+$355/4.5 hours. Best game in a while with 4 loose cannons w/$$ that over raise/3b and squeeze, unfortunately for me it resulted in widening my calling range and whiffing. Was able to pick up a couple med pots w/KK and flopped boat with 66 for ~$140.

Hold em at this casino (they state they can’t do PLO in NLH). But other casinos in the state do PLO. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

It’s worth noting this is a terribly ran room with no manager and every dealer is dual rate.

Decent game for about an hour. Had 3 players go all in blind for ~$425 each. All had live cards J9o, Q7o and K4o. Flop KJ9r, turn 6, River T so they all had some sweat.

+$330, 5 hours and game broke. Had AA three times and held each time for small pots. Made a couple loose pre flop calls that shouldn’t have. Flopped top and bottom pair in bomb pot, bet $40 on flop and called. Turn paired middle pair and checked, villain bet $125 and I folded.

Bit of a mixed bag today. Finally had full table and good action game. I overplayed AT to squeeze and ran into AA for half my stack early. Then played poor/passive poker with a sub 100bb stack. Lost AA to QJcc, a turned set to river flush and flopped bottom 2 to flopped flush. Lost $500 over 4 hours

Tried a different venue today, only 1/2 available and youngest player was probably 65. Worst game I’ve seen ever and left up $9 after 40 min of anguish. Drove to my reg casino and game broke after 2.5 hours. +$50 and may have spent half in gas lol.

Questionable weather kept players away today. Lost $115, got up to 6 handed but game broke after 1.5 hours. πŸ‘Ž

Not to mention those stupid signs. They clearly don’t have the ability to understand what their base and the majority of Americans want. It’s really sad that their leadership is so poor with no direction.

Ya that hand is wild, 3 handed and eyes all over the place. Crazy no on saw/spoke up.

This is my general take as well. I’m almost indifferent on rail speaking up, I don’t know if I would speak up from the rail or not but I don’t have an issue with someone else doing so. The dealer on scenario 2 was angry at the rail - i found that interesting.

2nd question: cash game and 3 players table hands after River. No player or dealer notices pot is being pushed to losing hand and person on rail calls it out. Is this correct?

In heads up cash game all in. Hero missed flush/straight draw K high and tables hand, villain shows hero A high missed straight draw and slowly mucks. Should hero stop villain? Does answer change if it’s a reg you play with daily? Or just take the money and keep quiet?

+$450 today, 6 hour session and I didn’t win over $100 in any pot - just a grind. Been taking 2-3 hours, if not more, to get a full table. Feels like a slow death for viable day shift poker at my home casino. It will be a sad day when it happens. 😒

Short 3.5 hour session +$506. Had KK on KJ4β™ οΈŽβ™ οΈŽflop, 8β™ οΈŽ Turn and blank river. Got called every street by AxJβ™ οΈŽ for $400+ pot. AK held 5/7 times. Had KK three times, JJ twice and AA once. Didn’t get a lot of action on them but picked up several small pots.

Finished February up $3K which is a little less than January but played a few less hours and the hourly was pretty consistent. I think I’m still running above expectations. Played poorly a couple sessions and one of them I pretty much lit a buy in on fire. Need to close those leaks.

Played my first 1/2 NL sessions of the year Friday, picked up $275 early and then $770 in the evening. Oddly there were no memorable hands, just small pots over ~13 hours of play.

Mostly consistent with 1-2bb larger when out of position. Thoughts? Recommendations? I’m always looking to learn and expand my game.

About 5.5 hour session today and +$1k. Got lucky in a couple spots where I didn’t play the hands well but saved by the river and had KK hold up twice for decent pots.

Another day, another bad game. Thankfully I was recipient of the only big hand/pot of the day. I had Kβ™ οΈŽKβ™£οΈŽ in SB with a $6 BTN straddle. I make it $20 and get 4 callers. Flop QT6β™₯︎β™₯︎, I lead $50, MP goes all-in $150, CO hesitantly calls I jam $500 eff CO call. Turn 2β™ οΈŽ River 5β™£οΈŽ. I held vs AQ and A7β™₯︎β™₯︎.

May be time to transition to different casino or play afternoons/nights. Day game at my go to casino is drying up. Several days this year it hasn’t ran >3-4 hours. I play for flexibility and freedom more than trying to maximize $ but not getting enough hours in M-F day shift. Disappointing.

Do you have an opinion on why BS has not gained much traction from the poker community? Is it just not a large enough audience yet? Too many far right politically that they enjoy the content better on X? Revenue related?

Well, 8 hours later I finally got ahead. A big $22 winner! Tied my longest session of the year I believe and it was a struggle all day. Lost w/QQ and TT 3 times each in first 2 hours. Had to grind all day, happy to recover.

6 hours into the session and player on my left just had his 1st hand that he didn’t VPIP. Straddles $10-15 every hand he can and he forgot to for first time. Haven’t been able to catch him a single time all day….I’m still holding out hope.

Uneventful day on the felt. Short handed and with a $145 win I think I was the β€œbig” winner. Not much action and with snow storms this week it may be tough getting hours in.

We have a reg that does this multiple times a session. He is already a loud talker and he erupts at the end of a hand he wasn’t involved with pf. He used to do it during a hand but stopped after numerous tongue lashings. I very rarely remember what I fold pf.

This one was not, but there were only 2 skilled players and the rest were a mix of occasional players with just a basic strat/knowledge. I would assume the weekend nights are filled with loose/poor players but I didn’t play a single weekend game last year sadly.

After today’s shit show, to stay focused and play to my best ability each session. Get in moods where I just want to gamble with little respect for money. Technically, I need to 3b wider and call 3b tighter.

Just lit $500 on fire in an hour. Played like absolute dog shit. Gamble gamble and no poker. Woof

Made my first evening shift of poker last night after losing $500 during the day. Played pretty fast and loose and got the $500 back after a long 7 hours and two bullets. Was nice to play with randoms instead of the same day shift mugs.
