Apr. 5th, 2007 10:22 pmAnother two-hour delay. Sigh.
I nearly caught a cab back to the casino to play for another couple of hours.
Yesterday saw a horror pot. I reraised from the cut-off with Kh Kd and got six callers, including one player behind me, a Mexican-Indian, as far as I could see. 10.5 big bets in pot. Flop came Js Ts 3s. Checked to me. I bet, Mexican woman raises and small blind three-bets, called by the original raiser. I probably have one out here. Woman either has JT or 33, while reraiser either has a made flush or a draw to the nut flush with something like AT off. So, I fold.
But you can't play these games like you do proper games. Turn brings my one out of the King of clubs. Betting continues bet call call on turn and bet call call on river.
Mexican woman shows two pair, Jacks and Threes to win pot.
And, yes, I know that I should have called the extra two bets on the flop, even though I am facing another possible two bets. You just never know in these fucking games. WHy did I decide to "fold early, call late"? Stupid idea. But, well, this hand just shows how out of form and out of ideas I am in this kind of game. I played like a cunt throughout the fotnight, which was what depressed me most about the whole affair. That I still finished a fraction up ust shows how bad the opposition was.But, to be honest, I now just feel like giving up the live game. It's no fun unless you can chat with the occasional enjoyable opponent who isn't a moron.
The network conection here at the airport is very flaky. Last time I was here I worked out why and created a get-around, but I can't remember exactly what I did.
However, I can now claim to have been dealt a Royal Flush (two cards in hand) at the Bellagio, which is something I would imagine not many people can say.
Of course, if I had been dealt it at the Flamingo, it would have been worth $599....
Oh, and although I remembered the mains connector, I didn't remember the adaptor, so I'm only on battery power. That just about sums up the fortnight.
Let's post this while I'm still online...
