Cash game at @Boother36's. Started at a table with @Random Phish and @Hooligan350. The other table was loud and drunk, playing a much more social game and having fun. We were playing more serious, and although we were having fun, we were not having the same level of fun that the other table was. I was in for four buyins. That was not fun.

When a few guys left and we consolidated to one table with @boother and @mike32, we had to wait because there was a $400 pot at our table.

Once we combined, the big pots followed us over and the game played a little bigger.

I ended up crawling out of my hole and making a $50 profit on the night.View attachment 1655997View attachment 1655998View attachment 1655999View attachment 1656000

Food was excellent, hosting as always was top notch. Great Saturday of poker and watching hockey and basketball.

It was a tale of two tables for sure. Old high school buddies at one and cutthroat gamblers at the other! But yes it was an exceptional day, thank you @Boother36!!
When it was all said and done my profit was just under Wedge’s, and I never rebought all day.
 
Another 1/2 Session
In for $220, out for $691

Building the wall...my Neighbor to the left is moving his "Wall" a little too close to mine...

Don’t play cash here all that often, but it was a fun session.

One of the local regs in Seat 2 was kind enough to inform me how badly I play. Naturally, he was talking about a hand he lost to me.

Here’s the hand:

Seat 2 was in the big blind and raised to $15 preflop after I had limped for $2 with J♠8♠ from middle position. Two other players called the $15 as well. Seat 2 had AQo. 60 in the pot

The flop came with a queen and two spades ( :9s: ::2s:). He had flopped top pair, top kicker, and I had flopped a live, frisky flush draw.

He bet $20 on the flop, I called with the spade draw, one other player came along, and another folded. Three players to the turn. 120 in the pot.

The turn was the 8♥. Now I had picked up a pair to go with the flush draw. With about $120 in the pot, Mr. Seat 2 fired out $25 - a charming little bargain-bin wager, not even a quarter-pot. At that price, with a pair and a flush draw, I’m basically being sent an engraved invitation to continue. So I called. 170 in the pot

The river was the J♦.

And then came the masterpiece.

With roughly $170 in the pot, he led for $15. Fifteen. Dollars. Into one hundred seventy. I still don’t know whether it was a timid blocker bet, a nervous value bet, or just poker performance art. But I did know one thing: I had not called the earlier streets just to arrive at the river and politely flat his tiny little offering when I hit my hand - pretty hard as I say. If I’m going to take the scenic route, I want the full tour package.

So I raised to $85. A nice number - if he has top pair - he might call - if he has 2 pair he will defiantly call - and I will probably loose, because his 2 pair should include a Queen, but the value of what I might loose - is within the percentages of my hand strength compared to the pot size is, based on Combos he and I might have (from his pre flop raise) and SPR (although that is a discussion for later)-if he somehow has a straight or set of Queens - he will/should raise, another tell about his hand strength, and I might fold.

He went deep into the tank, looked me over, looked at my ridiculous Glass coke-bottle and my gloriously questionable Bad News Bears / Chico’s Bail Bonds baseball jersey, and apparently decided I must be bluffing. That’s my working theory, anyway.

He called. showed AQo

So yes, according to the distinguished critic in Seat 2, he stated how bad and terrible I play terribly. Conveniently, that opinion was delivered right after he paid me off. Poker truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

I then commented - "I never said I was good...as evident by this wall - which now contains many of your chips..." ( said with a Smile on my face :) ).

Everyone at the table Laughed - Even the Dealer - well - one person did not Laugh...
Then he commented - "it did not matter how much he bet on the streets - I still would have called - because that is the kinda of player I am"

I will never tell him - that if he bet more Preflop - or if he bet more on the Flop or the turn or the river - or raised my river bet - I would have seriously considered and probably folded the hand..

Just some Fables from the Felt.

Got one. Short stack, 7500, went all in. I look down at :ah::9h: and call.

No other callers. He shows 7,7.

I hit a 9 on the turn and got him. Not quite a double up, but a welcome boost.

After that, I was aggressive and was able to steal the blinds several times until, two short of the bubble, I ran into the big stack when I raised with :ac::qc:.

He shoved. I guessed he might be doing that with a wide range and called. He showed 10,10.... which held.
 
Managed to sneak in 4 sessions of 5/5/10 PLO at the local in the past few months. Some stack pics. 2 solid wins of $1700 and $1300, one break even session, and a -$900 losing session. The game gets crazy on Fridays for sure, but I was fortunate/unfortunate?? to be card dead when the table captains were going at it.

1 session at a card club nearby, this time 5/5 NLHE. Pretty nice game here with plenty of action. Ran very well this time and I was in for $1500 to begin and out for $3400.
