From last weekend playing 1/2NL at Orange City. I wish I could say it looked this good when I cashed out...
It was a roller coaster session. After only 30 minutes I was $500 into the game and stuck $300 mainly thanks to two big hands: KK<23o (that's not a typo, 445Q6, called til he got there) and AJhh < 89cc (J7xhh flop, T turn, no heart on the river).
I spent the next 1.5 hours grinding back up to a tiny profit (above), then the next 2.5 hours giving back $200 in a combination of mostly run bad and a little play bad, specifically one FPS hand where I bluff-raised the river against a guy with TP who had no freaking clue what a river raise means. I'm still kicking myself for that one.
It's 1/2 ya moran!
Dribbled away a few more bucks here and there, then finally lost most of my stack against a newer player who flopped a set of tens vs. my AA on a flushy flop. He led the flop and 3-bet all in, and I thought about folding but couldn't given how wet the board was (JTxhh IIRC).
Now the fun part of the story: After that last hand, I had $25 and no intent to rebuy. So behind a couple of limpers, I shoved dark. Everybody else folded and the limpers both called. Flop 766, turn A, river Q. The live players showed down for the side pot, then I tabled my hand (which I still hadn't looked at). Pocket sixes - I'd flopped quads.
The high hand jackpot was a rollover, so I was on the board for two sets of VIP box seats for an Orlando Magic game. I'm not much of a basketball fan, but the packages retailed for $600 each, and I could easily resell them for $400-450 each. I sat around until the time elapsed, then waited for them to certify. Thirty seconds before that happened, quad queens hit the board and I went home empty handed.
Sucks that I missed the HHJ, but flopping quads after shoving dark was definitely the highlight of the evening.
