Win at Shorty's

Posted a nice win last night at Shorty's in a 5-5nl game. I have been kind of bummed about the way they have been running the nl games there, but I was able to actually get in a game last night. Last Friday I went there and didn't even play. That was the first time in as long as I can remember that I went to a casino to play poker and didn't even peek at a card. If you are reading this Ken, stop me next time I am there, and I will explain...not that it matters. They are going to kill off the real games because they jump off their nl games daily with a 5-10 game. I know several people who have stopped going there because of this. I am not against them running a 5-10 game, but they have built their clientele around 5-5, and you have to at least stick to your core game before you move up. You have to stick with what got you where you are. I think they are trying to appease 4-5 players, and they are going to wind-up killing their nl game...IMHO

So I got in the game last night with $200.00. They had two 5-10 games going and they finally decided to open a 5-5game, and I happen to just walk in the door. They had the same group of donkfish that come out to Shorty's on the weekends. 6th hand of the day and I have A-Jo in the cutoff seat, and the guy UTG raises to $20 and we get 3 callers to me...I smooth. Flop comes out JhJc5s. UTG fires out $35 and one of the callers smooths and I raise. UTG calls and other guy gets out. Turn brings the 4s...UTG fires again. What could this person have? I now put him on K-J or Q-J...maybe J-10. I jam, and the guy calls announcing to the table, "I think you have me beat but I call"...The river brings another A and I say "Yea...I think I have you"...your boy doesn't muck his cards...he tables 2c2h. The Real Estate Agent next to me just stare at each other...WTF??? Hey...great. I finished off the night with a monster suck out when I made a bad call against the guy to my left. I am on the button with A-Q when he raises to $35.00 and we get a couple of callers. He only has about $135.00 behind him. Flop peals out Q-4-4 and he pushes...everyone else folds and I go in the tank. I start talking..."You got Aces or Kings huh...I know you do...Damn...I am getting Pot odds though"..."OK...I will make a bad call...I call". Sure enough...your boy tables KK. At that point the guy did the worst possible thing you can do...He announces, "Don't worry man...I have been running so bad that your going to get there...watch...its coming"...BBOOOOOOYYYAAAAAAA The Ace ball on the turn. I rack up a little later after donking off a little of my stack with $515.00 and head out. I was content with this after a 2 1/2 hour session

Took down a LLSNG last night on stars and played in a couple today. I am playing in a satellite right now on my other laptop while I blog here. Its a small on into some tournament tomorrow...looks like the Hundred Grand.

What else is happening....
--We are looking at getting another tournament here locally to the guys that are in this area. You know the place and I will e-mail out logistics. Anyone wanting to get in on it e-mail me at gened@gulfcoastpoker.net

--Goondingy has come out of semi-retirement today and is heading to the felt at Harrahs. I know Wild Bill is heading out there to honor the occasion. I am looking for some killer hand analysis in the coming days

--Damn...Busted Out...Just started cooking something and wound up donking out of the sat. I think I could have cruised into a seat and I called an all-in post after we got a table full of limpers pre on a board of K-7-3 rainbow with K-Q...of course the jammer had A-A...and HAD ME COVERED...I didn't even notice this as I was trying not to burn my eggs. I thought the guy was short stacked...Oh well

--Looks like our favorite "Scarfiest" poker player has got a bracelet. I swear DarioM looks like my 13 year old cousin. I think he even had a pokerstars scarf...how do I get one of those??

--I can't even hang at Pokerroad anymore as it really gets me depressed that I am not there. I just watch the JC Tran/Amnon Fillipi video blogs...cools as shit

--Watching the Ultimate Fighter...if any of you guys watch that what an idiot that dude Jessie Taylor was. To get to that status and get hammered and go to a Casino and act a fool. They featured how he was doing this for his boy...etc. I knew he was going to cry on the post interview once he got booted...Come on man...grow-up. I was pulling for your from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana Tim...until he starts crying. Damn...Can Dana White run one series of TUF without one person balling like a bitch.

What else...oh yea...Tex, Goondingy, Slow Play, Joe, Matt...your all on the Greyhound. Davey is driving...Parfait is co-pilot and Rutt is bartending

Gotta go...
