MilesZS 0 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 One of these days Suited. For me, it has to be a planned trip. I'm down in Lafayette/West Lafayette, IN. Driving up to Chicago is a trip, albeit a small one, that has to be planned first. Plus I'd rather not drive up there by myself, so I have to talk a friend or two into joining me.

Suited_Up 2 Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 They have any tourneys there yet?They have had them for awhile I think. On Wednesdays I think, it's like $85+15 or something like that. I hear the structure blows, but don't they all? I also heard some announcement about Super-Satt's to the USPC.

wannabe 0 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I was just there on Friday night until 5am... what limits do you play, and how often you go up there?Have you ever seen that douchebag w/ the greased back pony tail who always gets pissed when someone beats him in any pot... and gets annoyed real easy... he plays the $200 max game, and I took him for about $300 the other night... it was sweet to see his expressions after some of the hands...

mk 11 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 That place is such a dump. I went once, played $3/$6 for about 3 hours, and felt so dirty I had to leave. Soft table, though. How'd you fare, Kurt? Link to post Share on other sites

Suited_Up 2 Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 So here's how it went.I was at the tightest/passive-est 3/6 table in the whole room I think. Pre-Flop raises maybe every 5th or 6th hand. So the pots weren't too huge. But on top of it... The deck was just crapping on me. I had nothing to play. I could probably tell you all the hands I won. I was there from about 11-3:30 or so. Probably won less than 10 pots... In fact I am almost positive it was less than that. Had one or two guys at the table who pretty much played every pot, and then everyone else dabbled here and there. I mostly sat there and folded my 94o, 92o, 93o, 840 (Actual sequence of hands) I got KK as the first hand I played. Raised pre-flop and got 2 callers. Raggedy flop, and I bet, and they folded. Woohoo!So it continue on like this most of the night, no cards and pretty much down between $20-45 the whole night. Then, while I'm down about $40ish, this hand comes up.Q10s in the cutoff. 2 early limpers. I limp in and the blinds call/check.Flop is Q-Q-10 rainbow. SB bets (he bet everything) One caller, and I just smooth call my nuts, lol.Turn is an 8. Which is good, since I still have the nuts. SB bets out again, this time MP raises. (wow) so I call again and SB calls. (I think SB didn't have much, and I didn't want him gone yet).River is a 9.SB checks, MP checks... I'm like huh? So I bet out. SB raises. MP 3-bets it (all-in), and I cap and SB calls my cap.I turn over the nuts. SB has KJ for the straight. MP has Q9 for the lower full house. I take down a monster and it puts me up $60 for the night.So that made it a decent night, but otherwise I could not catch anything. Here are hands I got. AK- 3 times. KK once. A10- 2 times. QJ once, 99, 77, 22, 33. Never saw, not even once... KQ, KJ, AQ, AJ, JJ, QQ, AA.Anyway... I ended up $60, but my girlfriend was playing and wound up on a completely opposite table. All maniacs. Tons of blind raising and capping with 84o and stuff like that. She got nothing big and ended down $60 and we broke exactly even. So that was fine I guess. Much better than losing.

Suited_Up 2 Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 i just turned 21 and i live in the chicago area. where is the best place to play poker around here?Depends on your limits.3/6 at Trump.And Resorts has a room. But lowest limit is 5/10. That's too high for me, so I haven't been there.And how I fared is above ^Also... I agree, it's a bit of a dump. Not so much the facilities as much as the people, but what do you want in Gary, IN? lol. My girlfriend went on a rant the whole way home about all the dumb hicks and stupid people and so on and so on. It was funny.And wannabe... I haven't played the NL, so I'm not sure who that guy is, but at least you won, lol. I don't go too often really, whenever I have some extra cash basically. It was my b-day yesterday, so I had a bit to spare. Link to post Share on other sites
