Donkeys on Lay Away

Sorry for not posting in a while readers. The beginning of June was relatively quiet. No big cashes online except for a few 1300$ cashes here and there. Jon and I spent this past week in Atlantic City, mostly at Borgata. 1st of 2 weeks at Summer Open. Jon did very well in cash. I witnessed him make some sick calls. It is truly hilarious how his opponents always try to bluff him. Its funny. If I see a player capable of making strong reads and thin calls, then I will make sure that I have a strong hand or, alternatively play my hand in a way to appear that I have a monster.

In any case, Jon cleaned up in cash, however got super unlucky in tourneys, losing the following three hands in three separate tourneys very early to bust: AA v. 10jos on board of 10 2 2 (guy hit miracle 10 on river), AJ hh on AAJ board with 2 c, turn is Qc, jon loses to royal flush, and third, 24hh on A 3 5 board, guy hits gut shot on turn for two outer because jon had steal wheel draw.

I was luckier than Jon in that I did NOT get super unlucky in my tourneys. I went deep, three out of three that I played, 2 NL events and 1 7-card stud event. I will post hand histories for you later. I need to work on finding more spots to steal pots and build stack. I will concentrate on this week coming up.

Lastly, as to the title of this blog entry. Jon and I were walking on the Boardwalk, goin into stores and started joking around about putting the overpriced stuffed animals on layaway ($15 for little stuffed monkey), and I said, in poker, it is similar. We pay buy ins and when we bust, we are putting the donkeys on lay away. Those donks will pay us off when we have our big cash and we pick up our prize.

Good money and peace,

Lucky C and Ace.
