   Introduction

   Hello everyone glad to be back on here telling you about my adventures in hold em. I am here to tell you about my unlucky hands that has dictated this post.

   Palm Springs/Trip Description

   The trip was consisted of golf,poker, sun, and spend time with grandparents that I hardly get to see. Golf didn't go well the 1st day but I put it together a lot better the 2nd day overall, I had a great time my two scores were a bad 93 then an 82 I was pretty happy overall because I haven't played much since October during my trip to the Bay Area.

   The Poker

   Ok, do you guys remember in last year's post about that computer hold em that I played at Fantasy Springs? if not go and check it out it is one of my favorite posts. This year I wanted to go and crush that game again, but they eliminated it. I was told it was losing money and no poker base (that is a bad combo) was the reasons. I am not supraised at all that is what you get by putting a douche bag machine in. I heard that Agua Caliente had a very good poker room so I ended up driving the 10 miles to get there and they weren't kidding 11 tables and games ranging from 2/5 NL to 3/6 kill.

   3/6 Kill

   I figured since I have been handing the table there asses lately at 3/6. With my stragedy that has been working, I figure I would sit at 3/6 and do well, after the first night results that was true. I turned the open ender with then flopping 2 pair with in the big blind I left with 125 up and a good session overall. The next night I played the same game at the same casino, I showed down two hands early and won. I was up 90 bucks early when a big hand happened I pick up and raise 6 people call. The flop comes out somebody bets out I raised and everybody called. The turn came out a two people check's, that gives me the ok to bet with confidence and did so. Three people called the river came out a which I thought it was the best card in the deck. I am thinking how can I lose this hand nobody has taken charge in the hand by raising me, I look like the aggressive player by betting like I have it the whole way. I was raised on the river and I called of course cause the pot was big for 3/6. This idiot had POCKET TWO'S wtf I couldn't believe it, I don't get why dumb ass people play hands like that and expect to win. I don't get the thinking of dumb players, maybe one day I will understand to be really bad at poker and get lucky!!!.

   A bit later in the session I have in a kill pot which is only a half kill with the limits going to 4/8. I just call and we are 4 handed going to the flop. The flop came out I bet 4 and two people called. A hits the turn that gives me the nut flush draw to go with my top pair. I bet out the 8 and was raised by the same guy in the hand I discussed before. I called the river came a giving me a good enough showdown hand. I bet 8 and was raised again I quickly called this idiot ended up having just making me really mad. I didn't describe earlier that this guy doesn't even know what a big blind is, or how to bet or he never knows when the bet is to him. He just calls to see what happens it was a shit show!!! if you ask me and got me steaming, I got up and Brian had the pleasure of hearing me being really mad over a phone conversation then after I calmed down my night ended down 80 bucks.

   Food for thought

   After three sessions of limit and playing last Thursday at La center which ended badly I am down to 275 in my bankroll and just reeling. But, coming up in less then three weeks is the Bay Area trip, with Jason and company which will be a ton of 1/2 NL. I will be back with a post before my trip until then, play well and may all of your pots be monster.

   • I'm sorry to hear about the loss, man. Just remember you can't expect much more than a $12/hour profit playing 3/6, even if you can crush the game. And against these "old fogies," it's not as easy to crush the game as you think :) They've played 23846 more times the hands you have!
