I\'m killing this place
I got introduced to a local "underground" pokerroom social club back in June, and since then I've played 2-3 times a week there. 2 to 4 tables running most nights, 3/6/12 and 5/10Kill games are offered. Probably 300 members play there part time but a dozen are almost always there. Lots of these players are longtimers who've know each other for 20 or more years. Its a very well run room with great management, lots of friendly people, excellent food, security.... and my goodness the games are juicy sweet.
A few decent players, most are classic schooling fish. But until I started showing up they never had a 2+2er with 300000+ online 6-max hands under his belt using pokertracker and ACE HUD plus 50 read poker books in his library.. I've yet to play with anyone else in the "big" 5/10 kill game who comes close to my expertiese. After 300 hours at this place its pretty obvious to everybody there that I'm -real- good. I've had some losing sessions of course, and I'm always very polite and friendly and cheerful and never complain and am generally a nice guy both at and away from a poker table.. but my super tight aggressive style and pushing small edges hard has definitely been noticed. Unfortunately I don't know other places around town to play live (closest casino 3 hours away) and I'm concerned that long term it could get ugly with how much I could take from this community. Not that I'm complaining, so far everybody has been mostly friendly, management likes me and I've recruited other players.. but in the game am getting lots of "here comes lucky" and the table conversations at times have been how much I've won recently.. which I don't like hearing.
Anyway not sure how to best handle the situation. Hoping other 2+2ers don't find out about it tho [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
