First Casino

Friend (luke) plays poker in my games and is a good loose player. plays online alot and seems to be doing well. well me and him go to the casino to play poker $1/2 blinds w $100 buy in which is a bit weird but seemed to work alright. huge fish everywhere litterally giving their money away, one guy shoved 5 hands pretty much in a row on bluff ofcourse. i hit some great hands but the suckouts were flying. hands are not in exact order...

3rd hand in i get AA
raise to like $12 get a caller or two.
flop J 8 2
i c-bet and a fishy looking guy calls
turn: j 8 2 K
i bet again and he calls, i have around $50 behind
river was a low blank and i shove, he folds and doesnt show

next hand i get JJ and get it all in pf verse a guy who turned out to be descent, but he only had a stay of $40ish so i just 4bet him all in. had QQ

folded alot then get AJs earlyish
riase $10 few callers, 2 of them huge fish
flop: 8 9 T, giving me flush draw, open ender and overcards.
fish bets, other fish all in , me all in , fish all in
hit my outs
dont know what they had, probably just a pair or air knowing these guys.

now i have a good stack like $450 and am feeling pretty good

had a hand verse luke...
limped to me by a couple ppl on the button. i limp w A6s
luke in sb raises to like $8. weird raise as it gets noone to fold and now he has a big pot oop verse like 4 ppl. anyway i call after everyone else.
flop:AKT luke c-bets into everyone which looks pretty strong but i have to call one with top pair in position.
turn is a blank and luke checks, i check behind...im either way ahead or way behind here i think , keep pot small is plan.
river: AKTxQ luke bets half pot and i fold, he shows KJ for pair+gut on flop
just thought this was weird hand and i write it down so i can ask him bout it sometime, makes no sense to 3bet small then fire into 4ppl with a pretty vulnerable hand oop...

fold alot and get AA again.
agressive young guy raises early and i reraise in position $18 or so, we r both deep
he calls and flop comes Kxx with flush draw, he donks $2...
he either has a weak hand but more likely a draw here, id seen him do this before
i raise full pot, knowing he likes to chase/gamble
turn is blank and he donks $2 again
i overbet him all in and he moans some bullshit then says LETS GAMBLE, im happy as he calls
rivers flush ofcourse, i lose like $200

soo i open pot for $12 w KQ and fishy guy to my left calls, he has like $70 flop: KQx , i c-bet and he shoves , i call and flip over top two "gunna need me some runner runner" he says turn and river both come KQx55 he shows K5 for runner runner boat. 0.3% chance of him winning that hand. awesome ...

played this next hand pretty bad, i think that runner boat affected me.
got KK on button and had been some limpers. i make it like $16 and get 3 callers.
flop: AA4 rainbow, well this is a bad flop with all these callers
agressive young guy from earlier bets $7 into like $45 so i just call on button everyone folds.
turn is blank and this time he bets $50
now im thinking that small flop bet ment weak hand earlier but as i just called maybe he is now trying to bluff me off hand. so i call this big bet
river is AA4xT and he checks, i check behind and he shows an A rag. says he thought i was trapping him or something. probably should have folded to the 50 bet looking back just because there was 3 callers and one of these fools is going to have A rag if im holdiong no ace, o well hindsight.

playing this hand like that actually snapped me out of this tempory tilt and i folded a bunch of hands to tighten up, play all around me was pretty crazy so just had to wait for premiums.

solid looking new guy raises early, fish calls and i just call in sb w KQs
flop: Kxx giving me flush draw and TPGK
solid c-bets, fish massive overbet shoves, i call...solid guy lays down worse king than me :(
fish shows AA, which he slowplayed pf for some reason, its a flip pretty much
i dont hit an out, $100 or so lost

have like $80 now ( i rebought $100 in there somewhere)

im in bb or sb and whole table limps, i complete or check w 34o.
flop: A25 flopped nut straight, flush draw possible
i check....checked to button who bets $20, i shove, he calls
he has flush draw and hits , i curse

i leave $200 down but should have been up so much more, o well its poker. luke has a good night, made like $130. i remember he took a bit of a bad beat in there somewhere but some loud drunk guy gave him alot of chips. he even chucked like $30 into lukes stack at one point.

Fun night, plan to go back many times when uni is over!

  1. hmmm dont remember that hand well. My reasoning was probly like, i have KJs. If i hit a flush draw or something i want a bigger pot. Or maybe i just wanted to play a pot vs you. haha. Or maybe. with 5 limpers, I thought why would they limp with high cards, so i have the only high cards, therefore I need value. Maybe a combination of the 3.
