Playing lots of live pokers
Here I am in a commerce hotel room trying to get some sleep before a heavy grind that will undoubtably come tomorrow. For some reason a week ago I got the itch to play some live poker and try to exploit the live fishes like I like to do. So far the results have been pretty darn good. I started off early last week at the bay 101 after a shark game(they won in OT yayaya)in their 40/80. There was a point in time in which I was the only non-asian player in both the games they had going that night. I ended up losing alittle bit after being down two+ racks but only because I lost the last orbit of the night with pocket kings vs pocket sevens. Pretty standard for a horrendously shitty game that it was. The next day I decided to play in my standard game which is the oaks 30/60. All the usual characters were there from when I use to play there everyday earlier in the year. I ended up having my best live session based on bets and I won about 4400 which is wonderful obviously.
After that its been alot of up and down where I lost 1200 playing that game the next morning after. Since then I have taken a trip to socal with a girl I have been seeing and I went to disneyland. After we finished our trip on monday I decided to go to the commerce and stay until further notice. Its gone pretty well won 1600 yesterday, lost 900 this morning, and won 2400 today all playing 40/80.
Today in my second session I actually played pretty bad. Since playing live I have found some weak tight play from myself and today took it to an entirely new level. I misplayed like 4 hands in one orbit where its completely obviously I could bet and take down the pot because my opponent has a weak hand but since I have super marginal showdown value I decide to check it down instead and almost always give up a couple hundred dollars. But i did end up running really good so all is well as long as I realize that I played shitty and make the proper adjustments in future sessions.
But I might move up to 60/120 soon if I have a couple more strong sessions and I see a good game. My friend devon might also put me into the 100/200 game as well, I think he wanted me to this morning but I was asleep and didnt get the phone call. That or he doesnt know I am not rolled for 100/200 yet.
But until next time thanks for reading this blather
