I think he thinks they will just play even worse in that game.

 

[WedgeRock]

Shit, if I could monetize sleeping I'd do that too, lol!

That's creepy enough that I'm sure someone will pay for it... You may hafta wear a diaper and sleep in a crib, tho.

 

[Anthony Martino]

Damn cooler hand
Still crawled back back to -$150 so that is ok (i lose more in my quarters game)
And you tilted someone...bonus

5 PLO high your strong suit ?

I didn't tilt the guy, losing his stack yilted him

We are 7 handed in that room and playing 5 card generates more action

Large inlay RHC mixed with ceramic? Is there anything small rooms won't do? Is fired modeling clay next?

Cash plays!

Little early a.m. poker for breakfast

 

[Anthony Martino]

Dodged a bullet. Had but was facing a pot and repot pre so let it go

Both guys get it in and go once

Flop JJ8 and I'm kicking myself, but A on turn and one of them had AAxx phew!

 

[Anthony Martino]

So played the 1/2 PLO which was short-handed at 5 players, managed to get a seat in the 2/5/10 PLO before that game broke, there were two tables of 2/5/10. But unfortunately I was seated at the table with less action. I got on the transfer list but there was another guy ahead of me and my table was shorter than the other game so a transfer didn't look like it was going to happen soon.

Wound up taking a $315 win for the session and calling it a day. Back at it for the Friday into Saturday late night session tonight.

I haven't been to the casino in a loooooong time. But every time I've gone, I don't have a set leave time. I feel like I could sit there until 1.) I fall asleep, 2.) I win all the monies, or 3.) I lose all the monies.

Do you keep a schedule (even a rough schedule... leave by XX time) or are your visits open-ended. If your visits are open-ended, when factors into your decision to leave.

Sorry, I know this isn't the AMA thread.

Questions are perfectly fine here

In my old schedule I tried to set a window of play, so my wife would know I'm leaving by 8pm or 10pm

That way we could go to bed together

Now we go to bed together at 7pm, set my alarm for 1am and get up to hit the casino early a.m.

I may only play a few hours, or I may play a full 8-10 hours.

Depends on how good or bad the games are, how I feel, how much I'm up or down, etc.

As a for instance, I'm back to my 3k/day loss limit. The other day in the 2/5/10 I bought in for 1500 and ran it up to 4500 within 2 hours

The game was still good and I had the biggest stack, but there were some dangerous players (real gamblers) sitting with 1800-2500 each.

I knew if I doubled one of them up I would feel pretty shitty about blowing a 3k profit and leaving with only 500 profit, so opted to leave and lock it up.

 

[WedgeRock]

To clarify, you mean up or down at the table, not at 7:00 p.m., correct?

 

[Anthony Martino]

Yes, how much at the table. I still play my normally scheduled sessions regardless of where I am at for the month

I try not to carry my previous sessions into my current ones, but look at them as a clean slate

Otherwise you will focus too much on "oh, I'm down $800 last session so I gotta get that back" or "I'm up 6k on the month so I can afford to play reckless today" , etc

 

[Anthony Martino]

Waiting on my seat at 2am. Tried to call in 4 times to get on the list but nobody would pick up

 

[Anthony Martino]

Oh yeah, forgot to share my character pic for USAnumberWON, the youtube and hopefully streaming character

MURICAAAAA!!!!

 

[Anthony Martino]

Finally got our seat

 

[Anthony Martino]

Stacking early. Smooth called a raise with AAxx and flop 774, guy bets, I call on button

Turn Ace, he bets, I call

River 4, he bets, I pot. He shows a 7 and eventually folds

 

[Anthony Martino]

WHEEE!

 

[Anthony Martino]

Hit a bit of a cooler. Maniac at the table raised blind to 40 on the button (he was first to act after the rock)

Everyone calls including me in the BB with



Flop is and I lead right out for 125, he is the only caller

Turn

We both check

River

I check-call his 300 bet expecting him to bet missed flush and straight draws and possibly an 8 with a weaker kicker

He rolls over AKQ8 for the flopped house

Was up around a grand, but had to settle for +$500 on the day

A player left and we dropped to 5 handed with no list, decided to rack up

Good game Anthony, too bad about the cooler hand (there always have to be one of those)...enjoy the weekend

Well, to be fair, earlier the maniac raised pre with xxx7 and I cslled on the button with AAxx. Flop was 774 and I was the only one who called his bet, and hit my 2 outer Ace on the turn and he bet into me on the turn and river, so sometimes I can get lucky too

 

[WedgeRock]

Pretty sure you were 50/50 in all the above situations.

+$500 is a good session. Nice work.

 

[FDLmold]

Got to love not bringing a purple to the table yet walking away with one.

Every hand I play is 50/50. I either win...or I lose

I like the pumpkins even more when I can win em

Hard to find a pumpkin patch in a 1/2 game. Need to move deeper into the forest.

I was playing the 2/5 PLO with a $10 rock. Buyins are 200-2K and purple and pumpkin chips are a common sight

 

[FDLmold]

I play micro stakes with max loss per hand. So I buy in for like $100, but I am the only one with $5 chips in front of me. Players spend all night trying to get one from me, like a badge of honor. I'd be gunning for the purple and pumpkins in that game, no doubt.

 

[Anthony Martino]

Playing earlier start tonight, in for $500 max at 1/2 PLO and 5th on the list for 2/5/10
