Arabica is much better than robusto. Also don't forget my cut - remember I staked you ten bucks at Tom's place in Atlanta one time, so I'm pretty sure you owe me a couple grand by now.

Damn, the golden goose laid its last egg, he lost a massive 3 way all-in after flopping top 2 against middle set. Cost him 2k, he racked up and left before we could get the rest

Had KQT8 on a K97 rainbow flop, got called by AQT7
Turn Jack, we get it in and go twice
He hits one of the 2 remaining 10's on one board to make broadway and I get 3-quartered for my stack
Then I limp repot AAK9 ds on the button, two callers
Flop A92, I shove and K654 calls, we go twice, he gutshots immediately on the first board, spiking the 3 do we chop instead of me doubling
At least they're TRYING to give me their $$$ lol, good grief

Lol, he called $280 preflop and check-called my $460 shove on the flop with 18% equity
I should be a poker billionaire by now
What's even funnier is all night he's been chiding other players for their terrible calls
After we chopped I was jovial and congratulated him, he said he "knew" he was going to hit it

played for TWELVE hours, a marathon session for me by any means.
The 1/2 PLO I made a couple hundred bucks. The first 2/5/10 table was just ok.
But by god that 2nd table I transferred to was full of absolute droolers. Unfortunately I didn't run well enough to post a profit, but by god they tried to throw me money when I had hands
Got a little unluck with KQTT on a J96 rainbow flop, raised a bettor who just called. Turn a 4, we both check. River J and we check it down, he has J663 le sigh

I was shocked too. It was the same guy who called my limp repot with K654 earlier
He said he was worried on the flop I had a set of 9's since I raised him and he had a blocker to top ser. So maybe he expected me to bet the river when it paired with 9's full
Fucking what? He flopped a set and didn't bet that brick of a turn? For me to say thats nitty you know that he's playing tight. I'd continue to actively seek out that player. You'll make money off of him. Next time

He bet the flop, I raised him. He has bottom set and a blocker to top set, so feared I had flopped middle set
Bottom set in this game can be a real money burner

Oh ok I misunderstood. I thought you were first to act here.
But he made Jacks full of 6s, right? So he checks the river in fear of what? Doesn’t he have the nuts?
Or was he trying to trap you in the river?
Maybe he was hoping to check raise if Anthony bet the river?

If he believes I had a set of 9's I think he was planning to checkraise the river, expecting me to bet 9's full

J9 (for jacks full of nines) would be the nuts.
I can't give him that much credit.

Little morning PLO at TGT
You may have answered this already somewhere, and if so apologies for re-hashing, but I'd be curious to know what your "work week" looks like? (How many days a week do you play, what kind of hours do you put in and when (daytime, late night, night shift)).

It's been fluctuating with covid, as some of my old hours aren't as profitable
Right now it looks like this
Mon: 10am - 4pm
Tues: off
Wed: off (but trying to get a regular 7pm - 2am game running at a rooom closest to me)
Thurs: 9pm - fri a.m.
Fri: bed at 7pm. Wake up 1am sat morning to head in
Sat: bed at 7pm, wake up 1am sun morning to head in
Sun: off
I will play anywhere from 2 hrs to 8 hrs usually, sometimes 10-12 hrs but those are more rare
30-40 hrs/ week generally

lol, one of the droolers check called my flop pot bet OOP as a loser, then led into me on the turn and stacked off as an even bigger loser, then went 1 time and binked his river miracle Ace

The 1/2 PLO at TGT with mandatory $5 button straddle and unlimited restraddles
These guys are massive degenerate gamblers so pots will get restraddled up to $80 preflop sometimes, just gotta be comfortable riding the variance train
I could play later, but usually leave to have supper with Jenn

To be fair, a 9 would've got him there too.
And maybe he also though he had a diamond draw?

Open ended and third pair? Maybe you're playing a little too snug...
And no flush blockers
