Here Fishy Fishy Fishy

It's 1:30 AM and I am posting on my blog. However, I am not drunk right now. Sorry! I just got back from my most successful casino trip EVER! I spent four hours playing poker tonight at Foxwoods Casino. I recently moved to a slightly higher Texas Hold'em limit because I was getting frustrated by a lot of bad play at my normal limit (I don't like it when 7+ of the 9 people at the table play every hand since it is hard to figure out what you are up against). This was only my second time playing the new limit. I sat at a fairly loose table (i.e., a lot of people play a lot of hands). I normally don't like playing at a table like this since it is easy for people playing crappy cards to suckout on you when you play a really good hand, but these players really sucked. Not only did they all play crap cards, but they didn't fold when their hands did not improve. There were so many fishes (bad players) at my table tonight. Why are these people playing '$5/$10 w/ kill Hold'em'? They can't possibly make any money when they go to the casino. The loose play made it very hard (and often stupid) to bluff, but whenever I made a good hand, I won a lot of money.

At one point I had to go ask a friend of mine at another table how much he would have to be up on the night to get up and leave a table of bad poker players. I needed someone to tell me that I should quit before I start throwing some of my winnings away. I was way beyond my personal best for a trip to the casino after only two hours and was unsure about when I should just call it a night and cash out my winnings. I was originally planning to play two hours more than I ended up playing tonight.

I won't post details some of the crazy hands I won since Roop Dogg is probably the only one of my readers who would care, but I only had one hand all night where I made a bad play that cost me more than $15 and one other hand where I got unlucky and lost on the last card. I was just in an incredible zone.

By the time the night was over, I nearly doubled the winnings compared to my previous best day at the casino. While I don't want to put exact dollar amounts in this blog, I can pay for every drink Mouse, Mpls Ju, and I have at the bar when we go out in a couple weeks, buy a digital camera, and still possibly have a little profit left over. That is, unless Mouse and Mpls Ju go nuts at the bar when I buy their drinks! :)

I'm currently hiding an uncomfortable amount of cash in my room right now considering that I showed up to the casino with about $250 of my own money this evening. I don't really want to take the cash to the bank, so I probably won't be using my credit card much for the next month or so I'm still in shock over the incredible run I had today!
