Borgata debacle

Friday night poker at the Borgata. I decide to stay sober and try to pick up some drunks' money. The statistical nature of poker however did not work my way. The second hand of the night I doubled my stack from 240 to 480 when my set of jacks took down an ace high bluff attempt (A10!!!!), flop j48. After that was all down hill. My worst beat was AA to 89 suited. Flop A810, turn 8, river 8. I kid you not. The drunks just seemed to outdraw on everything. It was quite amazing. Unfortunately I had to leave Saturday so I ended up down 80. 80 is nothing but its just miserable with the way they were playing. There two jackasses would raise every other hand with any two cards. If anyone else witnessed this game let me know. $12 preflop raise with 35 offsuit only to make a straight. So atrocious and really no fun.

Bad beat stories are like assholes: everyone has one and they all stink.

You have to hate getting your money in on that flop against that hand.

By any chance were any of your opponents an Asian guy named Ken? I played at Borg two days in July and will always remember this guy because he played (and raised) more hands than anyone I've ever seen.

This is the "debacle"? And here I was expecting a good story. Thank you for waisting 2 min of my life.

FYP. Minor change...who wants to hear this stuff? Maybe I should set up an online service like those guys they profiled at the WSOP. $2.50 and I'll listen to your story. For $5 I'll actually care about it.

One time I took a crap... I got some on me. It was shitty.

I had top set on the flop busted up 4 times tonight, each pot 15-20 BB.

And I still finished my session up 7 BB.

Conclusion:

Idiots deal out bad beats, but they also make poker worth playing, gotta deal with it.
