Trip Report

We got to the casino at about 9:00pm after getting lost 8 times on the way there due to there being no civilization and cell phone towers for my friends phones gps in michigan Once we got there we had to wait for about an hour-hour and a half for them to open up a new table even though there were 25 people on the waiting list.

Once we got on the table i sat tight, and in the second half hour i pick up KK in mp. My friend seated to my right opens up for 10 and i make it 40. Guy on the button calls with like 30 behind. I just put him all in blind and he calls the flop and flips over AJ. GG him.

After that hand i proceed to not play a hand for 3 1/2 hours besides a couple pocket pairs where i would call a $7 raise which would then get reraised behind me and i felt i needed to call since there were like 3 callers to the reraise everytime. So i bled off some chips doing that. We then take a 1/2 hour break and im down $48 (i counted). I come back and make a play with TT on a QKx board to a guy that obv didnt have anything.

One hand that really pissed me off that nite:
I get 44 in mp and i limp in and theres a few callers behind me.
Flop: AA4
it checks to me and i check as does everyone behind me.
Turn: 3
It checks to me and i bet maybe 10 into the pot, around a pot size bet and a guy in mp calls, everyone else folded
River: 6
He checks to me and the pot is around 25-30 and i make it 25 and the guy just calls

He flips over 33.... How the fuck does this guy check call a turned boat!?!?!?! He had about $100 behind which i felt should have all gotten into the pot, i was pissed.


So anyways i build my stack to around $250 (bought in for $150, was down $50 before break so no im up about $50). Our table breaks up and me and my buddy wait for a couple seats to open up. We sit at a table where everyone half the table has pretty deep stack. Guy immediately to my left has ~$1400 and theres a few other stacks between $300 and $600. This was a nice change from the other table where everyone was like $100 or less.

I sit tight for the first half hour and the second half hour at the table i pick up KK utg. I make it $15 and the bb ($1400 stack guy) calls and checks in the dark.

Flop comes: KT7 rainbow
He checked in the dark so i fire out a $20 bet, obviously leveling him because he knows that im going to fire at any pot when checked to in the dark. He calls
Turn: 9
He checked in the dark again and i put out a $50 bet and he again calls after a little hesitation.
River: 6, not completing any flush draws or straight draws i could put him on

He checks again and i push all in for my remaining $157 or so chips. He thinks for a long time before he folds, probly 5 min at least. He told me he had 9T, big laydown from the play i have seen that nite.

Last hand of the nite, my stacks around $350 (+150 for the day) and i decide to get cute with J9o. Were shorthanded now at the table at UTG raises, which he has been raising really light. I call 10 on the button looking to take the pot away if its a good board.

Flop comes K44

Pretty good flop for me, its unlikely he hit anything here. He puts out a $15 which really doesnt mean anything. I call looking to steal the pot on the turn

Turn: A

I think this is a really good card to come that i can represent if he has an underpair which i think is a prettly likely scenario, the really liked his middle pairs.

He checks to me and I make it $35, and he then makes it $100. I fold obv, and he shows aces full. Awesome.

So besided the last hand i felt i played pretty well and ended up +$85 or so at the end of the nite which i think was pretty good being how card dead i was the first 3 1/2 hours. We played there for about 6-7 hours, i had fun, so id say it was a pretty good trip. Right now im going of of about 5 hours total sleep in the past 56 hours (lots of energy drinks and caffeine at the casino and on the ride back) so i should probly get some sleep soon.
