Is he a painter? Ask him if he is a painter. Maybe he can do pinstripes on the “Firebird.”

Well, Anthony is short and hates Cubans. His mustang has three wheels and he loves America.

 

[Anthony Martino]

Won a decent pot with top two on flop, idiot end of straight on river

What game and what stakes are you playing?

What game and what stakes are you playing?

Right now 2/2 PLO with a $5 rock

Induced an action player to bluff $200 on the river with a straight blocker when I had turned 2nd nuts, picked him off

In for 1k, out for $2,131

Lesson 1: hold up on the river or u lose

I don’t mean this to denigrate your game… but maybe the lower stakes with a higher percent of droolers is better for you. Doubling up a $1k buyin would be nice if done consistently.

Nice win tonight. I hope that you can turn the tides of fortune.

English only at the table sir!

September my biggest losses were 10/10/25 and 5/5/10

Oct and Nov a lot of my bigger losses were 2/2/5

You have to remember these are the guys calling off with shitty kings vs my limp repot with Aces and finding miracles

Tonight I just happened to run mostly pure

 

[grebe]

Who's wearing those gross gloves?

I'd change tables immediately.

Ah you think river is your ally? You merely adopted the river. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the waves until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but a sprinkle

You forgot vertically challenged male stripper.

No, I said he hates Cubans. So... Like....it works.

 

[Anthony Martino]

Back in those mean streets

 

[Anthony Martino]

Lots of guys stradling to 20, making it 100 after, etc

We go multiway in a straddled pot with from the blinds

Flop is

We bet pot of 125, somehow get THREE callers???

Turn

I check, next guy bets 200, two callers, I call

River

Checked around to last guy who bets 400, I call, one fold, other guy hems and haws, then calls

Bettor announces flush and I reveal my boat

 

[Anthony Martino]

Up over 2k in profit early, three super fish in the game

 

[Anthony Martino]

What's better than a pumpkin? TWO pumpkins!

Go home.

 

[Anthony Martino]

Booked a win of $2,664. The pro in the game stacked two of the weaker players (he got it in with top and bottom pair and a bad flush draw, filled up on both boards running twice) and these guys were regularly straddling to 20, 40 and 80.

Decided not to ride the variance train.

REALLY needed two back-to-back solid sessions and got em, feels great to be moving in the right direction

With Thanksgiving on Thursday decided to give a Monday session at Luckys a chance

We were stuck 100 but up a small amount now

 

[Anthony Martino]

The game was uncharacteristically tight, I won $225 and called it a day

The game was uncharacteristically tight, I won $225 and called it a day

While on the face that may seem like a slim victory, $225 for a day's work is equal to a $58,000 salary.

Work less than 3 hours, back at home with the wife, no rush-hour traffic, and no boss telling you to complete two diametrically opposed tasks for $58,000 a year?

Just have to deal with cheating Cubans, moronic poker room managers, bad beats, and the constant reminder of impromptu stages being built in the parking lot for you to perform on when things go south!
