Well, i played another satelite. we were down tot 5 handed with top 2 getting seats, and I raised from the button with 9,9. Smal blind went all in, i had him covered and called.
he showed 3,3 and caught his 3. That crippled me and i was soon out. So annoying, I dont think i will play anymore of those satelites. they are pretty gay.
Besides that, cash games are going well. averaged about 250 each session the last 3 days. Could have been more if it wasnt for the satelites i played. I might buy in directly into a 330 if i continue to do well in cash games.
The 1/2 is just so profitable. I could take shots in more tourneys, or at a higher limit, but I’m almost guaranteed to make money at the 1/2 No limit games in vegas. Today for example i was stuck early from a cooler.
I had A,7 on button and flop comes J,7,7. and UTG limped pocket Jacks. so that sucked, but I knew if i reloaded it would only be a matter of time. Sure enough eventually I was back to even, and then soon after I was up about 300. There is about a handfull of good players at those tables and I know them all now and we avoid eachother like the plague.
My favorite hand of the night tonight was the following.
I raised to 12 with 8s7s from the Hijack. 2 away from the button. the BB re-raised to 25. folded back to me and I called.
flop came 10,8,3 rainbow. BB checked, and I checked. (normally i would bet this, but i felt like he was waiting to check/raise.
turn came another 10. he checked. It was now pretty obvious he held AK and wasnt willing to try and steal. So I bet 40. He starts to count out 40 and then thinks for a bit. He then counts out the rest of his money, (which wasnt much more He had another 40 or so behind) and I thought, Ugh.. he might just push all in here. Which would kill any attempt i had at stealing on the river if he calls and misses.So fearing his allin I say to him “pocket 7’s must be good here” He then replies with, “You dont have 7’s” So I show my 7 of spades and say “I’m positive 7’s are good cause you have AK”
He smiles and mucks. and I turn up the 8 also. The table enjoyed it and had a laugh and that put AK boy in a sour mood. Oh well…
