Also ran terribly in the 25/50 a couple sessions.
Was going to do other stats but my calculator is acting up. Will have to wait. Not too disappointed with my 5/5+ results, all things considered.
This post didn't age well less than a day later. My winrate this year at 5/5 changed a lot tonight. Today started with my mom trying to convince me to visit Greece again and buying a place out there. "Will I even be alive in 5 years?" she asked. I gave her a hug. Life's tough.
Thinking about that on the drive to the casino, but I got a decent workout in and a good meal, so I am feeling pretty well-oiled. After some big o action messing around with a firecracker (I almost got him but he won a 40/60 where I was the favorite just before the game broke), played 2/5plo for half an hour before I was called for 5/5. Game looked good to me, even thought this other tight reg did not feel like sitting tonight because he didn't like the line up. Not many 5/5 plo5 line-ups look bad to me, and this certainly wasn't one of them.
Bleed down some and finally get a nice-looking JT987ddss, ep open, co 3!, I ship $1k, call for less, deeper-stacked pro re-pots, original 3! tank folds AA with Ad, 4!ttor says he got it in bad (AA? worse rundown?), I flop wrap and flush draw on KT7dd, turn J, river diamond and I scoop. Guy who folded AA(223) would have rivered the nut flush!
Next I open AAK73ds in EP, aggro pro 3! btn to $125, short stack calls, I min-click hoping shorty jams, but alas everyone calls, $1k in pot. I check T56ssc (my suits), bad reg pots with $1k behind in CO, pro calls otb, I re-ship for a $2.8k side pot, "$1,470 on the side, my SAT score," I quip ("that's it?" asks a jovial rec), and pro calls, pro asks for a "queen," and lo and behold a Q binks the turn (he must have QQQ), and river...a Jh! I turn over AK for the nuts and scoop a nice fat pot.
Not much happens for a while until I get . . . AA! This time there is a blind $85 utg, I 3! $300 with AAJ44ss, two cold callers and blind raiser just ships for his (just re-bought) $1k, I make it $3.6k, one tank fold and tilted imbibing pro calls for $2.5k. Flop: AAQ! I flop quads! And just after the flop is dealt the pro knowingly says "he has quads." I turn it over and no royal is possible and I scoop again! I rack up about 45 minutes later, count my chips off to the side, some rando steps on my shoe and says in passing, "I didn't even see you, you're like a curtain," and I simply ignore him because I just finished counting over $13k in pumpkins, blacks, greens, and reds, for one of my biggest session wins ever. Texted mom the good news and she said dad wanted to hear about how I won tomorrow. It was around this time of year last year he had his heart attack. Cherish your family.
Just because, here's some chippies:
