Update On the Sizzessions

Backyard Beer-a-ment

Man, in all honesty I couldn't have asked for a better set-up then this tournament. Everyone was drinking. The structure was slow and great. The players were bad (with a few exceptions). The buy-in was $50 and first-place was $900. I really was on cruise control and built my stack despite losing some MONSTER pots. The first one, I had AK and pushed against a raiser. One player called (had him easily covered) and so did another (had her covered too). I was up against AhQh and Qs10s. So I have them dominated and what happens? The hearts flush hits and a 10 hits the board, so I lose the main pot and the side pot. I rebuild my stack only to lose a huge pot to a rivered flush draw against the second biggest stack at the table when we're down to 10 people. I had AK, Ace hits the flop with two hearts, you know the rest. So I ended up bustin out 9th with five places paying. There were about 25 people and about half of them rebought. It was a lot of fun though, but I should have won it.

Anyways, -$60 to a home tourney.

Hollywood Park, Saturday afternoon

Well I went straight from the home tourney to HP and promptly lost my ass off. Played too loose, called too many pre-flop raises and pretty much stunk it up. I don't even remember any hands. I know I didn't hit any, lol. I played for about three hours and had to leave at 930p to go to the movies. Saw "Vacancy," which was actually pretty decent. I jumped once. So anyways at HP I lost two buy-ins, $400. Shit now I remember some hands. I had AhQh in the blind, I raised to $30. One guy calls. ONE GUY! Flop comes JJT. We both check. Turn is a king, but putting three diamonds on the board. I bet $30. He calls. I say "Did you flop a full house on me?" He laughs. Turn is a blank. I bet $30. He raises $200. My dumb ass calls and he shows JT for the flopped full house. Definitely should have folded but his $200 bet was so much I thought he was stealing. I was wrong as ever. Lost $400 in this session.

Hollywood Park, Monday night

Yesterday I started my new running/scheduling plan and it went well. I ran after work and then showered up and went to HP and got there around 10 pm. I got to a table that was tight as HELL. The table literally folded the first five hands I saw to the blinds for chops. I couldn't believe it. The funny thing is, everyone was complaining about the action and no one would play. I started raising in position, getting a couple callers and betting big on the flop. I pretty much ran the table over and probably won at least 12 hands without having to showdown cards. The pots were small due to the table character but I left after less than a couple hours and won $171, which I was very happy with given how tight the table was. I'll be back soon.
