I think that sounds about right. I would like to play poker for four days and then have the weekend off and do something else or just give myself some time to read and catch up on my eBay sales and go from there.
I decided not to play the tournament, this morning, and save the $25 and play in the live cash game. I called ahead and put my name up on the list. She told me there were two ahead of me and from the past three days it could be a wait. I arrived at Crazy Moose Casino and decided to have some lunch while I was waiting. Of course, I could have gotten lunch cheaper if I had waited until I was in the game and ordered then. Just not sure of how long this was going to take. It was around noon when I arrived, and I was finally able to get in the game about 1PM. Not too bad.
I sat down in the number one seat and put $125 on the table. Today it was a $2-$20 game and that was better for me. Since the table had been going almost two hours there was definitely some players that where doing better than others. I just sat there and took my time to see who was playing more aggressively before I started to jump into pots. I was not doing well in the pots I was involved with. I was up about $20 at one point and then started losing chips when the cards just were not going my way.
We got a new person in seat nine and he put $200 on the table. I was hoping, since I had position on him, that I would be able to pull some of those chips my way. He started out very aggressive and betting $20 and raising to $40 at will. I could tell everyone was tired of the aggressiveness and also waiting until they got a good hand to start playing back. We also had an opportunity a few times to see what he was playing and could tell that he was raising with non premium hands. The feast was on at that point. It was something to watch. He had his stack up around $500 and then he started getting called and raised and he eventually had about $30 in front of him. His SO came in the room and she was not happy with him and wanted him to leave. He wouldn't do it and reloaded with another $200.
I ended up staying for two and a half hours this time and was all the way down to $44 left. This was going to be my first day on the negative side and I knew this day was coming. I had done my best and it just didn't work out today. I was getting close to leaving since I was already over my time limit and I got pocket 7's. This was just another way for me to go out and at least I had a hand to do it with. The guy in seat two raised, as the UTG, to $24. He got two or three callers and I decided that since this was going to be my last hand I was going out big time. I raised it to $44, which put me all in and seat two raised it to $64. He got the two or three callers and I had a nice pot if my 7's were to hold up till the end. The flop came out 7x3. Wow, I got my set and now need to make sure the flush did not come in. The betting continued for the side pot and the turn produced x that didn't make a flush. More betting done and this was a huge pot for someone. The river was another 3 and I had made the full house. At this point I wished I had more money to throw into the pot. More betting and we all turned over our hands and my Full House stood up and I ended up with about $170 in the main pot and the side pot went to seat number two.
I stayed around for awhile longer and eventually pulled my chips off of the table and cashed in with $155 for the day. Another day being positive when I was expecting to walk away with nothing.
Just to finish up the story on seat number nine. He did run it back up to around $300 and then when I left he had around $100 in front of him. It was interesting to see him go from the $20 bets and raising to just raising $5. It was a change in him and everyone was then calling the $5 and playing hands with him. As for me I headed home and will regroup for next week.
Have a fun day.....
