Counting Girl goes off!!

So I was busy yesterday and had to work a deal late, so Counting Girl takes a break from work and hits the Choctaw. She calls me and she has cashed out $250. YES, she has stuck to our game plan and cashed out and went back to work. I'm working my gig so she goes back after work. She is there quite a while and calls me about 1am and says she has cashed out again for $287. A pretty good night. We are headed back in a few minutes. I have another gig tonight so we'll just do about 6 hours.

Update. Counting Girl and I went back this afternoon. I started on the 1/2 and just could not get a break. I went down about $200 and it was time for a change. I went to the 4/8 limit and the table was ripe. I got back to even and was glad to get there. Counting Girl continued her winning ways and was up $80 at the 1/2/5 so we decided to leave. We'll go back tomorrow so another update to come.

Winstar $1,000 weekend!!!!!!

Counting Girl had her ladies tournament Saturday night, so this was a good opportunity for some of the guys to head to Winstar. The big Red River Roundup or whatever it is called now is Sunday so we figured the action would be good. We weren't wrong.
The poker room was full, we got there about 1pm and little did we know we would have a 15 hour session making it home around 6am.
Shamrock, Rob and myself headed out about noon for Winstar and had a good drive to Winstar. I start on 4/8 limit and immediately get up about $150 and then just tank from there. Played some 1/2 and got on a 5 to 6 hour dead card ride. There is nothing fun about that. Played and won 1 hand in the span. Didn't lose much cause I wasn't playing but it was no fun.
Rob and I decided to hit the buffet and on the way Rob puts some money in a penny machine. He hits like 40 quantrilla pennies which is something like $3. He tells me to spin it and I hit a button and he says no, the maximum!!!!!! Too late, it's spins, all kinds of whistles are going off and we have no idea what's happening. The ladies sitting near by start trying to explain what's happening but we gots no idea. We know Rob is either rich or has maybe $5. After all is said and done, Rob cashs out $120 on the machine and pays for the buffets. Thanks Rob, the best kind of buffet is a free buffet.
Back to the tables, I get on a 1/2 and start to hit a few hands. I hit a good one. I flop top pair with 8's and I have A8 spades with high pair and a flush draw. I ain't going nowhere. Two people in hand with me and one is betting hard, next guy calls $30 and so do I. Turn is a blank and he bets $50 and the other guy calls. Ok, just like last weekend and take this lesson to heart kiddies. When you bet $30 on the flop and then$50 on the turn you are semi weak. You like your hand but YOU AIN'T IN LOVE WITH IT!!!!! I call as the pot odds are clearly worth it at this point and I have high pair with the A high flush draw. Well BANG! I hit the flush. Both guys check, check and bet $25 figuring I'll get one call. I do and drag in a good pot.
As time goes on I'm mixing it up with an asian guy and we are talking quite a bit. He is commenting on my play quite a bit, he can't figure me out. He has the boat on the river and I have the flush. He only bets $15 and I only call. I show and he can't believe I didn't raise. Hold on to your tights Hong Kong Suey, I gots something for you and it ain't sushi.
He is lose and has a stack of around $700. We mix it up and mix it up until it is touchdown time. I gots pocket Kings. I raise $20 and he calls. flop is 6,6,Q. He bets $15 and I call. Turn comes a 9 and he bets $25 and I call. HKS is setting me up for the kill. River card is a ....................................K. Well HOLY FIRE BREATHING GODZILLA!!!! I gots the boat. I get to mouthing with HKS and I tell him, "you ain't calling this $50 so go ahead and fold".
Then the words heard around the world and was music to my ears. "ALL IN"!!!!! I insta call and flip those flippin pocket Kinds over and you should have seen that sinking feeling on the face of HKS. Man it was priceless. I asked him if I played that hand right and he said yea you did. I said HKS I like you, your a gambler and there's poker players and then there's gamblers and that's what I am. He didn't say much and then I gave him the serious look and said, "if you stay here much longer I'm going to get your whole stack"! He didn't have much to say and left about 15 minutes later. I got up to $850 after starting with $100 and then got my aces cracked on the river with a flush draw. I'm still looking for the $1,000 weekend for a cash game. I went and cashed out $663 for the night and left with a good feeling. Shamrock did pretty well and we're still not sure how many pennies Rob ended up with but it was a great time. Until next time.

Buck Neked and a Lying lawyer

Got back to Choctaw about 5pm again today and things where much better. Got on a good 1/2 table and was sitting there for a while just piddlin. FINALLY, I get a break. The day before I had been folding on hands when I had pot odds to call even with crap crap for a hand. If I had called those I would have hit big hands on a couple of them. Not my nature to fold those kind of hands. Today I get Q3 of clubs and there is a raise of 15 and then 3 callers. Well, I gotta call. The flop is Qs,3s, 8h. Girl in 1 position bets 30 and everybody folds, so I call. Js on the turn, I'm like crap but I don't figure her for the flush and I'm think Q with a good kicker. She bets 55. Ok, this means she likes her hand but isn't in love with it. I figure I have her read right and ALWAYS TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! I mess around for a minute counting chips, I know she will call an all in so I do it. ALL IN for $130 more. She looks a little puzzled and call me. The river is a blank, I turn over the two pair and she shows A, Q! Just as I thought.
Now it's time to follow our rule #1 of Choctaw and I get up from the table after hitting a big hand and take a break with Counting Girl.

When I got back a guy sits down with $200. I immediatley get into a hand with him and on the river I ask him if he has the straight. He says no, I do so I call him and he has the bigger straight. I said to him you lied and he said that he was a lawyer and what do you expect. I told him that I figure that even lawyers take a day off from lying but I guess it must be only on Sundays.
Few hands later I get AA. Time for the lying lawyer to go down. I raise 20, lying lawyer calls. flop is 559, I bet $50 and he calls. The turn is nada, I bet $100 and he calls. WHAT THE HELL!!! The river is a 2 and he immediately folds his hand and he was on a flush draw. TIME FOR ANOTHE BREAK.
A couple of hands later I cash out for $470 and buy back in to another table. Not much action, so I cash out another $7 dollars and finish off a nice weekend.
Counting girl was down a little today but we had a great time. Looking forward to next weekend.

One More Weekend

Played a few hours last night at Choctaw. Both of us where up and down playing 1/2 5. Gonna head back in a bit to try it out again.

Choctaw "WOW" Weekend

What a weekend. Great times with friends and good poker. Choctaw Casino Resort is really treating us well lately. Not so much in the amount we're winning lately but their hospitality. Can't say enough good things about them. Stayed all weekend and got a lot of comps. They are very accomidating now days.

I think I have a new name for QQ the Sigfreid and Roy hand. I'm sitting at a 1/2 table Saturday night and it's about 2am. I've been up and down, up and down nursing about $80. I've been frustrated to say the least as the table was ripe. So I raise to $12 preflop and get a raise and then a call on my right. I figure ok, this is it, hit this hand or go back to the hotel room and sleep. I push all in for $80 total and get two calls. OH CRAP!!! But, knowing this table I feel ok about it really. Flops out 2 4 8 rainbow. Check check, alright, I feel ok so far. Another 4, ok. Another 2 on the river. I look to the kid on my right and say do u have me beat and he says no, he shows 10 J. Hmmmmm, ok. Other guy is sitting there with that grin on his face and I start to sweat. He finally throws over his hand and it is pocket 3s. POCKET FRIGGIN 3S!!!! You must be kidding me, I almost thought for a second I was beat but he didn't draw the straight. A sense of relief came over me and as I was dragging the chippies in I said to him " If you had beat me on that hand I would have run through the Casino to my room screaming at the top of my lungs in my loudest most blood curdling Bangi Indian War Cry you've ever heard and gone into my room and get BUCK ASS NAKED AND TAKE A BIG OLE CRAP WITH YOUR NAME ON IT"!!Dude to my left says "BUCK ASS NAKED"? And I said damn right BUCK ASS NAKED, hairy ass and all and take a big ole crap with that dudes name on it.

WELL, needless to say the table behind me couldn't believe what just happened and looked a little perplexed, the dealer at my table had tears running down his cheeks from laughing. The other players looked like they were trying to imaging what it would look like me running through the casino screaming at the top of my lungs to only get to the room and get plum BUCK ASS NAKED saluting the player to my right!!!! First it was the j 4 that I was famous for at Choctaw and now I'll say beware of the BUCK ASS NAKED hand cause it is my new favorite hand. And if you ever see me running across the casino screaming, just beware, very aware of what is about to happen! :}

Gretchen Wilson was awesome us usual. If you've never seen her check her out. You really missed a great concert and Pookie was missed by all. We had great seats and look to go back for other concerts.

We played a whole lot of poker, mostly up and down and finished down some but had a great time this weekend. Soooooooo until next time this is BUCK NAKED signing off!!!!!!!
