Brutal showing in New Mexico at the Hold'em Tables
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2008 10:45 pm
I bought in for $200 at a $1 $2 No Limit table. After five hands, I had $400 in chips. I stayed around the $400 range for the next hour going up and down. Then, in the big blind, I was dealt pocket 7s. I raised $12 pre-flop and had 3 callers. Flop comes 3d-7h-3c. I've got the nut boat. Small blind bets $5, so I am thinking he has pocket Ks or As. I smooth call. The other two players call. Turn comes up 10d. Small blind bets $40 quick, I come over the top for $80 and he moves all in with $290 more. I call. I flips over pocket 3s. JFC. I'm out.
Next night, I buy back in at the same table. I caught nothing the entire night. Lost $200 in four hours without catching more than two hand the entire time.
Third night, I play 3 card poker and caught a striaght flush after about 10 hands. I had $10 on pair plus and was paid 40/1. Nice little $400 bounce back there. I'm about even for the trip.
Fourth night, Mrs. Rumps and I go back to the poler room. She is up big after about 10 hands. She had two all ins and immediately is up to $600 in chips. I teeter around $200 for about 3 hours. I finally get up to about $350. After that, I get pocket Qs and bet $25; I get one caller. Flop comes 4-7-10 rainbow. Dude goes all in for $55; I call and he has pocket 10s. I am back down to $270 and on the very next hand, I am dealt pocket As. I slow play to the blind. Flop comes A-7-10 rainbow. I check. 3 others check. Turn comes K. Chick bets $30, I go all in, she calls. She has broadway. I fucking lose again. I played the Aces badly.
I get up just fuming and immediately take two green chips ($25) that were in my pocket to the roulette table and I see 0/00 had not hit in a while, so I put both $25 chips on the single and double 0. Single 0 hits and I win $850. I went and told the wife I wanted to leave. She cashes out $600 after buying in for $160 and I cahse out for $900. Fucking weird and wild night at the Casino.
After losing money to the grind of hold'em and win over $1200 on a straight flush in 3 card and a $25 bet on 0 at the wheel. Rediculous. Pure luck.
