headed out to casino tonight with friends, $1/2 NL full ring. We bought in for $200 at the same table and started playing.
I decided to play TAG, and basically followed Grot's guide.. So, raise pf with AQ+, limp with 88-, raise with 99+ lp. If I hit, then bet big..
the largest my stack ever got was $200.50 . I got up to it on the first hand I played, which I don't remember now. Then I just siphoned money off for the rest of the night. I won two hands total in the whole night.
The hands that took me out were thus:
hand 1: I'm at ~1 1/2 buy-in and make AA.
raised mid pos to $15, and got like 6 callers (I should have raised more, I guess). Flop comes KKQ. It checks around. Turn comes a 5. I lead for $20, folds to the CO and button who call. River is a blank, I put in $20 again, and both pla<x>yers call. CO shows a queen, button has the king. (Not exactly sure on the bet sizes, but I was left with ~80$. River bet was for value, and there might have been a flush draw on the board).
second hand, I get JJ on the button. I raise it to $10 pf, two people call. Flop comes QQT. Checks to me, I check. Turn comes 5, making a flush draw on the board. Checks to me, I push. One guy calls with Q5. To make it worse, the flush even hits on the river.
Yeah.
Good side is, my friends ran crazy good. One of them got to $500 before he cashed out. The other hit $400, but got sucked out on by a gutshot straight that hit on the river vs her trip kings, so she broke even.
All in all a fun night. Just wish I had been dealt at least SOME hands. I'm happy with my play though, since I stuck to my strategy and didn't tilt out at all.
