while i've been a bum online for the last couple of months, offline poker is going well. all boring stuff aside (explaining what is "fold equity" to live fish, also i love how most of them misapply this concept, so the games are getting better), i played a 5\10 session today in one of Moscow's casinos on a stake, and that went pretty well. we were shorthanded for the most part, i was finally getting a feel of my A game, ran a couple of weird bluffs that ended up working anyway.

one hand was flat out awesome, though - both me and some mid-30ies guy were like 250bb deep (i moved to a different table since the main game broke), i get 77 in CO 7-handed, i open, he calls in SB, flop comes 7hAsKs, i bet, he raises a ridiculous amount, and starts acting like he's nervous. I mean, my reads on him would take a couple of pages, but long story short, i 3bet him and we get it in because he's a degenerate with too much money on his hands. Obviously he flips up QTss, as expected, sees my hand and says: "i'll give the waitress 100$ if i get a spade turn". Turn is a spade. Okay. Fine, I'm pretty drunk at that point and kind of tired of hopping tables. How about that, i ask the dealer to hold it, ask another waitress to come over and tell her to watch - if i river a full house or better, she gets 200$. River is an A. Shippppppppppp

Always bet on waitresses, i guess..

would love to write more, but too drunk and tired after a night out
