After an incredible run over a couple of weeks I'm back to reality.
Horrible nights Monday and Tuesday made me take a week off. Headed back to Palms last night.
Got there around 6:30 and big O hadn't started up so I sat down at 4 card PLO. Sat with $300 and won a few hands and was around $450 when I got AAJ5 double suited. Early position raises, call, call, guy to my right thinks for a bit. While he's doing this I'm trying to figure out if I pot or bet $50 and he pots for $90. I call as do 4 others.
Flop is JT5. Pre flop potter jams for the rest of his stack, I call and two others call. The ask to run twice so we do.
Top board goes 55 for quads. Bottom 77. Guy across from me says "I don't have shit" and starts to muck, other two players muck, dreams of $1500 coming my way, then he throws his cards down face up and shows 89, "Oh I got a strait on the bottom"
Well fuck me, but at least I won several hundred.
Head over to big O. Can't win shit but finally get AA238 which is a premier hand. Pot pre folp to $15, get 4 callers. Flop A4Q, 2 diamonds. Cha ching ! Set and nut low draw. Pot and get repotted. Turn 8d and we get it all in, he flips over 2d3d for nut low and a flush, so I'm rooting for a board pair to flip the three quartering over to me, and a 3 comes on the river, giving him a better low and a scoop.
Time to head home. Played big o for 2 hours and didn't win a single hand. Playing at that table reinforced the importance of table selection. There were 4 pros and the other players were solid. I need to play games with at least a few weak players in them. Will try again at Shuffle on Monday which has been consistently the best game to play.
