Session at Shorty's

Went to Shorty's last night and played and got in a real good game. It really sucked because I don't think I played as well as I should have and booked a loser on the night. I did not catch any cards and I started to push marginal hands. The game had some rally juicy players and there was opportunity to make alot of money, but I just could not get a hand. I got Aces once early in the night. I made it $30.00 pre-flop and got 4 callers. Flop came out uneventful and I jammed and took down the pot there. I got in the game with $300.00 which is what we had to start with. I had up to $550.00 when I got moved to the main game. There was a lady at the table that is known for playing big. I personally watched her take out $500.00 and buy back into the game 6 times. Jack was there and seemed to be doing pretty good, and I got to show our site http://www.gulfcoastpoker.net/ to the Poker room manager Ken. I will be posting up the tournament logistics when I can get around to it.

I hovered around 4-5 hundred for several hours. I tried to push a few hands, and started to bleed off my stack. I should have been more patient. I was getting frustrated. I got down to $230.00 when this hand came up that felted me for the night. I am in the high jack seat when I look down at QsQh. I make it $35.00 and again...get 3 callers. Flop comes out 7s8sJs. Doc on the other end of the table makes it $70.00 to go. The next player raises to $150.00. I go in the tank trying to fiqure out what to do. I figured one of them had the straight and one had the As in their hand. I knew I should have folded...I knew it. I was sitting there telling myself to just dump the hand, but the fact that I had the Qs and was in a spot to triple up if I hit my hand made me spazz out. I knew if I made this call, I could not get away from my hand so I move all in. Well, the SB jams over the top of me...and everybody calls. Great, I have a chance to more than triple up and get back in the game...wrong...we turn over our cards and the Doc has 10d9d the next player shows 3s4s for a flush with a guy shot straight flush draw and the SB tables As2s...and that was my night. I played bad...tried to rush and force some hands and could not fold pocket Queens with the board suited. I drove home feeling like a fish.

Oh well...I am going to head to Amelia tonight to see if they can get a game there.

Oh yea..I almost forgot. I posted in the comments section of my previous blog that I felt that the Boomtown dealer may have robbed me on a hand I posted. Well, I spoke to a guy that was at the table and remembered the hand as he knew the guy that was in it with me. I had K-J and he had A-K the flop actually came out Q-3-J...the K fell on the turn and a Q came on the river. Giving both of us Kings and Queens with the Ace kicker. Sorry for posted the hand wrong.
