Still being pretty jetlagged so Falk woke up at 3.00 AM and went down to grind some 5/5 PLO. When I woke up at 7:00 AM, he was up 3k$. I went over to Jardin with Falk and another friend for breakfast. Damn this hotel(and city) is beyond.
A breakfast containing three juices, two coffees, two omelets, one avocado toast, and three small bowls of berries = 160$.
Went back to the poker room and I sat down at 2/5 with 1k. Started off with calling of and bluffing away 400 $ and was just about to refill to 1k again when I looked down at Q
Q
. I raise and get 1 caller, and we head for a flop.
K
J
4
and I go for a check call. Turn is a magical Q
and I check yet again and villain fires another bullet. With a lot of draws out there, I decide for a check-raise, and he calls quite fast. River pairs the board and I jam my remaining stack and get snap-called, and he tables jacks. Pretty lucky there.
From there on I go on a sweet rush winning a lot of pots and bluffs works out.
A new player opens to 25$ on CO, and I flat pockets 9's in SB. Usually, I'd prefer to 3b here but with the player being new at the table, so I went with a more passive line.
Flop came 4
8
9
. I check and villain bets out 35$. I re-pop it for 125$. He calls quite fast and turn bring us a T
. I bet out 175$, and within seconds villain announces all in with his remaining 875$. I don't feel quite comfortable here but can't fold either, so I threw in a chip for a call and river brings J
. In my mind, I've just lost the pot, but luckily he tables 44, and I scoop a nice pot yet again.
Flash forward an hour, and I accidentally limped 5
3
in CO and called a raise to 35$ preflop from the BB with two callers. So we head to a flop 4way, and we get 7
5
3
. PFR bets out 95$ and I call and one other person calls aswell and one folds. The turn brings a 9
giving me a flush. Again the PFR bets out 250$ and I call and the last person tanks for a while before letting it go. River lands a blank card, can't even remember let's say 2
. PFR tanks for a while before checking. He has roughly 1200$ behind him and I start to think whether to bet small or overbet jam. I decide to jam, and he goes into the tank for a long time. Eventually, a lady decides to time him, and when its seconds left, he decides to let it go.
The hand after I decide to open K8
in CO+1 to 20$ and the same villain flats in SB. We are heads up to a flop that brings us K
8
5
. He checks an I bet 30$. He re-pops it to an even 100$, and I call. The turn brings a Q
and he puts out a bet of 200$. Again I call, and river lands a blank card, let's say 2
. He overbets jams for his remaining 875$. Sigh. I start to dissect the hand, and I'm not that worried about KQ or KK. I block 8s so the only logical hand he could have is pocket fives. Start to thinking whether or not he is tilted about the previous hand. I tank for a while before tossing in a call. He tables pocket fives.
Played for 30 minutes after that hand and lost another 5-600$ before leaving. Still booked a profit but only 175$ or something. At least breakfast was paid.
Spent 15 minutes by the pool. Falk wanted to stay longer so I met up another friend for some drinks + low-stakes pit games. Started of with some BJ and Roulette and bought it for a total of 100$.
Won at both games and went over for some Ultimate and booked another win. Another friend joined us and we went to the craps table. At this point, I'm up 350$ or something. I roll the dices and right when I've thrown the decides and "entered the game," or what you say, an old man walks up to our table and bets a couple of grand on a lot of stuff. He looks over at me and says, "go on son," and I pick up the dices and throw a magical seven, killing everyone. The older man yells at me (obviously joking though) and it's his turn to throw the dices now. We buy in another time, and this older man goes on a rush. I have 25$ on pass line and 25$ on every number 4-10. When he eventually busts I've won 600$ or something.
We grabbed some dinner at Allegro, and I lost the dinner flip. Walked back over to the craps tables again with a short stop to the bathroom. While they were in the bathrooms I decided to win back the dinner playing blackjack. I was easily done.
Over at the craps table, we busted twice really fast. We walked to another table, and it was my friend turn to roll the dice. I figured it should be quite impossible to bust quick again, so I put 50$ on pass line and 50$ on all numbers. Now my friend goes on a sick rush. The money keeps racking up and when he hits the correct number and the game re-starts I put out 200$ on pass line. I think he rolls an 8 and that's 5x pass line. So I put 1k$ behind and the first throw my friends rolls another 8 giving me a nice payday. This continues for a while, and I'd guess my friend rolled a total of 30-35 throws. Eventually, we bust and walk away from the table, and I look down at five yellow chips. We head back to Encore to see how it goes for our friends in the 1k$. Talked with them for a while and then sat down at Ultimate yet again with 1k$. We ran pretty cold, and I spewed of the last hundreds on Roulette before calling it for the night, booking a solid profit of 3900$ on pit games.
Just woke up now and going down to grind some cash games right now. Falk had already left the room when I woke up (he was sleeping when I got back to the room) I'd guess he is down grinding PLO.
