On a pretty nice win streak. It all started with a 100/100/200 Omaha game. Blinds are in Philippine Pesos, so it's like 2/4 or 2/3 or w/e. Not a huge game. 100 bb min. So I lost a few blinds here or there and then I picked up T653 in a double board bomb pot. I flopped 245cc, T54 rainbow. Pretty decent. I bet 3k into 4500 and one caller. A rec lady on my left I was friendly with. Turn 8c, Jc. Pretty bad. Check check. River 8d, Tx. Pretty good. I c/c 10k and scoop.

Another pot I won I limped in with AAK7. Facing only a single raise I opted to limp call. We went three to the flop. The flop was A53, giving me the top set and second nuts. I call down the prfr on a Q, 8 runout where he unloads the clip. Allegedly he had QQ.


So anyway that was +40k.


Last night I ended up getting stacked for 8k with AK < AA AIPFR. Really stupid pot to. It was straddled, couple limpers, I pot it to 600 with AKdd, two callers, then an EP limper jams for 8k. No way anyone would play aces like this right? Wrong. I'm left with 1k in chips and I fold until I pick up QQ then stack off vs JJ and lose to a river jack. Le sigh. Anyway, I switch tables to the 50/100 game. Buy in 15k. I complete AQ vs a couple limpers, flop KJThh. I bet chunky on flop and turn and get called, river is a Q so board is now KQJT and I check to let him bluff at it but he checks back showing Q3hh for missed hearts. Then our game breaks and we combine tables.

So relatively early on in the night i pick up AKdd and its minraised and called in front of me. I raise to 1k and get three callers. Flop is KJx. Checks to me, I bet 2k, fold, call, fold. Turn 9c, check, spr 1 so all in, he calls with 45cc?!?!? air on flop, picked up fd. he bricks it. CHIPS! I play ultra snug mostly just playing big pairs and putting in ridic three bets with them. Kept getting called and then folded to on the flop also. I end up winning like 10k on the night.

Prev. night I won with AA vs AK AIPF, and the night before that I won with AA flopped top set, buddy called down to the river and then hit his flush on board pairing river.

Anyway we're doing great so far, from 60k to probably around 150k. Did have a pretty brutal session right before this run, although that wasn't mostly just run bad, I lost like 160bb AIPFR vs A9 and KQ with TT (it was a good spot, and I'm definitely not one to overplay med pairs, the A9 guy was short and jammed for like 25 bb and the guy who called him was tilted and playing loose so I had to punish jam my TT which I had flatted). And I had a hand earlier where I put in 36 bb on the turn with 94% (JT8x board with Q9 vs K9) only for him to spike the Q on the river and then I pay off like 90 bb.



Anyway going to be grinding until like 2M then buy a house.

Resorts World Session

Two players limp and I make it 500 to go in late position with KK. Three callers. The flop is a beautiful KT6 with two hearts, and I cbet 1100. Only one caller, who checks in the dark. I check back the Qh, and the river pairs the 6. My opponent bets 2400, and I make it 10,000 putting him all in. He calls fairly quick with a flush. We're now 25 hours into a poker session, and I'm sitting on just under 70,000 pesos at a 50/100 table. In for 55,000. What can I say, someone told me to never quit when the game is good.

And the game was good. I started off losing a few bbs at the 100/200 game, since a seat was open when I got there and they were just trying to get it started. Nothing really eventful happened before I bounced. At the 50/100 I ended up getting stuck. I three bet a fairly loose opener with AKss and picked up a cold caller. The flop came JJT giving me a gutty to a royal flush. The colder caller had aces and I didn't improve. He was short stack anyway. And then just a long stretch of being card dead. I picked up no hands, and the few I played didn't go far. There was one player on the other side of the table who was playing very loose aggro. Opening wide. I suspected he stole a lot of pots on the river. While I sat there and folded I got a chance to observe him. After a while I concluded that I really knew nothing, the tells he was exhibiting which I first observed that said he was bluffing were there constantly. He had a few though, hand in front of his mouth, motionless, cards completely unprotected. Anyway we got into a huge pot. A couple limpers, I make it 600 with AK, he makes it 2400, I make it 10,000 he says "let's gamble" and call. The flop comes all babies, he jams 14k effective and I call. He has JJ and I turn a king.

Then there was some tilt and bad play. This maniac lag guy who always gets into my head joined us, along with his smokeshow of a girlfriend (she's also a very tough poker player). Anyway I lost a bunch of pots to him, mean while he was dumping chips to everyone else. Some people you just can't beat. Eventually they left, and I my stack was fluctuating between 37,000 to 30,000 for a long time, winning and losing some small pots here and there.



Too many hands to even think about. But one shining moment needs to be recaptured. My opponent raises a couple limpers in LP to 600. He loves doing this with speculative hands, so I had targeted him to be three bet for value wider than normal (my normal three betting range being AK/QQ+). Anyway I make it 2400 with AA. He called. The flop came Q64 and I c-bet and he check raised small. I called. The turn was a 7. He bet 7500. I called. The river as an 8. He checked, and I checked. A big pot for one pair, more than 20,000 in there. He had AQ. Too bad the river didn't come a four or something.

So that hand brought me back to 50k or so. And from there, mostly folding, until the kings full hand. Then the last hand of the night, a LAG chinese guy comes to the table. The guy to my right is down to 2k, anyway long story short I have TT, the Chinese guy bets 1100, the other guy jams, I call, Chinese guy jams 12k and he's sitting on like 35-40k, I end up folding and he has AT. I decide to call it a night.


Anyway I made some money so whatever. Long session.

another long, long session of 50/100 php. i was up 10k almost right away. QQ > JJ on the 50 bb stack was a nice start, I cold 4 bet all in vs 350 - 1000. The 350 was a little suspicious because villain had made an oversized raise pre and showed KK (so the inference is he has a decent but non nutted hand).

some hands. one villain opens ep i flat AA next to act. not sure the last time i've ever done that in cash. flop A24 two tone. Villain c-bets I put in a hefty (pot sized raise). villain calls. turn is an ace, he checks, i bet like 1/3rd, he folds, and I end up cheating myself out of the high hand because apparently you need to see the river. it's only 2000 pesos anyway.

villain blind raises to 600 from EP. i flat Jd9d next to act. one other caller, villain makes it 2500 from the blinds. i call. flop QJ4. xx. turn 9. 1500 call. river 3. 4500 call, I lose to QQQ. pre is pretty bad here even 25k effective.



anyway games were really good.

had a JJ hand where it went 300, call call, I make it 1600 tid.

had an AK hand where villain makes it 500 from EP/Mp i make it 1600 from the blinds. flop is like Q9x rainbow and we just check it down and my hand is good. i think i like the line, just need to take some c/c lines with AQ and AA and QQ sometimes as well.

nice KK hand where I iso a few limpers to 500, one very loose player calls. flop 974 x i cbet like 50% or something. calls. turn 7. x x. river 3 x I go 40% fold.

98hh limp villain 400 this guy made some pretty big mistakes, lost a decent sized pot with 42o where he A) chose to play in like MP or something B) bet the river with bottom pair where he was too strong to value bet and too weak to bluff, just a bad time to bet C) peeled bottom pair vs small multiway cbet. anyway he was very active. i don't think this hand is an auto play in a raised multiway pot even in position but in this specific scenario vs these players i think it was a profitable flat. anyway flop comes 9xx he cbets small i call, turn i think pairs the bottom pair he checks i 40% he folds.

oh this one was fun. i open a small suited connect, 45 or 56. villain calls me. villain and i have some history, he is a bit loose (he got into a big pot today with J4 where he flopped top pair + fd and gii vs nfd and doubled through him for a huge pot) but seems to know what he is doing pretty over all. we've probably played like 10-20 hours at the same table this week. anyway I flop like k23 so just open ended and i'm first to speak three way so i c-bet loose guy calls. turn i pick up hearts and I fire a large second barrel (75%) and tid with my combo draw. im a huge nit so always love it when i get the odd redline win.

had another interesting hand. so I open KJs 300 and then this lady, rec, tries to three bet me to 700. her range is pretty nutted, but i'm still calling the 400. but she actually string raises it. she does it with one hand, but first she throws in the 300, and then a few seconds later the 400. the dealer wanted to let her get away with it. normally i wouldn't even care and would go with intent but i'd seen dealers enforcing string bets very strictly against other players so i mean i don't really care about what the policy is but make it consistent. like one guy was called on a string bet when he bet with two hands and one hand was just slightly trailing the other. i really felt like the lady was getting a favourable ruling from the dealer because she was filipina so i demanded a floor decision and they relented before the floor actually ruled. then flop came k high, she cbetted like 120% pot so I just folded my top pair. lady is a massive spot, just ultra loose passive, never get any value, always pay off when behind. u gotta love 'em.

at one point i was super card dead over a long period of time.

oh had a LRR KK hand. I limp UTG, gets raised with at least two callers, i make it 2k, three callers. flop came 852, i check, short stack all in, two deep stacks fold, i call and win vs JJ.

oh yah. there was a really wild chinese guy. baccarat player. and he brought a friend. he had a really sick angle too, where he called the turn and then went to raise. but he's held to just calling. it as a 2k turn bet. anyway the bettor just shuts down and chinese guy tables 72 for bottom pair. so either a sick free showdown angle or he really meant to raise with bottom pair which is quite credible also. chinese guy won a huge pot vs AA with T2dd when he flop top pair + fd and got it all in. AA had opened for like 11 big that hand but was no match for the tenacious preflop calling of our baccarologist. i didn't get any hands vs him, but i did get a fun hand vs his friend? son? accomplice? Anyway after the main guy ****ed off to play baccarat or go sleep or whatever his friend remained behind. He was really really bad too, much more hopeless than his friend who at least was splashy and crazy. This guy was just straight like call and then lose. Anyway he limped ep, I raise to 500 with 99, get a loose / enterprising call behind and then buddy goes to call but accidentally makes it 1100. I make it 4500 and tid.
