USA Day 3

Coolers at the Bike, grinding at Commerce ...
Started late after a long sleep & decided to head to the Bicycle Casino for some poker. Sat at a $2/3 NLHE game & it was one of those nights ... The first hand I played saw an UTG limper, a mid position raise to $20, a caller, and I look down at KK in the BB, so raise to $75. The UTG limper shoves for $90, the initial raiser folds & the caller & I see a flop of J52 with two spades. I shove the flop, which leads the other player to fold & the player who is all in says 'I think I have 2 outs' and asks me what my hand is. I tell him I have kings, just as the dealer turns the Queen of spades. Of course my opponent has QQ & even though a fourth spade comes on the river, my black king is a club, so I'm off to a great start!
I tread water for a while, until the next big cooler lands in my lap. This time there is a pre-flop limp, a raise to $15, a call on the button & I look down at 77 in the SB. I really hate playing small-mid pairs when out of position, so just call, hoping to flop a set or get away cheaply. The BB comes along for the ride as well. The flop comes down Q72 with two spades. I lead at the pot for $26, the BB calls & the pre-flop raiser makes it $75 to go. Perfect spot for me, right? ... Ordinarily the answer would be yes, but this is coolers at the Bike ... so I shove for about $170 total, the BB folds & the raiser insta-calls ... because he has QQ! FML indeed! The dealer then announces 'chips to table 7', in case the rest of the casino was unaware of my plight ...
Of course the rebuy starts off fantastically when a short stack raises pre-flop, I re-raise with AK & move him in on the flop for a little extra. Of course he has JJ & in case I thought of finding an ace or king, he turns a jack to seal the hand & my torture continues. I then run into another short stack who has a straight flush with JTs on a board of 9s8s6c7s3s & of course I pay off with AK with the king of clubs, thinking my hand was good after the turn went check-check. To complete my wonderful evening at the Bike I pick up 99 in the BB when short & raise to $20 with only $40 behind. Of course 4 of the 5 pre-flop limpers decide to call & I decide to shove pretty much any flop. Its A55 & I get one caller ... and I fear the worst, only to have my suspicions confirmed by the dealer pairing the ace on the turn & the caller turning over AJ for the winning full house ...
I decide its time to go find some food & jump in the car to see what I can find that isn't a McDonalds drive thru & before I find anything that fits my criteria I'm driving past the Commerce Casino & decide to go in ... of course a great way to overcome a tilt-inspiring session is to sit down in a limit Omaha hi-lo game ... but sometimes I break the rules!
Anyway, I decide to sit down in a $4/8 limit Omaha hi-lo (with a kill) game & proceed to play an 8 hour session & leave with a tidy $275 profit, simply by playing a tight ABC game & waiting for the many donkeys in the game to give me their money. Thankfully they mostly obliged. Of course the Omaha game with a kill occurs when a player scoops a pot that is over 5 big bets. After a long session, I leave at 9am with the sun already beating down ...
Next on the agenda ... sleep ... and a sense of de ja vu
