Drift On In Roadhouse

Decided to make the easy drive to No Seattle and play the Drift instead of the long drive to Muckleshoot. Got right into the only game in the room, 4/8. I'll post more after I go over a few hands i'd like to post. Right now i'm going to watch our Wa Huskies try to advance to the sweet 16 in NCAA b-ball.

Quick recap: A long 17 hr session where I was clobbered in the first 2 hours. Flopped set of Queens losses to riv flush, flopped set of nines loses to trip KINGS when me new friend hit his 2 outer on the riv. Huge pots and i'm stuck -250 early.

Built my stack back to about even when this lil dandy came up. I flop a Queen hi flush (QJ hearts in me pucket) and its 8/16 (kill) with lotsa action pre flop and 5 players seein the floppage. I'm not gonna slow play this. The pot is already big and I realize anyone with a big heart is gonna see the entire board. Lotsa bettin and raisin and its down to 2 of us at the riv. Turn and riv were blanks w/no hearts. I lose to a flopped ACE hi flush, nh gg, m'fer. HUGE pot. 2 more hrs to work my way outa this new hole. This is what we refer to as a CoLd DeCk boys and grrrrs!

I was successful changing the game to a kill and after starting at 7PM Thursday night I booked a +190 win and limped to the big Chrysler 12:15pm on Friday afternoon. 3-0 (WINS) since I broke my 13-0 win streak last week. Check out my hourly rate on this trip. $11.17 per hour. Even though I had a delicious Prime Rib dip, Mushroom Swiss Burger and choc. cheesecake fully comped, $11 an hour is not going to work. This week I will be focused and the cards will cooperate (ya sure).

I really like the Drift, great food, nice people, good comps on chow.

I will have some hand quizes in the next day or two. Stay tuned.
