I look through the steering wheel when I drive too

Left +$700

After being moved from table 2 to the main game I was dealing with crazies in seat 2 and 6 who were (not cuban) and straddling and raising a lot preflop. Just two guys willing to gamble it up like nuts and both had deep stacks and weren't afraid to put them in.

With $1,700 in front of me I decided I didn't really want to be giving up my edge by getting involved in these monster pots preflop constantly, and decided to get off the variance train and lock up a solid session.

Goldurnit!

Tonight Silks Poker Room had a $7,500 guaranteed PLO tourney and as soon as I arrive I find out they had to close the whole place due to a water main break, whomp whomp. I was going to molly whomp those fools!

 

[Anthony Martino]

Silks is saying they will reschedule the PLO tournament, I still think it'll have an overlay. Don't think their traffic levels will hit the $7,500 guarantee, but we'll see

 

[moose]

Lol, already doubled up, dealt on the button

MP raises to 15, hj and co call, we pot to 85, they ALL call

Flop

MP checks, HJ shoves, CO folds, we reshove. He has A5xx

Whines about a 1-outer and says "you're the best sir" to me, in his snarkiest hold em tournament monkey voice, lol

Now that you are surrounded by plexiglass, do you literally ever just rap the glass a couple times and respond "Don't tap the glass, sir" ?

I'd be more likely to do a pressed fruit bowl.

Back at it

 

[Anthony Martino]

Turned a wrap, got it in, binked it

 

[Anthony Martino]

Limp repotted AKK2 suited, got action

 

[Anthony Martino]

With 2:51 left on the clock lady at our table flopped quad Kings with a 4 kicker, potted flop and locked in her high hand to bump quad Queens off the board (if she turns or rivers a bigger kicker her high hand gets fouled)

Her quads held up and she won $1,000

wait, omaha qualifies for the high hand bonus? or is it just omaha, how many tables and how often do they pay?

 

[Anthony Martino]

Only 1/2 PLO is eligible

High hands every 30 minutes

We have to flop it in PLO and if the turn or river improves our hand we are fouled

 

[Anthony Martino]

We have in a multiway raised pot and see a flop of

We pot, FOUR callers lol

Turn

Checked to guy on my left who pots, two all-ins for less we repot

River

We win side pot with 2nd nuts but guy on our right had and wins the main, so we break even, almost busted 3 guys

 

[Anthony Martino]

We have on button facing $5 straddle by CO

We call, bunch of callers, flop



Solid lady who won the 1k high hand (but hasn't been paid yet) bets 20, CO calls, we pot to $115, she calls with $146 behind

Turn

She does the "shrug, guess I'm all in" move and we know she's got QJ but figure we are getting enough odds to call

River a blank and she has AQJT for the flopped wrap, whomp whomp

 

[Poker Zombie]

They let you play out of a rack?

No, max at 1/2 PLO is $500 so couldn't put it all in play

Must be Cuban

 

[Anthony Martino]

We have on the button on a flop of

Checked to us, we pot, THREE callers

Turn

Checked to us, with the 8 blockers and backup flush draw we opt to pot again

New player at table calls half his stack OOP

River

He shoves, we sigh-call but he has an 8-high flush draw he hit

We bust the fish and unfortunately he leaves

 

[Anthony Martino]

We were up to $1,100 then bled for HOURS, almost back to the $500 we started with, but have rebuilt including winning a nice 4 way all-in

 

[Anthony Martino]

Fish two to my left won a decent sized multi-way all-in and he's stacked up, plus the guy on my immediate left is also LAG. Given my stack size and the craziness from these two (plus was getting tired) I opted to cash out +$800 on the session.

So far only had one losing session all month, been in the green all other sessions. It's good to be a Jew on Christmas!
