Lots has transpired since I last wrote. First of all- I am on my super A game in cash- winning $400 pots with 2nd pair because macho guidos think they can push the "girl" around- its quite fun! One guido, who tried to say the word telepathic when he sucked out against his opponent, and was attempting to joke about his clairvoyant abilities, says "Wow, I am quite Tele-pathetic" I almost died laughing. It was hilarious.
Anyway, the Borgata Open started a week ago. So far, I have played the $350, $550 and $1080 event. I bubbled the 350 when my AA got cracked by 77s, who was all in for no apparent reason, with 25 bbs, and I picked up AA in the big blind, so what can I do? Oh well, 7 on the river, gg me. Our roomate, Dragon, placed 70/1700, so he got paid which is good. I busted out of the 550$ w KQ v. AQ, on a Q hi flop, but I only had 9 bbs left, so I really had no choice.
In the 1080$, I believe I adjusted well to the play that I was experiencing in these tournaments, and was able to use my experience and all the arsenals, like defensive betting, check raising, limp reraising, etc at the appropriate times, to build a nice stack. I played a hand great, where I limped with K10 hh, a guy in late pos raised, I had a big stack so bb called and I called. Flop was Q rag rag, checked to orig raiser, who bet 1/3 of the pot. I called, and fired into him on the turn for 2/3 of his stack, and he folded. I was pretty sure he was empty. In any case, my good play and not getting unlucky for two days got me 43rd place $2100 cash out of 740 players. I busted out when I flopped top pr, turned top two and my opponent hit his draw on the river. It was so unfortunate, but I believe I played great.
Jon has been on sit n go fire. He has cashed in two out of two sng s and has been playing phenomenally in cash. Tournament time is so fun and exhilirating, its so great.
I also played with John Gale in the $1000 event. He was sitting next to me and I didnt even recognize him, lol. He was super curteous and nice- overall a great experience.
Lastly, I played in the Ladies Event yesterday and Jamie Gold's mother was the one who busted me. I raised with KQ suited, she called and bb called. My mistake was not pushing on flop of 6 9 10. It checked around, turn was Kc. It checked to me, I pushed in for 8 bbs and Mrs. Gold thinks and calls with what turns out to be the nuts (what was she waiting for???) and the other chickie folded. Then Mrs Gold says, why did you push? I tried to explain that I cannot fold top pair and a gut shot for 8 bbs, and I have to push and no reason for me to believe my opponents have qj, and if they do, I got unlucky-but my words fell on deaf ears. Before she turned her hand over, she says, I think we are chopping, I just laughed out loud when I saw her hand. She really is a horrible player. This is the reason I cannot have an in depth conversation with her about poker- she just doesn't think deeply about hands.
The series has been fun so far. We are going back tomorrow to play satellites and cash for the big events.
Oh before I forget- CONGRATULATIONS DRAGON- so awesome. Borgata held a $1000 satellite for Super Package- $2500, $5000 and $10k entry. Dragon placed top 6 out of 143 for a win into all three tournies ---- go DRAGON- I am so excited for you!
Anyway, good money and peace, will report more later on in the week!
Lucky C and her sidekick, Ace.
