This is really, really stressful. Bleh.
I've been set-over-set more than 5 times this month.
Almost everytime I've gotten it in I've been drawing nearly dead.
With QJ I flop AKTss in an 8way raised pot, I cbet and everyone folds.
With KK I flop KATss against a huge station/fish, he calls flop, turn Jr. He has AQ.
I have T8 on T84r vs bottom set.
77 on 79Qss vs QQ
33 on 37Tr vs 77
etc
I have 44 on 469ss and everyone folds to my cbet.
Sorry I can't bring myself to write anything constructive or interesting. Hopefully I'll run good and can start posting some interesting thoughts or whatever.
One thing is that I'm meeting a bunch of people, almost all of them other poker players. The 1/3-2/5 tables are jam packed with online midstakes regs (1/2-3/6). I need to get to 5/10 asap to get away from these guys during WSOP.
Obviously that's never happening because I'm stuck in set-over-set hell.
Though I do wish I played better (ie in the KK on ATKJ hand, stacks were $220 on turn w/ a $200 pot and I was oop, Myth says that bet/fold ~$40 is probably optimal but I bet $100/called due to the guy being a huge huge fish)..... I don't think I play so bad that I should be losing at 1/3-2/5.

wont the 5/10 games be packed with the same types during WSOP?
maybe u could try playing elsewhere if all your games are full of online regs.

lol I think the nugget has like 1/2 limit, gg life I'm suiciding if I ever have to play that game and I'm not wasted with 5 friends at the table.
I imagine the 5/10 will be gross too but from what I've seen so far it seems a lot of the online midstakes players are most comfortable at stakes upto 2/5. Maybe its just wishful thinking on my part but we'll see.
It seems like a moot point anyway, these days

I played at the nugget. I got owned ;(
theyve got NL games though. Cowboy (from Poker Bustouts) was at the table before i sat then he was trying to rally a squad together to head over to the mirage with him. If id seen poker bustouts before that moment I probably would have gone with him. I bet he can ramble on forever with some hilarious vegas stories.
Anyway, has live poker entered some bizarre vortex where its filling up with online regs?

i've never been in a 1/3 or 2/5 game with more than one other online reg unless by choice
those games are really ez and 5/10 will be tougher. ur not getting away from regs
if ur running into online regs who are playing the same games as u... go to a different casino. play at really shitty ones like MGM grand, ive played in that 2/5 game with a friend and it was all fish
theres infinite amounts of 1/2-2/5 games in vegas, 5/10+ is where u can only really go to bellagio/wynn/venetian etc
bitch on a pension suck my dong
