Early morning MGM trip report

I had the day off so I decided to go to the MGM and play me some $1/2 NL. It was one of those sessions you never want to leave. Lady luck was smiling on me for sure.

I bought in for $100, $80 in nickels and $20 in dollars. Very early on, I believe the 5th hand I get A4 on the button. Four or five to the flop and it comes with an A4. I lead out and most fold except one who calls. Turn is a queen I believe and I lead out again for $25 and get another call. River is a another 4 and I check looking for a bet, which I get. He moves all in and I immediatly call and turn up the full house. He mucks without showing and is now tilting.
Later, I have about $300 in front of me. I look down one off the button at AA. It is raised to $10 in front of me by an equal sized stack to mine and I make it $40 to go. All fold back to the raiser. Flop is A 8 2 rainbow. Opponent is first to act and announces all-in. I insta-call and turn over the nuts. He does not show yet, and the dealer finishes the hand. He mucks his hand taps the table and says good hand. Over $600 pot. He has $6 bucks left and leaves it on the table and leaves. He said he had KK but I don't know why he would make that play on the flop with KK.

Still later I get aces again and flop yet another set. This was another $200 pot as the oppenent had AK and called my bets the whole way eventualy calling himself all-in.

The most amazing hand of the night was a hand near the end during which I was racking my chips up. I was BB and capped my chips as I was talking to the dealer. I never did look at the them. So the option gets to me and I say go ahead because I believe I was thinking I had my hand from the previous hand. The flop comes KKJ and I stop racking my chips to check my hand. I see JJ. Ok, cool this is a going to be good, there are about 6 players to this flop. I check and it checks around until late position bets out $20 into a $12 or so dollar pot. Oh goody, I call. Folds around and the turn snaps off another jack. And boom goes the dynamite! I look frustrated and check, and opponent bets out $50. Beautiful, I call. River is a blank, And I put him all in for approx, $40 more. Here it gets funny. Now keep in mind I have had aces 4 times in this 3 1/2 hour session. So he sits back and says something about, aces again huh. I am laughing inside my head. He is trying to put on some show, thinking his kings full are the nuts. He sits up and calls and turns up K9. I throw the 4 jacks out and he nearly falls over in his chair.

So the total for the session was $600 profit in 3 1/2 hours. I left at 5am only because I have to work today. I didn't want to leave though as I was simply running the table the whole time. I busted 6 people, one guy twice, during the course.

Also want to mention what a great room the MGM has. It and the Aladdin are my two favorite.

Nite

You checked in last position? Or did you actually get A4 in the BB?

Congrats on a nice session though

sounds fun...but don't think you were running the table...the deck simply ran over you!

i'm still trying to figure out the part with A4 on the button, leading out the betting, and then checking on the river looking for a bet....

but congrats on the run

Yea, this doesn't make sense huh. This was like the fifth hand I played and before several jager-bombs. I think I was in one of the blinds with this hand. Sorry for the confusion.

And yes the deck was running over me. After a couple hours though, the whole table would fold to my pre-flop raise, or bet on the flop, so I started to make a few sneaky plays with nothing.

jager is an acceptable answer for anything

Because he didnt know you had AA. Think about it , if you have AQ , AJ, even perhaps AK do you make the overbet call ? He tried to represent the hand you had.

why does this look like i quoted someone else, weird
