More Rodrigo y Gabriela- Captain Casanova

I can't get over how awesome these two are. If they come to a town near you GO! I'll be at the next Atlanta show since I doubt they'll make it to B'ham. They are releasing a live album in October so be on the lookout for it.

You're Never Going To Believe This...

If anyone still reads this blog let me apologize for not updating in a while. I'll try to do a better job of posting and thanks for reading.

So anyway, I've recently made Deuces Cracked my new home for poker training and it's an awesome site! Their videos are top quality and they offer a free 7 day trial so you can sample their product. They feature a different way of doing videos that really focuses on getting you to the next level of poker, whether it be in Limit, No Limit, or even Pot Limit Omaha. By the way this is an unpaid advertisement. I just believe in their site so much and think anyone interested in bettering their game should sign up there.

Now to the unbelievable part of the thread. As you may know I decided to focus more on Limit Hold 'Em now and it's going OK. I've watched a series on 6-max Limit at DC and am reading the tables better and grinding out some profits. I'm also trying out some new concepts from there for Heads Up Limit, but only on free chip tables at Bodog.

So I sit down at a 5/10 HU Limit table and see there's some guy sitting with 300 chips. I match his total and we start playing. He immediately starts raising on the Button which doesn't happen too much in free chip play. I figure I'll add more chips to cover him and that'll make me feel better. Well, we play some more and he's very passive when he's Out Of Position (OOP) so I float him a few times on the flop and start check raising him on the turn. He starts folding and I'm getting a good read that he can be exploited in early position a lot, and he''ll give me a lot of respect.

We play for about 20 minutes and all of a sudden he sits out, saying I play too slow.
Now here is where it gets interesting. I tell him, "Sorry, I can only play as fast as the cards are dealt, so maybe it's just that I'm a better player than you are."(trying to keep him at the table)

His response is that we should compare bankrolls if I think I'm better - common trash talk between players - and I retort that we should go sit a $500 Sit and Go and that I can't believe he's so bent while sitting at a play chip table. I mean come on, brother, it's play chips. What's the big deal? He says, "Am I really at a free chip table?" Is this guy dense or what?

So I reply, "Well the last time I checked you're sitting on a play chip table, aren't you?"

"Again, am I really?" he says yet again.

And then it dawns on me. Maybe I should check the lobby to see. It turns out I'm sitting at a 5/10 real money table!

Talk about the ultimate mis-click! I put my whole bankroll on the table and didn't even realize it! As it turned out I won about $40.00 and I'm thankful he sat out.

Next time I'll be sure to stay away from that guy and those stakes until I'm ready for them. Or am I that good already? Yeah, right!

Good luck on the felt and may the good cards hit your hand.......
