Some 5/5 Big O today

 

[Legend5555]

So the first time in played Big O seriously was in a dealer's choice game. .25/.50, $100 deep. I had something like A23K7 double suited. We go like 5 ways to the flop for a raise from the BB. Flop is 45Q with two of my nut suit. Raiser pots, I repot, folds back to him, he jams, I call. And he has naked top set no low draw no flush blockers. I scoop.

For me, I miss everything and it goes the other way typically.

This week got a few change-ups planned. Still doing Lucky's Monday game, the private game Tuesday, off Wednesday.

Thursday I'm celebrating 15 years of marriage so have plans with Jenn.

The Friday Big O game in Oxford has proven to be not as great as I was told. It's actually been pretty tight after trying it out for the past 3 weeks. Instead of driving almost an hour and a half one-way, I think I'll give Hard Rock Tampa a shot again and see if those games have improved on Friday/Saturday.

Also been working on stretches for the sciatic pain and got my ass back to the gym this past week, moving definitely helps a ton with it. Some days I barely have any issues, other days it's a bear. But hopefully getting back into a regular workout regimen will help.

Keeping it growing

Is that Cuban money?

 

[Anthony Martino]

Is that Cuban money?

Some of it. Cubans were getting destroyed most of the game, but then mounted a comeback and have chips again

In for $500 out for $1,150

Seat 1 (Cuban) got me for a little on a 373 two diamond flop in a straddled pot

I had QQJ7 with diamonds in the SB, he had 2456 no diamonds, called my pot bet on the flop chasing his straight on a paired and flushing board.

Rivered a straight, dodging my full house and flush draw outs lol

 

[Anthony Martino]

Since the big O game has been meh, back in Tampa for some 4 card PLO today

 

[Anthony Martino]

I find it so tilting that they have 5 different denominations on the table (big ones are ok). $1s AND $2s AND $5s? I though they stopped doing that a while back?

I would love to do away with the $2 chips too

I kinda like the $2 chips in 1/2 games. But if im honest they seem kinda dumb unless its a limit game. I played at BestBet and they only used the $2 chips for drop and it didn't bother me so I could go either way.

found out BestBet Jacksonville does a livestream and has 25/50 PLO

I created an interest thread since I would need to sell some action to play it

[Anthony Martino]

Busted the biggest fish at the table, she rebought

Got her for heaps with a turned set of Queens when she called with a gutshot and blasted $200 into me on the river with bottom two pair

Then had AJJT suited on an AJ9 flop and she had QQJ6 and kept calling all streets pot sized bets lol

 

[BarrieJ3]

So you’re prettily regularly taking pics on your phone and doing write ups at the table or on breaks?

Question being, what’s your cell time look like compared to the other players? Do you stick out a little bit or is everyone just play/cell/play/cell/play/cell?

How many folks are aware of you running a “follow along” thread of the games?

 

[Bill_Man618]

Wow thats a pretty quick double! Hopefully this fish sticks around man! Iv'e been following this thread for a while and your really living the dream man. Pick your own hours and do something you love for a living.
