After a long absence, I returned to a casino to play poker. I hadn't played at a casino in about 6 months I think. It was a pretty typical 6/12 game at Bay 101. I made about $114 in 3 hours. Mike made more than $200+, playing somewhat looser than he should have and Kojo was down a fair bit also playing somewhat looser than he should have. We were seated all at the same table for most of the night so that made it fun by itself.

A couple of somewhat interesting hands.

I have AA in the big blind, mid position player limps, cutoff limps, small blind limps. I raise. All call. Flop is A 8 6 with 2 clubs. Small blind checks, I bet, mid position limper raises, cutoff calls 2 bets, I call. Turn is an offsuit 3, I check, raiser bets, cutoff calls, I check raise, mid position 3 bets, cutoff finally decides he's screwed and folds. I put the mid position guy all in for 2 more chips. River finishes the flush, but thankfully he only has A8, my top set is good.

I have AKo in the small blind. One player limps, cutoff limps. I raise from the small blind 3 callers. Flop is Q83, 2 hearts. I bet out. Cutoff calls. Turn is a small heart. I check, cutoff bets. Sadly, I have to look at my cards here to figure out that I do actually have the K of hearts. Usually I don't have to look to remember. But with the K of hearts I call. River is an offsuit Ace. I check, he bets as expected and I call as I had pre-planned. His JhTd had some draws, none of which got there and most of which would have been more expensive for him.
