Went to woodbine again yesterday to grind some live. Once again, I played 2/5 most of the time because the $1k game didnt open until I was about to leave in 2 hours. So it's a tradeoff of 4 hours worth of reads vs moving up for 2 hours. I ended up staying at the 2/5 game, because at the time the avg stack at 2/5 was $990 and avg pot was like $320 (over the previous hour). So not bad!

The game died off after that, so prob should have switched. My mega boom switch is slowing, but still haven't booked a loss at the casino in probably the last several yrs worth of live play. Could be running hot, who knows. up $240 yesterday, and $13.2k in last 6 visits, but lost one huge hand yesterday which was probably bad.

Few big hands.

1. Lost QQ vs AK for $300

-300

2. iso'd AQo hard on button, limps 5 5 I make it $35. Huge whale horrible player calls, $165 effective. Flop is 255cc he checks I bet 45 he c/c. Turn 2, he cks I shove he calls K9o and spikes river K.

-$165

3. I 3b 89ss vs utg bad player open from MP, 25 to 85. Button older guy cold calls (I put him on a big pair, AK/AQ based on how he was playing). bad player calls. Pot is like $260, 2c3x5c flop one ck, I ck, btn cks (I remove big pairs, only AK/AQ left). Turn 8d, one check I bet $135, btn calls, EP folds, pot $530. River Jc , I check, btn bets $240, I c/c and beat his AQ.

+570

4. 4 limps, BB special I have 35s. Flop Q35 rainbow, I lead 13 into 30, MP (180 effective) raises me to 35, I jam he tank calls and I beat his QJ.

+$200ish

5. MP raises, I call QJs on btn, blinds call, EP limper calls. Pot $100. Blinds open jams $140 on Q46 rainbow flop everyone folds to me I call, and beat his 45.

+$200ish

6. This is my BIG loss.

EP two limps, I have been isolating NON STOP (by far most aggro person at table)
I isolate BTN with to $35
SB 3b me smallish to $85 ($1300 effective) - small 3b is odd, avg 3b size is usualy $100-130ish
I call
Flop is
Villain bets $100 into 180, I call.
Turn is
Villain bets $225 into $380, I call
River is brick
Villain bets $700 into 830, leaving $200 behind.

I really should have folded here. I felt like he was wide based on his sizing preflop, and that he was very narrow here (QQQ,KK/AA) mostly only. Wasn't even sure he'd bet AQ this hard on river.
I called, he was wide as expected pre, but he had 888 for a set. Should fold river for sure. Rest I don't mind.

If I don't donk off that hand, I finish up around $900 again for session which is pretty decent. Will probably head back in a couple weekends.

-$1100
