WINSTAR cinco de mayo

[rageotones]

i just got back from a 28-hour session (9 pm friday to 1 am sunday)...

ususally play 2/5...took a shot at 5/10 and quickly lost 1500. really irritating b/c the game was super soft, and i just played really bad(drinking before i went was probably a bad idea).

ended up playing 4/8 for most of the session. it was a nice break b/c i haven't played limit in about a year or so. highlight of that game was...

folds to sb(i'm in the bb), and i say, "wanna chop." he dosen't know what he's doing and throws in the 2. i saw ok, look down at AA, and raise. end up losing to J8o obviously.

one of the splash pots i saw (i was railing all the ones that hit the 5/10nl tables)...

515 in the pot preflop...guy w/about 4k or so opens to 300 and gets called in 2 or 3 spots.

flop T T 8

preflop raiser open pushes and gets called in 2 spots. he has both guys covered

preflop raiser shows 88, first caller shows 99, 2nd caller shows T9

turn 2, river 2 for board of TT822...i lol'd at the 8k pot.

in the response to the OP, i haven't seen them running 10/20nl in the last few weekends, but the 5/10 has a max of 2k, and usually plays pretty deep on the weekend.

i never have a problem getting a 2/5nl seat, but i've seen some people have to play 2/5 for a while waiting to get in a 5/10 game. so worth it though as it plays like 100 or 200nl online.
