Tuesday RxR TR:
Haven't done a TR in a long time so be kind.
Anywho, after weather gives me a big FU for setting up an afterwork tee-time, I have dinner and decide I still need some competition so I head down to MCC after confirming there was a good turnout.
Minor backstory. I used to play 2/5 full-time but now average 3-5 sessions/month so usually play 1/2 with the occasional 2/5. PLO I have some experience with, and have been biting at the chops to play, but hadn't as of yet because 1/2 isn't offered, only 2/5.
Anyways. I sit at 1/2 and grind for a few hours. A few drinks later I'm bored and decide to put my name on the 2/5 RxR and NLHE lists. I'm running up about 150 after a few beats and wins as I'm #2 on both lists.
Finally 2 hours later I get called for RxR. Quick top up to 500 and I'm in. It's NL when I sit and get 89 UTG, flop 2 pair, valuetown to the river where V makes a straight. Great, immediately down a couple hundred.
Next round Drawmaha. I take down a nice pot with 6699 after it potting pre and 4 people are in. My set held somehow by the grace of god (+200).
Quiet until the next round of PLO. I get 88TT and pot it, 1 raise to 50, 1 call, I call. Flop comes 3J6 diamonds. I've got two, but 0 faith my flush is good. Checks to the turn, another diamond. Then 2 AI and I fold (-50).
Skip ahead to NL, I get 88 in the BB and call a 15 raise from MP with 2 others. Flop comes K8K, board runs our 62. I check call down and scoop 200. Kind of weak play in hindsight, but whatever.
Later comes the first major pot during PLO. Hero gets KsQsT8 UTG+1. Limp/call 35, 5 way to the flop: 792 ss. C/c 100. 4 way to the turn: Q. SB pots, I call all-in, 1 other calls. River 6, SHIPPPPIT (1000).
A little while later hero wakes up with AsAQs3 UTG and pots it. 1 call, old guy repots. I think for a second, repot. The caller repots all-in, old guy folds I call. Board runs AK3JA, Shippity ship (700).
Hand of the night old guy gave the same guy two speeches in the same hand. "A penny saved is a penny earned" as V is contemplating a call, and still calls. Then goes all in and as V is contemplating says something like, "That's a lot of pennies". I died.
Overall had lots of fun, very lively game and will probably play it regularly.
