Back from Weekend

Well I got back in from the Mountaineer Casino in West Virginia Sunday night. I was sooooooooo exhausted. I drove us down there on Friday for 6 hours or so and we got there probablyu at like 11pm or so. We played the whole night and I probably didn't end up going to sleep until 11am. I also hadn't slept more than 3 hours on Thursday night either so I was already kinda running low on sleep. So I play 2/5 nl the first night there figuring i'd see how the games are first and ended up just getting into a 2/5 nl game and not getting up. The game started off pretty good... nice and loose, but then later on in the night it was basically all tight ABC players left at my table and I was stuck in this 4 handed game where not much was happening the whole time. I ended up like +74 the first night. We end up leaving and getting our room at like 6-7am probably at which point we are told we're going to have to get a room for Friday night because checkin for Saturday rooms isnt until 12 noon. We had specfically called them up and asked about this prior to going and was told otherwise. So now we end up havin to pay fora room or two nights which came to $300, $100 a piece.

Whatever, we didn't have any other option unless it was to sleep in the car which it was too freezing to do. So Mirth and KP pass out in the room and I stay up playing some poker online until like 11am and make like $300 or so. I was using my new laptop which I love... I can 9 table on it pretty easily where all tables are clickable at all times due to the bigger resolution. It's also very powerful, I downoaded counterstrike just to play that and see how it ran and it ran great. Felt like a pretty powerful machine with a nice smooth glossy screen. I then order some room service which was great before passing out. The hotel we were staying in was really really nice compared to how run down and trashy the rest of the area we drove through was. The whole town looked depressd, poor, and antique... very similar to my school. But the hotel we stayed in was very nice and the room service food was great. I ate that then just passed out and didn't wake back up until Mith and KP came busting back in at like 7pm waking me up.

When I woke up we went back to the poker room, ate first and then started playing. I was originally waiting around for a 5/10 table to open up but when it was taking so long I just decided to do a 2/5 nl table instead while I waited. I ended up getting into some verbal alteraction with a 40 year old loud mouth fish at my table. We got into a dispute about some ruling in a hand... I was in a hand vs some fish who was in position vs me betting the flop and turn then I check river and he checks behind... I wanted him to show his hand first so I can see what he's doing this with and then this loudmouth idiot fish not even involved in hand starts yelling at me telling me to show my hand and hurry up. I didn't like the tone of his voice when he was talking to me so I told him to "stfu". I said some other stuff which I forget and he was talking shit back so I just decided to challenge him to heads up since playing a fish heads up is about the most profitable scenario you can get in poker. He and I then request to get our own heads up table which becomes the talk of the whole casino supposedly. Staff members were walking up to us during our game and saying how everyone upstairs is talking about it and how they've never seen anythingl ike it.

Didn't seem that big of a deal to me since id played fish heads up online numerous times and for more money. I basically was there to make money on the weekend anyway and since live poker is so slow to begin with this seemed perfect for me. So during our match the guy is constantly trying to needle me while we are going back and forth talking about poker. He tries to tell me that he's seen more hands in his lifetime than I have at which point I clearly try to explain to him why he's ignornat and how i've probably seen more hands than Doyle Brunson with the high volume 12 tabling ive done and play over the past couple of years. He kept bringing this up telling it to rail birds because he thought it sounded ridiculous. I just simply kept calling him ignorant and continuing to focus on the game. I was losing the heads up too btw due to some cold decks and runner runners that he kept on getting, but heads up live we probably played only a total of 100 hands.. so anything can hapen. I'd just played a fish earlier that morning online before going to sleep for probably like 2000 hands where he was up on me one point $1000 but I came back near the end and finished him off... so 100 hands live is nothing.

I ended up playing him for a while longer and then ended up down like $250 vs him before he quit me. I almost got into a fight with him which I won't bother posting here about. I grinded out the rest of the night at the 2/5 nl table which was very uneventful. Ended up down like $600 on the weekend overall live after paying for the room and stuff. I didn't go to sleep that night and ended up driving home at 12 noon and was exhausted trying to keep my eyes open the whole time. The casino overall was not worth going to over AC... games were not much easier and it was far away. Probably won't be going back.
