Got to HP and had to wait for a while to get a 200 NL table. When I did my neighbor to my right, who had a big stack, gave me the head's up that the two players to my left were extremely tight and hadn't played in an hour. Immediately to my left was this female about my age wearing sunglasses and an mp3 player. Immediately to her left was a guy also our age, kind of the Ashton Kutcher type and he was spittin relentless game at her. The guy I've played with many times and we're pretty cool. His name is Chris and he is a super senior at UCLA. Anyways, a few hands after I sit down, the chick raises UTG to $25 and everyone folds and she shows aces. Two hands later, she raises again and gets two callers. The flop is 10 high and she bets $50 and gets one caller. The turn is a blank and she puts her caller all in for his remaining $250. He thinks for a while and calls. The river is another 10. He shows Q10 and she shows AA. She then proceeds to berate him for calling and the dealer for putting the 10 out. The VERY next hand, I get 6c9c. Some early position player raises to $15 and I call. Then the chick re-raises to $45. Initial raiser folds and I call with 6c9c. I know that if I hit my hand, which would mean two pair or better, she will double me up. It's an extremely loose call but I can just smell the double-up in the air. Flop comes 9-9-K. Bingo. She bets $70, I call. The turn is a blank and she puts me all in. I call and she says "Do you have the nine?" I answer yes. When she sees my hand she goes crazy and walks away. For the rest of the night she keeps telling me how bad I am and that I suck and that I thought I was good. Throughout the night I determined this female was anal-retentive and she was incredibly annoying but somehow all I could do was just laugh at her. I have never laughed that much in my life. She just kept telling me and other players how horrible we were and what we were doing wrong. Pure comedy.
Another big hand I won was with the guy on my right, Amir. He was probably the best player at the table. He had a big stack and told me he's been playing pro since he graduated in December. He raised pre-flop to $40 in what looked to me like a steal attempt. Four people had limped and he was to the right of the button. I was on the button with 7s6s. I called and one other guy called. The flop came J-5-2. He bet $60 and I quickly called him. The turn was a 4, giving me an open-ended straight draw. He bet $80 and I quickly called. I'm putting him on AK or AQ at best right here. Maybe a low pair but I don't think he can beat the jack, which is why I'm calling him. I want to see if he'll slow down. Sure enough the river comes another deuce and he checks. I push all-in for about $175 and he thinks for a while. He asks me if I have a set of jacks, I tell him no and he asks if I'll show. I say yes (which I wish I wouldn't have said as it's a tell). He folds and I show him the 7 high. The pot was 400, which was nice, lol.
The only other significant hand worth mentioning was with also with Amir. He raised again to $40 pre-flop and I'm on the button with QcJc. I call. Flop comes AQX. He bets $60 and it seemed real weak to me. In retrospect, I should've raised to see where I was at, but I just called. Then the turn is an 8 and for some reason, I don't know why, I knew he hit his set. He fired $70. Even though I knew he hit his set I called, which was stupid. The river was another 8 and he bet $200. I thought for a while and told him I thought he had 88 in his hand and folded. He said he would tell me when I left what he had and sure enough he had quads. He was disturbed that I called his hand out and wanted to know how I read him but I couldn't even pin-point it.
Another hand I had KQ and floped the nuts against AK who wwent all in on the flop of A10J. I left up $650 after three hours exactly and the craziest part was that the KQ and the QsJs were my two best hole cards the entire night! The best pair I got was 77. The best Ace I got was ... I can't even remember an ace. So I'm pretty happy about that. And the bankroll grows... The only thing that sucks is I have to take some money out of my bankroll to pay a doctor bill that went to collection. Whoops.
Not sure if I'm going tonight, depends on friends' plans. I plan on hitting the tables hard this weekend and seeing what happens.
