am i a hypocrite??
ok poker fans we are back with another trip report from the place where the sands turn to gold; exciting atlantic city!!
we are again joined by my amazing girlfriend estrella who chooses this trip over the annual colts loss at jacksonville which is scheduled for september 18.
on our way to atlantic city we pass pokerless hollywood grantville and hollywood morgantown who don't deserve our business. but i do note that we're staying at pokerless theoceanac and wonder if that makes me some kind of hypocrite??
maybe i am a bad person but we're having a good time at the ocean and getting some much needed relaxation. i do wish they had at least basic horseracing (nyra, mth, dmr, ky, maybe hong kong) and a small poker room and note that in my survey comments.
finally on our last morning we checkout of the ocean and head down the boardwalk to tropicana where i jump into a 1/2 no limit contest.
these afternoon games at the trop have proven to be far from ideal as it's mostly competent players and today's match is no exception. the room is quiet with only three or four tables going and i wonder about this once vibrant game's future on the boardwalk? one player notes that it's like playing in a mausoleum.
i fall behind early but grind back for a $75 win after AA gets home in a multi-way pot. although i gain financially, i feel i made a few mistakes that ironically may have cost me the win. with the AA i felt i should have bet more on the turn although this may have caused the tanking villain to fold? another hand i played embarrassingly bad although the pot again went multi-way and there's no guarantee i fold out both villains who hit fours on a 44x flop?
in out of town scores, track collector rallies for a $16 win from $350 down at horseshoe baltimore.
thank you for reading!!
game +75 (1/2 nl)
year -27 (1-2)
