In for $150, out for $700 in 65 mins. Had to leave early, wife needed help with the baby

Just another typical night of .25/.50 at Truman's house.

 

[Psypher1000]

I like my odds.

Finished 3rd and made some of my buy-in back. Tournament raised $360 for the kids! We'll do it again in November.

Just got back from Ho Chunk (last minute outing with highlander3). Starting and near ending stacks. Nothing to be super (buying a new car) crazy proud of, but a win is a win. In for $220, out for $670. . I'll take it.

In for $1700 at 25/50c mixed pot limit games. Out for $2120.

Buddy wanted to be a baller and bought in to our $0.50-$1.00 game for $250.... quickly became $1-$2. I stacked him and just about everyone else tonight haha. THE RUN GOOD CONTINUES!!! In for $200 (he bought in for so much everyone broke out their cash) out for $570! Always a good night when you can bust out the $20 Dunes!

I find the thought of $250 being a baller buy in at .50/1, and the thoughts of playing such short stacks at 1/2 to be so foreign now that I'm so accustom to playing super deep with the NE crowd.

Another good cash session at NOK 10/20/40 RoE, in for about $500 and out for about $1700.

 

[RiverAce01]

In Atlantic City for work so decided to play a 2.5 hour session at Borgata. Have been running so bad lately and a few times recently I've played dumb. Haven't booked a winning session in months. Took it way back to basics and played 2/4 limit.

Up the whole time...dropped a bit towards the end on some beats then came back up after some big (for limit) pots. In for $100 our for $105. It's minimal but hey it's a winning session.

Thinking about sticking with Limit Holdem for awhile just to get back into feeling good sitting at a table and not being in my head

Nothing brings me more joy than someone happy to post a $5 profit.

Any time you finish even, you've had a good session. If you need to be up $500, you're going to work.

 

[AK Chip]

These B&G chips are quite cool. In Manila now. In for 5000 out 22000

Casino kinda frowns on people taking pics so I only took these.

If anybody wants a sample chip I can try and grab one.

How were those $100 chips? I just bought a set of that style chip and I m very curious how they are.

Considering how I've been running the last few months... $5 profit is more than enough for me to be happy about the session. I finally was able to win hands both for real and with bluffs and never really felt card dead. That hasn't happened since about...November

I liked the look and the feel was very good quality wise - much more than ceramic chips that I've handled. Stacked very well and They shuffled really well but on some of the slightly dirty chips they had a tendency to stick when I was counting out bets. Overall if I could get my hands on a set I definitely would. And the oversized chips were awesome.

These look like the same manufacturer made the chips.

Top picture was from right before the second break and I wasn't even chip leader. Second is from about 2 or 3 hands from the end. Took first

Circuit Event or just a home game using the chips?

I feel like these photos of people quadrupling up in 2 hours should be combined with some stories about bringing $1K in and busting in two hours. Like, we should balance the stories about wins with remembering the losses.

I'm interested to know people's win-rates over time. I like the thread, just want a fuller picture of people's poker experiences!

 

[guinness]

Getting pumped for Las Vegas next month. Going through pics of last years trip to get JACKED.

I don't know how alot of guys have these sessions where they go from 200 to 1400 in 3 hours. I want in on those games. Most I've ever done is just under $100 profit in about 2 hours of play

There are a few key factors for it to happen:
1. You need to have enough money on the table that if you end up in a train wreck hand or two that you can win a $1,000+ pot

2. A few other players at the table need to also have a lot of money on the table.

3. People willing to gamble it up with those big stack.

4. A loose enough table image that someone will pay you off with lesser holdings than normal for a huge pot.

5. Plenty of re-buy money!!!

And if you find ones of these games fasten your seat belt and hold on tight! (And invite me!)

True on all of those. I've never gone beyond 1/2 NL so you don't really see swings like that at such low stakes. I'll never have the bankroll to see those tables where guys can jump up 1400 in a few hands

Bay 101 Daily Tournament. $125 buyin. Took first after chopping for $1615 including voucher to Bay101 Summer Open.

It happens at $1/2 as well in the right setting. I mostly play $1/2, $1/3 $300 to $500 max buyin games and have had many $1,000+ nights. Of course most of those games play more like $2/5 than $1/2.

Many home games that have limited hours and guys that are jonesing to play creates a crazy game!

Ive seen swings of almost $10k in a single 1/2 session, and over $5k in a .25/.50 session. These were not my swings, but I was in the game.

I've gone +/- $1500 in a .25/.50 game and +/- $2k at 1/2. And I'm a nit compared to the regs I play with.

Yeah, but all those dudes are nuts. I don't mean they HAVE the nuts. I've played with some, and they're crazy...

Side note - Whenever the discussion about poker nicknames comes up, I invariably tell the story of yours...

Haven't posted in this thread in a while (I don't think?), so these are the recent shots in my camera roll.

I remember playing with you at krafty's, and you fit right in with the guys who were nuts. You had no fear and moved a lot of chips around.

As nuts as some of the PCFers are that I play with regularly, some of these huge swings have been in public card rooms. I watched a total fish on a heater go +$8k in 2 hours at 1/2. And $2k of it was mine. Sometimes you just gotta buckle in and ride.

 

[Kain8]

Couldn't take a pic at the table due to an ornery floor manager. In for $300, out with $706. Night well spent!
