Beginning of session no good, lost dsAA all in pre to t-high and KQJT to same player’s AA…no justice. Sorta frustrated to be stuck in a lame small game right now, the dude who won all my chips tipped the brush $30 if he beat me which he did and then hit and run. Hoping a seat at a bigger game opens up before long….

My local casino runs a similar game to the 1/2/5 one you have at MGM there. What bankroll do you recommend I have to start playing semi pro or weekend warrior type? Maybe just bring 3-4 bullets every visit?

If you're already pretty good and your games are soft, you probably don't need more than $20,000-$30,000 if you're only playing occasionally. If you're less experienced I would recommend somewhat more than that.

Last night was a little frustrating, ran meh at the smaller game then a seat opened up at 25/25/50, won AKJT6ds 3! pot, then won dsAA in 3! pot too and was chipping up, then slowly bled down until I was about to quit for the night booking a decent W on the first night of June when I was dealt a big AAKJ5ds and 3!, the action player cold 4! to $1,700 and I 5! shipped $4,700 and we got it in heads up against his AAKKKds and ran it twice. Unfortunately on the second river he made the nut flush (he flopped one bdfd, I flopped two and a pair or 5s) and I got three-quartered. :/ Pretty annoying end to the session, game was still running but it was getting late and I wanted to get to bed at a reasonable hour and take a call with my friend this afternoon to catch up with her after a while.

Played fairly well overall, just didn't get rewarded yesterday. Got a new zip-up sweater for $20 on sale to reward myself for a stellar May, apparently it wasn't lucky yesterday.

Lost with top set at plo, but got into a really good 5/T/25 with opens to $300 since that’s what the action player is calling. Won a good one with KK and otherwise a little card dead.
