1/2 NL at the Tropicana in AC

[Salerosa]

I've taken alot of bad beats worse than this and for a hell of alot more money, but this was my first time playing live in a casino so it seems memorable.

I plan to play the hand in question and one more, as there is a snowstorm on the way and I want to get out of town before it gets here. I am UTG+1, pick up 77 and limp in. I only had access to about 300 bucks at the time, so I bought in short for 180 and have built it up to to about 320.

About 5 others limp, and a drunk guy in the BB who has been taking shots of Hennessey and playing pretty crazy checks.

Flop: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Drunk guy (220) open pushes, I call, older guy to my left (120) calls as well.

Drunk guy: 88
Older guy:K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

River:6x

Ouch. I smile tell them good hand and leave after another rotation. It's not just internet poker thats rigged! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

did he have the 8d?

FWIW the 1 2 NL game at the TROP may very well be the most profitable game in the world.

Players routinely opening for 25-50 dollars with trash. Then going nuts on the flop. Oh man.
