Had another good day. Played 3 hours of NLHE and was up roughly $1000, then 6 hours of PLO and was up roughly $400 for $1425 total. Two NLHE hands and three PLO hands for today:
Hand 1: I make it $20 preflop with 9
9
on the button, both blinds call (both huge fish).
Flop 9
2
2
, pot $60
Both check, I bet $15, both call.
Turn J
, pot $105
Both check, I bet $25, SB folds, BB raises to $100, I raise to $325. He quickly calls.
River K
, pot $755
BB checks, I bet $400, BB folds. I showed this hand...
Hand 2: The very next hand, I raised pre with 75s, then bet $15 into a 4-way $100 pot with no pair and absolutely no draws at all and everyone folded. Best pricing on bluff ever.

On to PLO, had 3 big hands. Main villain is one of the bigger spots at the table, a very well-off and nice older guy who plays literally 100% VPIP (he only folded once preflop this session where I limp/raised AA34r to $550 and took it down preflop) but can value bet thin, bluff, and fold postflop as well as play tricky. Loose postflop as well, in both betting frequency and peels flops/turns light. Always wears a Hawaiian-print shirt, let's call him Hawaii.
Hand 3: Hawaii straddles for $25 from the BTN then pots it to $105, only me and the best player at the table limp/call (the only other player I wouldn't consider a fish at the table, the game was absolutely sick today). I have J
J
T
5
. Depending on my mood I might fold this pre, /shrug.
Flop J
8
6
, pot $325
I check planning to c/r since Hawaii will cbet here a lot, but they both check.
Turn 2
, pot $325
I check, pro bets $300, Hawaii folds, I make it $1225 with about $1600 behind. He tanks for an extremely long time and eventually folds.
Hand 4: I just wanted to post this hand because it's spewy. Just a total disaster. Hawaii makes it $60 preflop from the blinds, again me and the pro are only callers. I have Q
9
8
6
. Again I sometimes just fold this pre depending on my mood. We're about $3000 deep.
Flop 8
7
4
, pot $180
Hawaii bets $180, I call (folding here is probably better), pro folds.
Turn 3
, pot $540
Hawaii bets $540, I call. In retrospect I think this is a fold, despite results.
River T
, pot $1620
Hawaii checks, I bet $540 (too thin?), Hawaii calls with QJT9 with Q high diamonds. So amazingly I was actually good with my pair of eights on the turn, heh.
Hand 5: This one isn't as interesting but I'm posting it anyway because it's a big pot. I raise with K
Q
J
7
, Hawaii calls. HU to the flop.
Flop Q
9
5
, pot $120
Hawaii checks, I bet $110, Hawaii calls.
Turn T
, pot $340
Hawaii leads for $340, I flat. I pretty much expect him to fold almost 100% of the time if he doesn't have KJxx and I raise here.
River 8
, pot $1020
Hawaii checks, I bet $700, Hawaii calls with QJT6. Probably should have bet more since he can really only call with the Q high straight here, which is probably calling a full pot bet.
LA total: $35491, 251 hours.
