@tswpoker I like those purples too. but those bigger chips, $1k pumpkins and $5k greys have a nice weight to them. Its something different. I heard they actually have the plaques. not sure their $ amount...maybe its a $25k plaque.
Extremely crappy table today. I thought about moving tables a couple times during the session, but the other 2 tables didnt look much better. It was sooooooooooooooo nitty! I played about 4 hours, and I didnt want to wait around for the table to get better, so
I took my winnings and bounced. +$157. It mostly came from one hand
Here it is...
after 4 limps to me, Im ($280) otb w 7
8
and make it $12. Sb calls (very active, B level player playing $500), and my gd friend N calls in HJ (solid A level player w $250 stack). 3 to The flop of 9

. It gets check to me, I bet $15. Sb folds, and N calls $15. The turn was smthing brickish like a 2
. My gd friend N checks again, and I bet $25. My budro N ch/raises me to $60. I called the $35 more in the strongest way possible (didn't want to show my fear). My gut feel then was he had a drawing hand. W both of us day shift regs.. we tango ALOT, and I never remember him ch/raising me n any hands. So i didnt have a lot of info to go on, but the play seemed like a semi bluff. I wanted to call his raise in a posture that it looked like it was an easy call, but actually I was a little worried. The river is noncomplete and brickish, maybe a 3
. He leads out $75, and I tank 40 seconds, and I call. He said he missed. 9

That was my money maker today (like I've said before- sessions usually come down to 2 to 3 crucial hands). I didnt think i was going to be able to squeeze out much from that table, so an hour and half later I rolled.
