The Donkey Show

Saturday 11/19

Happy birthday to me.

We had a tourney at the bar that I work at on saturday aftrenoon.
on friday night we had about 20 signed up. So I get to the bar at 11 for a 12pm start and there are
like 25 people there. we ended up with 32 runners.

1500 chips and 30 min levels. I really never got it going. Got bluffed off of 55 by a donkey that had 22 think i had AK 1 time and that was it for hands. I basically had nothing playable for the last hour. It also didn’t help that I had the chip leader to my left most of the time.

He was someone who would bet the flop whether he hit it or not. He got lucky a few times. but he did end up making the money. but only 3rd.

I played a few sng’s but that is all all weekend. Too much football on sunday.

Atleast the Patriots won again. 2 game winning streak.
Superbowl here we come. Yeah right.

went to foxwoods today.

getting up at 5:30am which is a Drag, But since it is a 1 hour drive and I had to pick up my buddy Rob that is when the day started.
The tourney starts at 8:00. The cost is 45 + 15 so it is reasonable.
you start with 1500 chips and I never really got going.
we had one guy at the table to my immeditate left who got smacked in the face with the deck.
he ran up to 10k about 1 hour in. After making a few failed attempts to steal and losing most of my stack, I ended up pushing all in with A5 for less than the blind and who calls but the big guy with 55. He caught a 5 on the flop and a full house on the turn, IGHN

so since it is only 9:30 put my name on the list for the 4-8 game.
get seated at a new table with my Buddy Rob,
proceed to run my $100 buy in up to about 260 before giving some of it back after 3 hours.
cash out 180 so I made my tourney buyin back.

the play at the 4-8 tables is pretty week, typical hand would see 4-5 limpers in each hand.
even when i would raise would get 5 callers.

we had 1 old guy who would call down with any drawing hand and would shake his head when
he didnt get there pretty funny.

one guy thought 9-3os was a great hand to call a preflop raise with.

all in all i played pretty good shoulda let a few hands go earlier than I did.

peace
