Finally!

Have QQT8 and see a K97 flop, get it in against AQT9 and we go twice

My 8 proves key as I make the straight on both boards to scoop

Nice hits! Climb back up that bi*ch, let's get it in ahead some more! (no ooc)

 

[Anthony Martino]

So a summary of the bigger spots of my session




2/5/10 PLO run it twice, lose both as 2:1 dog

2/5/10 run it twice, lose both as slight favorite

1/2 PLO can only run it once, guy calls off his stack as an almost 4:1 dog and I lose

2/5/10 PLO run it twice as a reasonable favorite and win both

So was on my way to a -2k session but was able to make that -800 in the end

Hey Anthony, I went through this whole thread and love seeing your results. Do you have your final results for July? You posted a snapshot around 7/25 but looks like you played after that. Hope you ended up great over the month. Congrats on your success and good luck with your venture!

 

[WedgeRock]

You left arm seems unnaturally short.

I can't un-see it now. I think if you extend the left elbow beyond the flag slightly, it works.

All the beats in this thread are tilting me... its like i don't even want to open the thread any more.

Omg. What kind of donk goes in for stacks with AQT9 on a K97 flop? Is this the pretty standard for the players at this cardroom?

A player who has been drinking a lot of Yuengling lol.

I mean, I had the guy in the 1/2 check-call off his stack on the turn (which didn't improve his hand) chasing the idiot end of a straight DRAW when a higher straight was possible already, there are plenty of fish in these games

July was my 2nd best month ever, only behind December. I don't provide specific numbers though.

Lol. August has been rough. I'm up, but only a little as we approach the halfway mark.

The biggest hurts have been at the Monday game at Luckys. So many 4-figure pots where I was a 70% or 80% favorite and my opponents just binked perfect rivers over and over

Still, not going to let it get me down. As long as I'm making good decisions I have to accept I can't control the luck factor

I have got to get into these games the next time I'm in Florida.

I would blend in with the other fish

I'm in Tampa with PLO running every day of the week, not much reason to travel to other locations, especially ones almost a 4 hr drive from home

How is PBKC? I remember hearing that the biggest game they spread was 5/10 with a $300 max which seemed really dumb imo. Not a PLO guy if you couldn’t tell by my last post lol, but when I play Holdem’ I just go to the HR property’s and skip PBKC bc I figured the room was meh.

Time to turn the downswing upside down, LFG!!

When I was there, it was a 10/25 game.

 

[Anthony Martino]

There's a reg-fish in the game calling preflop raises with 9843 rainbow. Please Poker Jesus let me stack this mofo

[Anthony Martino]

Left the 2/5/10 game a bit ago. Fishes left, replaced by stronger players and I'm just running like dogshit all week, had been folding for hours, down $400

In the 1/2 PLO and it's slightly better but not by much. Going to play another 30 minutes, then bounce so I'm still awake to drive

 

[Anthony Martino]

No bueno, lost $500 on the day. Not a terrible outcome, but have not had a single winning session this past week.

Tonight will be back at it, off Sunday and then back at Luckys Monday

Brush it off, you'll come back in the positive next time.

Yup, just gotta approach tonights session as independent of the previous week, rather than "I have lost X and I need to make that back"

Seriously though, I didn't realize how many dueces are in the deck until last night. Felt like 90% of the hands I was dealt started with a duece

It's Omaha, so eight deuces. I feel that as a pro, you should already know this.

Based on my empirical evidence from last night, eight sounds woefully low
