Default shadow trip report: this time with less shadow

i'm really [censored] tired so i'm not writing much, but dc_wildcat and i played 4/8 at wynn for a while. the table was not very good (though it was getting a lot better at the end) and we were both stuck, so we adjourned to TI for some intoxicated 2/4.

of course, the instant we step down a level, we both start running sick hot. wildcat flops quads (and maybe takes the worst possible line ever (c/c, c/c, b), though we seem to disagree on how the action went down -- yay intoxication) and a few hands later flops a straight flush in a straddled pot. i flop a set and turn quad ducks in a 7-way raised-preflop pot.

a confrontation with wildcat: table is down to 5-handed. whee! i raise 1 limper with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. wildcat 3bets on the button. sb folds, bb calls, limper calls, i call.

4 to the flop of J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] x[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] x[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. checks to wildcat, wildcat bets, guys call, i call getting 15:1. turn is a red Q and i c/r wildcat. i value bet a river blank and he calls and shows A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. i'm like, "nice 3 outer, me." and he's like, "actually, that's a 2 outer, you." and i'm like, "lol i suck out good."

shadow has i guess been playing the 15/30 all day. when i talked to him 20 minutes ago, he was up a rack or so and sounded pretty pleased with himself. their flight leaves in 6 hours.

i am not flying anywhere, so i get to go to bed now.

oh, i forgot to mention: TT and Barry were in the 30/60 game, so i went and re-introduced myself to TT ("i'm the microdonk who played 2-7 TD with you and Ed Miller and Goofball a few months ago." "oh, yeah, i remember. you had a pretty rough night." [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]).

i also forgot to mention that a 4/8 mixed game started while we were there. my bankroll situation doesn't allow a lot of dabbling in games where i am 0EV or -EV, so i didn't play, but i did check out the rotation. they were playing: Omaha/8, 2-7 TD, Stud/8, Pot Limit Omaha, and Badugi. my theory is that you grind out a few BBs playing the limit games, then lose it all as a 52:48 favorite during the PLO round.
