New Mexico Poker-YIKES


What is it with casino poker players? So I take a trip to New Mexico with a friend to ski, just so happens there's a casino at almost every block, not quite but u get my drift. Sandia Resort and Casino, nice place but wow, they need to throw some holdem classes DAILY. Anyway, they have the norms, 1-2 holdem, and 4-8 limit, two pretty good games. I decide to take 100 into 1-2, yeah my all-in for around 40 bucks got called by QJ off suite with a guy who didn't have that much, wow, of course, he rivers a jack. The day after next a take 40 into 4-8, i take the 40 to around 80 then catch pocket Kings........he calls me all the way down with a pair of fives and then hit his second card the nine on the river, yes, he was holding 9-5 off suite, he took down a 55 dollar pot. WHAT AN IDIOT.........ok, enough of that, but the ski resort was good to me, nice people and a ton of snow, im talking 76". yeah....good stuff.

I missed the clara birthday tournament and more importantly, the new pokeroom with new paint and fixtures, jk clara ; ). but good job on that guys, looks great from the pictures.

Here's a pic of the casino, nice but wow, the vacancy of talent within the walls of the pokerroom.

7 2 suited baby!!! The hand that changed Mondo's life

As everybody knows, this last weekend's tournament pretty much blew. Ran into pocket aces when i picked up pocket tens with just me and the small blind in, yeah....all-in trying to bully and simply steal, but no, ran into the best starting hand in poker, nice play. Then little mondo ends up with rockets to send me out of the tourny, what are you gonna do. Pretty fun weekend except for losing about 45 dollars. I told everybody before that when there is bounty's on everyone, I never even money! Oh well, fun time I suppose.

I think i found mondo a shirt that he definitely needs to purchase......what does everyone else think??

Yeah, thats about right. As everyone knows the large hand I was involved in with scott, todd, and mondo....damn 7. You can read in more detail about what happened on mondo's blog. Oh well, I knew it was comin, the saying........lucky, lucky, lucky was at its best in this hand. Any way, hope to see you all at Jim's NEW pokerroom on saturday!!
