Playing on Full Tilt (Shameless shilling.... use bonus code: Drizz99 when signing up) I ran KK right smack dab into the twin peaks of AA. Hellooooooooooo nurse! Cool new avatars out there if you are a recent player at Full Tilt, definitely go check it out! I lost a half half stack while playing .25/.50 NL but made a decent read in a three-way all-in pot. A - J - T rainbow board and knowing the initial pusher had the nut straightbut a short stack, I figured I could beat out the second pusher with my ATo who had more money to win a sizable side pot. Sure enough the raiser turned over the straight and the second pusher had JTs. The jack doesn't come and I won the side pot for a profit. A thing that I thought about is... is this an -EV play? Calling all-in knowing you're a big dog to one hand but a favorite vs. another to win a bigger side pot? I'll leave that question to those bloggers who are actually profitable playing this game.
Party had some interesting characters last night as I turned in another barely profitable night on the $50NL tables. AA got cracked by JJ, and top pair with an OESD got rivered by J2 when four to a straight hit the river. My usual start in the hole. But some lucky hits on AK vs. AQ and a small flush turned my short one hour session into a winner. Not to mention someone who ALWAYS check-raised a flop bet regardless of the cards he held. Might be a good tactic vs. softer tight-weak players but getting called down made his stack go from $100+ to $0 in less then 15 minutes.
Felicia IMd me before heading out to a live poker tourney. Let me know how you did!
I checked the weather for Vegas again... now its rain for almost the entire week we're done there. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. Plus 6-12 inches of snow is in the forcast for the next two days here. Grrrrrrrrrr. At least there will be plenty of March Madness to keep me glued to a TV set or 30 inside a sportsbook. I hope the sun does come out while we're in Vegas though, I need a sunburn while sipping on $14 drinks at the pool badly. That and play an obscene amount of poker. Mirage will be the most likely place since its right next to Treasure Island, but I figure I'll run into the sharks there. I think Imperial Palace might be right across the street which has low stakes poker there, including some tourneys.
Ok enough babbling, I can't think straight at the moment since my mind is already set in front of the M and M store, The Fountains at Belliago, and Cheetah's! Well, I've been to Vegas every year for 7 seven years and never been to a strip club while there... am I freak of nature for that distinction? Probably. Maybe some evil minded bloggers will break my Vegas strip club cherry in June.
T-minus 9 hours of work, in my mind I am already on the plane. Now go turn on your real time NCAA scoring websites and cry when your bracket isn't worth the paper its printed on. Go Oakland!
