1/2 NL, [x] wat?

I went to a casino with my friend, and we played some 1/2 nl cash. Bought in for 100bbs and immediately lost 100 bucks straight. Most of it from 2 hands that were really weird. The first was just an all in (sigh). I made chat with this nice guy on my right, and all he could talk about was how today wasn't his day and that he was down to $33 bucks. I literally say, "don't worry you'll double up" as a new hand was being dealt. Ya, he doubled off me within the next 30 seconds with my KK < AQ. That's cool, at least I had to take a 20 mile trip to lose another one of those. -GV, gas value.

Shortly after a weird hand ensued where I chose to limp behind an EP limp with ATc after debating raising or not. It folded to some 30 yr old guy who limped. Imagine Ryan Seacrest if he gained 25lbs and wore a hat. The sb completes, and the bb checks. We see a flop of AhKd3d. I just bet $5 into a pot of 9. 2 callers. Pot is 24 as we see the 9h peel on the turn. I bet 6, and Ryan Seacrest calls, other guy folds. Pot 36 to river. River is Th. He checks. It really feels like he has a missed diamond draw, weak ace, or most likely Kx. I bet 14 for value and he calls. I confidently turn 2 pr up as he shows me K5h. Um...?

I end up getting it back from this same player a little bit later when I have AKc on Ax5c7c and he has a red AQo. We get it all on the flop for like $250ish and I take it, nice.

I proceed to weave a bit and I win 3 pretty nice hands with pure air. One hand in particular was vs. an older guy with slick gray hair. Folds to me utg+3 and I make it 6 with 65o. Btn, nitty shorter stack who loves flops but hates missing lol calls with 40 bucks behind. BB, slick grey guy, calls with $200ish behind. Flop 983, they both check to me and I decided to peel. Turn Q. They both check, I bet 8 into 19 only grey guy calls. On flop I noticed he didn't care as the moment he missed (I assume) he went right back to watching Gus Hansen pwn a wpt on TV. LOL, ty casino TVs. I assume he has a gutter now or a weak Q. River is a 2, complete brick. He checks, and I bet 22. Interestingly, he had raised 22 four different times pf and it became a well known joke that when this particular player bets 22 he has pocket tens. He asks me if I have TT and folds. Ship it 6 high.

I ended up only 50 for the night tx to a pissed off 3b I made over a straddle with 96o and then flopped the nuts. No fun there, just some guy and his gf got mad at me for playing 96o. I wanted to say it's a sex position, maybe you guys should try it when you get home. But I held it in.

The only hand that bugs me is this one. Utg, basically a blinged out slum dog millionaire guy with his gf behind him, min raises. His gf has got like 10 bracelets on, bro. Anyway, I thought it was weird, cause he was always 8/10 raising pf. His image was, however, very tight. He had $350 ish, at this time I had $285. I flatted with K8c. One other guy called in blinds. We see a flop of 872 rainbow, 1 club. Slum dog bets 10, I call. Other folds. Turn 3c, he bets 20. I think crap, he's blinged out nit, he has it. Stacks are like 100+bbs deep, so I roll my eyes inside my skull and call. River is Qh. And this is where it gets weird. Throughout this hand, and the whole night actually, the entire table was just making snap decisions. All night. And here, this guy, starts tanking and counting his chips. I felt this vibe just fall across the table. What is he thinking about now? Why isn't this an easy bet for him. What changed? JJ? He hates the Q? He sat there shuffling his red $5 chips trying to figure out what to do. After about 25-35 seconds, literally, he bets 40. And then, he starts staring at me. He looked petrified. wtf? What is he afraid of? He never looked ever. The entire hand. Now he's staring into my eyes. It felt so awkward. So I asked him, "did you min raise straddle pf or did you raise?" I knew he raised. But wanted to hear what he said. Nothing. He just stared at me so worried. I roll my eyes and say "worst call ever" and call. He flips AA. Huh, how cliche.
