Limit and pot limit are different beasts right?

They sure are!

Was winning at mix and plo but then fish got lucky on me in a 4! pot against my AA with crappy QQ at 5/5 plo and ran it once with me when he ran it twice earlier with a much weaker hand in a similarly big pot. Very steamed, lost middle to top pair at 5/T in 3! pot at spr 1 and currently down a few hundo.

Wrapped up at 2/5 winning a little with a set and talking up some hold 'em players about PLO and my book/coaching a bit, got food and sleep, a little less than usual but enough to get through the day (around 9 hours). Feeling a little low on energy, gonna continue to caffeinate and light exercise and head to the casino (where the plumbing didn't work last night..bleh...sometimes for such an expensive place it can be quite the dump).

Talked about the QTs btn. v. SB short-handed spot with a friend, could find a tight fold pre against the 3! and not see a flop so short. Perhaps a moment of weakness coming off a bad beat at plo and a fish who ran it once against me after running it twice earlier with someone else with a much weaker hand.

Very annoyed lately seeing people who have been really unkind to me winning a lot from others, picking the high card when the table breaks, etc. Seems like there's no justice in poker right now. I guess if there's any consolation it's that I beat them all.

Very nice hand against colluder last night at 5/5...open and call, I 3! $300 from straddle, three ways KTTcc. x/x/x. Turn 3c. x/x/colluder jams small we both call, they have flush and I have AAKK7 with naked Ac. colluder snap quits pissed off for doubling me up.

Fun player just called colluder wife a “voodoo bitch.” Made my night..we could Not stop laughing.

For all the complaints you’ve made about players harassing you, making inappropriate comments about your sexual orientation I’m surprised you’d revel in a woman being harassed and called a sexist term at the table. I thought you were better than that Dumbo.

nice troll job

What part of this is trolling? The way some men treat women at the table is downright disgusting and Dumbo is cheering it on. My ex was a dealer and she got called the b and c word constantly. I almost punched someone out.

FWIW it wasn't in her presence it was behind her back...haha. But yeah nice troll job, pattycakes. This couple had been so verbally abusive towards me after I called out their collusion months ago I couldn't care less what anyone says about them. The husband still stares me down from across the room. Total creep.

Made around $900 last night, trapped AAJ65 on 478xxy in 3! pot and got it all in three ways and held on a board pairing flushing runout somehow. Lost AKJT6ds nfd top pair nut gutter to KQQ43 worse fd gutter overpair. Broke about even in a good 5/5 plo game too, AA662ds brought me out of the hole at the end of the night with a limp raise. (Tried it earlier with dsAA but action players did not raise behind me...so sad.)

Lattes and music now, a little family and doggo time then hitting the felt later.

Won a few hundo at plo chipping up here and there, and lost $900 at 50/100 mix (originally 30/60), A42-9 dugi got outdrawn on the river in badugi, 752 made a T but lost to a 9 in 2-7 TD, at least won with AKQ32ds in big o capped pre. Now some rest. Tomorrow is a new day.

Solid 9 hours of sleep, gonna try to get a hair cut and trim the beard to look a little more presentable, lattes and Sarah Bareilles and doggo time now. The games were pretty tragic last night, people lost too much over the weekend probably (and earlier in the year).

Someone said x/f the 9 dugi on the river against two Vs drawing 1...guess that was a mistake. Anyone with more dugi experience care to chime in?

Very slow session so far, won AAJ97 97dd sttaight flush in 3! pot but lost KK top set ott to two drawing hands. Also lost an AKKds pre to two inferior hands. About even now after losing with 235r in badeucy to 742. Poker room is slowing down lately, a bit scary if this continues….

Stop playing the big mix! You keep saying you're going to do that, but you keep going back to it. This is frankly concerning behavior, and I think you know that, though you keep downplaying it.

So it's fun. So what? Are you a rec player or a pro?

Better get that money coaching and selling books before the games completely dry up!

Prick

Not big mix...! Mainly 20/40 which I am beating so far for around .5 big bets an hour. The other night they kicked it up a little after I sat down for 30/60 but I didn't play long after that. I am staying a good boy, promise!

Got really good sleep, woke up a little later than usual, ended down a few hundo last night running AKK into action's AA pre but winning some back with JT998 on K839 my fd, got a $300 c/r in and a clean Ad river. Had a dream was on a high speed car on a bridge with no barriers with my elite pro friend who was driving, we careened off the bridge and plummeted into the woods far below where we fell asleep as we had to be up early the next day for check out from our forest hotel...weird one. (We have both recently gone on a rough streak in poker and I followed him to the mixed games when he started playing, the symbolism should be obvious.)

Warren Buffet said he'd rather stick with a strategy he understands than a new one he doesn't understand that might be more profitable but could result in big losses...rings true w/r/t plo and mixed games for me.

Hair cut on point, gonna exercise caffeinate and head to the poker room again. Hopefully the games are decent.

Booked a $2,500 win between plo5 and 5/10/25 (briefly, until the fun player shipped top pair in a 3! pot for piles and ran into a set). Ran well and played well at plo. Could tell I was channeling some winning aggressive energy. Pulled off a straight flush blocker bluff successfully. Sometimes when you’re running bad it can make you gunshy to go for it because you fear losing more. I took all my good bluffing spots this session. Checked the second nut straight twice and got a bet out of a tag player with a worse hand, happy with that play too. (Ty crimsonchin for the idea.)

Now grinding a little 1/3 until I run out of energy. Nice to have a decent W for a change…! Really needed this.

Woke up at a reasonable hour, now lattes and music and news and checking investments. When the market performs well any given session it give me a little pep in my day (and I don't check when it performs poorly).

Feeling in a good mood between the win and the market performance today, sun is shining too. A little exercise then another day at "work."

Where are you at with the 100K challenge?

You were on a downswing and now smoothed that - are you still trying to get to 100K by the end of the year?

I lost track of the challenge amidst the runbad and stopped counting. Figured better for my morale. I will have to go back and do some accounting to get back on track again. No firm end of year goal (that would be amazing, at this point).

$71,022 to be exact, pretty much where I left off a few weeks ago.

Made $1,200 in the first half of my session, AA422ss 4! a light 3!ing maniac pre, gii 842r and held. Lost T9876ds three ways versus AAA and KK though (I had 43% three ways). Taking a break now.

Ended up $1898, won a little at 5/5/25/50
Mainly because I won a waterfall. Then broke even at 1/2 after getting stuck, now some rest…

$69,124 to go on the challenge. Good sleep, lattes and music, sold another PLO5 book too. Won an AA top set, lost QQJ98ds pre to some maniac, ran into AA, flopped top set too. Flatted top and bottom two bdfd turned nfd to axn player's bet (could fold flop) on K54, lost to a set as well but made a comeback elsewhere. Nice to be booking wins!

Extremely slow session today, played 10/10/50 for a couple hours and lost some doing $200 waterfalls every down, felt comfortable in game, got a double with AKK32ds in 50/100 double straddle to AQ-high all in pre AAQ flop, but saving K turn. Game got worse so I left for 1/2 again where basically nothing interesting happened. Taking a food and rest break now before heading back to wrap up the session.

Hope everyone in the path of the two recent hurricanes is ok...!
