ok poker fans we're back with more mid-atlantic excitement and today's action finds us again at horseshoe baltimore for another installment of "the thursday game."
the room is completely dead but a handful of us start a fast moving 3/6 limit game where i'm repeatedly POUNDED in the big blind.
(1)JT is third to limped queens and J7 (2 pair) but of course KT (nothing!!) bets the turn and costs me an extra $6.
(2) JJ raises a button straddle (A9) to $9 but of course the villain hangs in to river an ace.
(3) 54s flops a gutshot and a flush draw against limped kings (flops a set). of course both draws miss as the board runs out 5 4.
(4) 99 leads AK until another ace hits the river.
i might have won one hand (?) before the game breaks completely with me behind $115.
i watch a blackjack tournament for a little bit and walk around the casino. another horseplayer is trying to start a new 3/6 game and tries to recruit me for it but i'm not sure it's going to go and plan to head to maryland live! for a change of pace.
but the game does go and fortunately i stay because i catch fire right from the start in a $195 win!!
meanwhile downstairs i see i'm 3 for 3 at penn national before charles town throws a little water on the fire!!
great night of gambling though as proximity momentum begins to build!!
thank you for reading!!
