Today was a good day

After getting some errands outta the way, i headed down to L.A. to pick up Stoner at his hotel on the way to Commerce Casino.

I heard parking at Commerce was a mutha during LAPC so i went straight to the valet hoping they weren't full. Luckily, we drove right up and dropped the car off without delay.

We got to Commerce around 1pm and i hadn't eaten yet. We went directly to the sports bar and ordered lunch then bolted for the cash tables. Luckily, the list was short and we got seated right away but at different tables.

the 200 NL game at Commerce has 3/5 blinds which is higher than most 200 NL games. It's been a while since i played there so it may have always been 3/5. Anyway, as soon as i took my seat i saw a player all-in on a J-J-J-T-8 board with another player contemplating a call. He finally ablidged and it was quad J's vs. boat. Shortly after, I saw trips vs. trips with better kicker taking it down. There was a lot of action at the table with one older asian guy reloading no less than 5 times while i was there. He donated 1k to the table in just a few hrs. 15-25 pf raises getting 3-4 callers was pretty standard. Stoner was seated at another table and got moved after i told him our table was loose.

i bled off about $70 calling and whiffing pf raises then doubled up with AKo after getting it all in a a K-high flop against the old asian guy to get back up to around $250. After bleeding off some more chips speculating flops, i called a raise from MP with Q-To and flopped an OESD. With like $60 in the pot some guy to my right leads out for only $15. There were a bunch of players behind left to act so I just called, they did the same and the turn brought the Kd to complete my straight but there were two flush draws on board. The guy who bet $15, bets out $60 on the turn and i shove my stack in the middle, he calls and shows down two pair. I double up again and have over $400 behind now.

Several hands later, i pick up QQ in MP. Player leads out in EP for $15, i raise it to $50 and it folds around. He shoves for like another $40, i call and he flips 6-6. This puts me up to over $500. I bleed down some more chips then pick up 2-2 in LP and limp after a bunch of limpers. flop comes K-K-7, it checks around. turn is a 6, it checks around again and the river brings a deuce. Guy to my right bets out $25 and i miraise to $50. It turns out i coulda got more cuz he flipped K-8s.

I cashed out $500 for a +$300 profit on the day. Stoner and I headed to the sports bar for a beer before i jammed home. We ran into Jennifer at the bar who had just finished playing the Media Event.

We had a couple of Full Tilt red pros and an actor, Bill Macy at our cash table. Bill was in one of Tina's favorite xmas movies, "Surviving Christmas". One of the Full Tilt pros looked like "Devilfish". But Stoner doesn't believe it was him. He was very active and open raising pf with shit like 84s which was really good for the table.

I might head back to Commerce on Saturday.

Today was a good day.
