Last night at the Moose there was a promotion going on. People got tickets for a drawing when they won on Spanish 21 matches....the best odds going....for the casino! The tables were all packed. I could not find a seat to cash in my $15 free play, it was that crowded. They were constantly talking on the microphone which was super loud, even in the poker room. Jeff Hendler even got up and left he was so annoyed with it.
They were also doing drawings for cash prizes for all players, including poker. Everyone around me was winning. Literally. The guy to my left won $300, and the player to my right won $500. The next table also had a winner and they kept getting Monte Carlos all night. Not one was dealt to the main game.
I got stuck for $300, rebought after visiting my friend, Adam (ATM). Had some pretty bad beats, including a flopped full house that got beat on the river by a bigger full house (I was playing 6/6, he had 9/4 if that gives you any clue to the beat). Flop was 6/9/9. At no point did I bet or raise. All the betting was being done for me. If you think I could have gotten a fold at any point with a raise, you are dead wrong. But generally, just got really bad cards and lots of 2nd bests and river beats. To make matters worse, Thuy was on my left most of the night and straddled every hand. I got to leaving my big blind for 2 hands and coming in after the button. Love that trick.
After rebuying for my last time I finally starting catching some cards. My best was calling a $5 raise from a new player (he had aces) with my 2/2. The flop was queen high with a 2. I bet all the way, with him raising on the river when a king hit. Nice pot.
Left after 7 hours of play down about $125 which was a great recovery.

I hear you about the noise. The last couple of weekends (I guess starting with President's Day holiday weekend) were super busy in the poker room & the pit & sometimes it was truly hard to even think about my hands. I'm glad to hear you may somewhat of a comeback. I haven't hit anything on the board or a high hand since the end of February. Weird.
I'm playing the free roll Saturday at 1pm. How about you? Good luck!
