MGM Springfield... Bought in at the cage for $700 and cashed out at $1,223. Not a giant score. but any winning session is a plus.

I am not a big fan of their RHC chips, which to me strangely feel lighter than RHCs at some other casinos.

But in a positive development, MGM replaced the red felt they previously were using with a drab medium gray which isn’t pretty but the shade does not overlap with the colors of any chips, unlike that previous red.

Finally! Whoever thought of the red was definitely not a player.

Following this up with a bad beat story :-(

$2/$5 NLH. All money goes in the middle 3-way on the flop. We have middle set up against bottom set and flush draw. Lose heaps to rivered Quads. Literally a $2600pot. Overall a bad night at TheKhoiPond. In for $2k, out for $600. Variance right.....?

Hope you find solace in the fact that those chipes are pretty baller. :cool
 
Playing $2/5 at the Borgata. Been kinda card dead all weekend so I just keep topping off and bleeding money. Don't remember airballing so many flops in my life.

Also, for the old men.

Looking at this makes me sad to have been out of the game during the BW buy. Might've been the biggest buy I've ever done.

The chips are good looking too.

Personally they look nice, but play like shit. I hate that they seem magnetic. I understand that some people love them, but BJ are just a miss for me.

FWIW, this was a peculiar (very long) session where I felt like a nomad. Started out deep ($500) at 1/2, and went up a bit before running into multiple fish chasing their 1-4 outers and catching.

Moved up to 2/5, more of the same, up and down, the downs mostly losing hands where I was a solid favorite.

A friend arrived and I moved yet again at his suggestion to $5/$5 PLO. Made a little money there, but I hadn't brought enough to really play that game—most of the table was bought in for 2K—and I have a personal rule not to ever hit the cash machine at a casino.

Took a dinner break, then had to wait about 40 minutes before rolling off any of the lists I’d signed up for (1/2 NLHE, 2/5 NLHE, 2/2 PLO). Finally got back on a 1/2 table, where I made a couple hundred quickly then couldn’t improve my stack.

The table broke after about two hours, and I was moved to another 1/2 table which proved to be the Promised Land... I was not just making decent hands, but getting paid off big by much worse (e.g., made a 10-high flush that I bet only maybe 1/3 pot on the river, thinking I was likely beat by a better flush, and got called by two straights, two pair and top pair/bad kicker). An hour at this table made up for about 10 hours of up-and-down struggle.

Note: All the cash tables at MGM Springfield play up to 10-handed, and for most of the night these were full, which I really don’t care for. I already believe 9 is too many for poker, and that the game is best played 7-8 handed.
