I didn’t cash in the poker tournaments at Tunica but played ok. Busted fairly early in the $50 tournament that my GF gave me. But since I won so much in the cash game early early Saturday morning (see below) $160 buy-in, 104 players. I finished about 25th. Decent, but about 10 spots out of the money.
I had two sessions with cash games at Tunica. Playing $4/$8. First session was lasted about 1.5 hours and I was getting really good cards. There was one really obnoxious player at the table and I took him for about $100 of the $200 that I won.
The second session was a lot longer, about 4 hours. At another $4/$8 table. Again, I was getting good cards, but getting notched. I won some really good pots with some indifferent cards. I flopped a 5 high straight in the big blind (4/3 clubs) which turned out to be the nuts. Two players flopped two pair with A/5 and A/2 so there was a lot of action.
On the bad side, I was dealt pocket Jacks, and the action was heavy pre-flop between me and two other players. There was 4 raises to cap the bet at $20 per player.
Flop Ac/Js/3s, I got trip jacks, 2nd nuts at this time, only losing to pocket aces, with a possible flush and straight draws.
I led out with a bet, and I was raised by both players :eek:, I called and both players raised again. By this time, one player is all-in, so I know the raising can’t get out of hand on the turn and river. I am ‘only’ facing two $8 bets, with a $120 pot in the middle. Pretty good pot odds
Turn: 8 spades Flush draws hits.
I check, player bets, I figure he has the flush, and i have outs, I call.
River: 5 spades, :eek: Now I know there is a flush. I check he bets, and I call, the pot is too rich not to take the chance. He has Ace of Spades and King Hearts. :eek: He hit the nut flush on the river. The guy that was All-in never showed his hand and I never found out what he had. (He was across the table). Lost $56 on that hand. Ugh!
I had so many good hands that got beat, I had aces cracked once, and lost with pocket kings one time as well. I was dealt A/Q more times than I could count, and could never make a hand. but I won enough pots with marginal cards that I won about $70 in that session.
I lost about $100 playing Blackjack and Paigow poker so I netted about $40 when you count the $160 poker tournament entry fee. Not a bad a trip since I came home with more money than I left with :D. It could have been so much better though as first place in the high dollar tournament was ~$5000.
Had steak and lobster on Friday night and that was good.
