Hey what's up everyone, Stevek here. I wanted to make a thread to keep track of my poker playing in all facets.
A little bit about me, like many I started playing during the poker boom. I have been playing on and off for over 25 years both live and online. I've won as much as 25k in one night and over the course of time have been an above average winning player, mostly playing 1/2-2/5 live and 1/2-10/20 online. I've adjusted to playing only live for multiple reasons. I only play cash, not tournaments.
I have at times played full time for a living, but these days I only play weekends as I have a full time job as a debt collector.
Here we will be keeping track of hours played and net profit/loss including specific stats for each level.
Today's session was a complete roller coaster.
We were playing good tight aggressive poker on a 1/2 table with about $300. We get dealt pocket aces, and a good aggressive player makes it $35 in front of us. We make it $75 and he snap calls. The flop comes Q38 rainbow and he checks. We make it $100 and he snap calls. The turn is a 2 and he checks so we shove our remaining $125 in. He snap calls and flips over pocket Kings (we were worried that he might have Queens) and we were feeling great. Then BOOM he hits his two outer King for a set and scoops up the pot. Sick bad beat, and we were not feeling good about things.
I then figured it's Saturday night with $1k high hands, no better time to play some 1/3, so I moved up. I did not play loose tilted poker because of the disgusting beat and being down. My table was a bunch of limping nits so I switched tables. Good action at the second 1/3 table as there were some juicy fish there and one good aggressive player, and one player that kept shoving all in and winning pots, I requested a seat change to his left.. We play well catch some cards for some small to medium pots and we're up $130 at the table. We get dealt AK spades and the shoving maniac makes it $25 so we call. Two others call and the flop comes AK3 with two hearts. I'm first to act and I wanted to check and wait for someone to bet but I figured I'd better bet against the flush draw so I made it $35. Two players fold and the maniac makes it $65. I tank a bit and make it $145 and he snap shoves, he had me stacked with over $1k. Verse most players I'm really worried about a set here but probably still call, but verse him it was an easy snap call. The turn was a heart which was a big scare card and the river was the ten of spades. He flips over AJ spades and our two pair is good for the $1,230 pot!
That brings us to +$228 on the session in 8.5 hours of play, -$300 at 1/2 and +$528 at 1/3. We'll call tips for dealers and drinks (non alcoholic, of course) $15.
Notes on the session, more or less a good job. Mostly good poker except one bad $45 call with pocket fives on a 236 board. The player it was vs was a horrible maniac with a big stack whom clearly had overs and was going to probably pay us if we hit the 4 or the 5, but still the pot was only like $40 so too much to pay for so few outs.
Good job on the table change and the seat change.
It feels good to come out ahead tonight despite the sick beat with the aces.
We'll probably start out at 1/2 tomorrow, but we'll see how things look.
That's all for now, hope everyone is running good and having a good weekend.
