The, overbet to a fish


 Guy is 28/19 87hands  , Yea He could have hit a straight on the turn ,but I think he calls with anything lol.

What ! not again Grrrr


Yea , so Dec started off where I was winning again but at lower stakes , then on Friday Dec 14th I go to log into my act and get this message below .
           Really ? We just went through the Black Friday Thing with Full Tilt and my $1,500.00 is still locked up  and now this . So I go to the link find another preferred partner which is Carbon Poker on the Merge Network  , I setup a new act there then Email there Support. And wait , hmm nothing so Email them again and again then they send me a follow up LKblahblah blah ref # and wait .So finally like three days later they transfer all my funds but then I have to ask about the 35% Rakeback I was getting from RPM . And same thing wait then a couple days later They say I have my RakeBack 35% and vip points transferred . I hope things are settled for now . And at least I am still able to grind some poker . Very disappointing being a US Poker player right now .  Hope everyone enjoys there Holidays and spending some time with Relatives and Family the next few days .  Thanks , Chris

Sugar Ray Concert And some Poker

                                                   " Picture taken from my phone"
So Sugar Ray is a 90's band that came to Spirit Mtn Casino Friday Night. The wife and I went for the weekend and had a blast , great seats 10rows back and in the middle . For Mark Macrath being 44years old he did a great job . He likes Boxing so he named his Band Sugar Ray After Leonard . They play songs from one end of the spectrum to the other.
                                                       From this type of music 
                                                                To this type

     After the concert wife went and played the slots and I played some $1-3nl . Only bought in for $120.00 made around $135.00 then stopped for the night . Next day we did some outlet shopping in Lincoln City Oregon , then went out on the beach for a short time it was cold, and  ran back up to get a spanish coffee to warm us up.  Then went and played more poker lost about the amount I won the day before so broke about even.




The Wife And I at the Beach Freezing lol





So one amazing thing I seen at the table was this hand . I put it in the replayer might not be 100% exact stack sizes , but the guy with the best Hand mucked  it on mistake.
                     
Well The guy with two pr K/3 said on the turn really all-in? you on a draw? And the other guy says nope I don't need the draw I have the best hand your on the draw. So the guy calls and river comes 3 and he yells yea full house baby , Well the guy mucks his 10's full and the guy with 3s full pulls in pot and says what did you have ? And the guy says, well I had you beat till the river , I had a set of tens .LOL everyone at the table is like nooooo Wayyyyyy? You had the best hand and the guy says no I just had three tens . And we say ,yea you filled up 10s full lol so the look on his face is like what the heck did I just do. And the guy said you really had pocket tens ? And he said yep. So the guy says here man we chop it , the guy said no it's my own fault I mucked them .No I am fine  . Then the dealer says you can't give him your chips you have to do that outside the table . So the guy pulls out a $100.00 bill and says sir here man I feel horrible .

 The gentleman said no son, thanks but my fault . So he buys back in for like $70.00 and losses it pretty soon after . And the guy said ok good playing take care but the other guy refused and said sit back down I want you to play . here's $100.00 and kept arguing so the guy finally says I'm not gonna refuse the tenth time so he sits back . He gets QQ about ten hands later and loses but left very plesantley . The other guy was a recreational player just having a good time also he played almost every pot, well prob every pot lol . He was up to like $800.00 at one point and was so happy, he's like look at this, look at all these chips how does this happen. But later on about an hour he had about $400.00 or less . I wish I could have stayed longer.

But in the back of my mind I was thinking ,would feel kind of bad to felt such a good hearted person . We all told him when he was giving the guy the $100.00 none of us even seen his hand . But everyone thought for sure the guy had 10s ,the way he took his ball cap off and turn beat red when we were telling him he had the best hand lol. So if you ever get in a showdown playing live poker be sure to just flip those cards over next to you unless you know 110% for sure you have lost . I did something like this similar a few years ago. About a $50.00 pot the guy says he has two pair and I just paired my A with a Q kicker, but me not paying attention that the board had a pair on it I mucked my cards . Then right after that i'm thinking what the heck did I just do. Never told anyone at the table lol. But wait even the best of the best have done it Here's the Great Phil Ivey miss reading his hand
                     
                                              Yep, Phil Ivey can even Do it LOL.
Anyhow we are back home safe and sound hope you enjoyed the story sorry for it being so long .Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables ,

Christmas is already here

So November is over and done . Went ugh ok I guess , and just got a check in the mail from Merge so ended up buying a 24" tv/ monitor sweet.
   So, I have my 17.3" laptop and my new 24" monitor to play online with.
And had a little extra left over to Buy a Sound bar with a subwoofer for the 42" tv I bought with my last poker check.

 So feels like Christmas has already come for me , now I need to start shopping for the wife and kids lol.
