Foxwoods 10k, trip report
Foxwoods 10k trip report.
Out. What a terrible day at a terrible place. Woke up at noon in MGM (which is awesome compared to the shit hole that is everywhere else in Foxwoods) and got to my table like 40 minutes late. On a side note, every time I come here I get a little lost finding the Sunset Ballroom, mainly because if you end up going one way you are never allowed to loop around. Anyhoo, to poker.
Started the day with a few hands here and there and a seemingly soft table. Seat 2 looked was a solid younger kid, seat 3 seemed solid as well seat 7 was a crazy lag asian and seat 9 was a standard tag. Lots of limping and bullshit, the usual for live donkaments. Anyway, I chip up to around 34k pretty quick and run into my first big hand.
50/100 blinds
Raise 6h5h in MP behind a limp to t400, crazy asian calls OTB (obv), and limper calls. Flop Th4s3h (SHIP IT!) Limper checks, I bet t800, crazy asian makes it like t1800 (maybe t1900), limper folds and I 4bet to t4775. I can obviously call there, but this guy is crazy and don't want to face a shit turn card OOP when he will fire like 100%. So he doesn't even really think and 5bet ships for like 14k more. SHIT! Anyway, no way I can't call there and the only hands I am terrified of at Ah4h or like AhQh or something. I call. The bastard has KcTd. WHAT?!?!?! 5bet 160BB's with KTo, wow, 15 outs twice ship it! Oh wait Qc turn, some blank river. Sweet. Down to 17k.
Hand 2:
100/200 blinds
I have 15k after losing a few smallish pots and raise AKcc UTG+1, however, I am an idiot and think it is still 50/100 for a second and throw 300 out there which obviously turns into a minbet of t400. Nice work Justin! MP calls, BB calls. Flop A65hh, WEEE! BB checks, I bet out t1000, MP folds, BB calls. Ok, maybe a str8 or flush draw, cmon brick. Turn is a Jc. He checks I fire t2400, he calls. Hmmmm... turn is a blank, he checks, I check behind thinking I don't get value out of anything except like a sheepishly played AT and he flips A6 for 2 pair. AWDEWFREFVERDCWEDWEF! Down to 11k.
Hand 3:
100/200/25
Crazy asian limps UTG+1, 3 others come along, the sb calls and I am in the bb with Q5o. My option is to obviously check, I have Q5! Flop Q54cc. I Start the money dance in my head. SB checks, I check, crasian makes it 400 (nice bet sir!), CO calls, BTN calls, I make it t2000. Crasian quickly calls, other 2 fold. Turn 6s. Hmmm. I have t8500 left. Pot is t7025, I ship in for t8500ish (maybe t200) left. He tanks for a minute or so then says "call" and slams down K2cc!!!!! Like really slams that shit on the table and jumps out of his chair. I calmly flip over Q5 and the river... 8c! Hey Justin, Go F Yourself! I get up and leave, good times. Screw Foxwoods (aside from the new MGM which is awesome).
On another side note, with every night I spend in a hotel I begin to more fully realize that I have an addiction to room service. I have ordered so much god damn unneeded food in 4 days here for ridiculous prices it makes me sick thinking about it. Off to Boston tomorrow for the Celtics game then home for the weekend. I have a video coming out soon which will be pretty f'ing awesome, its the final 2 hours or so of the Stars 100k I got 2nd in. On the FT bubble I literally raised about 90% of hands for about 20mins, it was good stuff, just need to add audio and it will be up.
