$5-10 LHE at Foxwoods.

My wife(Theresa) and I made a short trip to Foxwoods this weekend. We played some $5-10HE, with a full kill. The game was great, in 3 hours our combined win was $300. We could have continued crushing this game but we needed to get back to her sister's house in Newport Rhode Island. By the way it's beautiful in Newport this time of year. Nice cool breeze off the bay. There was a very popular boat show up there this weekend. Anyway back to the Poker at the new WPT branded room in Foxwoods. The waiting list to get a seat there has subsided. For the first few weeks, after they opened the new poker room, the wait to get in a $4-8 or $5-10 LHE game was crazy! It was like the wait used to be at the Borgata on a Saturday, before they opened up their new poker room. Let me tell you Poker is booming on the East coast! Anyway back to our game. There were like 5 solid tight players and 3 lose terrible players, as well as us. The real money to be made was from the nice guy in the 10 seat.(From now on I will refer to him as the ATM.) When I arrived at the table the ATM was just crushing it! I don't know how much he started with but he had 2 full racks of red($1000) plus about $350 in front of him.(Don't know how much he started with.) The guy next to me told me he was playing every hand and winning. I knew that couldn't last much longer. I saw him call someone on the river with a jack high and win the $120 pot! I can't believe the players at the table hadn't figure out he couldn't be bluffed. There was a man 2 players to his left,in the 8 seat, that was on tilt do to his running over of the table. For some reason he thought he could run Theresa over. Everytime a scare card came on the turn or river he tried to bully her out of the pot. I will now tell you of a hand between Theresa, the eight seat, and the ATM. She posted in the big blind and got dealt a Q-9 off. The flop came down 3 handed 9-3-2 with 2 spades. Theresa bet and they both called. The 5 of spades fell on the turn, Theresa didn't have a spade. She bet out and the 8 seat raised her.(As usual he was representing a draw that arrived on the turn.) The ATM cold called both bets. An offsuit Ten fell on the turn. Theresa checked and the eight seat checked behind her. This caused the ATM to bet out. Theresa called him and took down a nice pot with a pair of nines queen kicker. (The ATM had a pair of nines with a jack kicker.) Her instints in Poker are getting better and better. It sure looked like she was beat on the turn. Also when the ATM bet the river he could have easily called to the river with a ten in his hand. She was playing the players on the turn. Then she made the crying call on the end being the pot was so big. It looks like my teaching is getting thru. to her :-). By the way when we left the ATM was down to $400! Good Luck at the tables.
