Blinds 1/2k I am UTG and pot to 7k

BB defends

He checkraises me on the flop after I pot for 15k and have about 10k more behind

He binks a T on the turn, we don't get there on the river. Out 12th whomp whomp

How many chips did he start the hand with? you started with ~32K?
 
Went rollerskating tonight to a new rink. Bit smaller than the rink I had been using, but the floor had a nicer surface, staff was a million times better and so were the customers, plus the pricing was also better.

The previous rink I was skating at I went on a Friday night and the DJ played mumble rap.........that's it, that's ALL he played, ALL fucking night. I requested a song earlier in the night before the main DJ was in the booth and the guy there played it the very next song. But when captain mumble rap was in the booth an hour and a half passed, I inquired about my song and he told me it was "added to the list" and tried to claim he had zero control over when the song would come up (yet he's able to manually do a fast skate and play Bodies by Drowning Pool........which is the ONLY song they ever play for the fast skate every week)

Kids were running around full speed off the skate floor, wrestling each other, dragging buddies off the skate floor over the wall onto the carpet, kids skating while texting, staff was next to useless as there were no consequences for the out of control crotch goblins.

My old rink used to be good, but new staff and a new crowd has brought it into the dumps, so glad I found a new rink to skate at.

Aside from that, back at it Thurs/Fri/Sat afternoons at the Hard Rock Tampa for some PLO action. Heard from a guy who has an open spot on Sundays for D&D so didn't want to play the tourney and make Day 2 and have to cancel on my first day invited to this new group.
 
Wait, there are THREE different roller rinks a reasonable distance from your house?

I mean, it's not like there is nothing fun to do in Florida. WTF is going on in FLA?

There's actually four rinks within 25-30 minute drives of me, in different directions. I recently got word that the 2nd gym I joined is also closing, and going to the gym bores the absolute fuck out of me. I enjoy an activity like skating, laser tag, paintball, etc. for exercise, and I certainly need it. So trying to make it a regular thing
 
What was that Mike Sexton quote again...... “May all of your cards be live and may all of your opponents be non-Cuban”

Two overly aggressive Asian females on my left. One straddles to $20 every pot, the other usually pops it to $125 after callers

Both sitting on 800'ish each
 
Well, looks like the world continues to grow madder by the day. Had been facebook friends (and friendly in person) with the tournament director at the Tampa Hard Rock, we talked tech, etc.

But he just unfriended and blocked me on Facebook over my comments (which weren't even attacks in the post, I pointed out a lot of great things I commended him for, and my disappointment at some changes in the latest event I played).

One of the dealers there (Michael Laake) started chiming in and many of us were responding to him. He used to be a sponsored pro for Hollywood Hard Rock (has almost $1 million in cashes) but is now a dealer in Tampa and has two small tourney cashes in the past 2-3 years)

They took their standard tourney format which used to give you 30K chips and start at 100/100 and bumped it down to 20K chips and yanked out the first two levels, starting you off at 100/200 with a 200 BB ante instead

Villain was lighting money on fire there. Unless he had the King of Diamonds, that river counterfeited a lot of his range, and if he did have it, he'd have bet more. Really perplexing play by villain to downbet that river out of position.

Isolated the fish who bet $130 with a straight on the flush board in previous hand

Pot raised to 30 pre and multiway

He bets $155 pot, I repot to over $700 which is more than he has. We go twice, je pairs first board, I river useless flush. He catches running diamonds on 2nd board to scoop
