Where do you play (or used to play) near school?

Why did floorman kick you out a while back?

Do you study mixed and if so how?

Thanks for the thread, it's different and entertaining imo.



play on no sleep always works out!

You can fire a 20k bacc bet but not a cbet in nlhe?

Where does your bankroll come from?

It's a one time thing. Glad to hail mary and win the biggest bet of my life.

I track pit n cash separately. I'm a feesh in nlhe, I have a very low cbet freq. It's not about winning or losing certain amount of money... pit is pit, cg is cg.

I certainly have lost say 5k in cash n try to win 5k in bacc but even if i win the 5k back in pit i know i lost in cash and i'd pretend that 5k i won in pit doesnt exist.

Bkr = grad school salary + 5/10 PLO winnings in sacramento.

Living in vegas is -ev in terms of not playing the soft stones and capitol plo games but having two employees there owing money is such a nut low. Do not want to go back. Absolutely sickening. This is my third year in (professional) poker and glad my loss is small in first year and even smaller in 2024 so that I can withstand a couple hits and bounce back! Not many make it, i tell aditya prasetyo and greg jamison that if i make it in vegas like they do, im never leaving sin city.

A journey with an unknown developing trajectory. If i go broke, i go to community college to teach for 20k a year or something. If nothing else, we give an honest shot in gambling.

Sacramento ghetto corner : capitol casino

Citrus Heights near sac : stones gambling hall - mike postle

Lincoln norcal as well : thunder valley for tournaments

getting kicked out - i think u referring to bike - pretty sure floor thought i was some bum who wandered into the high limit room - iirc i was told by the host eric miller that a 2/400 mix going on there turns out to be lhe. cant remember details

i talk a lot of strats w good players and i learn from the hands i play w them.

i run some numbers myself too but my opinions and certain decision trees are so uncommon id not share them here at this moment.

HH TIME

1) raise 9 on button in dugi gregorich defended n whiff twice n fold turn

2) raise A367T in co in ace peter 3! bb n draws 1 i draw 2 instead of 1 two bricks, i fold to his cbet

3) mark g opens utg abe g flats button i defend a47xx in bb 3-1-2 (yes i pitch 7 for smoother draw oop n multiway)
i improve to a247x but XF to marks dark bet since i would be drawing 2 vs a possible drawn pat

4) 3! button acahjs9s to garth's LJ open in double board omaha hihi
mark g cold calls bb, high card n high pair heavy most likely
k96r96
7s4s2s23
got hu value vs mark all three streets

he is off to a very bad start today but very calm n composed. Good role model.

5) i raise utg 888TQss in drawmahahi garth 3b sb kk85x flop 446 im drawing thin on board he draws 1 i put him on big two pairs then and hope to catch a 4 with my two card draw.

Unfort chop.

6) deuce razz: J bringin X 5 5 6 4(92) 5 2
i complete in "hijack", "cutoff" and "button" both fold
jack defends
(92)4823 vs (xx)J34A

7) stole in 8 handed deuce razz w 2(9Q) in "cutoff"
button tight player w 5 showing decides to call oops. I know mark g aint defending an ace.
i am stealing a bit too wide. 2(7x) might be ok.

8) Guy H opens KK52 hj i 3! aaq4ss co
433 flop i hv a bdfd XX
turn 7 he bets i call
river T he checks i find thin value bet and we chop

9) open aa28r lj and everyone folds

15) 8761 didnt hold 3way
river was pat-1-pat
then check bet i tank for a while (wouldve tanked longer if i am shameless) and eventually makes the call, abe folds, Guy shows 2357

i was getting 10.5 to 1 on the river. ive folded n be wrong and ive called n be wrong
i hate myself

There are many interesting hands and icm spots but im so tired.



came back to bellagio. practiced some BJ with my buddy; shot some craps, not a single 7!!! lost 1500. Now back in room playing heads up 8-game freezeout for $500 a pop. And i have 2-1 chip disadvantge!!! I'm getting hustled!!!


Ugh bought out the freezeout for $170 as more players join the playmoney table online.

Then we switched to a $170 PLO sit n go and I won that.

Then he calls NLH sit n go i dont stand a chance and lose $100.

Getting HUSTLED!!!!!!!


Aww I went 1-3 in HU with Adam and lost $200. Bad night!


we lost 1500 more in paigow
and came to paris and won 3800 in blackjack 😀



Sky's the limit!

The. Wynn. Building. Trophy!!!!



sweating buddy crapping at rio

dream come covering field. u get $175
u get $175
u get $175
u all get $175!!!!



i had a bunch of hands in my mind, but i simply do not have the enthusiasm and energy to recap all of them like in cash because there are so many spots I deviate from my cash game play so much, and there are a lot of spots played under icm consideration so lines taken are different. I can jog down a few.

Early stage:
won some small o8 pots i think and bluffed (KcQc)Ts9s4c5s(x) into bin weng's (xx)8764(x) he had a five somewhere. I call 3rd lead 4th check 5th lead 6th and dark 7th.

Middle stage:
O8 rush.
open and i 3! AKJT, got one big street of value on 99KTx
2bet the limper w A34T and runout was A3J44 i scoop
two hands of razz rush
LHE i xr AQ from sb on QT6 n XX 6 turn n XR 6 river

FT:
made a wheel flush to scoop a 3way stud8 pot.
had rolled Q > milgrom's rolled up J in stud8. i limp 3! and check 5th on (QQ)QAA to trap but got value 6 n 7th.
had two moments where i felt i was destined in addition to the wheel flush hand where i freerolled a high - one is having wired 22 n two pair going into river vs bin's open 9s but pretty sure thats his only pair prolly had a straight draw and i ended up with rolled down 222 for a canoe; two is ugly board vs ugly board vs bin in stud hi and he had open 2s i called on sixth w (25)49J3. I wouldve called him w any rivered pair and hey i rivered an ace!

I am sure I can recap more looking back text msgs esp for early n mid stages cuz electronic device not allowed at FT.

I had 50% of the chips during 7 handed play! I held the lead after the razz rush when 3 tables remain and never give it up. Head absolutely hurts!

LIMPING IN STUD IS SO NUTTED. I am tired. GGWP. beat one.


lets goooooo
