Well I am now in Oklahoma for business for the next 4 months or so. Another "Poker State" in Native American casinos, opportunity to play with those that do not know my game. Unfortunately it is a 45 minute drive...
I had a winning session finally after about a month off from live poker play in 1-2 No Limit Hold'em, taking a small bite out of my overall losses. Hopefully buisness and family obligations will allow a once a week trip to the poker table.
One thing I did in my session was be patient with a player across the table that I had a pretty good read on. He was betting/representing flush draw on every flop that had two suited cards in it. After the third time in a row from late position, I knew he was playing position only. The table was afraid of him when he bet big and killed the pot odds. I had two pair on the flop the third time, but took the hint when everyone else folded.
Well after one more occurrence in which I folded two pair, I decided that I would look him up the next time it happened (it was time to peek under his skirt). Well it happened, this time I had won a few small pots in previous hands to have him covered this one. Better yet, a third player called his big bet on the flop sweetin' the deal. He went all in on the turn which did not match the other suited cards so I called.
I showed my two pair, and he showed Jack Shite... I won a 3 digit pot, and on the next hand hit a small jackpot with quad 3's plus the main pot. It was time to leave after busting two players and hitting a small jackpot.
Tune in next week (or so) to see if it was luck or talent!
