I am on vacation and wanted to try live poker and there was casino 15 min from me. I planned playing 1/2 but duo to lack of players for it i ended playing 1/3 with minimum buy in. First of all i was hoping to play with some tourists as the casino is on the beach next to the all discos.
Well, i was the only tourist on the table, i was playing with regs. First i was short stacked vs them, second, they bust all in , go for new chips like its nothing and i was not there for that.
All evening i couldnt get decent cards, one time AQ, AT, and the rest trash for two hours. Last hand AQs vs pocket 88. i was ~15 bb left, i am BB he raises 5x i call, flop 222, he bet 6,5bb i call, turn gives me heartz, he goes for 8bb and i am left all in. River Comes hearts and i make flush but he showed 88.
If i was deeper stacked i wouldn't call after turn but the blinds were eating me up, i know it wasn't ideal play and i dont regret it as i tought better to bust it on AQ than 94.
I was just confused, is it normal to not show cards on all in, they show them after river?
I dont regret the money but it's demoralising a bit, i was hoping not to go empty handed. In general i played tight, was nervous a little bit in the beginning but my game was solid in overal.
Ps next time i will look for no smoke in policy, it was really overwhelming with all the smoke.
