Hit and run

Went up to Red Rock today for a super short session.  Might have been a short session, but there was nothing short about the huge profit I made.  Less than 3 hours, $800 extra in my pocket.

Kicking ass

Few quick hands to tell you about.  First, I'm sitting at 1/2 waiting for 2/5.  I pick up pocket aces in early/middle position.  2 people limp for 2 bucks and I raise to 15.  Get 3 callers.  Flop comes K-x-x.  I think there was a heart draw too.  Guy leads out for 20.  I raise to 55.  He calls.  Turn is a king.  Really gross card.  He checks to me.  Now I'm thinking I basically have two options.  One, check and call a river bet (as long as it's not too big).  Or two, bet and fold to a raise.  I decided to bet out.  I know that on a turn card like that, I'm just going to lose some money sometimes and I'm not going to shy away from it.  Betting out probably helps me lose the least because I can set the price.  So I bet out $60.  He folded.  Sweet.

So I'm up $100 at 1/2 and I get called for 2/5.  Right away, I get in another big pocket aces hand!  I'm in the blind.  Girl limps, small blind completes, I look down at two black aces.  I raised to 25, they both call.  Flop comes J-9-5, all clubs. I bet out 50, one girl calls.  Turn is a blank.  I bet out 80.  Now she goes all-in for 220 more.  I didn't really know what to do, but with the nut club draw and a reasonable hand besides, I didn't really see myself folding.  So I called.  River was a brick.  I kinda just look at her like... well?  I say I have a pair.  She says she has a pair.  So then I flip mine up and say, I have a big pair.  :-)  She mucks.  Maybe she had an overpair, hard to say.

Mark of the beast

I honestly started to feel bad for this girl.  She obviously should have stopped playing.  She was on SUPER tilt.  Every pot she played, she lost.  I had a couple hands where I had small pairs and beat her. Like I raised with 4-4, checked to the river, she bets out a small bet ($20) on the river, I think for a bit and call, she paired up the deuce and lost.  Or another hand where I had A7s, raised, missed the flop and bet (10 high flop), she called, turned a 7 and bet again, she called, river we both check and my 7 is good.  No matter what, she lost.

Left - tilt girl

This hand should illustrate how bad she went on tilt.  She limps for $5.  Some guy makes it $20.  She goes all-in for $69 total.  He calls.  The cards run out and she obviously didn't hit anything.  She's all talking to herself "I can't win this, blah blah blah" and just throws her cards into the muck?????  Doesn't even show?  Who knows what the other guy had?  That was just insane.  I mean yeah, you probably lost, but this guy simply called a short stack's all in preflop so there's no reason to think he has a pair or even high cards.  It's likely that he does, but it's a $150 pot... I'll turn my hand up at least!

Later I played another hand against her.  I have Q-3 suited in the blind and check.  Flop comes 4-5-7 with 2 of my suit.  It checks around.  The turn is a 3.  I bet out 10.  The old guy next to me raises to 20. She calls 20, and I call the 10.  The river is the 10 of my suit.  I bet out $65.  Old guy folds.  She goes all-in for essentially a min-raise.  I call.  She has J-8 for the lower flush.  Ouch.

I ended up winning $800.  Just a totally sick session especially if you're only talking about playing for 3 hours.  Insane.  The sick run continues!  Up $2400 in the last 4 days.
