Well this wasnt at the casio but rather at a pool place where ppl meet to play poker because casino around here is big waiting list and slow dealers. This place dealer rocks.

Dealer at the live table is pretty much instant just like a program almost Razz
Just the players sometimes slowing it down.

If this isnt the right part to post this, sorry. Please move it.

--First tourny--
First was a 60 man tourny. Some hand history.
Everyone has 7k starting.

Blind starting, 200/400

2nd hand
Held 5 and 6 on a big blind calling x1 bigblind.
Flop is 5Q6, I check - lady next to me 2k, other person also calls. I think hmm, bleh will have to scare them out. I all in. she calls, other guy folds. She shows pair jacks. I win, first knockout of the tourny.

7 hands later.
Holding AQ,
3 players, about x2 blinds pot.

xQx. A x.

Well I checked, guy betted 1k, most folded. I called. I see my two pair, he checks. I thought he was leading me to a trap when he check this, so i called his 500 bet i think. On river, bets in 2k, I double it, he calls and doesnt show.

About 5 hand later.
Was in same pot head to head with the previous guy again, holding A6. He was holding pocket 2s.
Axx 6 x
He played the same as previous hand bets almost, I did check/call did end and double. This time he shows pocket 2.

About 7 hands later, The guy on my left in the previous 2 hands and a guy across from me were like on tilt I think, all in.
I was holding pocket 7's but folded, it would of cost me 40% of my chips to call both, being a chicken crap. I didnt :/
They show, qj,ak. Only thing on the board was pair10, i would of had that Sad

In the night over the next hr, i ended up with 7px ocket sets, only won with pocket aces to a short stak. I got aces in 2 hands after each other. First ace was beated by stright all in :/

I was moved to the last 2 table, 2nd shorted stack I said stuff this. Holding 4's, all in, get called with 55 and hits set. Bye me.
---

So i was pissed off not hitting so many sets, I went to the 'live table' as they call it. 4/8 limit.

I brought $200 worth of chips. Once again, AK x3 + pocket 7's in about hr and half. No hits.

By this time was down to $50 in chips left. So I said stuff this again, I held on to 47 suited played till river, won pot with a stright first then flushed.

Held on to 810, held til river. 3 ppl left raised like crazy, i had the nuts so i check. the 2 kept rasinig liek crazy, i was so happy. then time to show cards...

EVERYONE HAD 810. 3 PPL!! :S.

Next hand, Held on to 67 non suited, other guy holding AQ and hits his Q. Betted every go, i kept calling till river then hit the 7. two pair. Felt like poo play, i would of been bit upset too but i was on mega tilt.

Now Last hand that made my night.

Delt pocket A's. I was thinking omg, another set tonight. bleh whats my chances now.

6A6. I check, he bet. I re-raised, everyone was like hooooooo. (by this time everyone was having laughs). flop raise by reraise. Im thinknig wtf does he have. turn is 10. Forgot river.

I thought he had the 6X in hand and also at the same time pocket6 makinmg the 4 of kind. after head to head 3xraises on the river. I just called it.

He shows 6 and A. I show AA. Both fullhouses. My cousin and guy on the table said why didnt i keep raising. I only could of rasied another times i guess but was on tilt and wasnt thinking plus scared incase he showed 66 in hand at the same time cos he was agreesive whenever he could, reraise anything. I was the first reraiser then call his reraise instead of reaising again when i could.

Well yeah ended up a ncie head to head pot. Won few more hands.

So yeah. ended up with 430.
Winning with some junk hands at the live time and rivering. :/ Was on tilt so bad but i still came on top end of night playing junk.
