Just had a MONSTER live $1/2 session at the casino...

Just left Tunica, Ms.

After going to Harrah's and Horseshoe casino to get a seat, I was put on a waiting list at both. Normally I sit at an empty table and wait my turn while reading CardPlayer or Bluff Magazine. Just which ever they have on the shelf. Thankfully, today, I was too impatient to wait. I said screw it and tried the last casino offering NLH games in the area, Gold Strike casino (an MGM Resort property).

I sat down nervous. I was playing with (gambling with) Christmas money.

Started off with $100 for a 4 hour session (Normally I stay a lot longer but I was on a time limit. Had to get home in time to make my lady think I'd been at work).

By my set time to leave, I was looking down at a $800 chip stack. $600 came from 2, any 2 card donks. They paid me $300 a piece for a couple of my monster and even mediocre holdings.

I asked for a rack to put my chips in and announced this would be my last hand for the day. I look down at the first card dealt. Ace of spades. Wait on my next card to come. Another ace. I preflop raise over my huge chip stack for $25. I got 4 callers. I was first to act on a rainbow flop after the blinds folded preflop. I made it $75 to go. Everyone folded and I added an extra $100 to my stack on the way out the door.

It's going to be a VERY MERRY Christmas this year!!!!

:cool:

nice work

very nice im jealous

Nice win and Merry Christmas. I have played a live cash game once. I was nervous as hell. I sat down at a $1/$2. I folded my first 3 our 4 hands until I was in the big blind. I looked down at 73 of hearts. Of course I was going to fold but 3 people limped in and I just checked. The flop comes all hearts. I bet half the pot everyone folds but the small blind to my right. Turn comes no heart. I bet all in. He calls and flips over a set. River comes no help for him and I double up to $400. I was really happy. So was my wife who was at home with my new born daughter. I just wish I lived close to a casino so I could go more often.

Congrats!!! A win is always good.
