Poker in Casino Morongo!!

So on a rather boring Tuesday afternoon my good friends Eddie, and Charles called my up and ask half jokingly if I wanted to go to Casino Morongo in Cabazon (CA). (well... WELL, what do you think this conversation is going to end up... lol)

Anyway, They picked me up at my brother's place around 10 PM in Rowland Heights, and after a brief rest in my friend's place, We drove about an hour to this beautiful Casino, ( For those of you really into poker, it is THE casino that held Poker Superstar II, where Johnny Chan won the whole thing and a nifty 400 grand.^^)

So the game begins, Eddie and Charles headed straight to the roulette table while I am trying to figured out a way to sign up for the 1-3 dollar blind Texas Hold'em table, which is, by the way the smallest stake they can offer.(One can imagine how many people are trying to sign up for that particular table.) After an hour of waiting (on the waitlist) and fooling around, losing $40 on roulette and slot machine on that period. The lady finally called my initial and then pointed to table 12 where I am going to be sitting.

Since this is the second time I am at a Casino table with this kind of stake, I only bought in for $40 to start. To my memory I don't know how I lost those $40 in less than an hour (think my all in on my big blind short stack with 9-10 off suit got cracked by AK person on my left and QQ on my right, gosh I was drawing dead when that person hit his trip Q's...), but I was still pissed, really REALLY pissed because I been playing poker for over an year, and recently, I played more than 7500 hands on Bodog.com. So I bought in for only 20 dollars more, saying to myself this is all I am going to wager tonight !!

Then comes this beautiful hand when I got K hQ d off, I got this painful look on my face because I heard that it is the losingest hand in poker because many people always over play it. Then... the flop strikes me K d Q h J d, Wow I have 2 top pair off the freaking flop... well... there is no other choice but to go all in, and to my amazement, 2 people called me almost rather instantly which worried me a bit, (do they have a straight or a set?... oh well guess i'll find out really soon.)

The turn brought a K c, which is a perfect card for me, I made my fullhouse. Both people that still got chips checked and the river brought an A s, which one person bets $20 the other called.

Side pot first, first person showed his A d 3 d, Flush draw end up hitting his ace on the river, second person showed his trip K's with a low kicker, so he won the side pot, and I scooped in all the rest of the money with my boat!! From that point on, it's been a breeze, I have been getting cards, QQ, AQ, AK, and increased my chip stack to about $160.

I end up cash out $139 because it's 4 AM in the morning. My friends are still going at roulette, Eddie is up about $250, while Charles is not doing so good when I got there, think he is down $80 at that point. Then ... within an hour, I lost all my winning on roulette again... F#$%#$%$# I haaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttteeeeeeeee roulette, jesus, that game should ban for casino ...lol. So I came out $5 down for the whole night. What a waste of time.

Better luck next time ... I guess... and NO MORE Roulette for ME!!!
