Finally a decent win.
In: $500
Out: $1,062
Hand of the night was my T7 suited cracking QQ in a $800 pot.
Holy shit. $3,200/hr for ten hours.
I need to start running private games. My goodness.
$32,000 in just ten hours. 😮💨
Jon, the collection was announced before the first hand and taken 10 separate times while you played the full session.
It’s been days since the event. You left happy, and we had a pleasant exchange afterward. You’re only raising this now after being pulled into a frame by people intentionally distorting what happened.
The structure played much closer to 100/200 true stakes, which is the metric that matters when sizing the collection.
For a lineup of that quality, the rate isn’t unusual by any raked-game standard.
Framing this as “$3,200/hour in a 25/50 game” is about the least accurate way possible to describe the actual rate.
1/2, first hand off the deck. $200 back.
Utg opens to $15, next calls, I look down at A4 of diamonds. I call. One more caller. Blinds fold. Fours way pot.
Pot: $63
Flop: 3♦️ 6 ♦️ 7 ♥️
Checks to me, I bet $20, next calls, fold, fold. Heads up to the turn.
Pot: $103, I have $165 back, villain has me covered.
Turn: T ♦️
I check, he bets $25, I check raise to $75, he snaps. (Yay!)
Pot: $253
River: 2 ♣️
I put my last $90 in, he calls, I say “nuts” and flip it over. He mucks.
Seat 5, “I actually had outs…”
Maybe he had 7-8 of diamonds? Idk. I never ask a player to show when they are mucking, especially after they’ve lost the pot and particularly when they just called my all in for a full double.
Poker is so stupid.
Enter the $165 tourney at Derby.
For an hour I don’t win a single pot, I am not even dealt nor do I make even a pair. I finally bust.
Move to cash. Very first hand I flush over flush seat 5 and win $220.
That noodles guy people used to post about got me. His KJ beats my AQ.
Felt like a great squeeze spot.
GG. Off to sleep.
I’ve fired the 10pm flight of the $5M freeroll.
24bigs and a dream. Long way to go.
Fields are stoopid big.
Made it past registration.
Open KJ for on the button, 2 callers.
Flop: J-4-7
SB donks for 3k, next folds, I make it 9k, he calls.
Turn: J
He checks, I bet half pot, he jams, I think about it, there is a flush draw, I’m beating QJ, JT, ehhh, I think I’m pot committed, if I fold I have crumbs.
I call. He has 44 for a boat.
I’m not dead at least. Brick the river, sends me packing. 🫡
This is heartbreaking.
