Greektown Trip Report

Ok all just got back from a 4 hour greektown trip here. 4 hours later and 6 heart attacks later this was by far the most disgusting table i have ever sat at in my life.

First off i sat down and half my table was absolutely shitfaced with one indian kid that was just TERRIBLE at poker. For the first 5 hands i sat out i watched him push all in with A 6 suited...A 9 offsuit...and floppin open ended draw. So off the bat i have no respect for any of his raises. After about 2 hours he was in for $700 or so.

First hand in question...
4 limps and the button makes it $17. (I was down to $50 after i called a $40 all in with J10 suited after 4 people made the call. I flopped open ended but couldnt connect against 55). Anyways so the button, who has raised 4 pots in a row and shown down J 6 off & K 5 off, has about $300 in front of him so i just push for my last $50 and he makes the call like i thought he would and shows 55. Dodge the flop but he bones his 5 on the river....REBUY!!!!!!!!!

Buy back in for $100 as this is the max buy-in at this table. Get back down to $40 after 99 doesnt hold against AK all in pre for a $100+ pot...when the next hand comes into play.

I get aces in the BB when the tightest guy at the table makes it $15 to go in the cutoff and i just push my last $40 in with rockets and hope they hold. He shows KK. HONESTLY i stood up and grabbed my hoody to pack my shit cause i knew what was coming. Flop sure enough K high and i nonchalantly say good playing guys cause it was surely expected to hit. Turn blanks and river my 2 outer ace and scoop it. JUSTICE i love it.

So after a few hands im back down to $70 or so and this comes up...
I get 55 UTG so i limp. A few others limp and loose ass from 1st hand makes it $15 from the button. The big blind calls (he has about $500 in front of him) so i call to see if i cant flop a set and triple up. Flop comes A J 5...BINGO. Checks around...wtf great im not getting anything out of this. Turn comes 9...BB bets out $25 and i push in my last $55 when the button makes it $150 to isolate and the BB folds. Button shows AJ and thought he trapped lol thanks buddy and im back up to $170 or so.

Ok here is the key hand to the entire night...
I get AK off in mp with two limpers in front of me i make it $17 to go. Loose guy from previous hand above calls and UTG limper makes it $47 total. Hmmmmm a limp reraise. I narrow down to POSSIBLY a big pair but he's not that good so i flat call not wanting to risk it on just a coin flip just yet. I elect to flat call and re-evaluate after the flop. Button calls too. Flop comes A high with 2 spades. Button boy leads out $75 and original limp raiser clown thinks about it for 10 seconds or so and flat calls...now i KNOW im 100% ahead here. I insta shove for $50 more. Loose boy insta mucks his hand and UTG guy regretfully throws in the $50 and flips QJ spades..WTF? So now i need to doge a spade. Wouldnt you know it turns his fucking flush and i about flip the fucking table over. Monkey jumps up and screams SHIP IT!!! But wait i have a redraw...BAM fucking 10 of spades on the river and i quietly sit back down and scoop the $350+ pot without saying a word...because im better than that.

I go smoke and tell pimp the good news of me actually WINNING at greektown and not getting bad beated to hell. I sit back down flop a set with 33 and get paid off a little bit and am up to a $450 or so stack.

Next hand in question i pick up 10s UTG and make it $15 to go. 2 callers and short stack guy shoves for $50...1 players shoves for $45 and another guy FLAT CALLS (just sat down with $100 stack and first hand he's played so no reads) and now i have a big decision to make. My first instinct is to isolate and get it all in so we can see all 5 cards...which prolly was the right decision BUT i elected to call the $50 and see what the flop brings and maybe save myself $50 if overcards hit. Flop comes 444 and homeboy shoves for his last $50 and i IMMEDIATELY know im beat but the pot is already about $300 so getting 6:1 on my money i regretfully push in the $50 to see him with AA and drawing to 2 outs...BLA i hate pot odds. Turn is K river BAM 10. My first suckout in the past 4 months of going to greektown and might i say it feels FUCKING GREAT. I bought the guy a drink and apologized cause i hate that shit when it happens to me.

Last hand in question was me being a fucktard and straddled for $4. Tighter guy makes it $14 and it folds to me. I look down at AJ suited and elect to call and see where it goes. Flop A K 3. He leads $30 at it and i call to re-evaluate on the turn. Turn was blank...he bets $50 and this is where i had a brainfart. 100% beat that bet should tell me but im stupid and elected to call because i thought he might be pulling a move on me when he wasnt capable of doing so lol. River blanks and we both check and he shows AQ. I got up and left 2 hands later after that hand as i was gettin tired and shit.

So all in all my luck definitely changed tonight not good enough to hit the $80K bad beat jackpot but good enough to take $375 or so profit out of there. DEFINITELY feels good to book a live winning session with the way shit has been going lately for me. Anyways off to bed now as i have to get some sleep so i can be ready to take down the KZOO tourney tomorrow night. I should have a full tourney report on that sometime sunday or monday.
