A Strip Trip Before We Head to Katy

Helen wanted to spend today prepping for our drive to Anna's in the morning, so she sent me to the Strip to make some gas money.

I arrived at Bally's about 11 a.m. and immediately got a seat in a $1-2 No Limit poker game. After buying in for $100, I didn't wait long to get into action.

On the third hand I was dealt, I looked down at Q-Q and raised the pot to $12. I got four callers and the dealer flopped a 10-J-Q, giving me a set. One guy bet $25 and two others folded while two of us called the bet. The turn card was a 4. The guy bet $25 and I went all-in for $65. One guy folded, while the original bettor called. I showed by 3 Qs and he showed K-K. That pot totalled over $200 and was the highlight of my session. I won 6 or 7 pots in the $50-60 range, but none over $100.

When the poker dust settled, I had won $635. That ought to be enough gas money to get us to Texas and back, LOL!
