Greektown Suckouts
Napalm's YTD: $12,898.52
Went to Greektown Casino in scenic downtown Detroit last week. Sat down at the $100 max buy in NL game. It was like playing 3-6. Everyone in every hand, no matter the raise. Needless to say, I didn’t enjoy my four consecutive river bad beats, until I went all in for $100 with QQ vs., get this, 10 7, A J, and KK. Q 6 6 on the flop made my night a break-even.
I did have a really good gyro though…
Online update:
Played in a $20 Stars NLHE multi, placed 4th and took home $1350. Runner runner flush did my JJ in.
Playing in my first ever $5 two-table pot limit Omaha tournament and placed second for a cash of $27. When I was heads up at the end, my opponent said something like, "It was obvious the best two players made it to the end” Then I said. "Yep, I agree, and since this is my first PLOH tournament, I feel I have tremendous upside potential." He then proceeded to clean my clock.
Played in my first ever Quadruple NLHE shoot out on Stars last night. $10 buy in, 6 player tables, winner of each table moves to the next round, winner of the fourth round wins a main event WSOP seat. I napalmed my first two tables with little effort. On my third table, I got AK on the button, raised 4 times the BB and got reraised by the SB. I called the reraise. Flop came A 3 3. SB checked, I bet out $400, SB called. Turn was a 9, I bet out again about $800, SB reraised all in. Did he hit his miracle set of 9s? No, of course not, that would make too much sense. SB had A9. I was stunned. Needless to say, SB got busted out in the next couple of hands. A General in the Army of Retards. I am still mad about that one.
Came in 38 out of 432 in the $150 NLHE multi on Stars and won $250. I had been playing VERY tight and doubling up with strong hands, when I get KQ one off the button. I raise 4x the BB, button folds, SB goes all in. SB was a super aggressive player who was capable of making that move with any two cards. I figure at worst I am up against A nothing, so I am a 3 to 2 dog. At best, he is making a move with a weak hand like KJ or QJ. If he has a lower pair, I would be happy. So I call. He has A 8 and it holds, of course. That is the second time this week KQ was the death of me. I don't really mind my call here; I would do it again in a heartbeat against that type of player. A win puts me in the top 5 and a good shot at the real money.
The adventure continues....
