One Night at the Mansion!

[The Professor]

Just thought I share a good fortune poker story with you all, which makes a change from the normal bad beat stories.

I logged onto Mansion poker last night and found my bankroll to be pretty low at just $45. I was just about to re-deposit into my account to get my bankroll up to decent size so I could play on decent stakes and I decided that I would have a bit of fun with the $45 in my account, so I headed over to Mansion Casino

Anyway I started playing through a few of the little casino games that I hadn't really played before like calling higher or lower on the cards but I wasn't really making much money from these so I headed over to the trusty Blackjack table.

Anyhow within the space of about 25 minutes I had grown my $45 bankroll into $250.

With that I quit out of the casino and headed back to poker where I now has a decent bankroll to hit the cash tables with.

I plumped for the $2/$4 NL tables in the end, even though $250 isn't really enough to sit down here, but I was playing on free money so

(*note* this is not my total bankroll risked at one table which I would never ever do! - this is just the bankroll I had sitting in my Mansion account - I hold all my poker bankroll in a central account and it's a good sized bankroll, so this $250 didn't really mean much of a risk to my bankroll)

The next two hours was one of the biggest card rushes I've had in a long while, I was being dealt Aces, Kings, Queens, Ace-King etc, and was even hitting the flop with more marginal hands.

Despite getting the cards which always helps, I felt I was actually playing pretty good poker. I made a number of hard calls / laydowns which turned out to be the correct decisions, and during the two hours I only really played one pot badly and that cost me a $300 pot!

Despite being dealt Ace-King about 6 times in the space of two hours, I didn't actually win one pot with them! Luckily I don't overplay Ace-King as a rule and didn't actually lose too much money on these pots.

But the other hands were holding up and hitting and in the space of two hours I had annihilated the table and was sitting on a stack of $1,750.

So in the space of about two and a half hours I had transformed the leftover $45 in my account into $1,750.

I'll see if I can do the same on the $4/$8 tables tomorrow.

This was a little while ago now - but the tables at Mansion were pretty easy going and I built that $2k up to about a $6k on the $4/$8 tables there.

I haven't actually played cash tables at mansion in about a month, as I've been busy and whatever playing time I've had then I've been playing live. But Mansion is certainly one of my favourites for cash tables as the tables seem fairly easy to beat.

ow yeah, now I noticed, 27-4.

Still nice game :) a lot of money to make by playing a game

Too bad I have to stick with partypoker, I can't depopsit money by creditcard. I can only do so by IDeal,and partypoker 's the only one who allows that.

But so.. the $4-$8 is easy to beat for you ?? how long have you been playing poker seriously in order to get that far ?

It's not always easy - far from it.

Trying to think back now - I've probably been playing Poker for approximately 6 years or so I would say.
