3 + 4 + 3 = $700

I touched the felt, I shuffled the chips between my fingers, I come home $700 up. Yep that's right, decided to head to Caesars... well I thought I was going to Caesars. Half way there I started seeing Horseshoe signs. I was thinking where is there a Horseshoe in IN... as I turn into the parking lot of Caesars I see the lucky horseshoe, finally I put 2 + 2 together and realize Horseshoe has bought Caesars.

Poker room is being remodeled to make it better then before. Hell I thought it was a great poker room when Caesars ran it, how much better could it be. Guess I will find out on July 12th when I go back.

When I got there around 9:30 am they had one table going with $1/$2 NL so I put my name on the list. After a short wait I bought in for $300 (table max). This was a good time for me to get to the table. Of the 9 players (me included) I was the only one that had not been there 12 plus hours, this is a good thing. Players were tried, stupid, drunk. Me, bright eyed and brushy tailed.

After about an hour I look down at pocket Aces. I raise in middle position to $15 and get 4 callers.... yes 4 callers so a total of 5 people to the flop. Not what I wanted. Flop came blank, blank K... first person check's I bet $15 and person on my left re-raises to a total of $65 the other 3 players fold. I think about it and call. Turn comes an Ace. DING DING DING... I hit the jackpot. I thought the one guy might have trip King's and I had already been thinking I might have to lay down my pocket rockets but now I'm in glory land baby.

I bet $60 and he goes in the think tank and finally pushes all in... he has me covered... when I started the hand I had about $265 .. of course I call his all in and YEP he had trip Kings to my trip Ace's... River was a blank and I win a MONSTER pot. This puts me at about $650 and I go on for another two hours or so and build my pot to $1000 and cash out.

Two racks of red baby... I'm up $700 for about 4 hours of work.

3 hour drive there... 4 hours of play... 3 hour drive back = $700.

My bankroll will not increase by $700 because I am moving and will be using this money for painters and movers rather then my poker bankroll (I'm being responsible)

Can't wait to get back to the felt.
