Hey guys, just got back from Florida! Trip was a lot of fun, got to meet up with some online poker friends and stay at an air bnb with them and hang out and grind poker for 12 days. Here were the final results for the trip:
Happy with the final results because the beginning of the trip was horrible tbh, started off with the first two days being -$3300 and not having much faith of being able to end the trip in the green... A lot of massive coolers in big pots that were unavoidable such as 44 vs KT on KK4Tx 200+bb deep JT vs AJcc on KQ9cc all in on flop 200bb and losing, AA getting cracked by a fish limp calling 32o and flopping trips, ect ect, you get the deal lol.
Got to play a decent bit of 5/10 which was fun, have only ever played 5/10 twice before this trip I believe. Didn't play a ton of 5/10 because honestly the 2/5 games were soooo good and the 5/10 games were pretty reggy most the time so it didn't make a ton of sense to play a lot of them tbh. 5/10 definitely hurt my overall results a lot because I ran especially bad in those games, I had one funny hand early on that I still remember.
1 or 2 limps, EP opens $40, 2 ppl call, I call 66 on BTN, 5 ways to flop Q64ccd x to me I bet $75 into $200 2 ppl call, turn 2d HJ donks $250 into $425 I raise to $675 other guy folds, he calls, river Kd he donks $800 into $1800 I call and he had JTdd lol.
Might not of been the exact board but that was generally what happened, he floated flop with nothing but a bdfd and runner runners into it vs my set, pretty brutal lol.
One thing that really surprised me at 5/10 was how bad the regs were. Ofc not all of them were bad, but the more hands I observed/played vs them the worse and worse I thought they were at poker lol. Thing that sucks the most about live poker is that you can see stuff like that happen but there isn't much you can really do about it since you are only playing like 25 hands/hr, so winning at a WR of 20bb/100 vs the regs lets say, is really gonna be nothing in terms of an hourly.
I also had one crazy dude at 2/5 that I walked into that apparently dumped off like 14k in a few hrs. I was there for the final 30mins of it and was lucky enough to get a piece. He was opening to $100-200 literally every hand so I had ATs UTG, threw in a little limp because I knew he was gonna raise to something insane, he makes it $200, everyone folds I jam for $1100 eff he calls A9o and we hold
. 2 hands later I get QQ in the SB, bunch of ppl limp, I make it $45, he jams $900 eff in BB I call, he has 95o, flop comes 952, but we river the Q luckily lol and he left after that.
I played a little bit of online during my time there but not a whole lot. Took one day off from live poker specifically to play online because it was driving me crazy lol and that helped a lot. Overall was -$1107 at 200z during the two weeks which sucks. Online bankroll peaked at $16k on 7/12 and is currently down to $12.2k
. But since I am back home now I'm gonna be back on the study grind once again and will be working on bringing that bankroll back up! Lots to do, going to take today off (woke up at 7:30pm lol) and probably be back on the grind tomorrow and should be back with the weekly updates on this thread every Sunday/Monday as usual from here on out. Peace!
