No Poker God

Two weeks ago when I was in Arizona I posted a blog about one evening of playing, nothing to exciting. What I didn't post was the day I was leaving I had a few hours to spare so I went back to the casino and it was a horrible experience. Within an hour I lost $100 from donkey's that would chase and chase the River and their golden ticket to my money.

As I don't want to upset myself again, I won't give details but let me just say that two hands back to back, I had flopped trips and raised, reraised, etc and both times someone called me down and made better trips from the river cards. This happened over and over and over again in that one hour.

I have a subscription to Bluff Magazine and I actually received the April edition the day before I left for AZ. I put it in my bag and boarded the plane thinking I would read it on the 4 hour flight down. I didn't. Instead my ipod touch was more entertaining and I actually watched 2008 WSOP.

Last night I finally pulled out the April edition and started reading it. Got to page 36 and found an article by Adam Slutsky called "Return To The Valley of The Donks, Who Knew The World's Biggest Fish Were In The Desert?" Next to it is a pic of the Arizona state flag. Interesting, I start to read.

The article goes on to explain why AZ doesn't have No Limit and how they have created this stupid $5-$150 game and about how bad the players are at Casino Arizona. Three full pages about DONKEY'S at this one particular casino.

Of course, now I am thinking if I had read this before would I have gone back for the 2nd adventure, knowing the night before (although I basically broke even) I was shocked at how that one guy was caughting all kinds of cards but the fact was he was playing EVERY two cards and NEVER folded!! First blog about Casino Arizona I think I said the Poker God's were looking over him that night... I take that back. There is no Poker God, just good poker players and DONKEY'S.

Next time, I'll read my magazine before I go, laugh.

PEACE.
