First visit to niagra
Went to Niagra this weekend shockingly was my first time there. The games were really good. Mostly played 5/10 and really not many players impressed me, lot of tight people and people who do not know proper bet sizing.
Another thing I noticed there was a lot of people act so tough, lose a hand to someone and start yelling at people. Never heard so many arguements at a poker table in my life lol.
Friday I played for about 4-5 hours and made 600ish.
Saturday was a different kind of ride haha. Woke up around 10am and had breakfast, went to put my name on lists and well i waited lost 475 in BJ.
Started playing around 11am. They opened a 5/10 table around 12 and I sat down with max buy in. of 1000. In the first orbit I lost a buyin when I had KJc flop came j82 with 2 clubs and missed to QQ. After about 6 hours of playing I was stuck around 4.5 buyins. I didnt want to move seat and then see someone sit there and start hitting, but eventually I moved seats and turned out to be a great decision. Played until 5am and not only got back to even but left up lil more then 4k. had almost 9k on the table. Went on a sick run and once I got some chips I was a force, 3 betting and betting big on rivers. Makes me wish the max buyin was more then $1000.

I was there from 10 PM to 4 AM, Where you on table 3?
Heres another one.
This was a little later in the night so Im not positive on the preflop action but I think I know it to be this. I get 73c couple of limpers by this time Ive been running over the table and get a pretty good read on most of the players. I raise to 65 and get 2 or 3 callers. flop comes down 974 with 2 clubs. now a guy who limped fires out a small bet of 60ish, this guy seemed pretty tight, he was really quiet so I just called. others folded. Turn was an off suit K. He now bets out 75. Hes sitting with around $1500, So i raise it to $225 now he min raises to $455. Here I know he has a Monster, either a set of k9 maybe. So its around another $230 plus he has around 1100 back. If he had raised to like 600 Im gonna fold but Im not folding to a min raise lol so I call and the river is money for me. Qc. he now bets out $200. I make a confused look kinda sit there for a few seconds then put in a stack of like 4k lol he thinks for a while and someone calls time on him, he eventually calls. Now here Im not gonna deny, very lucky, he clearly had a set I think but when your running good your running good i guess lol.
One hand I had j10 guy raised I called and another called flop 987 with 2 hearts. other caller leads out for like 180 other folds i pump it to 500 he ships for like 1300 totalish and I snap. he had 56, again very lucky flop lol.
Another one, this one is kind of interesting. A game named wally who apparently is niagras highest high roller was pretty drunk and waiting to get to 10/20. I limp in with one of my fun 63h hands lol couple more limpers and now wally in the bb, suit comes up and says do you want 10/20 and hes like yeah after this hand and he raises to 100, has like 1500 back. Normally Im gonna fold prob even for 60, but only because suit came over then he raised plus hes hammered and I know hes a highroller I thought he was gonna stack off no matter what in this hand. So i called looking for a good flop and another calls. Flop is a good one j64 with 2 hearts. He bets around 250 so I raise to 720ish just looking to get it in knowing im a head of any pair statically right now. other folds and wally thinks for awhile then pushes it in i call off the rest, turn 3 river blank and I win with 2 pair. he had 99.
Now there are a lot of hands where I stole some pots on the river and other stuff but I played for like 16 hours and its hard to remember them, these obv stick out in my mind as a mix of run good, and situational play. as Wetts always says.....play bad, run good!! lol
recently enough i was SB, at 2-5 3 limpers i called with ace 4 off suit with 3 callers then the BB checked, i had checked in the dark to ace 4 6, 2 spades, 2 checks a bet to 40 into 25, a fold, i raised to 150, the better says "loose call" im just thinking come on one time!! i check in dark again to a spade, he ships BAH...shows 109 spades like hes the genius lol
im not gonna complain about it to much, the very next hand i flopped a full house and got paid off 1k+ pot "SHIP IT!"
more less the point is everyone live right now knows the game and hands, maybe not strength but bet sizing is mostly where they mistep and dont grasp totally floating and other wise...its not gambling and hoping for the best because its a casino its still POKER!
I like these kind of situations where you have a runner/runner draw to a straight and flush and you are getting good implied odds. For example, 67h w a 49A board w one heart. Any 5 or 8 or heart and you have a lot more chances to win the hand. Really depends on the flop bet. When you hit these kind of hands, you really get paid off. Although, you will get donkey stares
You know he's a favourite over basically anything but sets right?
