Monday, Update liveaments

Poker on the live side of the world is still poker just slower and for the most part softer. When playing good and winning the fact that the game is slow isn't the biggest problem ever, but if a guy is losing and not playing optimally the fact a game is slow and can be quite frustrating. I was good winner in a PLO game saturday night and lost a huge pot and then began gambling a bit to much and lost. Sunday night I went to the casino and we got a round of each game going and had a few tourists in the game which kept things interesting but two big hero calls where I was right but wrong kept me loser. One time I had sixes and he had sevens with three over-cards and the other was about the same. Luckily I put twenty in a draw poker machine and hit four aces with a deuce for five hundred on a trip to the bathroom which kept me around even and then when it got late and I felt I was about to start gambling I picked up and went to blackjack and won a few hundred instead of spewing any at the table. All in all I am not happy with my spew Saturday night or the fact I played blackjack sunday but they are both rare occurrences. I knew I was spewing Saturday but kept on anyway and chose a different path Sunday although I don't know if playing blackjack is any improvement. While reflecting back on those two days I just laugh and learn from my mistakes.
Tonight I went to the casino after a text tells me they have a 2/5 game going and I win fifteen hundred in and hour and a half and busted two guys the last hand to break the game. I get into a four way pot for 15 pre-flop with 6h9h and the flop came 5s7cQs and its checked around with me being last to act. Turn is a 8c for 5s7cQs8c board giving me the nuts but leaving two flush draws possible. First guy leads 30 and gets called in two spots then I make it 115. First to act folds, next guy shoves for 300+ and the next guy goes in the tank. After a couple minutes the guy goes all-in for 400+ and then I call with the nuts and the river is a 4h. Guy with 300+ had 4c6c for a straight and a club flush draw and the guy with 400+ had Qc5c for two pair and a club flush draw. The first to act guy said he folded KK and played it poorly. All I know is the miracle 8c on the turn to give me the nuts followed by the blank on the river was pretty magical and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Mostly live poker is going pretty good and I am enjoying all the socializing after spending a year and a few months staring at a monitor. I hope most of you are also able to get out and play some live or are taking advantage of the small fields on carbon. Good luck to all of you.
