Went Back to the Casino Arizona Poker Room

     Well, took another Wednesday trip to C.A.P.R. (Casino Arizona Poker Room) and then swung over to the Vemma store in Scottsdale on the way back to pick up some people’s orders ( and raid the samples in the refrigerater).

      I got into the $1-2-250 fairly quickly lost about fithty dollars  and then was called for a seat in the Omaha 08 game, so I switched over ( and did I mention it was my wife who busted my pocket ten’s  and took my money….oh I didn’t…ok then …moving on….). I make the nut straight the second hand I sit down, get paid off and things are starting to look like their going to be pretty good. There is several people from the other week at the table  and I recognize another from playing here a long time ago. Lots of calling stations, not real aggressive, and just waiting to give me all their money.  At least that was the plan….until……… (you are now entering Omaha HELL!!!!!)……..I flop the nuts, turn even better hand and slammed on the river and i get nothing. One premium hand after another. Hitting like crazy and they just can’t hold up, straights are ripped, flushes down the drain and all my boats are sunk (and did I mention how my wife saw I was giving so much away that she came over from the other table to join the party and take all my money…….no, …..ok….)

     So I guess I trying to say that it didn’t really go well and as horrible as it sounds I still had a pretty good time. I do love the game and like I tell other people when they are getting run over…”..you can’t  just love it when your winning …if you can’t find  anything good even when your losing you really shouldn’t be playing this game…” ( people give me the finger alot, and tell me to shut the f@%ck up). 

     Now, after busting out a couple times, here comes the moment of grim truth that all poker players must face, do I or don’t I re-buy again. I had already started considering this as my chips were dwindling and the table was using me as their personal ATM machine and here it is I’m in a hand that was capped pre-flop with the raiser to my left and I just flopped the nuts. Well I think I’m about to get my answer. Win, and keep playing and turn it around, or lose and cut the noose before the losses become any worse. So sure enough the river pairs the board giving usual donator a full house. Got my answer, I listened and got up. They will bring my money back another day and I’ll get it back, this I am sure of.

     I then proceed to play some of the ancient video poker machines the newly renovated casino have provided while I wait for my wife  (and hope she cleans them all out). I recommend not doing this. They have these machines cranked down so tight it was a miracle just getting a qualifying pair, which then only gives you your bet back. Now this was torture.

     We finished up with getting rid of all the pesky extra money we had, and now it’s off to the Vemma store. The candy land of liquid nutrition. It’s really funny how goofy and kid like this place makes my wife and I. Laughter is contagious and healing. We pick up some Verve, Vemma, and Verve shots  for some people my wife knows who work at The Center for the New Age in Sedona.

     And now it’s back up the mountain for the return trip……..pick up our daughter…….family time…….and wait a second ….the night is still young and there is a casino right down the next exit with people just waiting to give me money.
