Finally a live result...Donkfest at the local casino

The entrance fee was steep at 50 bones but took a chance on a Saturday afternoon and took my seat. Got little action with my aces against donkfest cheater (at least I think anyways) who put me on pocket 8's as he said aloud. Yeah pocket eights you moran, well seeing as tho you folded I guess you couldn't even beat that. Later as well I had aces against the same moran who said the same thing again and I'm thinking...well I didnt' have them last time and even if I had them this time if you can't beat pocket eights what the fuck are you doing in the hand?

I couldn't figure this out tho, first the guy ends just before the break all in but somehow his cards get mucked. He says they were pocket aces so they are dug out...ok so he wins the hand and has a fair amount of chips. After the break he was losing hand over fist (mainly because he blows..all in with deuces on a QT8 board yeah ok) but somehow never lost any chips. When he got to the final table or would come back from a smoke break he would seem to have more chips, something funny going on there for sure. I don't think any amount of chips he could steal would have any effect on who was going to win.

Going into the top 3 I had my one major suckout of the tourney. I was getting low and the blinds were huge I moved in with A5s and my buddy Tim called my all in with A7. Flop A25. There it is, little Timmy didn't improve and I doubled up. I think I eliminated him later with the fish hooks.

Heads up I had a huge chip lead, I thought I was a sure thing but the poker gods would have none of that giving my opponent the right cards and the right suckouts to take me down. I had KJ in the sb and put him all in and he turns over KQ. The blinds at this point were way too large and he barely had enough to cover a raise so putting him all in is a moot point. I don't catch and he doubles up. Again I pickup A5 in the bb and he picks up A9. However he doesn't raise outta the sb so I again move to put him all in. He calls and again doubles up.

I'm thinking what the hell do I gotta do here? I picked up pocket jacks and he called with Ax and hit his ace I believe knocking my ass to the curb. Oh well not a bad day 2nd place and some extra spending money. Its hard to know you are the better player and just are getting "outplayed" by the luck of the cards.

There were two girls enamoured by my win..one I'm sure weighed over 4hund the other I'm sure was old enough to be my granny with no teeth of course. I bought them a couple drinks to shut them up and keep them at bay. I think Granny no teeth may have given me an aunt sofie kiss on the neck. That was not what I needed.

However the dealer was another dish entirely. She wasn't real hot (but had that vibe and a hot bod to boot) but I could tell she was diggin' me, laughed at every joke I laid down on the felt as by this time I had out my A+ material after six beer. Yeah I still got it...(haha)

So off to eat with the losers aka my friends and then off to the local casino to take in some 3/6. If you ever need a sure thing and can play patient for a few hours you need to visit our casino. Home of the worst players this side of Canada for sure. Just a taste of what you can expect....

I pick up AKh in MP, I just call as I know how the action goes, it gets around to wheelchair man and he raises it. Now there are four others already limped in this pot, one folds so I pop it again. Wheelchair man caps it and everyone and their dog call. Ok I'm thinking QQ or KK for sure here so I am ready to slow down.
Flop comes QT8. Since I am first to act I just check, Here the pot is so huge that I pretty much have to hope for running hearts or a J. But what have we here a bet from EP, I call MP+1 raises, he calls, I call. Ok this is interesting. I don't catch my J or running hearts and fold on the river. But I get to see what wheelchair man is holding...84o...The others Q8 and Q7 respectively. Hey if you can cap with those hands you are the better man than me.
Nice hand sir.
He did lose to 2 pair I believe so it came with some satisfaction but its nice to see my tax dollars going to a good cause.
Basically at this casino the rule is call with any 2 and when you hit call it down or raise if you hit big (2 pair). I did break even when my K9h hit 2 pair off the flop and the donkinator across from me called me down with A high (and to think I was worried when that third spade hit).
It's so hard for me to play in that casino and remain patient with those donkeys, especially when I'm pretty hammered.
We ended the night meeting up with a bunch of friends at a local pub...oh yeah and a 3am stop at IHOP type of place to end the night even though after the huge meal earlier I think I maybe ate two bites.

One more victory and my Canes are cup-bound. Here's hoping they pull it off. After last night like I said if there ever was a man I could love it would be STILLMAN!!!
