I took $600 into the live streets last night and I had almost forgotten how swingy it can be! Hit a set and was up
+$400 at one point, got double board bomb potted down to
-$300 not long after, hit a few more sets to get up
+$150, had a ridiculous scoop of a DBBP to get up
+$1200, and finally lost with AK to JT on a flop of AK2, turn Q before deciding to leave up
+$800.
Biggest hand of the day:
$750 effective, everyone (7?) in for $5 pre-flop. Hero in SB w/ A

(Pot $35)First board: A

Second board: K

Cool, top trips and nut flush draw. First to act so I pot it for let's say $35 because I can't really remember. 4 callers.
(Pot $210)First board: A
Second board: 2
Well, I'm not really concerned about anything now. It's not often you're guaranteed half the pot in these dumb hands. Bet pot ($210?), 3 callers (one is all in for way less, I think)
(Pot ~$900)First board: x
Second board: not a
Not much else for me to do but shove ~$500, V1 folds, V2 is already all-in, V3 tanks, asks if I can beat a boat on the first board, I just stay silent, he says eff it and calls. I turn over my hand and V1 apparently would have won the second board because he's pissed off, V2 had a boat and flush on the first board and nothing on the second, and V3 had a boat on the first board and nothing on the second, so I scoop with quads on the first and a pair of AA on the second
+~1200
Absolute nonsense. I'm pretty sure I was down about $400 on the day with the Double Board Bomb Pots to that point, so a nice swing to be sure but I may or may not sit those out in the future...or at least only play hard with the mortal nuts on one board
All that to say, I'm glad I got back into live play! While I'm not quite sure how to measure my win rate in a ridiculous session like that (or if it even matters), I played for 4 hours, won some money, and enjoyed myself!
Bankroll up to a little over $2000
