CNE Trip Report (Brief)

This sounds like the Holy Grail of 10/20 games...

I'm going to check it out now for the first time this year. Why not. It's close. If it sucks (ie: if the fact that I'm playing 10/20 starts to drive me right up the wall) I'll just drive to Port Perry.

Maybe I'll see some of you there this afternoon, or tonight if I'm still there. I'm the guy with the shaved head, exactly half of which is sunburned.

Played the 5-10 game on Saturday night, went in with $260 played for about 4 hours and left $100 down.

Played on 1 table and was up just a bit over $100. Bunch of fish, around 5 to a flop on average. Then when they lost their money, new players joined the table, the play tightened up, but not enough to win with rags. Knowing there had to be a better table I switched tables. Hit rags for an hour and half on a table that was mostly tight, with a few extremely loose players. Tried bluffing at the tight players when I had my chance, luckily they showed me their cards so I feel I played alright. Never got in with a decent hand with the loose players and was blinded out of my winnings.

Will definatley make the trip again tomorrow, hopefully with better results.

Saw my co-worker there, who left $200 up after around 5 hours of play. He said his table was capped preflop with 5 players quite a few times. Hopefully I'll sit at that table next time.

Based on my limited experience there I would say that 12am-6am is the best time to play 10 20...I'll be there at that time tonight, anyone else?

well, tonight was the holy grail of 10/20 games for me.

10 way capped preflop action.
5 way showdowns after a 3 bet on the river.
bluffs calling down bluffs

In addition to which high pockets held up tonight.
my draws hit more often than usual.
the king of maniacs sat to my right - he was drunk and up $1000 from multi spot BJ.

*sigh*

It ended too soon.

My highlight of the night is SB with

. Button (maniac) raises and I call $15. Big bling goes 3 bets - capped and I call. 9 way.

Flop -

- I checked, BB bets, capped somewhere in the middle - 6 callers.

Turn - magical

- I bet - 3 callers to the maniac who raises - at which point dude at the other end of the table (who called my bet) starts yelling at him - "what the F are you doing? What kind of play is that" (etc). Maniac goes nuts (more than usual) and security comes over to chill him out. Anyhow, I go 3 bets and I get 2 callers. Maniac included.

River - Brick. I bet, Maniac calls and I win $880 ($860 after tip, rake and coffee) with the lil straight. Maniac gets up in a huff and swears his way out the door. He had trip 9's.

The whole night was like that. My wait was only about 90 mins and I got there at 9 ish.

I wound up with $2K more in my pocket than when I started this evening (but today is going to be a write off though).

Hope to see some more forumites this evening.

Hey York,

I got there at 1230am but the wait was insane so I went and played elsewhere...congrats on getting a seat in the softest 10 20 game ever...I'll be there Friday, let me know if you'll be there then.
