I played poker with some friends last night. I have NEVER done so well especially with 2 really experienced poker players at the table. One of them plays live money often, online and at casinos. Plays EXTREMELY well, he’s won tournaments before, his winnings are probably over 20k. Again, he plays just for fun but is really good at it.
Anyhow, before I went in, this is what I wore:
1.5x A314 to back of neck, .5 under my nose, above lip (starting to get use to the smell, had to cover it up a little with Shine)
1x AMMO to forearm
1x Come Talk To Me Mix 2 to hair
3x Shine: hair, forearm, neck
And as usual, I’m aggressive as hell, and play the first hand and win it. Then, I decide to play more conservative, (laying down cards like A8 offsuit in mid/early position) basically playing premium hands. Normally I play extremely aggressive, bet big, and get myself in a lot of trouble. But the biggest thing of that night was the A314. The self effects were amazing. Normally my 20k+ friend reads me like a book, but this time maybe it was the confidence from the A314, but I read him decently and he couldn’t get a read off me.
Anyways, as the night went on, I won pretty much any hand I played. I busted my friend’s Aces, with pocket 10s and he took it really well. I raised preflop, he reraised, I called another person called and I flopped a set. The pot was already huge and I wanted to take it down right there, cause I knew I had the best hand and didn’t want to take anymore money so I put them all in, one folded, pocket As called (how could he not? top pair with rainbow flop, no possible straight) and I won it. I didn’t want him calling but oh well. Flop was like 2, 5, 10, Q, Q. Put him all in after flop. I got a LOT of respect especially when my table image matched my phero sig. Usually I get a lot of calls and chase to the river but last night, when I was being congruent with a conservative, aggressive table image I got a LOT of respect, but a lot of people would be extremely cautious when I raised or if I was still in the hand. Any reraise by me put people in “uh oh, lets think about this” mode.
Other effects: Table was EXTREMELY chatty. I was generally the center of attention until I placed it on others or chatted with someone else one on one. I didn’t notice any hits from any of the girls that were there. The only alpha male (good poker guy) gave me a lot of respect after I started taking his money.
There was one other guy who is usually alpha ish but was very quiet. Didn’t notice any hits from the girls that were there.
As to the make up of the group, literally everyone there was korean except for me and one other person. About… 15-18 of us there?
