Mediocre Poker Winnings Thread (1 Viewer)

[Highli99]

This thread is for scrub donkeys that want to proudly share their mediocre poker winnings. Manage to claw back two buy-ins in your .25/.50 circus game and book a $20 win? Post that here. Play 5 / 10 at the Bellagio and win $100, sure that qualifies. All that matters is it has to be mediocre by your own defintion and you're still proud about it. Win $100 at a .05/.10 game? Well, that's pretty good but you can still post it here.

This thread is not for losses though. Mediocre winnings are still winnings. Be proud scrub donkeys.

.25/.50 - about tree fiddy

Home game this past Saturday:

In for $20, out for $20.90

Didn't even bother taking a pic of my final stack because of the mediocrity.

That's what matters. I would have walked away up more if I didn't call a $10 all in blind man's bluff with A10o and lose to J5o.

 

[Ben8257]

Definitely happens to the best of us!!! $10 on J5 in a $20 game... wow not very friendly! Oh well still finished up!!!

 

[TripleStep]

Playing .25/.50 I won $67 from my friends who are still learning the game. Each dollar is stained with guilt.

Home Game (my home) from Saturday. Dealers choice games. Lots of PLO and such. In for $100 and had it up to $300 and back down to $125. $25 winner for the night. Last hour was not good.

I got the blind man bluffer back though. I bluffed the shit out of him on a board. I had J7o, so I stayed in after the flop after UTG bet half pot. I (on the button) called and blind man bluffer (BBB for short the rest of the story) raised to pot. UTG and I both call. Check around after the Ace turn. UTG checks after the river, and I bet pot to represent a 5. BBB and UTG folded and I won the hand with a middle pair. Reckless move on my part in retrospect, but I ranged BBB at having 8's or pocket 9's to Kings with his raise after the flop and sudden check upon seeing the Ace. But damn was it satisfying after losing 1/3 of my stack to a blind man bluff with a good hand.

Haha - perfect thread for me. Last Friday I was in for $60 - our usual two rebuy max but the guys felt sorry for me when I busted for the third time and let me rebuy. Came in second - in for $80, out for $90!

 

[Beakertwang]

I played 2/4, then 4/8, limit mixed games at @CraigT78's place. In for $200, ran it up to nearly $400, but cashed out for $248. Could have made an extra $100 or so, but Cincinnati is terrifying.

 

[RichMahogany]

Saturday day game, 0.50/0.50 I think. I had to leave for work at a certain time and was in the game for $300. Stayed about 10 mins longer than I should’ve and cashed out at $300.25. Half a BB is still a win haha

 

[1A25R]

thumb up for the title of the OP

home game .25/.50 - 3 rebuys to walk away with a win of $15

 

[toynoob]

.25/.50 - about tree fofty

FYP

 

[MrCatPants]

I really just keep checking in on this thread waiting for someone to post a giant stack of fracs.

 

[kmccormick100]

Played 3 hours of $1/3 last night, was up almost $200 an hour in, cashed for $315 from a $300 buyin. Solid $5/hr win rate.

@WedgeRock I feel that you are at home in this thread.

In for 200 out for 662kr a few weeks ago. It was a proud night for this scrub donkey. The Swedish krona may not be strong, but that doesn't make this win any less mediocre.

My aces held against queens, felting a fellow scrub donkey. I also called down a river bluff for a scrubbalicious pot of 476kr. The fact that I had the second nuts doesn't make the hero call any less mediocre.

All in all a great night hosted by @HMK, someone who I have lots to learn from in the art of scrubbing donkeys. If anyone has CDI 05 $100 or $500 and wants to trade for CDI $1000, look this man up! (This thread needs to mention some unredeemable zero value chips)

Pictured are my CC Paulson knock-offs, freshly scrubbed for this event. Just as valuable as CDIs in your local casino.

Edit: Labels say euros, but played as kronor, a much more mediocre currency.

Now this is how you do it. Very nice.

Biggest swing I ever had in a .25/.50 game was inn for $40, down to 3.25 at one point, and came back for $110 total on the night

 

[chipjoker]

Had a game on Friday night 2 weeks ago 1hr Pineapple, 1hr Crazy Pineapple, then NLHE for the rest of the night. I was in for $400 (.25/.50, $100 max buy-in, re-buy all you want) I ended up with $442. I am not sure this qualifies as I had $120 on my last re-buy and worked it up $322...

Cool thread..

 

[detroitdad]

We play .25/.50 with a 100 max buy in. On my birthday a few years ago I was stuck 300 in 90 minutes (I'm not very good). At the end of the night I cashed for $310.00

I lost 3 buyins in a $1/$1 NLHE game. Took the 4th (and last) buyin and clawed back to book a $3 win. Can't get more scrub donkey than that.

 

[FDLmold]

5-player micro stakes. I sent my guests home with wins of $1.75, $13, $7.75, and $3. You can do the math on my end.

 

[RobbieMac87]

Home game .25/.50 at my house. First game with my new CPC set. In for $40, out for $97.50. Taking the kids to Golden Corral next weekend to celebrate! WOO!

 

[FDLmold]

If Golden Corral is closed you can try out Long John Silver's.

Woah, woah...easy there. LJ’s is a little too rich for my blood.

 

[Beakertwang]

In terms of big blinds one, this was major, but since we were playing 5¢/10¢, the end result was enough to pay for a bottle of bourbon, a six pack, hot dogs and buns, and a bag of chips, and still have enough left over for Golden Corral, or maybe Applebee's.

In for $15, out for $138.50.

@ABC Gifts and Awards had a big blow out of PGI 8V's late last year. Lots of great semi-customs in this thread.
