I think I made the best and the worst play in the USA tonight I think I made the best and the worst play in the USA tonight

Hero brag and self-immolation diss:

1-2 NL: Have lost every hand I've played all night including stacked by 9-9 with J-10 suited on J-10-4 first hand I played. I'm on the button with 6-6, cut off raises to 20, I call, heads-up. Flop 10-6-2 rainbow. He bet $6. Clue 1. I make it $26. Call. Turn K. He checks, I bet $60, He shoves 400 in, I have about the same. Way over-raise. It's not aces, it's not A-K, and he's not risking his stack on a bluff. He absolutely loved his hand and was under no duress calling the raise on flop or over shoving turn. I already kind of suspected trip tens on the 6$ flop bet. I fold the hand on the 95% chance he has trip 10s or Kings. In retrospect, some small chance he had trip deuces. But everything in the aftermath said I was right, including comment he made after I left (a friend told me)

2-5 PLO: I have K-J-10-9, clubs to the J. Make it 25. Three calls. Flop K-10-5, backdoor clubs. I bet 50. One call. Turn Qc. I make second nut straight picking up flush draw. Head's up now, villain (actual hero) checks again. I bet 225. Call. OKay, no nut straight. River 8c. He shoves a stack of blacks to cover pot and me (I had about 500 left at that point). I rarely talk on a hand but I said something. He said the perfect thing to make me fold. I've always had this thing where I could soul read bad players if they talk, but good players I catch the other end of that phenomenon. I just disgustedly fold. He shows 4 unrelated cards to the flop. Was playing for steal the whole time. He might have had a back door flush draw, I'm not sure. Probably yes, he did have a red ace suited. And he's just thinking the whole time, "I'm going to take it from him." And he did ... me with top two, straight, and medium flush in 4-card. Not easy. Not a fold. Gotta pay it but he said the perfect thing in my backwards read of good players, which I already know about myself, but short-circuited.

Spoiler:
So I leave and that age old, age old, age old train situation (uncanny synchronicity of train delay when leaving on horrendous nights) has a new wrinkle. This time a cop is blocking the road about 100 feet in front of the crossing. It's pouring, visibility terrible, so I think maybe they are doing it for a train. I yell out the window to him when he motions me, "Is it a train or a flood." Wreck, he says. On the railroad tracks. The world's fair is out there trying to clear it up quickly. I also had a trick with my seating for the fourth time in a row in this joint. This time when he sat me for one he took me off the other list, unbeknownst to me at the time. When I question him on it he says, "I thought that other game was the one you wanted." Then the other guy who has caused the other seating anomolies comes over to see what kind of trouble I am causing this time. Me the bad guy in their stupid book. And I'm never going back. There are options.
