Played about 30 hours of $2/5 NL hold'em $1k max at the Borgata this weekend. Overall, it was probably the most boring 30 hours of poker I played in my life, but this one hand stood out that is worth looking at.
Table: This took place around 3am and was easily the softest $2/5 table I had all weekend. Very few 3-bets are being made besides myself and one other player as most seem content to call and see flops. Standard open has been $15-20 (I've been at $20) and will go mutliway.
UTG ($1,800) is the ideal $2/5 opponent. Limps with almost anything, and then will call large raises out of position with basically any two cards. He has been playing face up. The table is currently full, but prior to that we got down to 4 handed and this opponent and his neighbor I beat up on pretty badly. The bet flops when they hit a pair. Otherwise it was check/call or check/fold. He is probably 5 drinks deep at this point, but I haven't seen him vary anything yet.
MP2-CO: Stacks range from $300-$1,500. Player on my direct left is drunk and has just folded every hand thus far. Two players are super tight, another is away from the table, and the HJ folded to 90% of my previous raises and flatted/folded most flops.
Button ($1,600) is relatively new to the table. He got moved over here from a broken table with around $1,400. Won a hand without showdown to pick up some more chips. He seems to be playing a bit tighter. I haven't seen him 3-bet or raise a bet at this point.
