Last night in Vegas. I haven’t been playing much poker, mainly just working out/sweating friends to learn PLO/going out for nice dinners, etc. I was on a heater though: probably like 80k in 2k hands. And then this happened:

Basically, one reg who was at the table was extremely drunk and the only other player at the table I recognized was Molswi. I then proceeded to make the nuts constantly, and pretty much stacked someone every time. Luckychewy and some friends of his were at our house to play basketball, and they ended up just sweating me since it was such an insane session. Every time I got the nuts they were more astounded than the time before, and the hilarity just increased as I kept stacking people. Here are some of the better hands:

The KK vs KQ hand was interesting because I sized my bets such that I wouldn’t be all-in on the river. Sometimes you just have to do that for metagame: because I’ll be bluffing on that ace a lot, I don’t want to bet so big on these boards with this action such that my range is polarized and I can get called down super light once that ace hits. Although I can’t play for stacks, I can protect my bluffing range for future hands

Unfortunately, I got creamed for 45k at 40/80 that night also, so I (”only”) cleared about 60k on the night, but I’ll take it. Just wanted to show you guys a sick 50/100 graph. Also, here’s the blooper: BB had been 3betting 75% and button had successfully 4-bet bluffed him 3 straight times, so to say that it’s highly likely nobody had anything would be understating the case for my rebluff. When BB jammed, I was getting 2:1 and almost called since he was pretty drunk (normally a great player, but he was definitely going off). Then I decided I’d been owned enough in the hand as is and cut my losses

  1. I’ve never played near those stakes, but was wondering if you could clue me in here: Why is the rake so high in those games? I thought max rake for P* was $5.00 per hand.

    Not to be a hater, but as an enthusiastic blog reader, it seems you have regressed to only blogging brags. Brags aren’t necessarily boring but have much greater boring potential, which would be a shame for such an epic blog.
