Schedule Massacred (8/12/2011)
Friday, August 12, 2011 at 2:02PM I put in a bit of a marathon session last night. First I put in 4.5 hours and lost -$500. During the 4 hours I made one horrendous lay-down with AA. Against a regular I know I smooth called with AA to keep his range in pre. I call flop (T 7 x), Turn King he barrels and I call, river brick and he puts me all in for 270 something more. HE barrels 3 streets and I laid the river for some reason. I think he only has AK and KQ there. I forgot I was live and not online for a second. The all in river threw me off a little, I was like ok why so much? The only thing that beats me there is sets. So I screwed that one up for sure. It's amazing I only need to do one thing well in my life (play poker), and I still manage to screw it up sometimes. Then I played from 11:30 p.m to 7:30 a.m putting in 8 hours, for a loss of -$50 (lol).
The 2nd part 8 hour marathon session had some of the best action I've seen in the past few weeks so I felt obligated to stay. I understand you can sit with the worst players in the universe and still finish down sometimes, that's what happened last night. Probably 8 out of 10 times I finish over 1k in the same game.
I forced myself to wake up 4-5 hours later. I'll get to my parents house eventually, pass out a while, and then leave for the airport at 5:30 a.m. Time to head home and getting ready for vacation for a week. It's been a shit month so far, still down a buy-in, 70 hours of play. I feel good right now, things just aren't coming together in the form of any profits.
That's about it for now. Hopefully I can play a few sessions in St Martin. They have casinos and get a 2-5 game running every now and then. That's about it. I'll be back in a week or so!

At least you realized it was a bad fold with AA.
Your hand is so under-repped that he's barreling every street expecting to be called by a worse Kx at the end almost always.
It's your perceived range vs. your actual range.
Do you ever see Borgata spreading PLO games?
It was a terrible fold. I actually know the Reg really well, would have called vs most people, I let him off the hook there.
Borgata does spread some PLO games but I never play them so I don't pay attention to traffic flow and don't have specifics for you. There is a borgata thread on 2+2 that you can check for live game reports.
