BCC Trip

Was at Brantford Charity Casino last night, and to say it was a blood bath was probably an understatement. [note of brag] I don't proclaim to be a limit expert/shark like Moose, but its probably been two years, about 20 or so straight sessions at BCC where I have left in the black. [/end of brag] So anyways, went to play some 5/10 yesterday, partly due to lack of liquidity, partly due to the fact that I was there with some friends so I wanted to play at the same table and what not...and the whole night I probably won maybe 5 pots max.

[bad beat stories] Normally I hate telling them, and I don't plan to, but this is more of reporting of hands and how badly I ran.

1. 1010 loses to 56 when it was capped preflop, and on the flop of 9 5 4 when 6 comes on the river

2. 2 pair goes down to rivered straight

3. 2 pair goes down to a guy who calls with top pair when board 4 flushed with clubs thinking he only had a pair when he had the 2 of clubs in his hand

4. AA loses to 22 when 22 flops a set

[/bad beat stories]

The table was the juiciest table I've seen, and if I had more money I don't think I would've left, but with that table the variance would've been huge, and unfortunately I was just on the bad side of variance. Things happen and I'll be back...In all honesty though, I definitely didn't play my best poker. There were things Moose pointed out playing on my right that definitely has got me thinking about limit and playing certain players a certain way. Also played some hands just more out of frustration where I could've probably saved a few big bets here and there, lessons learned and hopefully will get back there after the Thanksgiving weekend.

As for now, I SWEAR I'll have the tourney report from the one I cased in up soon...its all typed up on my Blackberry but I just keep forgetting to transfer it on to my PC when I'm in Toronto, and when I'm in Waterloo I don't have the data cable.

I was going to try to grind out some NAPC satellitse this week, but with school and assignments and midterms, I don't think I can really grind those out. MIGHT take one day and just go and see if I can get a couple in, but other than that I'm going to be focusing on grinding out for a seat in the PCA. Going back to Vegas in Nov, just need to book a flight now...should be a blast with Venetian Deepstacks running again.
