post some pics of the trip and maybe i wont. Now that i have said that. What made me decide to go play again since i went cold turkey and turn off poker for all that time? I'm not really sure myself maybe i felt a little happy and I felt maybe a little luck was on my side to go play. Meaning i hanged out with a person I like alot and i felt all happy and giddy which made me want to play. Well with that said time to blog about some poker!

Capital Casino 6/20
Just a quick trip report because I still have to blog about my Vegas trip. But i went on God mode finally. It was pretty sick. Maybe it was just the seat or it was the perfect table. Because there was alot of players to the flop and my hands were holding. I dodge all the outs people were drawing to. It was quite sickening. Also the best part is Ace crack is back for the spin. People are gambling more with any suited connector cards because the big Jackpot is at 100,000. So they are seeing more players now that are just there to try to hit Jackpot. Pots were huge people wouldn't lay down hands, Twice i saw straight flush hit and people were not laying down 3rd best flushes to a raise reraise and cap on the river no less. That just made it a great table if your holding the nuts.I will post pics of my stack a little later plus some basic hand history.
4/8kill = +59 (3 hours)
6/12 = + 1160 (2 hours)
Total of + 1219 for about 5 hours of play.
After my first 3 hands won.
After a couple more hands won.
When i was all done racking up. Would have had a complete 7th rack if we didnt decide to mess around for the last hand.

Vegas Day Three & Four Saturday and Sunday
THis is going to be a combine trip report because I getting tired.
Woke up and had Buffet at the Mirage with May and Jwong. It was actually pretty good. I would rank this as one of the better buffets. Afterwards played some 10/20 and still lost. Played some 4/8 and lost at the Vienitian and the Beligio.
Sat poker lost may be summed up to a total of 4-500 for the day.
Sun I decided to just stick to 4/8 and we went to the wynn to play. That when every thing came together. I ended out cashing out for about 440 on the 4/8 game
.
Afterwards We played some 27 hammer game at the mirage which i made another 240 at the table.
so sunday 4/8 game came out to be about +700 day.
I will post hand history later its getting late.
Vegas Day Two Friday.
Woke up by a phone call by May telling me they were going to eat at BLT for lunch. I had a awesome Kobe burger with a fried egg on it. Yum Yum. Afterwards I checked out the 10/20 game at the Mirage. I thought I saw a good table to sit in and i sat down to the worst beats I can run into.
Quick hand history
aa loses to 67. flop was q 6 2 turn 9 river 7. He stuck around to catch two pairs on me what a soul read he said he put me on AK
Next big hand was AK loss to q10, 4 to the flop after i raise on the button. flop come k 8 2 Check to me i bet all called. Turn was 9 check to me i bet all called. river J person bets into me fold fold and i made the call. He showed his runner runner straight. Awesome.
After a few more orbits I was down close to 400 and I decided to get out of the table. I played for about 3 hours and was either card dead or just couldn't hold with any big hands. I left and decided to join Nick and the rest of the crew at Beligio. When I got there they were all ready to leave to go eat somewhere. So we went to Trevi a good pasta place to eat. Love the food there.
Afterwards we went to Mirage poker room and I sat down on another 10/20 session and the guys were planning to start a horse game at 10pm.
Drop another 200 on the 10/20 game Just ran bad.
Cant really remember much hand now but it was pretty standard plays by me and i didn't run good. left the game when I saw it was getting close to the start of the Horse game when Shifty says Jerry Buss is going to Join our HORSE game. I was like no fucking way. Well jerry did join us on our game and he had a awesome looking Asian girl sitting right behind him.
Here a excerpt from Nik blog since i am too lazy to write this out.
So long story short, Jerry played a complete rotation of Horse with us, and I think we got him for about $150, and only cause he ran kinda crappy in Razz. Everything else he seemed to play seriously, and it was pretty obv the dude just plays to win. We all made small talk for awhile, until sometime in the O8 section of the game a tiny, smoking hot asian girl in a Lakers shirt started sweating him. After that he just kinda ignored us. During the Stud8 (last game) rotation, Shabba walked in with a couple girls from his work (hot) and started introducing us to his friends. "That's Nik, Tony, Tommy, Dennis, Ryan, the owner of the Lakers..."
Everyone, including Jerry, laughed really hard at that. Good times, probably the highlight of the trip.
One other thing i can really remember about this game was Jerry actually pump fake me in the Razz hand i believe. It was kind of funny because i got all excited when he looked like he was going to raise me but decided to fold his hand.
Afterwards I met up with the two work girls and had drinks and went to the Revolution club at the Mirage.
