Ended day 1 but I was still in the gambling mood so with my prop bets already taken down and money given, I decided to blackjack it up. A few friends have been trying to tempt me into a friend called 'Martin Gale' but I wasn't having any of it. Although it gave one person a very interesting night...
Anyway, after busting some money playing BJ (and baccarat...) I looked to see for a space at the cash games. 1/2 was full and I was on the waiting list so the only games available were 5/5 omaha or 1/2 omaha. Clearly I am not degenerate enough to join the 5/5 game so played 1/2 omaha for a while. I don't know omaha too well but most of the table seems like they're on the same level so I seemed fine. Decide to buy in for 50BBs. I start playing tight and wait for quad aces for a while when I realised that's impossible and a terrible hand so went and loosened my range for a bit. Came out up 100 primarily through flopping 2nd nut straight and holding to some draw.
Anyway the hold em game opened up and I transferred my winnings over to the next table. thought I'd play my standard move. The usual suspects were there, the sickos, the nits, the fishes and Rob.
Came out up 600 in the end. The only really special hand in the night was early on a few hands in. I flat to a button raise with J2suited (those wondering why, it's because sometimes, I don't like money). Flop comes 962 rainbow. I c/r to 30 quid to the OR's 8-9 quid bet. He tanks and decides to shove for what was just under 40 quid more to me. I'm thinking 'Fuck, I'm committed and this non-alcoholic drink is getting to me!'. Plus also thinking that I can't fold to such a tiny shove a cried and called thinking I had at least enough outs to justify a call (which I guessed was about 3-1 odds in my head. Turns out it wasn't...).
Anyway, the board fully runs out 9626J. The guy sighs and says 'Ace high?'. I turn the J2over and the table becomes shocked at how I won it. In my head, I'm thinking they must be shocked at the amazing call. But obviously I'm aware of how terrible the call was.
Way to go for me to run good.
But anyway, I finish at 6am and realise I gotta be up in 6 hours again to play day 2!
