haha yeah bit late. Just wrapped up, ended up playing fairly well, losing some monies.

Per usual, one really spewwy play over ~2.5k hands..

What drug is non-addictive and easy to consume and has a euphoria effect lasting about an hour or two ? Something like booze basically...
I've always been curious really and never touched anyhting but a joint in Amsterdam that I could not inhale properly as I don't smoke, and so would not want something to smoke, rather eat or drink.

you guys can pm me a link or so if you don't want the answer to appear on a forum.

tx...

I think MDMA(ecstasy) would be your best bet. It's not that addictive, can be swallowed/snorted, and lasts about 2-4 hours. Best taken when your around a lot of people. I'd recommend a party/rave.

Just started another book. First fiction book I've read in years. Recommended by my dad.

Going out tonight, going to play for a couple hours before(now), may play after if I don't drink much/don't get laid. Let's hope I don't play later

Been having a lot of trouble vs one reg who has a 17% vpip and 6.0Af freq/doesnt fold postflop. Will analyze his game soon and maybe incorporate some of his moves

ugh.. just rage quit my session..

How can you ever fold there?

Haven't used this for a good number of years but it is awesome stuff. Best ground up into a powder put in a rizzla paper and swallowed.

Be careful what you buy. Good stuff comes as crystals.

Yeah it was a horrible spewfold.. hence ragequit

edit: Was thinking about this more, I am terrified of the nuts when a non-reg presses the pot button post-flop. This is obviously a leak. I should only be afraid when a proven passive postflop player presses the pot button.

Also, in this particular hand I thought he would have mostly Ah blocker or nuts and raising didn't seem right and calling didn't seem right because --who bluffs dry-ish sidepots?

answer: random PLO50 donks who buy in <$50.

Yeah, there is nothing close to justification for c/f'ing the turn..

proven passive postflop player pressing pot prematurely itt

plz don't hunt me, I'm weak/incapable of adjusting


Road tripping to Atlantic City tmrw night. Looks like they have a $1/2 and $5/5 PLO game that runs nightly during the tournament series.

Live grind for the next week. Gonna shoot for 40 hours in 6 nights

Also, planning a WPT montreal trip later this month. I'm going to have to take a break from life to reach online volume goals with the pending live grind. Meh, I could use a little extra work-- Bankroll is at an all-time low.

gl with the live grind mate, live 1/2 is printing money

live 5/5 is printing more money!

In Atlantic City.. 9 hour drive was a bit exhausting.

Played 6 hour session, booked a $270 profit. They only had $5/5 running.. so I played it. First time I played live pokers under-rolled! Definitely felt a bit rusty for the first couple hours. Handling chips seemed strangely familiar. I was profiling players by vpip/pfr and post-flops stats as if they had a HUD. Didn't feel comfortable running bluff raises because I wasn't sure how players would react.

Game was below average for the live PLO games I played.. but still softer than any PLO50 game. There are a surprisingly high number of "regs" in the game that think they are one of the best players at the table. I'd say 5 or 6 (me included) of the 9 players at the table thought they were one of the top 3 players at the table. Only 3 "recreational" players and 6 regs of varying delusion.

Some things I saw..

A Reg 1 3b my UTG opens with AKQ* with 70BBs

Reg 2 3b a short-stack nits open with JT97ds.

Reg 3 bet JJ on a AAQ45 2-tone board vs a 90vpip whale.

Reg 2 called an UTG open UTG+1 with JJTTss, 4 players flat behind, UTG cbets on a KJ4ss board, Reg 2 calls with 4 players behind, turn comes a 9 r, UTG checks, reg 2 bets pot, utg calls. River comes Q, UTG checks, Reg 2 bets 3/5 pot.

I lost a fairly large pot with AKJ9dd on a Ac8dTc. 2 limps, I raise, 3 callers to the flop I get c/r'ed all-in by a short stack. He c/r'ed pot and had ~$50 behind. Needed ~35% equity to stack, obviously got it in. Villain had raggy AA**.. not shoving 3/5 to 2/3 of your stack preflop with bad AA** is obviously atrocious.

Ugh.. no PLO yet and its 7:30pm. May have to grind some 1/2 NLH this trip. Can't grind online and there is nothing to do.

Will get food/hope the game is running..

What's wrong with the JJTT hand, it seems pretty standard to me? Usually raising flop though of course but a flat with 2nd set vs. UTG open seems ok? I dunno I'm PLO fish.

I think raising flop is better, and as I wrote the HH his river play is fine.

I made a typo. The river was actually an Ace. the reg had trip Js with nut blockers and bet the river.


Played some 1/2 PLO today. Sat down and the game was quite good, I quickly tripled up flopping nut straight+redraw to the nut straight vs top set and TP+gutshot to nut straight.

Lost a couple small-medium sized pots in standard spots..

Played one interesting hand:

Happens ~4orbits into the session..

limp, I raise AcJh9c8h in HJ, whale calls in CO, reggish looking guy calls on btn.

Flop($75)

8c 9s 5d

Hero checks, aggro whale checks, reg scratches the back of his neck, says okay and checks,

Turn

2d

Hero bets $60, whale calls, reg raises to ~$240 with ~$200 behind.

My flop play is pretty questionable. b/f'ing so much equity seemed really ****ty, and I thought I could induce air/semi-bluffs to bluff because the board whiffs my perceived range.

I think b/f'ing is probably slightly better than c/c'ing, c/r'ing some turns.

Once I get to the turn I think betting for value is mandatory.. When reg raises I thought he had mostly semi-bluffs and rarely slow played 67.

If I give him this type of range:

board: 9s8c5d2s
Hand Equity Wins Ties
JsQs**@55, As7sT*@35, 22TT@5, 67**@5 67.45% 403,809 1,769
8h9cAcJh 32.55% 194,422 1,769

I can't get it in +EV, but I could potentially call the raise and call all non spade rivers. Assuming he bluffs 50%+ of his missed draws I think its the most +EV line.. Yeah, not too sure. I nitted it up and folded. He claimed to have AsTs9


After playing for about 4 hour we got a dealer that refused to let us open to $15 and straddle to $5. She would only let us straddle to $4 and open to $7 (in non-straddled pots). I asked the dealer that if the floor said it was okay to continue the way we were playing for hours if she would let us, she of course agreed. I called the floor and asked.. The floor refused to let us play the way we did before and insisted we had to play the way the dealer was making us play.. A few people left the table out of principle of bad business. After about 5 minutes the game broke.

I wondered to the $5/5 and played for 30minutes. The game seemed pretty crappy and I felt under-rolled so I quit.

Overall 6 hours of play, up $800. Played 1 hour of NLH earlier and lost $132.

Going to an outlet mall tmrw. Hopefully will get some cheap clothes.

Nice win tonight man, but you really need to be logging some overnight hours with me. Sleep is for the weak

Hehe.. Yeah PLO isn't always running though :\


So the hand in my above post was played poorly in retrospect. b/f'ing is fine and cbetting is way better than c/c'ing c/r'ing some turns. Bleh, I'm a fish.

Ran hot and played well last night. $1263 in 7.5 hours.

One interesting hand..

Asian nit($500) playing 25/6/2 raises UTG to $15, I call in MP JT87ss, 2 other callers.

Flop($60) Qd8c5h

Asian nit bets $60, hero looks to left, notices next player folding and calls (too loose?), fold, fold

Turn ($180) 7h

Asian nit bets $150 ($~260 behind), hero ??

Asian nit had previously over-valued AA post flop, but I'm sure she has more than dry AA when she bets here. sets/good 2pair, straights, pair+FD. I'd expect her range to be high card heavy, so perhaps more pair+FDs than 2pairs/straights/sets. Anywho I called with plans to bluff some rivers.

I think its close between calling/folding. I'm in the 20-30% equity range vs this nits range and I don't have much depth to bluff on rivers. I could maybe get her to fold when she checks a heart or 6 river-- thats about it. Although, she's so nitty I think she would snap check/call 2nd nut straight a 6 river.

The game broke again last night for the same reason as the night before. I wrote up a complaint in the Borgata thread:

Super crushed $2/5 PLO tonight. Ran hot played well... May add some hands later

+$5069 over 11 hours Q.Q

wow! nice job.

told ya, never go back to online

Live bores me though.. It seems so much slower and 95% of the players are boring people. Getting into 1 interesting/marginal spot per 3 hours isn't that stimulating.. Printing money is though


Went down to the poker room and noticed super whale sitting at a table with $6k+. Flirted with girl at desk and got to the top of list (I was on the list before but wasn't around when my name got called).

Just lost ~-$3500 in 1 hour, in 2 pots.

Played a huge pot vs the super whale 3 limpers I overlimp Ah9c3h3c in the CO, super whale makes it $60, we go to flop 5 ways. Flop ($315) Kc9h5c checks to me I bet $225, whale makes it $700, I call planning on getting it in on and non-K/5 turn. Turn comes a 4d, I check, whale puts me allin for $1300, I call, river K, super whale shows KK4c8c.

Got it in vs a different whale with AA94ss vs QQ65r pre for $1400, ran twice, got scooped.

Whale left the table and only 1 whale remained. I decided against playing because the rest of the table seemed like ABC nits and I'm very under-rolled for $5/10.

Sold off 20% of my action, so only lost $2919. Biggest winning day of all time follewed by biggest losing day of all time. I suppose that's to be expected when I play $2/5 and $5/10 PLO..

Hopefully 2/5 or 1/2/5 gets going tonight.. 2 tables of 5/10 going atm.

sad day but I like your reports. Wish you the best of luck.

Whoops, I had Ac3c not 9c3c. I spoke with a reg that had been playing with him all morning.. He thought villain was playing less splashy at that point and had mostly sets on the flop.. In that case, the flop is a marginal fold.

Played a 5.5 hour session. Game was $5/5, 9 handed with 2 whales, 1 bad aggro player.

I was pretty card dead and developed a nitty image. I played trappy OOP and aggro IP.

A few hands:

nit($700) limps MP, I ($1500) raise QQ78ss in HJ, good lag (covers) flats in co, blinds fold.

Flop ($70)

9d 7h 2h

nit checks, I bet $55, lag calls, nit calls

Turn ($235)

7d

nit checks, hero checks, lag bets $200, nit folds, hero calls

river ($635)

2c

hero checks, lag tank checks

lag shows AQ24..

Hand 2:

nut peddling nitfish limps EP, thinking nit limps co, I raise to $25 on the btn with JJ96ss, nut peddling nitfish calls, thinking nit calls

Flop ($85)

Ks Tc 7d

check, check, hero checks

Turn

9d

check, check, hero bets $75, nut peddling nitfish calls, fold

River($235)

2c

nitfish checks, hero bets $175, nitfish calls / shows KKQ4.

I like my river bet but dislike sizing. Basically I’m trying to get a nit to fold 2pair or pair+FD, hes not going to fold a set. I should size in the $125-150 range.

Was planning to play another session.. but got lazy and started drinking left-over beers and watching Jerry Springer.

I'm leaving tomorrow and spending a night in Philly on the way back. Hoping to meet up with an awesome girl I met traveling in Paris a couple years ago.

A short trip summary; Games were average to above average from my live PLO experience. The field is pretty soft in general. In a player pool of ~40-50 players I would label 3 as solid regs that would win at 8bb/hr+. Strangely 2 of them are 40+, and one is me

Vegas>Atlantic city on pretty much every level.

I played 39.5 hours and won $5840. Run-good came at the right time..

I'm pretty sure a couple of regs are aware of this thread. To them-- it was fun playing with you and perhaps I'll see you in Vegas.

Played .5 hours on the way home at Sands casino. They had a $1/2 PLO game that was the best action I've seen all weekend. The stakes are small and the max buy-in is only $300. Average stack was about $1-$1.5k, players were horrible.

I'm behind pace on volume goals for the month (obviously). I've played 13k hands and have 32k hands to go in 16 days, or 2k/day. I'm going to play PLO50 today to break-in to the online dynamic, then switch to PLO100 for a shot.

I'm going to play 6-8 tables at PLO100 instead of 9. This will allow me to focus more effort into my monthly 3b/vpip goals, and force me to play more hours. May slightly lower $/hr, though..
