Poker in LA has been interesting. The heads up match didn’t last long. Had AK on a AK3 board. I fire, he calls, turn a 3. I fire, he min raises and I call. On the river he moves all in. I have to fold. This was half my stack. Then I turn a straight, push to protect it and he calls with top pair and a four flusher and rivers the flush. Nice hand sir was all I could say.

Played cash and ate. Had worked up a few hundred dollar profit and getting ready to leave when in big blind I have K 9. Small blind makes it $15, I’m in for $5 already and another player stays in. Flop is 5 5 9, original bettor makes it $35, I make it $100, just making a move, and the original raiser throws Aces away face up. He was NOT happy when I turn up K 9 as the other player who only had $40 behind calls my raise with A 9. I hit the K on the turn to win and to begin a torrent of abuse by the guy to my right. He went on and on and said what did you think I was betting with? Finally I said “look buddy, I was making a move, you folded the best hand, its poker. But if you want to keep me from outplaying you bet more than $15 with those aces.”. I left shortly thereafter with his money in my pocket. Play today at 1 pm. $250,000 guarantee.
