So been a little while since my last post. A lot has happened in the poker world and I have some thoughts I will share for all my loyal readers out there who I know hang on every word I say. First though, updates on my play.
1. Still not over my WSOP event and probably never will be.
2. AZ State Poker Championships quest has ended. Never really got going. Played 3 satellites and finished 5th in all 3. First one as previously mentioned I was a card rack but one bad hand and then a sick beat and I was out. Next 2 I literally played 4 or 5 hands total. Never got anything going. So done trying.
3. Ring games at Casino AZ were very profitable at first. Won over $500 in about 3.5-4 hours of play in a week. Put $330 of that back in for the satellites and then went back with the final $200 and lost that. Lost $100 relatively fast (key hand, flopped middle set of jacks, lady flopped top set of queens but thankfully she was shortstacked and only lost 6 bets to her...knew she had it to but had to pay off.) Did win very small side pot with donkey who turned top pair and had open ended str8 draw. Then bought in for my last $100 and quickly won my $100 back and built up a $80 profit and then in the next 4 hours won 1 small pot and that was it and lost it all. So done with live poker till I visit NBA and we hit up Pechanga...
4. Which is a great segway into the WSOP ME. Jery Yang of Temecula won the WSOP ME and $8.5 million. He won his seat at Pechanga for $225. He claims the lord helped him which is great and leads me to believe that if I prayed at the table, that dam ace wouldn't have hit to knock me out...told you I'm not over it.
5. I'm a stickler for poker etiquette and had another slow roll happen to me this time in live action at casino AZ. I raised utg with A10 and get reraised by SB to 12. I call and we see a flop with A high. I check call him all the way down and immediately turn over my A10. He stares at my cards and the board (No str8 or flush possibilities)for at least 10 seconds then tables his AA for top set. I didn't say anything because I had heard stories about this guys temper and just left it at that. He left soon after and the lady and guy next to me both immediately commented about his slow roll. Nobody was sad to see this guy leave. I hate when people do this. He had the nuts and took way too long to show his hand. I'm not upset I lost the hand, just upset by his actions. I just don't understand people like this!!
6. So time for amazing bad beat jackpot story. The same table (4-8 table) in the span of 5 hours hit the bad beat jackpot twice at Casino AZ. First time was for over 19k and the hand was AA vs. KK and the flop cam Akk. Second hand not sure but that jackpot was for 7500 which is the default beginning at Casino AZ. What are the odds the same table within 5 hours hits the jackpot. BTW, qualifying hands I think is at least Aces over 10's beaten by quads or better.
7. Good news, I can still deposit through Wells Fargo onto PokerStars. Bad news, I dropped $200 in one day like a donkey. JJ kept failing me every time. I should stop playing that hand.
