Welcome to the thread. Feel free to post whenever. The more active you are on here, the more fun you will have.

Good luck with the games downtown

Nothing more awesome then sitting at the table and looking at a guy who buys in for $40

I actually had the best night of my life, winning 2.1k. I went 50/50 with my friend who won 1400,so the end result was +1750 =)

I have pics but my phone is super old and not sure how to upload on this. And I chose some weekday nights because its what fits my schedule. The game has like no dropoff no joke

Grats on the big score!! Were there multiple contributors? I always wonder about the type of table you need for big wins like that. You cashed out with 4+ buyins! TR?

^^^^ I will give a TR, it will be a long one. I will give one by the end of week!

Congrats!!!

Its always a cool feeling walking out of the casino after a good score.

Regarding the 5/10 question, I'm sure he's going to wait to have the bankroll for it. He just got to 2/5! Looking forward to the TR. Any of the other MCC regs in this thread top $2100 cash at 2/5? 420 bb ftw.

must be nice to run good @ 2/5.

Jesus Christ, this post tilts me so bad. I'm assuming it's the red-headed, cracked out looking lady that runs around the table when there's 15 left trying to get the whole room to chop. When I FT'd last week, she informed us that she had $240 into this $10 rebuy (although she said she had horses) and was pleading to chop 15 ways where we'd all get $200 or so. At one point when we were down to 10 she had 1 BB utg and still was obnoxiously trying to push the chop. She may be the reason I'll never go back.

Sorry.

She is an older lady that sucks, and I mean S-U-C-K-S, at poker. She had the lowest stack when we started the FT. I regret agreeing to the chop because she recieved a hand out from all of us. She annoys the **** out of me and if I never talk to her again I would be happy.

It a shame that people like that go to Four Aces... I really do like the staff there and alot of my friends go there also. It just sucks having to deal with all the ****ed up random people.

Not you, my man, just the fact that said lady single-handedly makes that room miserable and the fact that she's able to buy her way to the final table and then plea to breakeven is just so annoying. I typically only go there when I want to and/or am hammered and try to entertain myself for $10 for a few hours but it's people like her that make me rather stay away.

lmao cause I know exactly who you're talking about. very loud and obnoxious.

+ $2500 ... my first time ever playing 2/5 ... not just at MC but 2/5 in general. lol

I had a good week prior at the 1/2 game, playing everyday and cashing out over $1000 so I decided to try out the bigger game. Obviously pretty nervous at first but that went away within an orbit or so. Hardest part imo with regards to the move up from 1/2 is not letting bet sizes psychologically affect your play. i.e. i folded trips to a river bet of $175, which was approx. less than 1/2 pot, when in a 1/2 game I probably snap call. I played pretty tight early on but after a couple hours got impatient. I was sitting around 550-600 and straddled for $10. A couple of limpers when it gets to the btn who raises to 60. Now, I had noticed he had raised his btn the last few orbits and decided beforehand if he did this time around I would make a move. It gets to me and I have Q6o. I raise to 180, folds to him and he tanks. He eventually calls and i'm thinkin, oh ****, well it was fun while it lasted. I know that i have to shove regardless the flop which comes Q J 10 r. I shove, he tanks and eventually calls. Turn is a blank. River is a Q. I say I think i rivered you and show the Q. He shows KK and asks to see the other card and isnt too happy when I show. Ooohs n ahhs and fist bumps from my side of the table and just like that the tight image I had built up, dissolves. I got lucky, sucked out and ran with it the rest of the night.

That's the truth for sure, even missing a day or 2 you have to go through a couple pages to catch up. 'Grats on your MCC score too!

In my area, yes, but I have not played there. I just finally ventured to Electric Stick last week.... still need to post a TR, I'll get around to it eventually. For now, about to be going to a friend's new house for a game.

Not sure what it is, but the bets at the 2/5 dont scare me at all. The money value has not gotten to me and if anything, I am more aggro at 2/5.

2-5 is a much better game, most people who play 1-2 are in it for fun and don't gamble much.

But...
1-2 is so much easier to reload then 2-5 is if you get stuck, well from my stand point!!! But a good run in 2-5 is 2-4k where the most I have ever won in 1-2 is 1500 or so give or take 200.

2-5 is such a great game when people buy in for 100bbs or are able to buy in deeper which is really better (hate to say a cap is better like 300bbs, because over that the game changes way to much, and people nut peddle)...

Yeah the deep games bother me. I've got a ton of practice (prob around 2 million hands) playing 100-200bb deep. The 5th and 6th bets 400bb deep are just soooo hard.

Yes

last 3 2/5 sessions included: top boat < quads, losing 2k pot pair + FD < FD, KK < J8 everything draw, AA < 86o on 56Qss, nut flush draw < set, set, oesd(lol), 2pair < everything, 0 sets

Grats.

Up in the burbs now - had to run out to my parents house. Might head to Cada's in a little bit to check it out. Do they have a 2/5 game there? See if I can get a little birthday luck rolling my way.

If anyone's there, I'll be in a black hoodie with black/white electric sunglasses. Come say hey and tell me I suck at cards.

they very rarely run 2/5.

Trying to gauge if theres any interest in either a plo8 or plo8/plo rxr this saturday at Cada's.....reply either in the thread or pm if you think you might wanna play and which one...
thanks

Nice montage
