8-5 and the Orange hat

Made it to Aladdin tonite about 11pm to play 1 -2 No Limit. When I arrive there where two tables going and as was the case the night before, Mike and John were seated and already had chip stacks. I was seated in the other game. I was card dead most of the session til our table broke and we combind to one table. We were 4 handed for over an hour, I liked this game because the major calling station was in it and he was trying to give away his money.

So I title this blog the 8-5 and the Orange hat. My reason for this is pretty simple, there was a player playing at my first table who was brought this game making it 6 handed, as another table had broke. He was from Canada, was very loose agressive, and he had an orange hat on. And it was bright Orange, like contruction cone orange. Anyway as he sat down with his $600 in chips, I knew he was ready to Rock n Roll. As I suspected he started raising hands, except umlike his last table, our tables calling station was taking it upon himself to extract every chips from the Canadian. He was talking and made a gay joke about another players, basically saying he looked gay. I took this oppurtunity to rile him up, I knew if he got any type of resistance it would question his man hood and he would go on major tilt. Man I was right I said to the player he was making fun of, "He's calling you gay? That is coming from a guy with a bright Orange hat on." The Canadian about left his seat. He started saying things like "How is that relevaent" all while he was now raising to $25 every hand, the sad thing is I could not pick up a hand at this point, but Patrick from last nights blog did. While on the button Patrck limped with the 8d 5d, the Canadian was in the Small Blind and made it $20, the calling station called, as well as did Patrick. The flop of 8s 6h 4d came down the Canadian led out for $60, the calling station called and Patrcik decided to push all in for $129 more, the dealer announced the raise and the Canadian threw in $49 in chips, the dealers said $100 more please and he tried to take it back. I said to get the floor and the floor made the money play, the player folded losing $29 more dollars, the calling station called, he show 6c 7c, Patrck showed his 8d 5d. Pats hand stood up and he was pushed the pot.

Now earlier in the session on the same board I had the same hand as Patrick against the calling station flodded to pair as well and rivered the straight. Kind of funny that we both won pretty good size pot with that hand.

As I wrapped up my session at 5am, I was up $213 for the session. not too bad since I was down for the majority of the session.
