There was a +2k pot won by T high last night.

V1 had T9
V2 had 65

Flop was 872

V1 pushed the action betting 400 on the flop and 600 on the turn and they both bricked out.

Thanks for taking my subtle hint!

V1 gave up and so did V2, or did the money go in before river?

I think it all went in on the turn. This was at a different table.

I have seen an $800 pot when the nut low was beaten by the second nut-low.

A good sign that both were simply playing their cards and not the players.

haha, i was actually thinking to myself today that since i come in and post when i'm running hot, i should probably let everyone know when i'm bleeding too.

got beat up pretty bad this weekend; dropped $1,000 in 1/2. the big losses:

150BBs - My top set loses to maniac's flop shove with a gutshot.
150BBs - set over set
150BBs -multiway pot. Flop 2 6 7 checks around. Turn is 8, villain bets 1/2 pot, i call with 55. villain checks A river, i shove as a bluff, he calls with A9. shoving is probably dumb on my part.

oh well. i was absolutely crushing beforehand, so it was only a matter of time until i regressed back to the mean.

my hourly is still a stellar $87/hour over ~140 hours in 2012.

I'll just clarify again that I don't care about brags and do feel free to post them =).

All 1/2??? GTFO

I post when I lose too. But since January I am running a sick $90/hour over 345 hours. Long term w/r is $50 over 2000 hours @2-3-5.

$12k in 140 hours at 1/2 is a solid brag. Why aren't you moving up?

haha no i wish. i shouldve clarified. i have like 20 hours of 5/10 in there and my main 1/2 game plays very big.

That is so sick...

Wait, I read $140...what happened?

i have a real job that crushes my soul (i work like 10am-10pm 5-6 days/week), so i mainly play at this local club game.

on weekends i platy 5/10 @ borgata.

You're up $55K in 345 hours? GTFO lol.

No I fixed the numbers so it is accurate.

Ah ok lol.

This month I'm running -$28/hr over 114 hours lol. And I'm coming off 4 (small) winning sessions in a row.

So it was real bad at one point.

I've gone through a couple of several months break even stretches when I was getting drawn out on all the time and coolered. Sets, straights, flushes and sometimes full houses were no good. I tightened up pre-flop and that seemed to help a lot.

I use Stat King (and Excel) on my PC to track my sessions. Stat King is pretty good for the price. It has graphs and a lot of statistics like best/worst day/month ect...It does standard deviation and all that math ****.

Don't you have an iPhone or something?

Cruise was excellent. Didn't play any poker (other than at the demonstration of the automated tables). The main thing was that I was on vacation and having a ton of fun, and sitting down for a couple hours to play some poker seemed like work.

This is something I've wondered about. What do you think about showing your laydowns vs unsophisticated players?

I used to be in the "no info, never show" camp, but a good reg I frequently play with does it a lot and I've asked him why, and his answer makes sense to me.

If you show a big laydown, an unsophisticated player will almost always show his hand if he bluffed you out with a worse hand, "look I outplayed you!" If he doesn't show he most likely had you beat. So your show is really fishing for info. Sure you're giving away info, but to an unsophisticated player who doesn't really know how to use that info against you. On the other hand, if he shows, he gives you info which CAN be used against him.

Thoughts?

Actually I have a dumb-phone. Even though I've working in high tech for 30 years, I am way behind in the Consumer Electronics stuff. I did buy my kid an iPod Touch for his birthday on Saturday and I got that working for him.

This year at 1/3 and 1/2 (8.5 hours at 1/2) I have a whopping 70 hours. Wow. I knew I had not been playing much, but wow.

The good news is that after starting off the year at -$50/hour, I am clicking along at $33/hour. Went on a bit of a heater the last 3 sessions to take me from under $10/hr to $33.
(The 1/3 games both use a $6 or $10 rock, and allows straddles up to $30.)

Should be able to start putting in some volume starting tonight, and I will start hitting Tunica regular over the summer.

Were those the PokerPro tables? Where you everyone has their own mini-screen and you can stealthily check your hole cards and then tap the screen to do the betting amounts...?

We used to have those in Montreal..
