[Anthony Martino]

Nice, been awhile since we've had traffic this good. Shortly after I arrived they called a 4th table

We're on the 5/5/10 and 10/10/25 lists too

 

[Anthony Martino]

Little run good to start the session. We are dealt and limp

Short stack who lost most of his stack the previous hand makes it 20

Two callers, we pot to 100, shorty all-in and one caller who has 150 behind

Flop

I pot, he folds. All-in player wants to run twice

I make a third jack on the first board and hit a King on the 2nd board to crack his AAQ9

 

[Anthony Martino]

Very next hand we are dealt

Mr $150 left pots in the HJ, the CO makes it $105, we lay it down

They get it in on an flop

Original raiser has AAXX. Reraiser has 7643??? Turn 5, river 7 and the straight wins, we breathe a sigh of relief as the reraiser had 1k

 

[Anthony Martino]

We are SB with

We limp, 6 ways to a flop



BB bets pot of 30, two callers, we let it go
Guy shows down by the end, he runner-runners the heart flush

 

[Anthony Martino]

I can feel Poker Jeezus smiling down on me

Bunch of limpers, we pot to $40 on the rock in the HJ with

Multiple callers

Flop

We rip it in, two shorties call off, we go twice

Fill up on 1st board, 2nd board remain the nuts and we scoop

 

[Anthony Martino]

We were up $800. Slipped a bit with no hands won for awhile, still up $600 and game is good

 

[Anthony Martino]

Just won a nice pot, had and on a flop of we call a bet, three ways to a turn

First river
Second river

We scoop

 

[Anthony Martino]

Booked a solid +$854 on the session last night. Back at it later tonight, feels good to be back putting together some wins

 

[Anthony Martino]

Got a seat, dealt first hand and win a little bit when we turn nut flush against a set

 

[Anthony Martino]

On the transfer list, fish left and game is no action. Couple other tables running at least

 

[Anthony Martino]

We got the table transfer. Mr hems and haws and stacks off with KQQ5 three spades is on my right

 

[Anthony Martino]

We get unstuck with AAxx twice in early succession

Last hand dealt AAJJ no suits in the rock. UTG raises to 30, couple callers, we pot, raiser is all-in for $165 total

He has KJ4x and we scoop

 

[Anthony Martino]

Lol, just got dealt but flop was so had to give it up to a flop bet

Catching all the Aces today

 

[Anthony Martino]

Been card dead for a couple hours, only stuck $200 at least

 

[Anthony Martino]

We limp the button with

SB pots it, multiple callers

Flop

Checked to me, I pot for $150, only original raiser calls

Turn

He checks, my spidey senses are going off, I check behind

River

He bets $175

I think for a bit, eventually sigh-calling, he turns over



I'd rather a spade on the turn, figured him for nut spade draw, not the gutshot

 

[Anthony Martino]

Here's why flopping the nuts is dangerous in PLO

I have no redraws and I'm actually a slight dog to his hand

A lot of other players might've stacked off on the turn trying to protect against what looks like just the ace-high flush draw, but momma didn't raise no fool!

 

[Anthony Martino]

We were stuck $750, made a bit back, only stuck $500. Gonna keep grinding

 

[Anthony Martino]

Middle aged asian woman just sat down

Limp-called a raise holding

 

[Anthony Martino]

We limp-call a $20 raise with

Six ways and Flop is



BINGO BANGO BONGO VINCE!

There's a minute on the clock for high hand which is quad Kings

We check, original raiser pots for $120

We just call

Turn

We both check

River

We shove and he is all-in for maybe $70 left, we scoop plus get our hand on the board. Need to hold for 30 minutes, and it's only $300, but hopefully we get it!

 

[Anthony Martino]

Only stuck $200 now, gotta sweat 17 minutes on the high hand

 

[Anthony Martino]

We limp from the SB after a bunch of limpers

The rock who just doubled pots to 35, multiple callers, we call

Flop

We check, he pots for $175 with about $150 behind

Folds to us. I don't put him on a set here, most likely Aces with nfd

Since we block his Ace and don't block the flushes, I rip it with what I believe is the best hand

He calls off but only runs once

Turn ugh

River double ugh

He shows

 

[Anthony Martino]

Le sigh, as we're looking up the odds we hear HIGH HAND called out with 7 minutes left on the clock, it's a straight flush to the 10 knocking our high hand off the board

 

[Anthony Martino]

Guy on my left just raised

 

[Anthony Martino]

We limp pot over the maniac on my lefts raise to $45, we're all-in for $205

THREE CALLERS

We have

Flop

Lady shoves and gets called, I'm up against

T977 no suits
8544 one suit

Both called the $45 raise and my limp reraise

I make my straight but it's no good

She loses first board when 8544 hits quads, but her full holds 2nd board and they chop me up

Stuck 1k but game is good

 

[Anthony Martino]

Maniacs kept raising to between 25-40 each hand

I limp repotted double suited rundowns twice and lost both times to a fish who limped, called the initial raise and then my limp repot

He had J942 and I flopped fd and straight draw, he went runner-runner to make a wheel

Next hand he called with J962 and flopped 922 lol

Lost 1600, taking it in
