Last night playing at my local card room, 2/5 most people at the table sitting 1500+ deep, floorman gets called in next to take the new open seat at the table. Friendly guy, bald white middle aged father looking like the typical run of the mill middle class dad, wearing a mickey mouse sweater. Played with him several times before but the thing was he was always playing with house money because he would play during his shifts if the game was close to breaking. At first when this guy sat down he bought in for 500$ about 3 times i think and ran into 3 bad beats then something is this guy switched. He started iso'ing big, squeezing pretty often (like 240 preflop when like people call 30-40 preflop), making bottom pair calls (vs fish which ended up being good), big turn raises, etc. and he must have swung back up like 3-4k. While he was playing pretty agrro I started to feel like there was the fish, and then I became more like a baby shark, and then there this killer whale. There was a huge dynamic between the floor man and this one recreational fish and one reg fish who were all ateast 1.5k deep.
Somethings I learned, got reinforeced that night. Floor men aren't what they seem. Don't play so big that you started playing bad.. Shiet I kept spewing at my half ass attempts to bluff when the villains were close to folding but my bet sizes were on the pussy side relative to the pot.
Playing live games around 1k stacks effective is around my comfort zone. Once it starts to reach 1.5-2k stacks effective I start to become like a little girly and wet my panties. I think recently the highest bet I did as a pure bluff was only about 500-600. When someone makes it like 200 or something on the turn I doubt I'll have the balls to make it 700 without it being some sort of strong semi-bluff.
Ended up grinding up about 1700, then donking off like 1300 because I was being an idiot and playing for way too long being all tired and tilty.
Then to cap it all off I went to the 1k minimum buy-in 5/10 PLO game and played 6 handed, cuz I wasn't giving a shit about anything at the moment. Luckly nothing bad happened I just made like 300 bucks at the plo table, it was super late at night and we were all laughing at eachother cuz we were all playing like nit babies limping double suited aces and kings preflop.
Lol another side story a fellow reg at the casino who recently decided to grind plo exclusively was down about 50 bucks before plo broke. I then rail birded him as he went to the black jack table to get unstuck and he was eventually making 2500$ bets lol. Eventually he went to being down 50 to 4k lol. He's a degen but he'll be alright cuz he's an above average grinder that's skilled enough to play in the 5/10 games nl and plo,

And are all of those rooms no drop pre? The one thing I hate about LC is automatic preflop drop of 2 bucks. Should technically ruin the game but it is fishy enough thay it doesn't and isn't as bad at 3/5 as it is at 1-1-2 |

The last I made it up to Graton was awesome. No drop pre. Super soft. Pretty nice room too. Can buyin almost 200bb deep instead of 100. Red chip 1/3. Made 900 in several hours of 1/3 |

Well 95% of the time i go to Napa valley casino because it's only a 10 min drive for me. There's a 1$ drop preflop, and most of the time there's only 1 nl game that runs which starts at 1/3, if everyone agrees it usually switches over to 2/5 at night. Then there's a plo 5/10 game that is available 3 days out of the week, forgot which days.
The regs who are grinders are just nitty fit or fold passive type players, the fish are really, really, really, really, really, really, really, bad
Once I have more time next semester I'll probably try to hit lucky chances every now and then, got a grandma that lives like 10-15 minutes away from the place so i can just grind there and crash at her place lol. |
