Here is a quick session review from last week in which I ended down a bit.
10/2/13-MD Live
28mins 1/2 NLHE 0 (broke even)
1:44 mins 5/10 NLHE -$560
7:56 2/2 PLO +$60
Total Session ~10:10
Got to the casino early and ended up playing a long session. The PLO game I was in was really good so I just didn't want to get up. I was buried for like nearly $1,500 after a few bad beats and some missed draws, etc. Ended up holding in a dumb pot with AAxxds getting it all in probably not in great shape but in a 4b pot.
Here are a few of the key hands:
Could have lost more
Just got moved to 5/10 maybe 2 orbits ago. We are 6 handed as people are moving to the main game and bringing new players in. I open A
Q
to 35 from MP. C/O calls and we go to the flop HU. I really have no
reads at this point though he seems middle aged and not super aggro.(Pot $85) Flop Q
4
5
. I lead $55 and he calls.(Pot $195) Turn A
. I lead $120 and he calls. At this point I guess his range is OESD, A4, A5, sets, Qx, A2, A3 and that seems about it.(Pot $435) River 7
I decide to check (although bet/fold might be better in hindsight). He
bets $275 and I can't fold even though I think I am beat here a decent
amount. Top 2 seems like the bottom of my calling range here against
what appears to be a straightforward older player. IDK...I call to see
44. Other than that 5/10 was rather uneventful other than turn quad 9s in a pot where I had opened Q
9:club and seen the board run out 8999. I bet turn smallish and he folded.First Dumb PLO Hand
I was raising a lot...probably most at the table and probably had a pretty splashy image. Not sure what my post-flop image was but I think most thought I was trying to run the table or at least be the most aggro.
I don't recall the action exactly but I called a raise in M-LP with 9
956.
Not the greatest ever but I felt fine post flop and most stacks were
200BB+ deep so I am fine playing some marginals. Anyway there must have
been a straddle to 5 and a raise to 20 at some point as I remember
going 8 ways with $160ish in the middle.(Pot $160) Flop 8
9T
Ok never folding. Middle set with meh flush draw. End up getting it
in 3 ways in about an $900+ pot (maybe a bit more) with 78-82% equity
and obv losing (I didn't write down all the suits though for sure I
remember only 1 other being shown.

So that hurt though always good to get in that far ahead. Lost another where a dorky McLovin looking kid led 589r board, I pot 997T, tight older guy behind me stacks off and McLovincalls off with QQJT and board runs Qx and McLovin scoops after (I think unintentionally) slow rolling.

Finally I got it in here:
AAxxds-Close eyes and jam
I open A
AT9
to 15 over a straddle. Gambly asian dude 3b to 55 and gets 2 callers.
I repot to 275 and get 2 callers. Effective stacks to start the hand
are:Me $700
Gambly Asian $600
Other Dude $450
Basically I am forced to stack off on all boards mathematically IMO.
(Pot ~$875) Flop 8
7K I jam, asian dude thinks a bit and calls off after I guess realizing the size of the pot, 3rd dude calls off.(Pot ~$1825) Turn 2
, River Q
and I somehow hold. I assume I was up against pair and draw combos,
something like that. I thought the Q was actually bad as it made a lot
of 2 pair hands but I was good!Once I won this I basically kept it up and ended up slightly up for the PLO portion of the session.
Moving this week so not sure I will get down there though I will try.
