WOOOHAH. CASINO FISH ROUND 2.
WilsWils, Oct 08 2007
Hellooooooooooooooo fellow bloggers and LPer's! How do you do today? Earlier in my 2nd blog i talked about how i'd head out to the cas again after the stupid session earlier the previous day.
Let us begin
Me and my friend Leif, henceforth known as biggy smalls decided to hit up the cas on sunday, pre thanksgiving. (LOL CANADIAN THANKSGIVING). We stroll into the card room and immediately get ID'd (clearly we were seen as far too young to be as balla as we were) not once, not twice, but three times. We walk around the room surveying the variety of games, and take note of a these tables:
1.) 5/5 DC with sicko stacks of 10k+ chips
2.) 3/6 limit with dirty terrible casino degen grampa grinders.
3.) 1/2 NL tables with ALOT of young guns who surprisingly either play stupidly tight or stupidly loose. I mean, they dont even play with calculated aggression, its more like their thought process is
"HMMM, WELL I RECALL BACK ON THE WPT DVD I BORROWED FROM MY FRIEND AND WATCHED ON MY MOM'S DVD Player, THAT HASAN HABIB PUSHED ALL IN WITH K7o AND GOT PEOPLE TO FOLD, I GUESS HE MUST KNOW WHAT HES DOING SO I GUESS I CAN DO AN ALLSTAR PLAY TOO. LOL IM ALL IN"
"i call"
"FUK LOL O WELL I CAME 2 GAMBLE"
that's basically how it goes when you play with the high school guys who've just turned 18.
Anyways, me and biggy sign up for the young gun table and get seated after a 30 minute wait. We buy in for 250$ each ($$$$$$$$$BALLLIN$$$$$$$$$$$$) and proceed to set to work, having a % of each other's profit.
The first hour is mainly us just trying to get action started, straddling and re-straddling each time we can just cause we can. This was one of the most rainbow tables ive ever sat at (LOL GET IT REFERENCE TO A POKER BOARD), we had:
Seat 1: Biggy smalls
seat 2: Old white woman
seat 3: Old black guy
seat 4: Not quite as old, but just as black, black guy
seat 5: Young black guy, (may have been famous basketball player, or ex-con - his face was extremely familiar)
seat 6: Fatty white man, beer gut, bottlecap glasses
seat 7: Extremely suave and handsome asian man (me)
seat 8: Young gun #1
seat 9: Young gun #2
Ok. So now that all the table dynamics have been shown, ill start talking about memorable hands that happened
i ended up losing about a 100$ trying to semibluff on bigg-o draw boards , AsQs on a flush draw board and unable to hit etc, where as biggy was playing pretty tight and was chipping up nicely, nearly doubling his stack within an hour. Eventually, i stole a big pot with an ace high c/r on a stupidly dry board for 130$ ish or so to put me up a bit.
Next hand I straddle when it gets to me UTG, and we get a re-straddle and the pot starts building with 3 callers. I look down at 10c7c and pop it up to 25$ and get the 2 black guys calling.
Q K J rainbow. I check, and the other 2 check behind. Turn is the 6c giving me a possible club draw with an ace high straight. I put on my most serious face and go.
"50." sliding in a decent stack of reds. Old black man folds and young black man tanks for a while.
Now why would he tank, ladies and gents?
Taking a minute to call, i put him on a few things.
Q10, AJ, 1010. I figured i get push him off if he had taken this long to call, and if i bricked off on the river.
River was a harmless looking 3d , and i fire out 1/2
He giggles , says "i call" ( i had like 100 left or so) and tables A10 for the flopped straight.
i play goot
I went and reloaded and sat back with 250~ish.
A few hands later, there's a straddle on board and i look down at 89s , i complete as does a few others, but i take a look at old fat white man and he notice he was acting quite strange, almost as if he had some sort of poker elation, which i will explain later.
Biggy looks down at his cards and completes the straddle. Black man pops it up to 20$. suddenly, old white man calls. He had been playing extremely tight so i decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and folded with great implied and pot odds -________________-, young gun also completed the call on the 20$
Biggy , now i have played with him for a while so i knew he was huge (extremely solid / tight player, great for casino games). As he fished an entire stack of reds and slid them in the middle.
dealer "Re-raise, 80."
young gun calls the 80$ reraise, and immediately behind him old white guy makes it 200, double fisting his chips into 2 huge towers while shaking incredibly. I was like WOW HES SO NERVOUS HE MUST HAVE IT.
Biggy goes all in for 400, shoving over top.
Young gun complains and goes GOD HOW CAN I FOLD THIS, and mucks QQ. Old man, still completely shaking says, I CALL.
Biggy flips up AA ofc, while old man doesn't show. (See where im going with this? does this seem.....familiar?)
Board goes
Q 5 4
Turn
6
River
7
So at this point im like FUCK what if he hit that set of queens? everyone goes LOL NICE SHOW THE QUEENS
whiteman tables 58h for the runner straight.
HUK HUK. Biggy steams and walks it off by taking a couple laps around the casino, and reloads for 150. So sick. So much for us making a big payday -_-
Now at this time, this story continues with new blood. Seats 8/9 are replaced by DIFFERENT young guns, super annoying ones.
seat 8: SUPER LOUD ASIAN GUY WHO TALKED IN CAPS LOCK IRL. HE HAD IPOD HEADPHONES IN AND WOULD JUST FUCKING YELL LIKE THIS WHEN HE TALKED EVERY SINGLE TIME, IN ADDITION TO WHENEVER THERE WAS AN ALL IN HE'D GO ONE TIME, ONE TIME, ONE TIME DEALER LIKE IT WAS A TOURNEY ETC.
seat 9: his brown friend, looked like he was 13 and had aviator like non - sunglasses glasses. so weird.
They both bought in for the minimum 100$ and i prepared to feast on the shorties. hopefully.
I had the usual TAG-ish image, combination of the table being super , super loose and my seat being behind a tight whitey, but with loose people behind me -_-
ANYWAYS, one hand where LOUD ASIAN MAN showed his douchebaggery was this:
seat 3 pops it up to 20$ , 4/5/6 all call. everyone else folds to asian kid who looks down at his hand and starts whining. immediately. "AWWW fuck, why this hand? this is bullshit, god"
"i'm all in"
and throws his entire 100$ stack in. Obv seats 3-5 call and 6 folds, and the board is inconspicious to the rest of this story.
Asian kid ends up tabling AA and everyone sorta gawks at him for giving a speech then doing what he did. He starts complaining, very loudly ofc, MAN I WISH I HAD MORE MONEY THEN I COULD HAVE (weird odds math calculation). He gets yelled at by seat 3 who looks like he could eat him irl for breakfast, and immediately quiets down.
I finalyl end up getting tangled in a hand with asian guy, when i pop it up to 15$ after 4 limps before me with Kc9c
asian guy calls and so does old white man.
Flop
Ac 6d 7x
Pretty boring flop, but enough to represent some sort of possible hand. I fire out 40 and they both call.
Turn
3c
 LOL I MEANT TO WRITE I CHECK
Intresting, at this point i figure im beat. BUT- I know that asian guy does not have an ace. i know that much, just by the way he was playing the and and such. White man on the other hand, most likely had a weak ace. I checked hoping to figure out some way to take this pot away on the river if a face card popped out. They both checked behind.
River
2c
wham bam ty mam, ship the nut flush. Old man front bets 10$, trying to buy the pot by betting 1/15th of it clearly. I reach for a stack, slow down a bit and make it look like im thinking, and trying to raise an ace for value, OR making an outrageously weird bluff (it is casino after all, no one knows what someone's line would be and 90% are incapable of beyond 2nd level thinking), and i throw in 10 reds for a smallish reraise (relavent to pot) for 50$. Asian guy stares at me, and says "Man, whats your kicker bro?"
"Im bluffing"
"Now i know youre full of shit, youre trying to use that reverse- reverse psychology huh? you really are full of it. I CALL"
white man folds immediately as i table the nut flush
He sheepishly mucks and does not tell me what he had, i can only presume 10's or something. I rake in a nice pot.
Next hour is extremely card dead for me and biggy and we still straddle , but continually see fucked up welfare cards like Q3 38 etc etc , standard stuff
Finally, i find AQo in the cutoff and pump it up to 15, geting just the asian guy (lol) calling me, we're HU as we head to the flop. Asian guy has about 150 left.
Flop
Qx 3x 9x rainbow
I check to him, and he fires out 15 , i call.
Turn
5d
He fires out 40, i call.
River
10c
I check and he tanks. "well.......if you got it, you got it" and throws in the rest of his stack, i casually slide the rest of my chips in and table the AQ for TPTK. as i scoop his money and say "SORRY BRAH" He sighs and sadly walks out with his friend , who had somehow busted earlier but i didnt care enough about him to write in this blog.
Anyways, the next hour is a fucking mess because i dont remember, at that point iwas tired and incoherent as was biggy who was basically falling asleep.
After 5 hours, our excursion netted us:
Biggy: down 200
Me: up 100. but still down overall for the week D;
Got home at 4 am and passed out. Im sure this blog is still kinda incoherent cuz im tired but oh well huk huk
Casino is fun.
Still havent touched the online br
Ty for reading friends

First story!
WilsWils, Oct 05 2007
Hai fellow readers and LPer/creepers.
Today i decided to celebrate my Midterms ending with a quick hop in to LOLCASINOCASH 1/2 game
I put my name down with the floorman and set to work trying to cut infront of the waiting list. I walked up to an old asian woman who looked me up and down , and she somehow knew what i wanted from her.....
"you buy my seat 10$"
ofc i go LOL OK and sit right in after slipping her a 10
now this 1/2 NL game has a MAX buyin of 500 and MIN of 100, so being the balla that i am i buy in for 250. The table is full of your typical casino degenerates ranging from..
old retired rich grandpa (seat 1)
old man wearing trucker cap (seat 2)
random scrub (seat3-5)
ME (seat 6)
internet hotshot (7)
super soft woman (8)
random ethiopian black dude (9)
so, clearly i was the youngest at the table, being the ripe age of 20, with everyone else at least 30+.
Immediately seat 1 (grandpa) says "uh oh looks like we got a young gun".
first hand im dealt in i straddle UTG (ofc) and everyone limps i look down at KK go LOL RAISE and pop it up to 20$
everyone folds cept old grandpa in seat 1 who sneers and calls me down throwing 4 red chips from his 500+ stack.
flop
Ax 6h 3h
I fire out for 2/3 the pot and he instacalls.
Turn
8h
Hmm. Intresting card here, i fire out 1/2 to rep a super strong ace , since this grandpa guy seems quite nittish and would have called my straddle PFR with anything from 1010+.
He tanks for a bit , looks at me and says "ill get you soon" and mucks JJ.
LOLZ
I decide to build a LAG-ish table image and begin to raise PF 3times an orbit.
Another notable hand is where i straddled again, got all 7 other players calling me (LOLZ) and looked down at K10o. Keeping the image i popped it up to 25$ and everyone mucked
TY DEAD MONEY LOL
a little while later i steal 4 pots in a row just cuz i can
So now im sitting pretty decent, 2 hours into the session and im up 250+~ ish , not having gone to showdown or shown my cards once. The entire table is avoiding me until it comes to me in UTG again, where i straddle ^____________^
gramps, trucker hat , and big momma come along and complete their calls, where i look down at As6s. Thinking back to my K10 hand, i go LOL RAISE and pop it up to 25 because 25 is an intimidating number
grandpa hacks up a little at the table, blows into his hankey and calls me, never once taking his eyes off me.
Flop:
7s 8s 10d
LOL NICE FLOP 4 ME (ethiopian man who had gone up to get something comes back and whispers in my ear "the entire table is scared of you little asian man")
i check it in hopes of semi bluff C/Ring, because i really wanted to get into a big pot with this guy, who had been ragging on me the entire session as "over aggressive, going broke" etc etc.... ._.
he bets 5$. Now , at this point i am thinking 1 of 2 things
1.) LOL SET TRYING TO TRAP?? ............... but why so little
I also deduced that he couldnt have any over pair ,because who the fuck would front bet like 1/10 the pot.
I put him on a pair + combo flush draw of some sort, which put me at 3 aces, a 9, and any spades to give me the best hand.
I smiled and announced "reraise, sir", sliding 10 red chips into the middle for a 45$ reraise. Pot was definetly building now.
Old man glares and goes "oh really? i raise 200". Now i go WTF in my head, and the entire table begins to chatter "nice move jerry!" "ohh you got him this time jerry!" all the old men anyway, im assuming they were all reg. casino degens who were constant donaters. Ethiopian guy and internet hotshot are discussing amongst them selves "the asian guy was trapping him, this old guy is toast".
I have about 260 left behind at this point IIRC, and go
"Alright, all in" and shove in the rest of my stack. Old grandpa has about 300ish left, and stares at me. "......eh............ i think i am beat...." as he slides in the rest of his chips. The pot is now something stupidly big like 800-900 for a 1/2 NL game and the dealer goes, kk show!
I table my nut flush / gutshot / overcard draw, and he decides to not show.
Turn
5c
River
Kc
So fuck. I missed, but i was hoping he'd also have a missed FD maybe , hoping against hope he had QsJs or something stupid
He slowrolls me and grins , and flips up 65o. SLOWROLLS. the dealer berates him for being such a cockbag "that's pretty dirty jerry, do that one more time and im going to have to ask you to leave". Old man is grinning from ear to ear as if he's made the best calldown of the century, calling a 4bet with an open ended straightdraw on a flush drawing board -___________-.
What made it even sicker was that the 5 on the turn gave me 4 more outs to make me an open ender.
I choke back another sicko bad beat, as i thought this day i would be able to climb out of my horrible poker downswing (For my stakes anyway - read past blog).
But i force a smile and go, you outplayed me sir ^_^b
Table thinks im serious and goes "no! we thought you were an over aggressive player who doesnt know anything but you're definetly a good player."
old grandpa goes "yea you outplayed me, i will admit - i am sorry for slow rolling."
i then go "so what did you put me on to make that call sir?"
old grandpa goes : "a straight draw, i figured we had the same cards"
i rebought for 200 and ended up card dead for the next hour, i cut my losses and took my remaining 120 and left.
As i left, mr trucker hat old man busted old grandpa's 900+ stack when grandpa called an all in on a As 3s 10c board with K2s for his entire stack. Trucker man had trip aces ofc.
I LOVE THE CASINO
i'm definetly taking another shot later on tonight or tommorow, getting a friend to stake me. i can definetly, definetly beat this game, as the potential ROI with 1/2 blinds is so good. I'm also bored of online poker sometimes, but i really need to start grinding that FTP br -_-v

Backround and restarting...
WilsWils, Oct 04 2007
Hai blog creepers and LP'ers. I've been a long time creeper and decided thats too much work, and emo blogs are fun to post bad beats and whine in
I've been pokering for about 3 years , but as far as online went
2 years ago
i deposited 50, grinded 6$ sngs on stars till i hit 300$, cashed that out cause i didnt give a fuck about BR, hell i didnt even know what br was back then
1 year ago
Played on stars actually trying to get good at cash, 4 tabled 10NL to hit a BR of 500, again, i didnt know anything about BR and mainly did what my other friend (MT's PLO 1/2 on stars) and opened up a bunch of tables and played tight.
Flash to 6 months ago in the summer, i deposited 300 onto FTP after i found out what rake back was (I GET MY MONEY BACK? LOL YES PLZ.). From there i grinded the 300 + (not including the 100% bonus) up to 1800 BR. For some reason i decided at this point to try out stars again
Soooooo once i moved the 1800 BR to stars, i took a couple shots @ 100NL. met some marginal success but then went on a downswing (moved down after losing 1 BI @ 100NL) on the 50NL tables, dropping >20< BI's over 5k hands. It wasn't spew or anything, had a couple of experienced grinder friends on stars / ftp review some big hands, was just horrible variance really -_-;; (Flopped flush AIOF vs Set runner runner fh, KKVAA AAVKK standard bad luck stuff).... now, i had never run this bad before so it was quite a shock to me, i guess you could say i hit poker depression and started feeling scared to play my usual game (BUT WHAT IF I GET DRAWN OUT AGAIN I BETTER JUST FOLD HERE AND WAIT FOR A BETTER THAN 80/20 SPOT)
anyways, i ended up dropping further after coming back after a 3 week break, and ended up getting into more downswing-goodness and ended up dropping to a shitty 250$ BR. (moved down to 25NL @ 500 where i ate some more bad beats + a couple bad plays)
So here i am, moved back the 250 roll to FTP to start grinding micro. I think i'm better at SNG's, but i just find it waaay too much of a grind (10 straight SNG loss downswings are standard stuff, but man they're boring when u
bubble them -_-)
Am going to be investing in PT and PAhud when i get the $. (keeping my rl money and poker money totally seperate, therefore id rather not spend half my BR buying PT / PAHUD)
but thank you for taking the time to read this, i'll be on FTP grinding FR 25NL X 5 tables under this nick so feel free to roll me with some bad beats so i can post them on this blog (LOL 15'' LAPTOP MONITOR SO UNBALLER.)
