In for 1k, out for $3,676

Past few months have felt like I'm just spinning my wheels, NEEDED this morale boost!

You and me both. You think building all these stages for your shows are easy?!?

 

[Anthony Martino]

Another day another dollar?

 

[tabletalker7]

Remember lumber prices ..... We don't want to build another stage

 

[Anthony Martino]

CO is $10 straddle, we call button with

SB a tricky pro raises to 45, few callers, we repot on a 1k stack to $230

He calls, two others call. Over $900 in the pot

Flop

Pro donks $200

Asian male aged 21-60 on my right thinks for awhile and calls

We rip it in for $665, they both call and we're all-in

Pro only runs it once and board comes

Pro has

Asian has 4xxx

We get stacked and rebuy $500. Very next hand dealt in the CO, few limpers, pro on button makes it 60

Bunch of callers, I repot to $310, pro repots, asian on my right is all-in for $500

We go once

Board

Pro has

and we triple up and are even so far lol

 

[JustinInMN]

Pro has

That's a weird hand to raise pre OOP. Must really be disrespecting your limping range. Sorry the deck corrected his error.

 

[JustinInMN]

Pro has

Another 3-legged dog? I don't think this guy is a "pro." He's overvaluing hands that are strong in hold'em. At least from this two hand sample size.

We're 5 handed since the table just started

He should know I have AAxx in the hand where he continues with KQQ6 and should dump it pre

The 2nd hand I'm ok with his play, he blocks me having Aces and he may perceive I am tilted from the previous hand

Saw this and thought about you @Anthony Martino

Saw this and thought about you @Anthony Martino

Started watching and reminds me of luckys with all the straddles and blind raises

Saw this and thought about you @Anthony Martino

I like this vlog but 2 complaints...

1) hes a little too aggressive when peeking at the cards.. go easy buddy,

2). What the fuck am I getting old? I thought he had 2 diamonds here. These cards suck !

quick look at the A and thought cards were dbl suited.

 

[JustinInMN]

We're 5 handed since the game just started

5 handed does change some of the calculus I suppose.

He should know I have AAxx in the hand where he continues with KQQ6 and should dump it pre

I could see a flat with that hand maybe (it's still a 3 legged dog.). 3 betting a straddle and a call out of position still seems spewy.

 

[Anthony Martino]

Call a preflop raise with

Flop

We check to a guy thats been fairly tight, he pots it

Fish cold calls, we opt to fold.

Turn fish check-calls a $190 bet leaving himself $10 behind

River

Fish checks, guy checks behind and shows pocket 8's and we dodged a disaster

 

[Anthony Martino]

Known maniac sits down on our left with $300

He just came from the 5/5 PLO and obviously got crushed

We limp and he pots, everyone calls

Flop

Check to maniac who pots for $215

Fairly solid player who has been winning a lot lately calls, fish on my right all-in for less

We rip it for $845 total

Solid guy looks disgusted, eventually folds

Maniac only runs it once. We river the flush, he had 66xx and short stack just had a straight draw.

Big stack solid guy visibly upset as he had a better flush draw, phew!

 

[JustinInMN]

We limp and he pots, everyone calls

Flop

Uh oh was in the deck twice

 

[Anthony Martino]

Uh oh was in the deck twice

We had top 2 pr plus flush draw and backdoor straight draw is what I remember lol

Yeah I'd be visibly upset too after the deck was fouled twice in a week and no-one noticed. WTF Hard Rock doing?

 

[Anthony Martino]

Just watched a fish call a $20 preflop raise with and call a pot bet on a board, bink the turn and triple up

Game is good, we're up a bit

 

[Anthony Martino]

Lost a little in the 5/5 PLO, won most of it back in the 2/2 PLO. Overall had to settle for a $60 loss on the day, so not terrible.

The 5/5 game was short-handed at the start and struggled to really fill up while I was there, so I switched to the 2/2 when it looked like it was going to go. The fish were plentiful, one crazy guy kept potting it preflop to $20 every chance he got, which obviously makes the game play bigger. And unfortunately I wasn't able to capitalize on many of those 5-6 way pots as I just wasn't flopping much.

Also tried to put in more hours today than I have been putting in. Partly because I want to play more cash game hours and make more money, but also so I can prepare myself for June as there are a number of tournaments coming up I'm interested in playing (about 12 of them including a variety of games including mixed, plo and nlhe) and will likely sell some of my action on those as well.

 

[Anthony Martino]

Alright, just put together a no markup 12-tournament package for June. Selling half my action, if you're interested here it is:

Back in Tampa for some more action

Best player in room raises pre to $20, gets a caller, I repot from BB with to $110

They both call

Flop

I check, pro bets $225, other guy rips it, I fold. They get it in. Pro has JT87, other guy doesn't show

Turn 5, river brick and one pair Tens lol

Right fold, wrong time

 

[Anthony Martino]

Just saw a lady at the next table over pull her mask down and start using a floss pick at the table

Wow. What is up in Tampa? Fouled decks, now they let you reraise yourself?

I would crown myself the most patient and disciplined in the game, but this kid is VERY good

how did you repot your own raise?

*edit* after reading subsequent posts, looks like my humor is unoriginal. guess i should make a midget stripper comment too for good measure.

You can join me in the parking lot building his stripping stage. We could always use the help.
