Bowling Night

today is league night, and I hope improve off my less than stellar first week performance. Granted, I havent touched a bowling ball in months and I did manage a score over 200 in my 2nd game. I'm gonna bring my better bowling balls and hopefully I will get a more consistent reaction from them, I mean at 200 dollars a ball they fuckin better perform. Other than that work has been great, and I should get my new Polo Big Horse shirts in the mail today. Poker playing has been non existent, same goes for girl department. Although there is one girl I like that is now very much available, and ive also gotten back my excitement a little bit to go back to the Philippines.

The lovely bitches of poker QQ

So its my day off, Saturday. My uncle and I decide to take the nice boat ride to Clearwater Casino in Bainbridge Island. We eat at the buffet, as which I devoured several slices of Prime Rib, fried shrimp, and salmon. He goes off for a smoke, and tries 20 bucks at the slots. To which I then say "ill check out the poker", he then sits down at the Pai Gow table and plunks down 60. I head to the poker room, only game going was 4/8 hold em, so I put my name on the waiting list. Head off to the ATM machine and withdraw 300 dollars. To kill sometime I play some blackjack, after about half an hour of highs and lows I come out even from my initial 40 dollar chip buy in. Poker room calls my name, so I go over and buy a rack of chips 100 bucks. So the first three pots I play I hit nice pot with a King high flush, and I make a ballsy call with my pocket pair of 33 on the river to take down a nice pot in which two guys were trying to bluff. Biggest pot of the night game when I flopped J, 6,7. I had J7 in BB with two people betting out so I let them bet for me. Turn came a Jack, woo hoo! yet the two people continue to bet. River a queen of clubs, making a possible flush for someone. BET BET BET! WOO HOO! So I take down a nice pot in which the turn and river bets were capped 32 dollars max per player.

Here comes the ugly half of the story, after a few busted draws, and AQ, AK not hitting. I went from a high of 230 bucks down to 160. So I get QQ UTG and of course make it two bets to go, then I get three callers. Flop is seven, four, deuce check to me, I bet 4. One caller after two players fold, turn brings a 7. I'm still not worried, so I lead out eight. I get called. River A! I check he bets 8, I make a crying call. A7 of hearts..GRRRR.. Now heres the final hand, QQ in the BB. UTG calls, call, call, button raises, SB makes it 3 bets, I cap it at 4. so that makes 16 bucks with 6 people in the hand. Flop brings queen, eight, nine. SB raises, I call, call call, button raises, sb calls, I cap! turn brings a harmless 4 I think. SB checks, I raise, fold fold, BUTTON RE Raises 16, SB makes it three bets, I call, BUTTOn caps it. for 32. I then say to the button you called with J10. In any case i make crying calls on the river for only one bet, sure enough Jack 10. I told the table thats it im going home, I cant take this. The poker manager then comes up to me and sympathizes with me and offers to pay for my uncle and my fare on the ferry boat back to Seattle. So thats my story, now as I write this im watching some show with Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz MMK, cool love story so far.

FUCK YOU QQ!!

AK--the most dangerous hand in poker

The best STARTING hand in poker, but sometimes we all play them like two beautiful aces. As I was on the way to work, I was contemplating what would be the best way to play AK in the long run. I've decided that it would be now be wise to always play them agressively pre-flop and take it from there, no matter how the cards fall should you be forced in an all in situation. "Its better to be one way or the other, there is no middle road when playing NL poker" So with that quote is the mentality I will take to the table next time I play, that is of course the game plan, but as we all know with poker it greatly depends on situations and timing. How to exploit, when to exploit, can the situation/players be exploited are all things one should consider when sitting down at the table. So in other words, dont take the middle road when playing AK
