Friday night after work I made the trek down to Northwood, Iowa for some poker action. When I arrived the usual crew was there along with this older Asian woman wearing tons of jewelry who I heard was on the 2/5 list. I added my name and about 30 min. later was in the game. Unfortunately the toughest guy in the game and my poker nemesis was seated to my left.

The max buy-in is $1000 but 75% of the table usually buys in for $400 - 600. I ended up buying in for $600 as I had made a few bucks at the 1/2 game while I was waiting. The game went strong until the wee hours of the morning and was mostly funded by the Asian lady who bought in TWELVE times for $500 each time. Her stack would rise and fall very quickly. At one point she had $2500 and then she was rebuying minutes later. This went on pretty much all night. I wasn't able to get into any real big hands with her, but managed to chip away at her and some other people. (Side note: At this point in the game, UTG had a mandatory straddle of $10 and people were opening to $50 - 70).

At 5 AM I had a stack of about $1800 but lost $1200 when I flopped a set of 8's against a guy with a set of 9's on an 8c9c3h board.

By 8:30 AM the game broke and I netted a $5 win. BALLER!

The big winner of the night was the 9 seat who basically got in some killer situations with the older Asian lady. He ended up cashing out $7200 which is insane considering it was the same 9 people playing and one lady was basically funding the entire game. When I left I stopped by one of the bathrooms and on my way out she was buying a 20 stack of black chips at the Super Fun 21 table.
