Message: [QUOTE="Four Dogs, post: 1731364, member: 2668"] Well, I made my first foray into live poker since the shutdown and I must say, so far so good. I sat down with $100 at a $1/$2 NLH game at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and within 10 hands I was down about $35. Within an hour I was up $400. By the time I left I was up $660 and that didn't include tips and rake. I've played live before and I've only walked away a loser once but I've never had a night like this. It just about equals my best on-line session. Believe it or not I never had a hand better than a rivered 2 pair which I didn't even need to win the pot. I had some good starting hands which flopped well and held up. Pretty much value bets all night that held up vs drawing hands. The most interesting hand came late in the session when a young guy named Joe sat down to my right with about $100. He was on the CO but didn't want to post the blind. By this point I was already well over 200bb's deep and he seemed like a nice guy so I posted the $2 for him with a comment that it would bring me good luck. It folded around and he open shoved. I called as did the BB. The flop came out all rags and I put the small bling all-in for his last $50. He folded and my aces held up vs nice guy Joe's pocket 5's. BB says he folded AK. Anyway, I got a nice $200 return on my $2 investment. I just can't believe how bad the level of play was. Twice I saw open raises of $15-$20 only to have the raiser turn over AA in disgust when nobody called. I actually folded AQo in position on of those times. Many of the players seemed to know each other or the dealers or the coctail waitresses. I think I might have been the only on-line player among them. One thing I noticed is that I was by far the worst chip shuffler there. Guess I'm gonna have to work on that.:) [/QUOTE]
