How are you doing at the tables (Poker Thread)?

[JohnnyFlake]

This is an interesting thread. It was a great idea!

Since I now live in Henderson, Nevada a suburb of Las Vegas, I have many casinos to play poker in. However, I probably play 90% of the time at either the Green Valley Range Casino or the South Point Casino. Most of the time I play $2/$4 Texas Holdem, however, when they get one started, I also play $3/$6 Holdem, which I prefer. On a rare occasion I'll play $4/$8, however, when I have enough to play $4/$8 I prefer to get into a $1/$2 No Limit Game. The $1/$2 No Limit requires a minimum $100 buy-in with a maximum buy-in of $300. You can re-buy at the table, anytime your stack is under $100, prior to the next hand.

On average I play two secessions a week, 3 to 5 hours each.

Of late, I have been having a bad run, barely playing even, and losing more often than not! To show you how bad my lucks been running, I decided to play in a $1/$2 No Limit Game, last week, hoping to change my bad streak. I bought in for $200 and on the very first hand, I was dealt pocket rockets the Club & Spade. To make a long story short, prior to the flop, I was forced to go all in. There were three of us left. The flop comes 5, 10, jack of hearts. The other two players still had money in front of them so there was a surprising low $100 bet made. Of course it was called. The turn was the 2 of hearts and both of the other players checked. The river, I believe was the 3 of clubs. One of the other players had about $200 left and went all-in, the other had a little more than $200 left and called. The show down, left me with two aces. One of the other players showed a pair of Kings, both red for a King high heart flush, and the other, showed a pair of aces, both red with an ace high heart flush!!! WTF!
