I took my poker winnings and headed off to Mohegan Sun. Slappy was already there and shortly after getting there a spot at his table opened up. I moved over. I won a few bucks with QQ. But not much after that.
A spot opened next to Slappy and I moved. I wasn't a big fan of the table. There were 3 friends who completely soft played each other. They'd bet other people out of the pot, than stopped playing showed what they had and checked down. No one said anything (including me- this was the first time I witnessed anything like this- next time I will say something) including the dealer.
I continued to do very little and lose chips. At one point I had top pair with a flush draw. I got there and doubled up to back even. Unfortunately, I donked off most of my chips wih KJ on a board of K74. I called a tight player down every street when he flopped a set of 4's. I sheepishly folded and said I flopped 2 pair.
In the end I lost my first buy-in on a "bad beat.". Though I was short so I didn't have enough to make the guy fold. My second buy-in, I bought in short. Never got a had and took another beat because I got short and my opponent figured he wouldn't lose much if he called me.
I took the beats well but was tired and didn't want to waste my final buy-in, so I walked around for an hour, than left. I love that the poker rooms are smoke free, but forget the rest of the casinos are not. By the time I got home I reeked of smoke. Yuck.
That's been all my recent poker. I may head out again soon, but try Foxwoods. I haven't been there in about 2 years.
First, we're heading to visit my family in Florida, so I'll probably play at Ocala Pokerroom again.
I'll post if I do.

Casino Night
In Between
In Between week 15 & the final week, I played in Slappy's home game. The structure bothered me more than normally, but I think that has more to do with the fact that I haven't won there in a while. And ultimately the games are about hanging out with friends for a few hours. If you bust out early a new game is only an biur away. They introduced a new twist... Bounties. Each person pays an additional $5 that you give to the person who busts you.
As I stated, I didn't do much and only got 3 bounties all night.

The End is Nigh
I know it's been a while, but better late than never, right? Week 15 ended good for me. Host was out first, followed by Tilty. I'm out next and Drunky and New Kid battle heads up and Drunky taked it down. The good news about the night is that I gain even more points vs the host.
Technically, I also lock up second place. Host is 9 points behind me, but so is New Kid. Basically, if they can convince Muscles to bring his pussy-whipped ass back for a game (in his defense I think he's dating a former playmate), I go out first, then Host or New Kid have to win. Winner gets enough points to beat me and the other doesn't thus getting me 2nd.
Muscles doesn't show, so I clinch first without even having to show. Second time in a row. I would prefer if, each time, the people who agreed to play the season, played the entire season, but I definitely benefited from having people quit the game.
In the end, as usual, Host, New Kid and I are the last 3. I finished 3rd and I think New Kid wins, taking 2nd overall.
While I want to play again, 16+ weels is a long time. I'm taking a "season" off.
