I love AA, Counting Girl Continues to ravage Choctaw

We arrive at Choctaw Casino after I took Counting Girl to the land to check my traps. The other day I was messing around at the creek and noticed a Bur Oak tree that was huge on the creek. Counting Girl has been wanting a Bur Oak for a long time but I didn't want one in the yard because the acorns are so big. Well after checking the trap I drove by the Oak and showed her that she has her very own Bur Oak, not only that there are a number of them and they are beautiful. She teared up and it was a lot of fun watching her call her mom to tell her that she had her very own Bur Oak tree.
We're not at Choctaw 15 minutes before I get AA. I do my usual $7 dollar raise and this is the best way on a 1/2 table to hit a big hand. I get 5 callers, YES! Flop is J 3 5 rainbow, good one for me and I bet $50 to take it down. Fold, fold, ALL IN!!!!!!! Shit, the guy only has $58 total, and another guy only calls the $58. The guy in seat 7 has a huge stack and I've played him before so I know he has something but I figure he is more speculating that anything. BUT, at this point I realize he has made a great call because I can only call the $58, I can't raise because the small stack hasn't completed a raise. I give a smile and now I know I'm playing poker. I love playing against good players where you have to mix it up. NOW WE'RE PLAYING POKER BABY AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!! So I call and wait for the turn card. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
A of spades on the turn, I've tripped up and now I'm sure I have them beat but there is two spades on the board. All in and the number seven seat calls. I figure the first kid for a set and not to sure about seat 7. I'm hollering in my head to pair the board and there it is. 5h hits the board and it has paired and I have the boat. First kid turn over pocket 3's and he flopped a set and boat on the river. Seat 7 has 3 5 and hit the boat on the river. I have the bigger boat. Yes sir, triple up the first 15 minutes.
I spend the rest of the night pissing away a couple of bucks at a time. Counting girl finally gets on a roll and she is up $300 so we cash out another $400 for the night and end up $713 dollars for the weekend. Not a bad haul considering we were grinding all weekend. Till next time.

Counting Girl humbles the Poker Pro's

Seems like all of my posts lately are about Counting Girl and her success. So, I think I'm going to be her personal body guard, sex toy, toe nail trimmer painter, masseuse and driver.
We headed to Choctaw for the Bounty tournament Friday night, but this was a different night. It was a special bounty tournament with quite a few pro's brought in. The list included Amir Vahedi, Kenna James, T J Cloutier, Kido Pham, Young Phan, Warren Karp, Tom McEvoy and Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh (actress). There are a number of millionaires on that list. We played a while before the tourney to get our bonus chips and I took down $54 and Counting Girl was somewhat a head. Tournament time gets here and the room is a buzz. It was a fun time except that I was totally card dead. Nothing, nada, got pocket Kings and immediately it flops an ace. Guy bets big, I fold and he has AK. Lord have mercy. I lasted to 4 tables as we started with 128 players and then headed back to the cash game. I keep checking on Counting Girl and she is doing pretty well. Pro's start falling, Jenna James is the first one out and Counting Girl puts out 3 guys in one hand for $60 dollars in Bounties.
Two tables remain, Counting Girl in good position to cash. The talk of chop starts and one guy won't do it. Some kid starts raising hell and pisses everybody off so no one wants to chop now.
Counting Girl goes out in 14th place. A great showing for such a big tournament full of millionaire poker pros. She is playing awfully good now days. She puts enough people out to pay her buy in and is not happy but she did well.
I finish up at the cash table with another $65 up. I was up and down all night but made enough to pay my $115 buy in. So it was all good.
Counting Girl has been up and down at cash, but gets on a semi roll and hits the boys for another $300. Of course what's next on the agenda, SHOPPING!!!!!!!!! Counting Girl is out with her mom this morning and buys me a ear and nose trimmer. Very nice gift but I think there is a possible clue to this gift. So I immediately went and trimmed my ears and nose.
Next up, trimming my nuts to see if the trimmer is also a ball trimmer. This should be quite interesting and if you hear a loud shriek come from inside my house..............Well, lets just say it is me and the ball trimmer is hung up, or Gail just caught me trimming my nuts!!!!!!!!!!! Later kiddies, we're headed back again this evening. After I check my snare at the land.
