saturday night/sun morning cash session trip report-
(i apologize in advance for the rambling and lack of paragraphs but i'm really tired and dozing off as i type)
i woke up around 6pm and got some food with my friends at the peach blossom chinese place which was pretty good and then head to the poker room to play a cash session and to try and put my 2nd hand $1k mtt bustout behind me. i sit down at the 1k max 5-10nl game to start the night around 9pm or so...finished the morning at ~10am playing a canadian guy hu 20/40nl and taking his stack. we bumped the game up to 10-20nl 2500max soon after i sat and played that for a while. i ran pretty cold and just folded a lot (surptise!) for a while until i finally hit some hands and steadily built up to ~6k. i then took a few big hits due to harsh coolers and got the game changed to 10-20 uncapped so i could rebuy to cover this kid who was pretty bad and had been running hotter than cts. of course soon after that the game breaks down to like 5 players and eventually it's me and the canadian dude(had a little goatee going with a backwards hat sitting in the 7 seat for anyone who saw him). so we decide to play hu for "a little while"...which turned out to be ~5hrs. i had about 8k to start the match and he was around 2.5k, we stayed pretty even for a while and then he reloads for 2k more and we bump it up to 20-40 blinds. i get him down to 2k and it looks like he's about to bust when he goes absolutely batshit AGG. and i cant win a hand for what seems like hours; he eventually takes an 8k to 7k lead and it was looking like i was doomed to have a [censored] session and fall back to even or be down for the trip. luckily i turned it around and won some nice pots calling his bluffs and making good value bets (2nd pair is the nuts) and i had the lead back and he was down to 4.2k. last hand, he blind raises to 200 on the button which he had been doing occasionally and i bump it to 700 with JJ in bb, he calls like he always does. 1074 2 diamonds flop, i lead 1k he shoves i call, turn Q river Xd i show jacks he mucks and insta-leaves the room. pretty good feeling to finally take him out after playing for that long. finished up like 7k on the session which was nice considering i was probably down 3k at one point with the full table and probably down ~5k total during the hu match.

i'm going to sleep now and i'll try to wake up to catch some of the 1k FT this afternoon, gl to those of u still in it.

was anyone playin 200 max last night around 830 pm to around 1am??? i was in seat 7 with the hoody and AX shirt

[Bakes]

damn GS nice work.

[DLizzle]

i think i'm probably a losing player live. GS you agree? the blind raising and bluffing stations probably catches up with me more than I think. next time i play i'm gonna really try to nit it up.

[Clayton]

wow alex NFH sir, wish i coulda stayed around for that one.

[Gary Stevenson]

thx guys.

dliz, you're almost definitely a live winner. just about anyone who can beat msnl online can/should be able to beat almost any live game up to like 5-10 or 10-20 with some discipline. you gotta remember that it takes much longer for variance to even out live. it's really easy to lose $ and confidence after a few losing sessions when in the big picture it means nothing

apparantly brynn kenney won the whole thing, chopped HU for 40k. i was told after waking up everyone i knew including brynn busted, bad intel leads to no sweating. oh well, gg brynn

[Gary Stevenson]

yea i went downstairs to see if the tourney was still going and was told that it was over. they pointed out the guy who won and it was some older guy in his 40s...wtf how did u guys let him win?
