First night back and I was tired from getting less than my usual amount of sleep (10 hours) and the drive, but decided to see my free poker friends at a bar game. Brought my friend Elena flowers for her birthday, won game one (I still got it!), then she said she wanted to go to MGM. I really wasn't planning on it but I wanted to catch her up on the AC trip, so I headed over there.
At front desk I ran into someone from a home game who is definitely a spot. We said hi and he said he was playing 2/5 today. I think it was a sign.
I put myself on a 2/5 table needless to say.
Flopped my first set in 2/5 . . . dare I say ever? CO raised $20, I called BTN with 55, SB called. Flop: 2-5-7cc. CO continues $35, I raise $85, CO jams my $300 effective, I snap, turn: 7. River: 4. I go ahead and show first for the "fast roll" and he mucks.
Then take down a few medium-sized pots including one where I call a BTN open in SB with AQo, BB comes along, call a cbet on KQxdd. Turn brings the diamond flush, c/c, river is a fourth diamond and I think this is a good spot to rep a diamond since he didn't continue on the turn and my Q might not be good. I bet small and he folds.
Called CO raise with ATdd on BTN, SB calls, flop broadway with flush draw out there, bet/jam turn after SB called flop and 8s ott. He tank folded, said he should have jammed flop.
Then our table broke and I was seated with the aforementioned "spot" from a home game. First hand I saw him play he just called a raise with AA and GII on 5-Q-J-9-x runout when he raised to $150 ott and got jammed on for $400 effective, called, lost to KT. Then he lost another big pot and was pretty much out of chips. My friend Elena had arrived and so it was time to go.
Ended up $500 in 2/5 in a couple hours.
Met Elena at her 1/3 table and nothing happened until I GII for $150 against AQdd with AKo and held. Up $150 in 1/3 in a couple hours.
I've pretty much gotten out of the rut I put myself in at the beginning of the month. Now just gotta run it up!
