A remarkably uninteresting day made unusual only in the sense that I won a 50:50 and had three winning sessions, all of them short and all of the winnings modest.
Session 1 in the Flamingo eventually saw me pick up As Ks in early and it went the standard route of limp, raise in late, reraise form the button and a shove from me. Button called with JJ and this time it was my turn to be the real happy person when Js came on the turn (giving me a flush and opponent a set).
I picked up another decentish pot with Ac 3c. Once again, the game is easy when you hit flops and J33 was always going to be nice, especially when you have position. It then becomes a matter of value extraction. What's the maximum that you can bet on the river that opponent will call?
$128 profit for session.
A trip over to Bally's for the first time this trip saw me get KQ off the first hand, with a KQx rainbow flop. Won about $20 on the hand.
Then another Ace-King suited, reraised to $32 by me in the big blind after and $8 raise got called in one spot.
I got one caller and I think he was virtually all in. Anyway it was checked down to the river when an Ace came. I bet and he called, presumably with AQ.
A 90 minute session got me to $44 up.
And finally this evening a two-hour session in Flamingo got me a $10 profit, mainly with AJ on the button and no callers or raisers in front of me. It's like being online.
Board ran out Axxxx and I managed to extract maximum from Big Blind who had something like third pair.
My heart wasn't really in it, so I decided to come back to the apartment to write this.
Plus $182 for the day which gets me back to about minus $230 for the trip.
