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 pla<x>yers 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 pla<x>yer who doesnt know anything but you're definetly a good pla<x>yer."

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

That's funny, pretty spot-on description of live lowstakes poker especially the "typical casino degenerates"

you said his hand was 75o though and i think you meant 65o

Im like a motherfucking bulletproof tiger

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had?
