I think it has to be one of the softest games on the planet. Most good pleasers even those who are crazy good won’t run good enough to be up 4+ buyins every night. In order for this to happen consistently you need to have some terrible players in the mix that basically donate. At least that’s the case for every game I’ve played in where I can win consistently 95% of the time even if I run bad.

Hero is lucky. Real lucky.
 
I can't decide if you're a really good player or this is the softest game on earth. No offense at all, but you seem to absolutely kill it every time you go to this game lol
I more curious why they keep inviting the same guy who keep winning big everytime, it seem to me either losing few hundreds every session is peanut to them or they just not very smart maybe that why they keep losing non stop
 
The table is ugly, but it has a rich history dating back 50 years. The host, Dave, who is in his fifties, played $5/$10 limit HE and 7CS on that table fresh out of high school at Elton's. Elton passed away in 08. His son bequeathed Dave the table in 2010. Two players, along with the host, have been playing together for 35 years. That table is a living memory of all those who have played on it.

Five weeks ago, one of the regulars was absent. We learned from his brother, also a regular, that he had been diagnosed with leukemia. The following week we inquired about his well being. His brother said he was in the hospital, but he did not have a chance to stop by and check on his condition due to his work schedule.

Upon hearing the news, the player to the brother's left opened up his wallet, pulled out a hundred dollar bill, and placed it on the table in front of him. Every player followed suit, in order. Two months in, I am the new guy. Thankfully, there were six or seven players before me, which gave me time to check my emotions. I too, took out a hundred and slid it in front of the brother. 10 of us at the table. All nine of us gave him $100.

Five days later I get a phone call from Dave at or around 10PM informing me that he had succumbed to leukemia. His brother attended that week's game, telling us the doctor had sent his brother home instructing him to get his estate in order. He left behind twin 19 year old boys. Yes, that table may be an eyesore, but it is not going anywhere, not in these players lifetimes.
 
Final pictures from last night's $1/$2 NLHE game.

Game broke at twenty minutes to midnight. Three players wanted to continue playing against Hero. Hero, being the good sport, obliged. Hero added another $250 to his stack by 1AM. In for $250, out for $2010.

Hero's success can be easily explained and duplicated by adhering to the following:

1) Never lose a hand. If you happen to lose a hand, lose the minimum.

2) Only bluff when you know it will get through.

3) Most importantly, recognize NLHE is a game of edges, therefore, be kind to yourself and respectful towards others.
 
I will add that the Shuffletech is running like a dream just out of the picture to the right - it has hugely improved the quality of our game. Lets hope it holds up!
