I HATE Foxwoods!

I hate Foxwoods, although it isn't really Foxwood's fault. I have horrible luck there and have decided that because of this I will boycott that casino until further notice.

$80 buy-in tournament played on Monday...

First, it is quite difficult to find the damn poker room. The place is WAY too big, and the signs are just lacking. Took me nearly 10 min. to get to the poker room from the parking garage. Mind you I was already late for the start of the tournament. Anyway, I missed the first few hands and of course lost a big and small blind. Here is how the rest of my tournament went...

Fold, fold, fold, fold, etc.
Big blind (9 5 off) fold after flop.
Fold, fold, fold, etc.
KcJh - limp in, 3 other callers. flop: Ah 3h 5h. a bet of 200 called only by me. Turn: Ad. Checks from both of us. River: 10h. Other player bet 200, I called. I won the pot (1 of 2 that i won all tournament)

I fold every hand for the next 20 min. then finally get 6s6c and raise 3 times the big blind and get one caller. Flop: 9h 7d Js. my opponent checks and I push all in (I had 1/3 of my chips in with my raise so it was an easy move once he checked it to me.) He folded his hand and I took down the second of 2 hands I would win.

Another 20 min. goes by where all I do is fold. Yes, my hands were really that bad. 34, 97, 92, Q2, J6, all hands you just cant play, especially with a raise in front of you almost every hand.

So I look down and finally see something decent AcQs. A bunch of lay downs and then an all in from the only person at the table who actually had less chips than me (hurray!). Did I mention that this was a bounty tournament? $25 dollars for every knock out!! So anyway, after his all in, I move all in as well to make sure no one else calls as I am sure to have this guy dominated. Everyone else does fold and my opponent turns over Ad4d. I'm not to happy about him being suited, but I love that I am a 4 to 1 favorite...that is until the flop...4h 4c 10s...FUCK! I was in utter disbelief. The turn was another 10 and I am now down to my last 2000 in chips.

I probably folded the next 8 hands or so as my highest card was a 7. Then, under the gun I get a Kc5c, that was good enough for me. I push in my last 1800. I get called by the big blind who already had 1200 in the pot from his blind. He turns over 5h6c. Again, I am in love with this senerio, another dominating position for me...until the flop...2h 3s 4c...the son of a bitch flops a fucking straight! I couldn't believe it happened again. The turn was the 10c giving me a flush draw, but the river came the 9h and that was it for yours truly.

These are the types of things that happen to me at Foxwoods, which should explain my reasons for the boycot. Just bad luck there, crazy bad luck.
