Last weekend

Steve and I decided to leave for the casino at around 2:00 am; About an half hour after we got off work. We went home, respectively, showered and changed then got our bags together and he met me at my house and we jumped in his car and took off. We got there around 5:30 am, and pretty much sat down immediately. There were two open tables and I let him get first option. We were split between two tables. Being my first time playing 2-5 seriously, I was a little apprehensive. I was in seat 5 and seat 4 was so deepstacked that I couldn't help but get nervous. Thankfully him being there saved me a lot of money on premium hands that didn't end up hitting anyway, so I was safe for the few hours before our table finally broke. Making no traction, and down about 50 bucks, we all moved to the other table where Steve was. This table was pretty crazy as well, 3 deep stacks, including Steve himself, and the previous seat 4 stack which moved from my last table to the exact same seat on this table.

Hours go by and it's now 8 am. I look down at JJ. Short stacked as I was, I put $50 in with my $200 remaining. Steve, next to me, puts $50 on top making it $100 straight. Shit, he's got a big pocket pair too. Probably aces. Seat 6, who had been loose all morning long, moves another $100 on top, putting me all in. This is going to get messy. I go all in with my jacks. Steve thinks for a moment and calls the big raise, trying not to let the pot get out of control. flop comes blank 3 J. I get up out of my seat and wait for them to finish going all in. Steve, seeing that I hit, makes the obvious call. Only one person can have jacks with that flop. Three way all in, Blank, 3 comes and rounds out the board. I show my boat while it's heads up for the sidepot. Aces versus Queens. A three way all in, Aces, Queens and Jacks, and Jacks took it. Steve was kind of amazed that I cracked his aces. I was happy to still be alive. I stack my chips and sit quietly.

We finally cashed at 12 noon the next day, I made $30 bucks in 7 hours, Steve on the other hand cashed that day with over $1400 in winnings. Sleep deprived and hungry, we head to the chilis to wash away all those hands and finally check in and sleep. Check in at 1:30pm, shower and lights out. We didn't wake up until 5:30 pm when Steve's phone went off.

Of course, now that we're awake we can't possibly go to sleep. We wash our faces and get ready for our second grinder. Little did we know session 2 was going to be much more interesting than we had hoped for.

Coming up later, Day 2, Sick sick sicker.
