Went to Shreveport, LA for the holidays. Also took a little tour of East TX. I manged to get a speeding ticket in tiny city of Rusk, TX. I was clocked going 52 in a 35 zone. The highway changed from 70 to 35 within the city limits and I was in the process of slowing down when the cop pegged me. Hopefully, I can explain to the judge and get a warning. I didnt even pass the 35mph sign when he pegged me.
Anyways, there are plenty of Casinos in Shreveport but none in Texas. The only Casinos that host a real poker room are Eldorado Resort and Harrah's Horseshoe in Bossier City, just across the river.
During this trip I only played at Eldorado's. My last trip to Shreveport was in August and played at Horseshoe. I lost $90 back then. I heard the game was better at Eldorado's so I focused my efforts there. The trip was a success and I made $575 total.
My first night I managed to play like a donkie early and lose $200. I rebuy for another $200 and get my stack back down to $60. I triple the $60 to $180 with pocket kings and 2 callers pre-flop. I win a few more small hands to build my stack to back to around $220. Then I hit pocket Aces under the gun. I raise to $20 and get 2 callers. A guy in late position re-raise me to $100 and I push all-in for my $220. Everyone else folds and he calls with pocket Kings! I win the race and doubled up to over $475! Im back "in the Black" and in the profit zone just like that...
My 2nd night was Christmas night and it was off to the races from the start! I cracked a set of kings with J♥9♥. Then cracked pocket Aces with J♦9♦ suited again to the same guy. The guy kept slow playing this big pairs and I kept cracking them my rags. He told me that I should never fold J9. He had Aces again later on in the evening and I cracked them with 5♦7♦ suited. I chased a flush and hit, on the river. It was just one of those nights where the rags were hitting.
My last big hand was pocket Queens. I made a big re-raise pre-flop and got two callers. The flop was J♦10♥3♠. I bet $75 on the flop and get one old guy calling me. The turn is an 8♦ and I bet $100. He smooth calls me. The river is a 9♦ and I push all-in for my remaining $100 with my straight. He calls and shows 2-pair 8♠10♠! Damm that was lucky for me...
