Session No. 65 Cache Thurs Night (12/13)

4/8-Kill: TP = +$540 TSP = 5 Hours

Hmmm...I ran good tonight? Let's see, I won the aces cracked promotion a couple times (aces cracked wins a rack), and then ran like a God the rest of the time. I'll be back later. Thanks again Tony for driving...

When I post again tomorrow I'll be back to talk about these hands:

KK vs AQ against Dominic in a kill pot
QT of hearts kill pot
99 in a kill pot
_____

Alright well Tony and I got to Cache around 5:30pm or so and barely made it into a 4/8-Kill game, saving it before it broke. We played four handed for about five orbits just to keep the game going, then finally some players came back. Oh, and they had a quad threes promotion running until 6pm...

Anyway, this guy named Chili (hopefully that's how he spells it) sits down and posts the BB after being gone for the entire time we had been there (so maybe five orbits). Anyway, the flop comes A23. This guy in seat six named Dominic talks about how this guy has flopped a set of threes twice already and was wondering if he had done it again. Chili just nods and laughs. The turn is a blank. Chili checks, seat five bets, Chili calls. Right before the river card comes out I yell for a three..."three!" The three hits and it goes check, check. I'm all stoked because I called for a three and it hit...then Chili flips over pocket threes for a $2500 jackpot. So sick. Had we been five minutes later, this guy would have come back to an empty table, instead now he's getting $2500. Oh and he checked it down because the hand must go to showdown to get paid...kinda lame I know...but whatever.

Alright well after this happens I end up tangling with Dominic alot for the next hour. We were across the table from each other (I'm in seat 2, he's in seat 6), and we always seemed to be in each other's pots. Today I was getting the best of Dominic, as I had been outflopping him with my AK vs his QQ and JJ, and Tony was also winning which did not help matters. He called us both "tight" and he even called Tony "Scrooge" because Tony wouldn't complete his SB with 26os LOL...still, he was steaming cause he was getting destroyed. Anyway, this hand comes up where I flop top two pair with AT, and Dominic goes runner-runner diamonds with his A:d:6:d: for a flush.

Very next hand is Dominic's kill pot (because he won two hands in a row), so now he's posting $8 in the SB. I'm somewhere in MP, and I look down at KK. I playfully say "steam raise" and put out 16 yellow chips. Dominic is my only caller and we see a flop of...

Flop: K55

Ha...whoops. Now like I said before, me and Dominic have way too much history at this point for him to just check/fold this flop, so he checks and I fire out an $8 bet. I know I'm unbeatable at this point, but I want him to play back at me. He calls. Hmm...good start.

Turn: A

Now before the turn card hit, Dominic says "you bet again, I raise you." "You promise?" I asked him...he checks, I bet, and he announces a raise and shoves out 32 chips. "Really? Okay call."

River: 9

He bets out $16 and I raise him double-fisted this time. "Ace-king? I guess that's the only cards that beat me...okay I call." I showed Kings-full and he begrudgingly showed AQ. "This guy is too lucky! *ten second pause* But he plays good too, very good."

Awww, can't hate the guy after that. Sheer the sheep, but don't skin them. This guy had been digging into his pocketbook repeatedly, and the stupidest thing I see kids do nowadays is needle guys like this. Dominic likes to talk, so let him talk. I just put on the smile and let my play do the talking. Just be nice to the guy, he's there to play like a fish and drop money, so why needle him into playing better?

After that I ran pretty awesome. I got my aces cracked twice and won a rack of yellow each time, hell I even got one pair of aces to hold. After a couple huge kill pots (the 99 and Q:h:T:h: hands I might talk about tomorrow), I found myself up over $550 in profit. Tony had work in the morning so we played a couple more orbits and called it a night...after a stop by In 'n Out of course.
