3-hour live session. Apparently I missed all the action, as I got there after midnight and everyone had big stacks. One supernit doubled up vs. a fish with AA< AK aipf and there were basically no big pots after that. I bought in for $400, added on $100, and ended up winning $70. Not too many interesting spots, won a 130 BB, 3-bet pot with KQs > QQ.

I have a friend who plays regularly live and is looking to move up to 2/5. After the night I lost $1,800 (few weeks ago), he told me the most he had ever lost at 1-2 was $600. I was shocked by that. He normally buys in for 100 BBs and I guess he has a stop-loss at 3 BIs. But a couple weeks ago, he had a nightmare session at the Borgata, losing $1,100. Looking back at this blog, I've had a half-dozen or so sessions that were worse than his previous worst, -$600, and this is over a 2-month stretch where I've been winning at a pretty good clip. I generally buy in bigger, play bigger pots, and am apparently a high-variance player, but to never lose more than 3 BIs seems remarkable to me. Some of my best nights have been sessions where I instadrop 3 BIs.
Although big wins and big losses are normal for me, I like little sessions like this where I'm basically card dead(won small pot with QQ, lost small pot with JJ, no sets, no other premiums in 3 hours) and grind out a little win.
