So I headed up to Hazel Park Raceway for their Monday freeroll w/rebuys & Add-ons, and was hoping for a deep run this week. Sat down at my first table, and chuckled at the sight of half the players wearing sunglasses. Errrrr, okay...this is friggin' freeroll, people!
Nothing happening first few hands, but then I gain 1200 chips by flopping a straight, then letting a horse bettor jam all-in with top pair/weak kicker. Unfortunately, this will be my high water mark for the night, as nuttiness sets in soon afterwards.
2 hands later (blinds still at 25/50) we see 3 limpers, but with 10-10 in my hand, I have to raise. Goofball on my left calls, and older gentleman who won't rebuy calls off all his chips. 3-way flop of 10-6-2 rainbow looks like gold, and after I check goofball on left bets out 400 - I smooth-call. Turn of a jack of nothing doesn't help him, but since he looks pot-committed, I put him all-in, which gets an insta-call with.....5-3 off? Seeing what the title of this post was, this will come as no surprise that to anyone that a 4 hits on the river to give goofball a straight. Oy - the landmines to dodge here.
Next hand I get A-10 clubs in the BB - 3 way flop sees me flop the nut flush, SB open-jams for all his chips 800, and it's a pretty easy call to make here. Oops, pair of kings...maybe not such a good idea. K on turn gives him trips, and J on the river gives him the boat...yeehaw! Down to 300 chips :-\ Dude celebrates afterwards like he just won the WSOP or something...lol.
2 hands later, get 8-8 - shove and get called by 2-2, 7-7, and 5-3. Flop of 5-5-5 is just wrong on so many levels, but then to throw an 8 out there on the river just adds insult to injury. I think about throwing another 10 into the kitty and rebuying, and just determine that tonight wasn't my night there.
In the meantime, it's just after 7:30 - plenty of time to hop down 9 Mile and make it to Dino's. It's got to be a little better over at Dino's, right?

Apparently it was better at Dino's lmao.
Hey, I haven't written that part yet. Let's just start by saying that it was a strange final table...4 bustouts in first 2 hands once down to 10, about an hour and 40 minutes to get to get to a winner.
Oh yeah, the play in those freerolls at HP make WDR and Hubble freeroll players look uber-tight...I think I'll wait and play a $20-$30 buy-in in the near future, and skip the freerolls.
