Colin408's WPT Fallsview Trip Report
Well I just got back to Havelock a few hours ago from what was an amazing trip to Niagara Falls! I'm not very good at writing trip reports so I will break it down into a few different sections.
Poker Results
- Busted just over an hour into the $275 super satty at 350th...Played decent early on but my pocket kings ran into three of a kind jacks... I raised to 400 pre flop and he calls in the SB. He raises to 1000 when the flop comes J 8 3 and I re-raised to 2500,he calls and the turn comes a 7.
He checks and I bet another 2000( at this point I have a gut feeling that he has a set but I thought I'd bet another 2000 just to find out, he was playing very aggressive earlier and had a large stack)he re-raises all-in and I fold... He shows his three of a kind jacks, and I'm left with 900 in chips with the blinds going up to 100/200/25 the next hand.. I know I kind of made a dumb play here but with the blinds increasing fast and having a stack of around 6000 before the hand I knew that I needed to win a big pot to have any chance of making the top 40. I knew he was going to either fold or shove all-in.
***Cash Games***
Session 1: Went all-in pre flop for $80 with QQ, Guy calls with 1010 and hits a 10 on the turn... Wasn't happy about starting my trip with a horrible bad beat.
Results:-$110
Session 2: Bought in for 110 and left with 135.
+25
Session 3: Bought in for 130 and left with 215
+85
Total profit: Broke even on cash games.

Greg Frewin Show: Went to the Greg Frewin Magic show, and was very pleased with his performance. He had a lot of good acts such as levitation, disappearing,swords/saws cutting in half,etc. Would recommend this to anyone, was one of the best magic shows I've seen.
Roulette: Hit big a few times on roulette. Hit a few spins for $108 in video roulette and then hit a spin on the real roulette table for $185. Despite the hits I still think I lost around $100 dollars on it.
Slots: Probably lost a good $150 playing slots.
Nightmares Fear Factory Haunted House: Not going to spoil anything but it is by far the scariest attraction I've ever been to. I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life lol. I was a good 15 beer deep and still jumped a good 3 feet off the ground on numerous occasions.I Also almost kicked one of the actors when he came up behind us.
Highlight:My friend who came with me cashed the $275 super satty and sold his ticket for $2200!
Dinner with Buddy/Blondefish: My friend and I joined Buddy for lunch at East Side Mario's. Buddy was very generous and paid for all of our food and I am very thankful for that. I also noticed that he needs to upgrade his prescription for his eye glasses lol
A big thanks goes out to Buddy who showed us around the place, and offered to introduce us to the many poker pros he knows. I was also pleased to meet fellow forumers Westside and Sniperboy. I look forward to joining up and meeting more of you at the next event that I choose to attend.

new rule: no drunken mma fighters in the haunted house
Lol, will you be attending this year?!
I may have been the donkey that sucked out on you!
I was that guy who made it 50 preflop over 3 limpers. You popped it all in to 80 and 2 of the 3 limpers called the 80, Pot was huge, I think I'm behind your range but one of the limp callers has 1800 and I have about 1200, The other limp caller has 800. I flop a set with my TT and more than double up.
And are you a small Asian man lol?
Edit: I don't think it was you because it was at a 1/2 table.
And there was only two people in the pot..
No It wasn't me because I was playing 5/10.
