Today I was with my brother and it was his first time playing cards in a casino. It was meant to be a fun day just letting him get some experience while I tried to actually work. It turned out to be good for everyone. We were both up about $100 for a long while. He flopped top set of Q's and rivered a boat. He won a massive pot there. I won a few pots with some marginal hands and one good hand with a set of 9's. Then we both went card dead. I think I was more dead than he was. I folded for an hour straight.
So Tom was up $47 to end the day. He got up and while he was getting his chips exchanged and what not, I played one more orbit. On my second to last hand I find the two red 9's. I call a raise from the talkative guy who is semi-insane/maniacal. The flops comes 3c 5c 9s. Sickening. He bets out $20 and I decide not to just sit on my set. I bump it up to $60. I did this for a couple reasons. First, he was aware that I was about to get up. I could have been messing around with my last hand, just trying to win a pot. Second, he was a maniac who played all kinds of things. Third, there was a draw on board that I wanted to crush. So, I make the raise and he shoves the rest of his stack. It's about $140 total.? He had a pair and a flush draw. I rivered a red 3 to fill up. A good end to the day.
