I’ll start by saying, Man, I wish i was running good. I’d be having a sick week if i could just win some 50/50 race situations.
I Lost a open ended straight draw with Flush Draw vs an over pair. I’m a slight favorite. and tonight I lost a open ended straight flush draw vs a set. about 55/45 for him. Both times it was all in on the flop.
Also, In tournaments and satellites I seem to be running into horrible situations of being card dead at the wrong times, making moves at the wrong time.
being in sb, having it fold around, and running into BB with AA or AK. happened twice tonight in the same satellite to the same guy. Sick.

But besides all that bitching, Things are going well. Up 1200 in cash since monday, but down 405 in tournaments/satellites. I made a great bluff today, it had me smiling. I usually dont run a Bluff play, but i couldnt help it this time.
I had 8,10 of spades, on a board of J,7,3,3,A I had check/called the flop (which had 2 hearts. ) I was planing to float this player because he was a pretty weak player. I check/called the turn, and I decided to check the river.
He made a weak bet, and thats when i raised enough to put him all in.
He struggled for about 45 seconds, finally he grabbed his chips and counted them out, looked back at me, looked at the board, looked back at his chips, and thats when i decided i had to say something or he was going to call.

So i hold my cards up, and say “I’ll show u anyways,” he says “what?” I said again “I’ll show u, so if u fold, I’ll still show”

he mucks, and everyone says, “Ok show show….” So i show the bluff and the table erupts, he looked pretty steamed, and I felt like Hellmuth when he bluffs Matusow. It made me smile

Also the last two days I’ve been going around to various casinos and checking out the poker rooms. Played at Red Rock Casino and Spa today, was really nice. The poker room was pretty decent also. Its a fair ways off the strip, but i’d recommend it to anyone traveling to vegas.
Not too sure If i’ll be playing anymore satellites this week.
I might just keep trying to build with cash games, and maybe play in a sateliite monday morning for the 330.00 MTT deepstack.
