Glad I could be of help! Now where's my 10%?!?

How long you staying in Jersey? Are you going to be here till it cools then head to Fla. like you did last winter?

Hey Mike gotta couple of questions how you played ur hands & some likely scenerios if you don't mind, I'm mostly a tourney player so whatever i can learn from a "Live" cash pro than Great

With that 77 in ur first hand. What if the flop came different such as
238? You ch & he ships what would go through ur mind at that point? Is he goin in with a str8 draw, being a donk and just trying to get paid off with TT or something. As you've been playing live for a while, do u notice alot of guys just shipping with AK when hitting absoulety nothing on the flop?

Also with ur 34 hand where u win a huge pot. Betting that 125 into that 40. Is that something typically you do to NON poker players and know u can get paid off pretty easily? Would like it if you could explain ur strategy there a lil bit. If anyone ever did that to me on the river I'd be like WTF Yo! lolz

Grandmaster Wolf - every time I read this thread I get the itch to go play some live cash! Due to my saving for a monster Euro-trip at the end of the year this hasn't been possible, but at the start of the week I came into some money so thought I'd treat myself and headed to Star City (Sydney) for some pokerz and had a sick session! +880 in under 4 hours - share the rungood brother!

At the risk of derailing the thread I'll just mention two hands -

First, UTG straddles $6 (not live), a couple of callers, I flat BTN with 2 black 4's. BB makes it $25, straddler calls and so do I. UTG is pretty decent and starts with ~$700. His range is pretty narrow here and since I start the hand with a little over $400, I'm looking to double up when I flop my set. UTG is the crazy Asian who was running a lot of big bluffs and playing almost ATC preflop. Had built up a stack of ~$650 so again, I double up if he goes crazy.

Flop comes 44Qr. Check-check-check. Turn 10. Check-check, I bet $35 into $80. BB calls, UTG thinks for a minute before making it $115. I tank for a few minutes before sliding in the call. In this spot he rarely has a made hand. It's either 10's full, some kind of J8/J9/AJ type hand he's semi bluffing with or he has total air. BB folds and afterwards claims AQss. Sick fold.

River 5. UTG asks me how much I have left ($313) and quickly bets $205 and folds to my snap shove. Ship the $750 pot.

Second, my last hand of the night - BB with 25ss. UTG, who's pretty average and opening quite wide makes it $8 with $250 behind. CO calls with $140 behind, BTN calls as do I. Flop 6A4 with one spade. UTG bets $16, CO calls and I throw a call in for good measure. Pot ~$75. Turn 3h putting two hearts on board and giving me the second nuts. UTG has been betting big on multiple streets with top pair, particularly on wetter boards, and I'm about 90% sure he's going to fire again with all of his aces, so I check. Sure enough, UTG bets $50, CO calls with $80ish behind, and I decide to flat with the intention of leading the river. If I raise here, I probably get the rest of the CO's stack, but UTG will fold all of his one pair hands. Earlier in the session I c/r him on a J95r flop with J9 and he doubled me up with AJ - he's not going to pay me off again if I c/r. I also feel like flatting and leading the river is going to look weaker, and if he does have a stronger hand he's going to make a crying call, plus I get the CO's stack.

River comes an offsuit 10. I'm praying UTG has the AT one time, so I lead for $140. In hindsight I think this may be a bit big, as UTG made a pained fold. I feel like $100 would've got called. As predicted, CO throws the rest of his chips in and I ship the pot. Easy game!

I felt like while I got lucky and made some hands, I also played a pretty solid session where I only showed down one losing hand in 3.5 hours, got away with a few bluffs and managed to maintain a very solid table image. I feel like reading this thread and the insights you and other live grinders have offered really helped me out at the table last night, and as a result I recorded one of the best, most mistake-free poker sessions I've ever played.

Keep us updated with your adventures, sessions and sick lifestyle hombre! Hope you continue to run good! Ship it!

Going back to Vegas July 6-12th for a private lesson with Phil Hellmuth for charity and to hit the QJ/Bluff/2+2 parties. Sick life

look at mr. baller flyin cross country for a couple of parties

What offer AE?

Mike just saw your QuadJacks interview... You look pretty cool brah! I apologize if this has been posted in this thread already

QJ guy is strange. Mike did a nice job of pretending the interviewer wasn't a creeper. Also, hair puts me in the mind of Elvis.

insane, just curious, how do you manage to get all these comp rooms?

I'm a professional casino games player, and I find it difficult to get saturday rooms in the summer time. Though part of my difficulty is because I'm playing under fake names half the time due to the fact that I'm not welcome under my real name at some places...

And how the hell did you stay at the taj for 2 months straight? I can only book 2 nights or 3 nights a week at a place comped, and I'm rated for like 300 bucks a hand at table games and have premium cards at every place I play at. In fact, right now I'm going through a host to get my comp rooms because otherwise I can't get it. (I generally avoid hosts because a host is nothing but trouble when I eventually get backed off at a place)

jesus holy brags

if its true, idk if id call it a brag. "I play $300 a hand and can't get comped at the taj" is, at best, a partial brag.

If you play $300 a hand, quit one hand early, game over, room is automatically comped. Grab a beer at the bar also.

Strange interview, bet you were glad that surebet was texting you so you could get the heck out of there.

lol coming soon haha. nice to see you on a roll

Ahahaha would be sick if you had the intuition to know which hand was the last one!

IRL that guy Marco is the man, hes really intelligent and just an all around great guy

jus pmmed you

Flying frontier out of laguardia to Denver for a connecting flight to Vegas. Got a prime spot right next to an outlet in a comfy chair at the gate. Went for drinks in the meatpacking district and saw a Laidback Luke concert at Governors island in NYC before I left. Put in some family time and hung out with my younger cousins and sister. Balancing life helps me to be a better poker player. Prob going to put in a 3 hour session tonight before the bluff party tonight at sapphire. Updates on twitter for sure. Quadjacks party and the 2+2 party in the next few days. Feel free to say what's up at the Wynn! Coming off a huge trip to AC so I need to step up and continue to crush. Check this out, Jason from surebet purchased a $3500 one hour lesson from Phil Hellmuth with the proceeds going to charity. So on the 11th me, Jason, and Hellmuth are going to sit down for an hour haha! Will video record it on iPhone and post on Facebook. Anything you guys want me to ask him?!?

tell him he shouldnt be charging 3500 when he folds QQ pre

Ask him if he thinks he'd win 'em all if it weren't for luck.

crack a joke about him falling short three times at the wsop this year and then record him going off

Sorry about the last few days guys. Super busy, have a ton to talk about. Played a bunch, hit all the crazy gatherings! Phones about to die, I was in bobbys room and iveys room! Met everyone. Will post all the details tomorrow night after I meet with Hellmuth!

ask him if he can beat 10/20 and 25/50 online

I've been crushing 10/20 and 25/50 online now that it's play money.
