Meet me at Fox -Woods.

Foxwoods was fun and went well. We got in late wed. night so I didn’t play at all and we just hung out and went to sleep.

Thursday, Matt went and played the 3K tournament and I played about 5 hours of 20-40 limit hold em. Then we went home. Last time (and the only time, I should add) I played this high matt took 50% of my wins and losses. But this time, all the money was mine to win or lose.

I did pretty well… won a little more than 570 in that time… I fluctuated a few times to up about 500, down 150 and did that at least 1 or 2 more times…

I won one big pot where it was raised and called, and I called in the big blind with AJ. Flop: 910Q rainbow. I check, pf raiser bets, 3^rd guy raises, I call with my open ended straight draw. Pf raiser 3 bets, 3^rd guy caps, I call. Pot is already kinda big now (370). Turn is a lovely King. I’ve got the nuts. I bet out, pf raiser looks upset but calls, 3^rd guy raises (!) I rereaise. Pf raiser looks sick. “I flopped the nuts,” he says. I know you have ace jack. Then he calls. I am sitting there, sure the 3^rd guy has a set, just praying the board doesn’t pair. The river is a 10, pairing the board. Now I’m losing to a full house, which I’m sure the 3^rd guy has. I check. Pf raiser checks. 3^rd guy checks!

They both have KJ. They flopped the best possible hand… and I had only the two remaining kings in the deck to win… but hit it I did… and raked a 730 pot. That was a cool hand.

Don’t worry, I got sucked out on a lot… but that was a cool hand.

The play was horrific. I can’t believe how good the table was… There’s no way a normal 20/40 game is that good… guys calling raises with 105 suited, and then calling bets on the flop needing runner-runner clubs to win, with 10 high. That happened a fair amount.

Seriously, I could play this game for the rest of my life and do well.

I’m psyched to go out to vegas next month…matt says there are some fantastic 30-60 games out there… I’m psyched to play them. It will be another jump for me, but I can certainly beat a 20/40 game, and I imagine the 30-60s aren’t much better (though nothing will be as good as today…).
