Played no limit for about five hours yesterday and lost $212. Elizabeth and I went up on the bus and she had a massage and a swim while I tried a $100 max no limit table. I liked the low max so I could stay at top buy in all the while. I did not do well, but I liked the game and my play. I was pretty disciplined and my loses were for the most part a draining.
I lost one all-in bet when I held two pair, queens and jacks. My opponent had trip queens and called my all-in turn bet. I was both betting my two pair and representing a spade flush which I was quite certain he did not have. I was right. His trips meant I was drawing dead.
I bluffed and won one hand, putting $20 against a player who showed some weakness when I only had a pair of 6's. It took him a while to decide, but in the end he put me on a higher pair than he had.
I won one hand with A-K when the Ace flopped. My opponent considered a long time before he folded what certainly I could have beat. But I worried he had a set and was going over the top of me.
In general, the betting was reasonable. There were some very good players and there were some who played more poorly than I did. I liked the table.
The biggest bluff I saw was when the high chip person bet $130 on his pocket queens. Both king and Ace were on the board. He wanted to push the fellow off. K-10 called him with two pair. An amazing bet at this table, probably the most I saw.
Bobby's Bus from Springhill seems an easy way to go. It takes a bit over an hour and the ride is just short enough that it is not too uncomfortable. The seats are just a bit too narrow for a big fellow like me. Luckily the bus was half empty and Elizabeth and I both had our own seats. I go with Jacky on Wednesday so we will see how that works out. The Wednesday trip gives me one more hour of playing time. I will like that better.
The Kass plaza where Bobby's bus picks up had an interesting Paesano's Bakery where we had a bit of decadent treat before we left. I had a poppysees bagel with butter and procuitto that was just delicious. Elizabeth had a crumb coffee cake the was more crumb than cake. I even brought some of the cinnamon crumb home with me.
At the casino I just grab a quick slice of free pizza and keep playing poker. Elizabeth used her $5 to help pay for a poolside margarita. We both had a fine day and were tired when we got back home.
