I made it out to Hollywood Casino in Charlestown West Virginia yesterday. It is about an hour and 20 minute drive from my hotel. I was in the poker room playing at about 2:30. I decided I did not want to play in the 1-3 no limit game and that I wanted to take a shot at the bigger 2-5 no limit game. I sat down with the minimum buy in of 300. I had to play extreamly carefully in this game. At least 4 people had about 1500 in front of them and no-one had less than 500 that I could tell. Throughout the game there was plenty of bluffing going on with the big stacks, so really had to be selective of my position and starting hands. Luckily I got off to an early good start. The first hour was good I was up almost 400 after playing 3 hands.
The first hand I played was QQ I was in early position so just called for 5 and then it got raised in late position to 85. I called and there was another caller. The flop brought a K, I decided to check. There was 250 in the pot so if I would have lead out it would have had to be a good sized bet, and if I got raised that could very well have had to call my entire buy-in. The flop was checked around. The turn and river was also checked around, looks like we where all afraid of that K. My QQ won, the other two hands where AJ and JJ. The next hand I played was in the BB with and 8-7. I flopped top pair and lead out and bet 45 and was called. The turn brought a 7 so I lead out and bet 75 and was called. On the river I bet 125 and got him to fold. Then the last hand I played in the first hour was KK and took down a small pot, I pre-flop raised to 20 got one caller, lead out and bet the flop and he folded.
The next 2 hours I could not catch a hand at all, and I bled down my chips a bit after 3 hours total I cashed out.
