  1. Todays game turned into $5/10 w $25 bb ante, so I’m in the nosebleeds again. GREAT table other than having Hunter on my immediate left
  2. Bell hops at every resort are happy to do this, even if you’re not staying there. I’ve coasted without a hotel room for 36 hours on several trips and used this to pull it off.
  3. What are the temperature ranges inside the cabin?
  4. Playing tonight’s Bestbet $2/5 stream starting at 5 CST, and tomorrow’s $2/5 w $25 BB ante starting at 3 CST. These games have been very good the last 6 weeks or so, usually w auto-straddle and $25-50 bomb pots on dealer change. Could use a few good sessions ahead of my Vegas trip on Monday https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCftawe1WZqxRfJGNsojGkSQ
  5. I fold. It bothered me so much that I left on dealer change, though still with a hefty profit. Probably the longest river tank I’ve had in years. His cbet size was consistent with other hands I’d seen earlier on the table, so that was almost a snap call. I possibly could have raised, but didn’t give that option much weight. I expected a check from him on turn, before it came out. Turn was confusing. Most players slow down here, even with strong hands. I still called fairly quickly. I could definitely still be holding a queen. Which makes the river even more difficult. Seems like he’d check call with his entire range other than those with a queen. Ie it’s either the nuts or a bluff. But let’s be honest here… the real dollar amount of the bet got to me. I’m not super comfortable calling off $1600 when it’s not super obvious I’m likely good. Ultimately that’s what bothered me most, and why I had to leave the table. Don’t half ass your trips to the nose bleeds.
  6. Long waitlist for $2/5, so I decided to sit at a short handed $5/10 game for a bit. I put down $1200 and then they tell me it’s auto straddle to $25. Not great but I give it a go. Within an hour I run it up to $4800! 7 handed. Folds to me and I open CO to $75 w JdJh. SB (young Asian dude, $7k) makes it $350. Others fold. I call. $735 pot. QhQd7s. He makes is $225 and I call. $1185 pot. 7c. He bets $600. I call. $2385 pot. 5s. He bets $1600. So $1600 to win $4k. He’s played a lot of hands. He leans aggressive but isn’t a maniac that I’ve seen. I’ve shown myself to be solid and not scared money, though an admittedly small sample size so I doubt he has any clear read of me. What do you do?
  7. I want to thank you for putting my $300 electric/water bill this month into perspective
  8. Before he became Ill, The Amazing Johnathan was my go to comedy show in Vegas. He absolutely slayed me every time. What I liked about the experience (other than him) was he always did small venues around Vegas. The close quarters and crowd interaction just make for a different show. I’d be looking around for performers in the smaller casino theaters
  9. Playing $5/5 PLO and this dude next to me (25ish shark) is also play BigO on BOTH his phone and iPad, while running over our game
  10. Yep. Cost of doing business imo
  11. I’m guessing he wants fewer guns in the “street”
  12. My point is you’re unlikely to get value on many rivers, whereas a lot of players will make a -ev call vs a “reasonably priced”CR on the turn in order to chase *something*. They’ll probably fold to a subsequent river bet, so at least you got a bit more value from the hand on the turn
  13. The point of the check raise on turn is to get more value here than we’ll get with a check on the river which will frequently be checked back
  14. I’m 4betting pre A LOT in this specific situation. As played, I’m never leading but I am check raising if his turn bet is 1/3rd pot or less If he checks behind on turn, I’m clearly leading on the river in most cases but would be cautious about completed flush and straight draws that would check the turn
  15. I just came to meet Brad, but I did bring a few grand to light on fire while I’m here
  16. I’m jealous. Looks like a great room and now you have these guys pulling in soft action. Get while the gettin’s good, gentlemen
  17. $6k PLO pot from last night. This was $1k bullet #3 which I had run up to $3k Any hesitation on jamming here?
  18. Currently on my 4th $1k buyin, which I’ve run up to $6500
  19. Playing $5/5 PLO on todays stream. Great game so far.
  20. 12 episodes. Production began this month, due to be released this summer. Apparently it was always planned to be a 3 season arch, so this may wrap it up
  21. $50 double board PLO bomb pot 7 players, so $350 pot going to the flop: AxAs4s 439 rainbow Checks to me in UTG. I check with AJTT rainbow. Checks to BTN who pots it. Though I only have the 4th nuts on top, the others (44, AK, AQ) are unlikely due to blockers. I’ve got nothing on the bottom, but let’s see another card! HJ joins us. $1400 pot. 6x up top and 8x below now has the board as: AxAs4s6x 4398r Nothing changes on top for me, but bottom gives me an open ended straight draw. Checks to BTN who again pots it. I didn’t come this far to fold. I jam $2200. HJ folds. BTN calls. $5800 pot. Red 7s on both boards leaves us with: AxAs4s6x7x 43987r BTN shows Ax8x8s5s. On top, he also had trip Aces but with weaker kicker, and a flush draw. On bottom, he had a gutter on flop, turned a set and failed to improve on river, while I hit my open ender. SCOOP a massive pot! Net +$3200 is probably in top 3 profit hands for me ever
  22. I’ve not done the math, but this is approximately the 300th week in a row this statement has proven accurate.
