Long over due

Yea yea long time no update. My bad


So it has been about 20 days roughly. Ill try to get it all in here.

I went on a 30+ BI swing at 5-10, my sickest swing ever, I ran so so bad.

A few hands from this run would include.

Twice having top set vs quads (A99 board vs 99) JQ6 board v 66 (yea not top set but fk it close enough)

3 Betting an israeli HU with 84 spades flop 5s6s7d and I am vs 89 and I brick a spade.

Losing like 03498573234 races in a row.

Playing poorly.

Ummm I remember flopping top 2 with AQ vs same Israeli gentleman vs his A5 (1 pair) and he backdoored 5s on me.


Okie so was officially like a 36 BI slide at its peak. 36K in like 5 days, it was absurd.


SINCE those 5 days I have ran ok, I have made about 18 of those BIs back and the Israeli who was sucking out on me and coolering me has cooled off himself. I am going to bust him. I have his game down so well now. Except for how to hit more of the flops thast he 3bets me pre on. I won literally every race on him today and he tried to bluff me off a couple hands and failed.

Still feel like im running poorly over all in 6max though I had a fair sitting a couple times but seems when I am flatting with big pairs on 3bets when I know the 3better can't play vs a 4bet I get beat up in, flopping trips or two pair with random cards or I flop a set (when I wanna get it in bad and river a set :) and kill action.

I suck at 2-4 I literally spew buyins off there, it is ridiculous how bad I play at 2-4, I need a program that blocks the dollar figure out and just converts everything to BBs on the table, and to be able to hide the names of tables so I can just open them, mix them up and have to play better or risk losing at higher stakes at the rate I do playing 2-4.

So Still stuck since Vegas but will eventually get that all back.

Was going to shoot for the top level in the promo buuut that would be a lot of play AND I would have to do a lot of it at 2-4 and I spew there so I should prob steer clear, and I will probably make top 2 or 3 levels and call it good, but the top level is an insane amount of playing unless I got HU action all day when I played and got a lot of sitgos running. (which one day I did get a guy to play me like 20 400$ HU sitgos in like 2 -3 hours, and he was bad, and I had a 17 of 21 game streak going at one point which is pretty goot)

Have been playin a bit live lately, and my game is just so far ahead of people around here. It is hard to book a losing session if I am focused. Though I drunkenly spewed 5-6K playing blackjack after poker one night. I don't have an exact amount I lost, it may have been more. I was hammered.......

About all for now will try to update more often.

Dudus update is such BS.

He left out all the best and funny parts. I will only write up the real trip report if he agrees to 1. let me write it up in detail & 2. posts the video proof.

Otherwise you'll never know.

Quick summary:

I dropped like 15k running awful.
Dudu's pretty good at live poker.
I hate my life.


That is all.

Ok I will update

Ok... Well I ran great in Vegas.

Well not great but I played great with a some luck.

Me and Jay both had 3-4 losing sessions before one of us had a winning session. ( I had the first winning session - Jay had about 8 losing sessions give or take)

Anyways I played 2-5 with Jay for the first 2 days or so and ran so horribly bad.

The day I move to 5-10 is the day I do well. The 2-5 games are fulllllllll of nits, reason? I have figured it out. All the 2-5 players are in Vegas with their 50c 1$ and 1-2$ rolls and are just so passive about sticking 500+ in a pot without the nuts. Then the 5-10 games full of 2-4 to 10-20 grinders who actually play a little loose with each other, have a roll of over 10K on them and play as such.

So there are 3 or 4 hands I have to share for the trip.

UNO this is my first night on 5-10 abut 5 hours in, I am up a bit but not even close to even for the trip. Then someone puts me in the green!

I have A10o in mid I make it 30$ the button (tighter older guy who has about 5k in bills behind his stack calls) the SB (a guy from the UK but he is dark skinned and throws me off when he talks with an english accent) (and has been 3betting a lot) 3bets OOP to 140. It comes back to me and I make it 440$ and the button flats ????? the 3better folds.

Flop is Ac 9s 7h

I check over to him and he bets 480$

I flat

turn is a 10d rainbow board with 4 cards out

I check and he grabs all his cash and throws it in

I instantly announce all in and he calls and turns AK over and I scoop the pot worth 11K+ with top 2

yay I won a good pot finally after like 3 days.



Later in the night, the UK guy and I have been drinking for a looooong time. We are drunk and I have a good read on him, not a beer goggles read where I don't really have a read, I do have a solid read.

This hand happens.

I have A10d in mid (again) I raise, he 3bets me from the SB (again) and I flat, about 300 in the pot so far)

flop Qd 2h 2c

He checks I fire 240$

He calls

Turn is a 5s

he checks I fire 350 he makes it 1,000

I flat

River comes 9c

Before any action happens because he is stalling badly I tell him to check over to me and Iwill bet 1k and he can just fold and be done.

The dealer says this is binding so he checks I bet 1k and he ships in for 8500$ and Ihave him covered

OOOOOK no I don't insta fold this. I have him on a stone cold bluff due to the fact he has his face staring striaght down and he is not moving (which is my read with tons of evidence) (I know you wanted a more subtle read but I didnt have one)

I tank for a good 5-8 minutes. I rationalize that he can be bluffing with AJ AK which are good, any 5, and possibly a 9.

I swear to you if I had any pair here I make the call, even 66 77 I call, 33 44 I may toss.

I end up foldng and he tables 56o ( a stone cold bluff but a hand that beat me he could be stone cold bluffing with... Sadly...)


Next night, I am playing 5-10 late and I am drunk, up about 8K for the session

Utg makes it 40$ next action makes it 150$ 2 down the line makes it 600$ I look down at Q8c and I announce 2100$ back to UTG who ships and the other 2 fold (this makes me like my play for some reason.... sicne I got the 3 and 4bet out, but who knows if one ships if utg folds)

Anyways I had to call another 1300$ and change to try at a 7k pot.

Flop Qs 8s 2s

yahtzee!

turn 9s

eh I could still be ahead

river - 5s

eh I can chop now?

KsKh scoops

This kid who wins the pot starts talking mad shit to me after this, just being extremely out of line, I said nh, nothing else during the hand but anyways this starts some sparring.

We spar in a lot of pots.

This the worst of the pots we played for me.

Ihave 97o in the BB he is early like UTG +2 and is raising my BB every round

he opens 60$ one call on the button I call

flop Qc 8h 6h

I check - douche bets 150$ button folds I call

turn is 5s (nuts!)

I check - douche bets 550$

I tank for about 45 seconds before putting 1400$ in

Then this kid just glares at me (like he has been doing in every pot like he is a bad ass)for about 2 minutes before going "IM ALL IN"

and I immediately announce "I call with the nuts" as I am turning my hand in the process.

river 7s

he picks his cards up and slams down 98o for a chop pot.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

like 11K-12K in this pot... soooo sick.

Annnnd the last pot I played worth mention.

Just because I am so pleased with my call here.

I have A3o in the cutoff I make it 40$ button 3bets me to 130$ and I come along.

flop is 3d 5d 7h

I check he bets 250$ I call

turn is a 4s

I check he ships in for like 900$ and I tank and make the call with bottom pair no draw

he mucks on a 9d river (he had 23spades)

ship ship.


I got bled on during the trip, I am sure Jay will publish that unfortunately for me.

I am running shitty since I have been back but I will cry later.

Au revoir!
