Os Club

Played poker last night and ended a long losing/breaking even streak. Most Wednesdays I play the house game in Kensington but I just decided that it's not worth it, as far as the drive and the money I make from it.

But you know me, I have to play poker on a Wednesday.

So, last night me and my girl stopped by the Os Club. I haven't been there in a while because I have been spending all my time with her.

When we pulled up there were cars galore, which is a sweet sign. The tournament was still going and there were open seats at the cash game, and this is at 10:30PM. Which is just awesome.

I buyin with 200. 10 hands later or so I get dealt 95 suited in the small blind and decide to guage the table.

Limp, Limp, Limp, Limp I make it $20.00

Call Call Call Call

Well shit, this table is fantastic.

The flop is Q84, I check trying to represent a possible set :P
Guy in mid bets out and guy after him min raises him. Mid thinks about it and says
you must have 2 pair or a set or 4s. He folds the guy shows down Q8s, and I say I had jacks. Oh my god I'm in heaven.

I was not happy I couldn't show down my 95s bluff.

So I raise it up with 43s a little later, and continuation bet the flop with two callers with is Q high and a short stack goes all in for 31 more and I say I am pretty sure I have you beat but I can't call and show my 4 high. He laughs and claims we play alike, which I highly doubt.

I grind it out for a few hours and finally get KK in late position.

Limped pot to fish who bets out 17$, call, call, make it $70.00.
Fish calls and everyone else folds.
I'm all-in in the dark.
The flop is 222
Fish says I can't lay down a full house and calls with his 77.
Ship it.

Now I'm superstacked which is sweet, I just take down pot after pot and play very aggressively, and pretty much everyone is scared to call me on anything.

Until.....

I get AA in mid pos,
Make it $25 to go
fold fold fold, what's this Fish calls again, he has 77 again...
Is this a repeat?
J high flop
check to me I bet 50 he goes all in for 105
CALL
I just have aces. Ship it.


Time to go, nothing but regulars, I cash out 605 after buying in for 200.

It is worth noting that I had 95o and 95s over 30 times this session.
The dealer didn't believe me until I started to show him my hands.
