Decided to go to the Horseshoe on Wednesday night to catch a cash game session. Picked up Robert here in town and we rolled out around 5pm. As usual...I hall ass and dont get stopped not one time. Maybe because they had everyone else pulled over as we zoomed by. Ill take it!
We get out call ins as soon as we get in Bossier. We show up to the poker room and all the 1/3 games are full. They have a list for 2/5 so I sign up for that. I see a seat open in the back table and ask is that a free seat. The woman said it was the 2/5 PLO game. "OHHHHH SHIT!!!"
"Well Ill be taking that seat if you need me mam."
I walk over to see how much money was involved. I dont think they have a max here. 1 seat was down to 3hundred and some change, 2 was around 6-7hundred, 3 had 1k, 4 about 2k, 5 had the most at the time...nice little stack of $500 chips...had to be around 6k. I would sit in the 6 for short. ($500) The 7 was a cool younger guy name Matt. 8 was random black guy that was in over his head, and 9 was a really solid player...well...he was a very tight player...and thats what you need to be in a 9 handed omaha game.
Long story short...I ended up almost in the green for 2k. The first couple of pots I got involved in were alittle jar'ing. A continuation was almost half my stack. After I chizzled my way to about 1k I was able to start opening up and play my game. I sniffed out 3 weak river bets and stuck out a check raise of over $400 each time. Matt caught on to one of em...Told me stealing in this state is Illegal. We both laughed. Said he was ganna be in NOLA for the circuits. Hope so. Cool cat.
Turned a straigh flush and river paired the board...got no love when I bet pot in river to look like i was buying. GRRRR. I did wax this bitch for a $1800 pot. Loved every minute of it. First let me paint the picture of this woman.
When she walked up to the table, a couple people already knew her. Her name was BB I think. Anyways, this was a redneck asshole of a woman. Man hands and all. She counts out 1k under the table and gets 9 in black and 4 in green. Can see there is ganna be alot of action coming from her way. All she can say when me, matt , or another young black guy take a pot is "Damn Eldorado kids..." or "Time to put the children to bed"
Finally I told her, "I dont fucking play at the Eldorado...who are you talkin too? Are you ADD? Tourrettes?? Cuz you are spouting off random shit that is offending some and getting on my damn nerves." Matt concurs...black dude just laughs his ass off. She shuts up for like maybe 10 min. Then we get in the juicy hand that stacks her bitch-ass!!!
I started straddling so the table joined in. I was 2nd to act after the straddle. I called, BB called, the tight 9 seat called. When it got to Matt he made a 3x raise. The black guy called, I called, then BB.....BB bets the pot. WOW. Thank you for telling me you have at bare minimum naked AA's. Matt calls the $120, black guy does, as do I (Kd-Td-3c-4d). Flop is Kh-7h-4s. Black guy checks, as do I. BB bets $450..Matt folds, black guy folds. I tank.
OK...this silly witch would pot it with AA here no doubt. But she would also with top set, leaving my 2 pair dead in water. Also, if she had AA with flush draw, she has already told the table she runs it once. Never twice. So here I am stuck with a decission of fold or shove. Not flatting. You know Joe Joe. Gamble Gamble...SPIN IT!!
I shove...she calls. I think I might have said I flopped two pair...either way she said that was good..that she had AA. Well the turn brougt me a 10c..then river 4c. FULLHOUSE. Ship that shit. Black guy and Matt could have kissed me they were so happy I stacked the evil wicked witch of the west. Tipped the dealer 2 greeny's. He was my new BFF after that tip. Lol.
Didnt stay long after that. Didnt need too... Robert got sniped by the old schools in the 1/3 when he finally sat down. I would have slid him another buy in but I was ready to get back on the road. Maybe next time Rob.
NOLA...MAY 7th...be there!!! Joe Joe will be in the building. I repeat...IN...THE...BUIDLING.
Deuce!

Monday, April 26, 2010
Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Okay. Monday morning. Got back from OK, Sunday at around 2 am. I am now freshly charged (5am) and through with being in zombie mode. How did Winstar go you say?? BAHAHAHA!!! Joe Joe did work!
We left here around 11am Friday morning, praying to God we didnt hit Dallas traffic around 3-5pm. Right before we left, I thought it would be a good idea to smash some codine cough syrup...just for the simple fact to help put me out for that 6 hr drive. On top of that, I had eaten a PB and banana sandwich, and washed it down with a nice tall glass of milk. Yeah, starting to sound like a really bad mix huh?
We get in on the road, stop and get gas, seeds, drinks...We dont even make it to Flatwoods exit and I have to hurl. LMAO. Apparently the OG syrup doesnt take kind to my belly. It came up looking like Strwberry Nesquick...with some nanna's mixed in. Easy was just laughin away at my expense as well. Its all good...I would have laughed at myself as well.
After the puke had sub-sided...I passed out. Woke up almost out of Dallas. That was fucking great. So glad I slept through all that crap. Cruised alittle bit more and made our Denton exit. (We have a buddy that lives there...think i might have stated that before...if not...boom..bless you with knowledge) We all just hung around the apt for a minute, then got changed and ready to make the 45 min drive into OK.
When we pulled into the casino parking lot, it was like the first time seing it all over. WOW!!!! This place was under construction when I came the first time. Now, its finished...and it is fucking ENORMOUS! I think they said its the 2nd biggest casino (length wize). The theme is...well...the world! They have like 12 different parts of the world (Rome, Venice, London, etc. etc. ) All over the casino. It is very, VERY sharp inside. The only reason you go into the actually casino part would be for table games, and food...which btw they have some badass places to get the grub on. My fav is Zahrs. Its an Italian join...great fried pickles!
As for the poker room. Well, the hallway that connects the poker room to the rest of the casino is under construction, so you actually get to park right by the old Emergency exit and walk right in to the lounge area, swing the corner and BOOM...you are right there by the counter. That place is something else. I think they had 12 1/2 , 8 2/5's, and the High stakes area had 2 5/10's...all had HUGE stacks. It was a great feeling. Was ready to do work instantly.
We finally catch a seat at 1/2. Granted this isnt the 5/10 that I wanted to play, but I really didnt want to go sit with 1k and have the rest at like 4-5k. I just wasnt ready to risk that much first day here. Not to mention i was still tired as piss.
Eric and I get sat at the same table. He sits in 3, me in 4. Couple of orbits go by and I get 7h-3h 2nd to act. I make it $8...gets to Button, (Ive played with this guy in Kinder before. Young asian/american dude. Really ABC style.) He makes it $20. Why hello there Big Pair. I call you. Flop comes 4s-5h-4h...YESSSS...hahah...daddy likes. I check with the intent of check raising all in...without a doubt. He could have JJ or QQ and might have it in his blood to dump em, or if not...hey, its a race...im down. He bets pot, I shove, he calls. Turn is dud...6h on river...straight flush...Shizzip it. Oh...he had to black AA. duhhhhh
So, first day is looking damn good. That was the only nasty luckbox type shit that happen the rest of the day. The rest was just me murking the table. I had dead on reads, and made some really huge plays. One hand was with a new guy that showed up. Had an image of being the table prick. Was a solid player from what I could tell.
I get AQh and make it $10. He calls...HU to flop. Comes 10 high. I make it $14...yeah, fucked up. It was a weak C-bet and I even caught myself looking a bit noobish putting the bet in there. Well he raises me. I really put him on making a read here and not having a hand. I float. Turn doesnt help...nor makes a scary board. I check. He bets 1/2 pot. Ok...Now I think he might have A10...maybe JJ. He starts to make me believe he has something now. I cant give up just yet. If a river brings a Hob-goblin...im pulling the trigger. I call...river is Ks. I take about 5 sec. "Im all in." He tanks...asks if im really that Kamikazee with AK. I dont say a word..he folds QQ face up. Guy next to me tells him good fold...I decide to show it. "Sheah, good fold huh". LOL . Made some more good reads. Sniffed out weak bets. Was a great 1st day.
We leave around 2am. Get back to the apt. Brush the teefs and hit the floor old school style. Easy had the couch...fucker called it as soon as we walked in. Bastard!
Slept till aournd 10am. Woke up and put on some American Gangster while everyone took their time to wake up. Took a shower and changed clothes. Felt amazing to have a fresh shower. Not to mention, well...does anyone else know what Im talkinb about here. Most apts and hotels water makes you all sticky after you shower. Well his didnt!!! That was epic. SCORE!!!
We decide on Hooters for lunch. Have the only girl in there that looked like they felt sorry for her at the interview as our waitress. Got some more fried pickles and 10 wings. She came and sat by Easy tryin to do the flirt-to get tipped routine. Basically what came out of that was she admitted to being hooked on aderals for days at a time and liked to party. LOL. Dirty skeeze...go get me some more sweet tea!!!
We roll back to winstar. Walk in, name on list...yada yada yada. Get seated at a new table. Easy sits as well. Across the table this time. We tie into a couple of hands. Cant check em down either due to others in the hand. Was kind of aggrivating, cause niether one of us where wanting to fuck up each others action. Wasnt too bad tho. I get down to about $120. I limp with 85c. Flop comes 10h-8s-4h. I check, as do the other 2 players. Turn is 5d. I bet pot...they both call. Yuk....until the 5h hits the river. Flush arrives, as does my full. I hollywood...shove for value..both call. Shizzip it again. Now we are in the plus area! NICE!
I guess today was ganna be the day to bluff. Thats pretty much all I did. Got in a hand with a young guy to my right. Limped with 76o. Flop was Q22. I take that back...i was in BB. I check... he leads out. Okay. You were UTG. You might have a Q..maybe you were sneaky with KK or AA hoping to get raise preflop so you could pop it then. Either way...im in BB and there was no raise pre...so I can very well represent a 2. I call. Turn is another Q. I check. He bets pot. OKAY....ahem ahem.
I just dont see you, well some good players might, betting the Q here. If I called you on the flop you can very well put me on a full by now. So lets say you do have a Q...why not check and let me hang myself on river. Keep in mind, this is still noobs. I would think twice here against diff apponents. I call. River is crap. I bet 80. He dumps it. I was waiting to get the pot raked before I mucked and some guy asked to see the Q or 2. I told em to pick one. He picked the 7. Guy that I was in the hand with was like WTF...pocket 7's. I told him to flip the other over if he liked. When he saw it...he left. :)
Another hand. Had 10-7 diamonds i believe. In the pot with one other old school. Flop is 9-8-7 with 2 hearts. I bet, he calls...eeeesh. Turn is crap. I bet again. He calls again...damnit. Bout to pump the breaks I guess. River is 5c. So on this board is a 4 card straight and a backdoor club flush. I check...old school stares at the board and reaches...goes to bet and stops, puts its all in. I tanked...made a read...put him on busted flush. I call. He had 10-4. same straight draw as me...that will work too. Good read Joe Joe.
Bnch of other nasty shit happened....slow played AA with a board of 99Q-5-9. Got all his chips with my 9's full vs his 9's full of Q.
Then the icing if you will...
I get 64h. UTG...I make it $10...Gets back to the other big stack. we both have around 5ish...maybe close to 6 a piece. He raises from BB to $35. I call.
Flop is 3-5-10 rainbow. Uh oh...sneaky time. He bets 3/4 pot. I call. Turn is money maker. 7s...10 was a spade to. He bets pot...I shove. I really like to shove right here. The table knows me as a gambler, so I might have picked up a flush draw here. He tanks...for a LONG time. I put my head down. Tried as hard as I could to look like I was bluffing. Wasnt working...he started making comments of I must have a set. When he said that, I knew he was about to fold. I had to do something..Fast.
"Well, I guess if you had AA or KK you would have snapped called." That was it...that got him. "So your saying KK are good?" I didnt say yes, I didnt say no either...I just looked at the board like I might have missed something. Couple of seconds went by. "So you really dont have a set?". "I promise, I do not have a set."
"Well, I hope not...I call."
I flipped over the nut straight, and he showed his 2 red AA.
BOOM.
He could not believe that someone raised with, and called a reraise with 64 suited. I did like the guy...but hey, it poker.
That really summed the trip up. I ran the game over. Made good reads, good plays, in good spots.
We left to go back to Louisiana straight after the session. Wasnt a bad drive home. Was just glad to be back. Well I guess thats enough for now.
Later peoples.

Up again...Ambien anyone???
I really can't remember a time my sleeping was more screwed up than it is now. I have been assing out at 4-5 in the afternoon and waking up at midnight WIDE OPEN. Its so retarded. The ol lady has about had it. Tho I cant complain to much. Havent had to put on the oven mits, or pet hair in a bout a week. (Those of you who didnt catch that...thats what the guys around here call puttin in time with better halfs. Get it??? Pet the hair...as in, "I love you so much baby...Lets cuddle.") Or the the oven mits. Well, thats pretty self explanitory. Nothing is open except Circkle K, and Im just about burnt out on Mt. Dew and sunflower seeds. I sometimes get lucky and am able to make it to Taco Bell. SOMETIMES!!!
Been a pretty laid back week I guess. Just gettin ready for Winstar this weekend. We might have added a few more people to make the journy. I have a couple things I need to take care of Friday morning before we leave, so we should be rolling towards Texas around 10 or 11am. Hopefully we beat Dallas traffic. That shit is GOD AWFULL. If we do hit it...hell...might have to hit a BK session. (BK is another term that Im sure you people dont know about, nor am I ganna share unless asked personally).
Online has been up and down now that Im up playing against the Euro's. The tournys and SNG's have been really easy...but cash...well, the euro's sure do like to gamble. They dont keep any pots small. If they have a flush draw...they always seem to semi-bluff. Which wouldnt make it to big, but there I am with either an over pair to the board or a set or a flopped straight. Havent got sucked out to many times, but they have stung me once or twice. If I would have won all those showdowns, damn...i think i would be up about 2k just in cash games. Didnt get REAL deep in the MTTs, but cashed regardless. The sng's were alittle better. Took down a $10/90plr. That was the best finish out of the sng's. Rest where 3rds, 1 2nd, and couple of bricks. Good few days regardless.
Anybody seen the $1 Main event tournys on FT!?!?! Like 10k people!!! WTF!!!! I mean, as a player, you cant pass that opportunity up, but DAMNIT MAN...10k PEOPLE. JESUS. I havent played one yet, but I think Ill start taking the stab every weeked from here on out. FTOPS are coming up I believe. Or the mini maybe, not sure. Ganna play a couple of those. Would like to ship something semi large. Would be nice to be free-rolling NOLA of the circuit.
Speaking of NOLA, if you havent decided on coming to this event...You really need to sit down and ask yourself this..."Why am I a moron? Why havent I already gotten My hotel?" NOLA is off the chain. Cash games poppin left and right, and Every tourny (especially the early ones) have a great crowed! They added a HU event too. REALLY looking forward to playing this one. I pride myself in HU cash...well I say pride. I play it alot lately. I really like getting deep and having the chance to get creative. That being said, I dont know how well my style will do in a tournament style HU match. Im sure Ill still be able to run my original play book...just have to change a few things up. I have been talking so much shit to Monkey about this event that I better come through with at least a top 5 finish. I told him to see if he could swing something to where he and I would be matched up first round. LOL.
Now, Im not trying to stir bad blood between me and Ol Monk. But we are both competitive. I like him as a player and person, and I think it would be a great match competitively, and not to mention a pretty good time to cut up and play some cards. That being said....BRING IT MOFO!!!!
Talk to him briefly about Hotel setup down there. I have a buddy that is ganna let me crash at his place for the first weekend I am down there. After that, Im tredding water by myself. Monkey said there was a place down there for like $40 a night. FIND IT DUDE. That would be clutch! If not, Ill either be commuting from home, or stuck paying $100ish a night at another hotel. Guess Ill deal with it when the time comes. Huge procrastinator. YEssssir!!!
Back to Winstar schedule. The have really good nooner tournys. Hopefully I can cash deep in the one on satr. I really want to get in their 5/10 game. It gets really big. Last time I went there, they had a crazy asian guy that everyone called George W. LMAO. He always keeps a rubberband roll in his coat pocket. Has to be at least 20-30k in there. He's an OG for sure. Doesnt speak alot of english...but he knows us. "OHHHHHHHHH...Louisiana boyssss...veryyyy goooodddddd." Hahaha. Cool dude. Dealers know us as well too. We have a good reputation of tipping VERY WELL. Not this $1 a hand you win shit. You give me the heat...Im ganna hit you back bro! No doubt.
Well, cant think of much else to talk about...oh shit. Just hit me. I have a 2007 yamaha R1 crotch rocket that I love/hate. It was the worst impulse buy I will probably ever make. Well due to me always being on the road, I dont ride it and I have been stuck paying the note on it for quite some time. I finally got a bite on it. Hopefully it pans out. If not...all the rest of you out there. Its summertime...and the ladies love the crotch rockets!!! Google it or go to my facebook page if you want to see what it looks like....comes with a $400 Icon helmet and gloves. Yeah yeah yeah...Im tryin to sell shit...bite me!

Havent got sucked out to many times, but they have stung me once or twice. If I would have won all those showdowns, damn...i think i would be up about 2k just in cash games. Didnt get REAL deep in the MTTs, but cashed regardless. The sng's were alittle better. Took down a $10/90plr. That was the best finish out of the sng's. Rest where 3rds, 1 2nd, and couple of bricks. Good few days regardless.
Anybody seen the $1 Main event tournys on FT!?!?! Like 10k people!!! WTF!!!! I mean, as a player, you cant pass that opportunity up, but DAMNIT MAN...10k PEOPLE. JESUS. I havent played one yet, but I think Ill start taking the stab every weeked from here on out. FTOPS are coming up I believe. Or the mini maybe, not sure. Ganna play a couple of those. Would like to ship something semi large. Would be nice to be free-rolling NOLA of the circuit.
Speaking of NOLA, if you havent decided on coming to this event...You really need to sit down and ask yourself this..."Why am I a moron? Why havent I already gotten My hotel?" NOLA is off the chain. Cash games poppin left and right, and Every tourny (especially the early ones) have a great crowed! They added a HU event too. REALLY looking forward to playing this one. I pride myself in HU cash...well I say pride. I play it alot lately. I really like getting deep and having the chance to get creative. That being said, I dont know how well my style will do in a tournament style HU match. Im sure Ill still be able to run my original play book...just have to change a few things up. I have been talking so much shit to Monkey about this event that I better come through with at least a top 5 finish. I told him to see if he could swing something to where he and I would be matched up first round. LOL.
Now, Im not trying to stir bad blood between me and Ol Monk. But we are both competitive. I like him as a player and person, and I think it would be a great match competitively, and not to mention a pretty good time to cut up and play some cards. That being said....BRING IT MOFO!!!!
Talk to him briefly about Hotel setup down there. I have a buddy that is ganna let me crash at his place for the first weekend I am down there. After that, Im tredding water by myself. Monkey said there was a place down there for like $40 a night. FIND IT DUDE. That would be clutch! If not, Ill either be commuting from home, or stuck paying $100ish a night at another hotel. Guess Ill deal with it when the time comes. Huge procrastinator. YEssssir!!!
Back to Winstar schedule. The have really good nooner tournys. Hopefully I can cash deep in the one on satr. I really want to get in their 5/10 game. It gets really big. Last time I went there, they had a crazy asian guy that everyone called George W. LMAO. He always keeps a rubberband roll in his coat pocket. Has to be at least 20-30k in there. He's an OG for sure. Doesnt speak alot of english...but he knows us. "OHHHHHHHHH...Louisiana boyssss...veryyyy goooodddddd." Hahaha. Cool dude. Dealers know us as well too. We have a good reputation of tipping VERY WELL. Not this $1 a hand you win shit. You give me the heat...Im ganna hit you back bro! No doubt.
Well, cant think of much else to talk about...oh shit. Just hit me. I have a 2007 yamaha R1 crotch rocket that I love/hate. It was the worst impulse buy I will probably ever make. Well due to me always being on the road, I dont ride it and I have been stuck paying the note on it for quite some time. I finally got a bite on it. Hopefully it pans out. If not...all the rest of you out there. Its summertime...and the ladies love the crotch rockets!!! Google it or go to my facebook page if you want to see what it looks like....comes with a $400 Icon helmet and gloves. Yeah yeah yeah...Im tryin to sell shit...bite me!

The weekend is upon us.
Sitting here tryin to 4 table some cash on fulltilt, and pretty much begging for something interesting to come on t.v. Doubt it. Nothing ever is good on tv around this time of the weekday. There are fools that arent at work! Hook a brother up!!!
Anyways. RECAP....Omaha, did not go as good as planned. Still up around 8 buyins for the week tho! Speaking of not going as planned....Just limped UTG with AA. Gets back to button, he 3x...BB 3.5x, I flat...button shoves...BB shoves, "Hell yes daddys Hungry!!!" Im up against Ad-Kd, and QQ...AWESOME. "Oh, you flop the nut flush? Hooray!!" FML.
The other 3 tables seem to be doing alright for the time.
Hope everyone has a good weekend. I, on the other hand, shall be going to work...all 3 days. Hey, its how I roll. Living the dream and such. My sleeping schedule is still all messed up. As soon as I put in at least 5 hrs on here, Im crashing hard!!! Anyone ever figure out if they are going with the crew to Winstar next weekend? If you scared, say you scared! Later!!!

So this is blogging?
So most of you know that I have always wrote my road trip experiences on facebook. Well, time to switch things up a bit. I have been given the chance to "post up", along with some other great players, on a great poker site that I feel represents the Gulf Coast in a great way. If you got to my blog through facebook, go check the site out. www.gulfcoastpoker.net
SO, I guess just start from here ay?
What's been going on? Hmmm...well. After last weekend when me and my boy "Easy" went to Shreveport to snipe some fools in cash, Ive just been chillin back in town. Got completely fed up with my girlfriends apartment. Went to walmart and bought anything that said dissinfectant. Came back and did a complete deep clean. (Im usual not a clean freak, but It was getting pretty damn redonkulous) Dusted the ceiling fans, shampoo'd the carpets, dishes, trash, windex....it took about 5hrs and 4 trips to the dumpster before I could just sit back and take in what I had done. I love being in a freshly clean house tho. Makes you feel good...warm and toasty. That is until a week later when Im sure she will have it looking like complete ass all over again. F*ck it.
Its 9:11 am and I woke up at 7pm last night...yeah, insomniac. Ballin!!!!
I plan on playing some Fulltilt later this afternoon. I have been running very good in PLO past week. As of lately, I have really been trying to force myself in grinding out some MTT's. I really need to start playing tournys. I get so down on myself for not even trying. When I started playing, tournament poker was basically painted as a big waste of time to me. Everyone I knew was playing cash...thats it. Im alittle skeptical on how well Ill do in them once I really start taking it serious. My game/style really favor cash. But, I guess adjustments are apart of the game, right? RIGHT?!?!
Well, sorry its short, but I have lots to do today before I am able to sink back into this laptop. Might go get some crawfish. For those of you who have never had them...wow. Sucks to be you!
Oh yeah...some more poker news from Joe Joe's corner. I will be goin up to Winstar casino next weekend. Think its in Thackerville, OK. Some wierd name. Staying with a buddy in Denton, TX then driving up. Its real juicy over there. All stakes are. The 1/2 is full of community college kids gambling thier student loans or daddys $$$. 2/5 is your working class. Couple of good players in these games. The gambling chinese guys are all over these tables as well. Then...the holy grail of winstar. Located in the High Stakes room. 5/10 & 10/20. Usually consist of wealthy Texas money, and local pro's. BIG GAME. Lots of $$$ on these tables.
If any of you are down for the trip, we will be there. Do it....DO IT!!!
