Casino Niagara Trip Report
Played there last Thursday. After a 3 hour wait, I finally get seated at a table. I immediately noticed that 5 out of the 10 players are pretty hammered and just having a good time, buying each other rounds, etc. There were also two decent player, one who mentioned he played regularly online....he had a stack of around $800
After about half an hour, I've lost a few small pots after not really hitting the board, and I'm sitting with around $70. Eventually I'm dealt AA on the button. UTG makes it $10 to go, CO calls, and I pop it to $25. UTG shoves (has me covered), CO questions me for 5 minutes as to whether i have AA or KK and finally folds, I obviously snap call and flip my hand over. Board runs out and I take down a decent pot.
For about 40 mins I'm dealt total garbage until I get KK in middle position and make it $10 to go. For some reason, even though I'm the tightest player at the table, I get 5 callers. Flop comes down 862r, and a drunk guy in his mid-twenties who I previously saw ship his stack in with second-pair, no kicker, and suck out with a set on the river, bets $20. I reraise him to $65 total. He asks me how much I have (I had around $75 left I think, can't remember exactly) and within 5 seconds ships it. He has 77. Turn = 9. River = 5. He immediately starts cheering and laughing, while I sit there just shaking my head at what a joke he is, and how frustrating this game can sometimes be.
I re-buy for $100. About 15 minutes later, I'm dealt KK on the button. A laggy player, also drunk, in MP makes it $20, I make it $60. He thinks for a bit and asks what I have. A couple players, who are obviously out of line, tell him "Dude he's the tightest player at the table, it's either Aces or Kings"..........anyways he ships it in and I flip over my KK first, he doesn't show his hand. Flop is QJXr. The turn is a blank. Of course, a beautiful Ace of spades hits the river as he flips over AK. Everyone at the table begins talking about how unlucky I got as I get up from the table, down $200 for the night.
The rest of the weekend was pretty much similar to that (losing with KK to a set, etc).
Any comments/criticism on how I played the above mentioned hands would be appreciated!

Seems like you had a few unlucky boards. I assume you are also playing smaller pairs and some suited connectors? It sucks to wait three hours only to lose to these type of hands.
Yeah I obv play these but I honestly didn't get many because I can't really remember any significant ones......except for where cold-called a $6 raise with 44 but a player in LP 3bet pretty big so I folded......would've flopped a set on the flop but he would've flopped a set of jacks on the turn.......
Anyways thanks for the advice, I'll definitely do that next time
