Oklahoma where the winds come sweeping down the plains...

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!
