Day 9: Friday Night L

Met up with my boys Trev and Matt at the casino. Sat down at the 200 NL and got the wrong iniital read on an old guy at my table, which ended up costing me my stack.

The guy raised every time he was on the button and probably raised three times every circuit, so I tagged him as a loose aggressive player but in retrospect I think he was tight aggressive.

First hand I busted on: I have Q-10, old raiser raises to $15, I call as do three others. Flop comes 8-8-9, everyone checks. Turn is a jack, no flush on the board so I have the nut straight with a possible full house. Everyone checks to the old raiser, who bets $25. I called, someone else calls. River is a rag and I push. Old man calls me with 88 for quads.

Next bust hand I had QJ and old raiser again had raised to $15, I called, as did three others. Flop comes Q-x-x. Raiser bets $50, I push and he calls with AA. GG me, out -$400 at the 200 NL.

Sat down at the $40 NL with my boys just to have fun and hang with them. Table was interesting, not very good and I made +$40. I made my money on AJ vs. KJ and A-10 vs. A-8. Fun playin with my guys and I think my boy Matt will start playing NL, finally so hopefully that will improve his game and we can take out the poker world by next year. One good thing about the 40 NL table was there was an extremely aggressive/sloppy/sorry ass player that kept raising and I told Matt "this is when you say to yourself, 'that's where my money's coming from tonight.' " And sure enough, Matt doubled up through this guy when he hit a set on the flop and the guy bet every street, including the river where Matt check raised him with a full house.

I'm goin to play today, hopefully can put in a solid four hours at the +100 NL and +200 NL tables, then I have a hoop game where I'll play center in the Asian league.
