Cashed out +$800 from the local casino tonight, after about 3 hours of play. A lot of #rungood, flopped a set 4-5 times and they held, had K-K against 2 guys, AIPF, both guys had A-Q and dodged the Aces, and the best was 8-8 OTB, heads-up against a solid LAG player, my flopped set held with 4 to a straight and 3 clubs on the board, taking out an overpair for a pot that was about $800. (Board was 7c-8-9c-5c-4h) It's been awhile since I managed to win more than 1 buy-in, so it was a nice change. The profits are all being set aside for a trip to Vegas the week after Thanksgiving....hopefully I can continue to add to it!!!

Played in several of the MGM dailies last week, bubbled in 7th the first 2 tries, then a 5 way chop on my third try. Didn't go as deep in the next two, but felt like I played well.

I played in my first Aria tourney today, after hearing so many good things about it. 78 runners, paid 7 places, but @ eight, we each paid $20 for the bubble (which I thought for sure was going to be me). Once we were down to seven, a chop was proposed & accepted (bottom 6 took $1k, overwhelming chipleader got $1.5k). Since I was in 5th or 6th place, close to 3rd place money seemed like a reasonable score.

Probably won't play @ Aria tomorrow, due to scheduling conflicts, but will definitely be playing that one again. well-run and a good value.

I seldom get a chance to play cash games as the nearest casino is 30 minutes away and my spare time this winter has been at my 2nd job building my bankroll for LV end of this month.

So the wife is working today and I have most my to do things done already before the trip. Golfed yesterday and my usual partners aren't available. Got the itch to go to Green Bay at Oneida Mason Street casino. The Sunday games are usually regulars with nits in the 3 6 game and eventually a soft 1-3 nl game gets going. I got in the 3-6 game and was up $44 when the NL game opened. I picked seat nine and preceded to get hit with some really good hands. In fact there were quite a few big hands hitting the first hour or so. Three folks got felted and I added the 4th on this hand:

Hero is in BB with [5s]

. UTG + 3 raises to $25, This was a higher than average raise but there were two other callers so I called to set mine. [3c]

on flop. I check call the $20 continuation bet and the other two fold. [Qd]

on the turn. I check villain checks. Hmm. Does he just have AK? River brings the [5d]

. Sweet. I bet $40 and villain re-raises to $120. When the villain was looking at me as he thought about his re-raise I met his gaze and quickly looked away. He immediately bets and I insta shove. He says "well if you have 5's you are good but I have to call." (He had me covered by $24) He had [Ad]

.

I always tip my dealers good so I gave him $22 of my $500'ish pot. I started the hand about $185. The dealer thanked me enthusiastically. Nice dealer he deserved it. Keeps the game fun and he's solid. A short time later a regular gets tripled up and gives the same dealer a $1 tip. WTH? The same dealer was at the cage when I cashed out and he thanked me again and congratulated me on my wins. I recently ran into a dealer from another casino while visiting a different casino than his employer. Mind you I don't play cash much but he remembered I tip good and we had a fun evening playing table games together.

My next big hand of note was UTG +1 raising to $25. Everybody folds and I look at [Ac]

in the BB. I figure her range is pretty much any two face cards and small to mid pairs. I call.

Flop is: [Qs]

. I check she bets $15. I think $15? Ok I call. Turn is [3c]

. I bet $40. She calls.
River is [Kh]

. I bet $100. She folds. Hmm. She tells he neighbor I pro0baly had KQ.

After two hours I decide to go home. Seemed like every BB I was in I had good enough cards to call raises and take down the hands with bets after others whiffed. Ended up $349 for the session and made it home to make supper.

Earned enough for a Main event Satellite. Can't wait!

Home game last night, cash game after I busted out of the tournament. Play a $1 dealer blind that gets to be wild and aggressive as it goes on. It had been running for a bit when I busted out of the tourney, so I sat down with $35 as my initial buy-in, with 5 other players when I bought-in, and average stacks in the $50 range. I doubled up my 2nd hand with pocket Aces against an open ended straight draw on the flop and cruised from there. In a little over 2 hours I was up to $365 and had not needed to re-buy. That was the most profitable cash session I've had in this game, and it's hard to do with most players buying in for $20-40 to start out.

Played my local poker club last night and finished up about a hundred after a couple hours of play. No real hands of note. I took most pots down on continuation bets or turn bets of 2/3 the pot usually on scary boards. I have a tight aggressive image at the club and like to punish those that make loose calls chasing outs.
