Big hand #4. My stack had dwindled to about 3800. I'm in the blinds and raise QJT9 double suited. Flop is 3-ways and comes out KTx rainbow. I check with plans of check raising. Small stack to my left bets 60 which is a bit more than half pot, gets one call from a guy who had a habit of calling one bet on the flop and folding to large raises or subsequent bets. I quickly eyeball the bettors stack and see three stacks of 5s. Perfect spot for a squeeze. I pot it to about 300. The original bettor thinks for a minute, really looks like he's gonna fold. Then says fuck it, goes all in, seemingly on a gamble. Caller folds as expected. My mistake was not seeing the three white $100 chips the bettor had as there was a stack of chips between myself and his stand and I hadn't wanted to make it obvious I was eyeing his stack because I didn't want to give away that I was squeezing. I call off the extra 300 hoping to hit a straight. Turn and river both brick so all I'm got is a pair of tens. I expect to lose to a set of Kings. Turns out I lost to Tx because this fish went all-in with bottom 2 pair! I made a mental note and made plans to get that money back quickly before someone else took it as I knew this guy wouldn't be keeping it for long haha.

So I lose ~600 and I'm sitting around 3200. The fish with 1200 of what felt like my chips proceeded to donate the money to the table over the next hour or so and I only managed to win a couple hundred of it before he busted.

No significant hands for a while, at least not compared to the $4000 pot. 11:30pm ordered dinner and quickly ate it away from the table anxious to get back to the action. It was just as delicious as I had hoped. Only cost $8 instead of $18 with the seated player discount but I happily paid $20.

The action was good. There was a second table of 5/5 PLO that had opened around 10pm and was a must-move table so we consistently had a full table of 8 players.

On dealer changes there would be a $20 double board bomb pot. These were pretty good money for me all session, able to pretty consistently win half the pot in 3 and 4-way medium size pots. With one exception, I did get 3/4'd against a guy that had about 700 when he had quads on one board and the same nut straight as I did on the other.

Big hand #5. AA23 rainbow, bumped it 15 and called a reraise to 60. 4-ways to a flop of A85 all diamonds. I bet 110 which was just under half pot hoping not to get raised. 2 callers. Turn is a beautiful 5. I check. One player bets 250 and gets 1 call, they were both pretty pot committed at that point. I shoved and they both called. River idk, but they both showed flopped flushes, one K high the other Q high. The K high guy afterwards said he didn't see the board had paired - thank you alcohol - and the Q high guy just seemed really bad at PLO and was surprised he lost haha. I think he went back to a NL table after that. So I scooped the ~2000 pot and was then sitting around 6500 at that time. No one else on the table had over 1800.

Around 4am most players had cleared out and I was playing 3 handed with 2 clearly degenerate gamblers. One guy had about 800 and was decent so I tried not to tangle with him light. The other guy was quite bad but was also running terrible. Both of us kept stacking him and he'd continuously rebuy 200 or 300 at a time. The 800 stack never seemed to make that much money though, mostly sat around 600 to 800 for the next few hours.

I had a plane to catch for 1pm so gave them the heads up that 845am was my cut off. That worked for them. We kept playing, including some rounds of $20 double board bomb pots on the one guys request. I was just happy to keep killing the time until my flight. When all was said I done I cashed out $8500 for a profit of 8 grand!!!

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast and the pit boss congratulated me on my winnings. He seemed quite pleased that I took those last 2 dudes' money. The run bad guy had commented he lost 2500 that night, which didn't sound like it was all that out of character for him.
