If you want to have fun, there's lots of -EV situations at a casino, whether at the poker table or not to gamble at. If you want to win money, you need to avoid -EV situation.

Just depends on what you want to do. But don't make a bitch thread about how you can't win against the feebs at you local casino. Personally, I like to make money and sometimes that means waiting.

44 is the nutz
a pear is suppost to be a good hand

3 barrel live? Yea I very very rarely do that

made a spite call of 400 for a really stupid reason because a guy had raised me 6 times in a row.

dumb me.

I did 2.5 miles in the pool today. Pretty sure that was my longest swim yet, but now I'm going to feel like a slacker if I don't do a 3 mile swim by the end of the season.

just keep swimming

2.5 miles swimming is a lot.

Set mining is fine.................

I have seen tables where 30/20 can be profitable but its rare. 10 handed games its very hard to pull off.

holy **** thats a ton, how many laps is that in your pool?

I feel like someone took a crowbar to my knees because they thought my name was Nancy Kerrigan! I'm dying over here man.

Just got done playing $2-5 for the first time in like 3 years.
(PLO kind of killed 2-5, and $1-3 kind of took off. $2-5 goes still, but not as good and mostly weekend, away from the casino closest to me)

IMO, as a whole, the 2-5 players aren't THAT much better than 1-3, it's just the aggression and WGAS attitude towards money.
I nitted it up, won like $100 only. Endless strings of 9,3 and K,4

But so many pots where people are 3 betting with 3rd pair and a gutters. Floating AK for $150, etc
Flops of Jc, 7c, 5d going bet $35, Raise to $90, Re-raise to $210, guy moves all in for $400 total, call and the hands are J,9o vs Ac,7h.

People racing 55 vs AK PF, etc

That game sounds like a dream

Yeah, it was wild... but I somehow resisted the urge to just completely force it with garbage hands.


Really, like 3 hours and my best hands were 99 and AJ that I can remember. Just J4, Q5, 8,2 after another.

And of course because I was nit-central I missed out on my one chance for a payday.
I had 99 on a Qh,Qx,9h,2h board and only made like $100 somehow. I check raised flop, lead turn and the guy said he folded a Q, which I don't believe. Said he put me on Flush. I think he had nothing...

But still, if that hand happens with a different LAG, straight cash homies.

Why would you CR that flop and lead turn?

How does he b/c flop with nothing?

Tried to get tricky I guess? If the guy really had a Q, I thought he'd call and it wouldn't matter if I CR or lead out.

I started the hand with like $500 only.
I made it $35 PF, call, call.
I check, check, $60
I make it $160.
call.
I lead out turn just $130 into $405, I thought it'd look weak and he'd shove.
I'm not sure he'd raise again allowing me another CR, and then if a 4th heart hits on the river it might kill my action?

In hindsight, he probably didn't have a Q and maybe he fires another bluff on the Turn, and I can just call.
I don't know...

Lol my last 4 sessions have been:

-2.2k
-1.7k
-.7k
-1.3k

I succeeded in getting it in on the flop with KK vs 92dd on 964ss and he ran for a straight and I also had this hand come up:

Hero has 1.7k in the CO
Villain 1 has 400 in the SB
Villain 2 has 3k UTG

Button straddles
V1 calls
V2 calls
folds to hero who raises to 65 with 99
Button folds, v1 calls, v2 raises to 140
I call, V1 calls

Pot is 420
Flop is K98

Checks to hero who bets 275
V1 folds
V2 chr to 600
Hero ships
Villain then asks me how much I have and takes a minute and calls with KK, wtf

I also missed value where I check called a FD on the flop in a MW pot, ch/called a "end of action" bet where I was right after him (checked up front mw, and the button bet) and when it was HU on the river I think it is a clear bet but w/e I checked thinking he was betting really wide but it was a dumb move and cost me like 200.

Anyway I am probably going to play 1/3 for the next 100 hours or so since this run has not been kind to the psyche or the bankroll

1k max 2/5?

I don't know, he was floating a lot of flops with his A,10 A,J etc.
He was one of those, "F It, it's only money" guys flaunting the fact that he's got pockets full of chips.

I should've doubled through him, but oh well, it was one hand, NBD.

He was bluffing a lot and showing, and also calling re-raises with AJ/AQ and then checking the turn and either folding of thinking forever about shoving with Ax and showing the table Ax like, "I know it's good... I just can't pull trigger"

11t, just clock small wins and leave. They build confidence and go a long way.

200

I wish I'd take that advice as well sometimes. Those nights where you're debating leaving up $200-$300 and you stay for that one had too many and get felted.
But you get up like $150-$200 really early, maybe even first orbit, and you don't want to leave yet

You should if you are on a bad streak. You wouldn't believe how much a tiny streak of small wins will improve your confidence.

Lol, lol, typical nit raises and calls, manufacturing wins is no bueno it's all one long session.

It's not a bad thing to keep getting garbage hands. At least you won't go broke before you get solid reads. The worst is getting hand after hand in your first hour with no reads. Please never raise a flop like that's again. It's rare your villain has AQ, which is the only hand villain will stack off with. I believe he had a queen, but he was scared of AQ, stop over repping your hand.
