Trouble in Tullalip

What a great casino and poker room! Beautiful, spacious and many games offered. I sign up for the 3/6 and 4/8 games, and after a half hour I get in the 4/8. It is a pretty bad group of players, with one young gun raising on the button every time (I am in the under-the gun position on him, so it is not a big deal to me, I usually have already folded. I am having one of those days where every hand I don’t chase or don’t enter would have won, and every hand I do enter, I have to fold on the flop cause I missed big. I play pretty tight and watch the old guy next to me rack up about 400 in chips. He is catching everything, plus his hands are holding up. I flop a nut flush draw with a/9 suited on a kq flop with two clubs. I bet, he raises and I call. The turn is an ace, so I bet again, he raises and I again call. The river misses my clubs, I check/call to see his A/K win.

My consolation after losing about $70 is that I watched several players drop 2-300 each. I checked the rake out, and it was huge, at least 4 max, plus multiple drops in the bonus slot, which I had never seen before. They had a $200/hr high hand going, which was won each hour by very weak full houses, with at least 7 tables going….missed opportunity.
