Session 2, ended up down $120. Great action game and some crazy raising. Six guys see a $2 flop and guy bets out $50 (into $12 pot) and gets two callers. Board is like JQ7 and original raiser has Q9. Winner ends up showing J10 and rivers another Jack. Love how he calls $50 with second pair.
Played my first session tonight, 1/2 DC at Cash Casino. I'm off to BC for a week in the morning so likely won't play again for a while. Lost a $1600 pot all in on turn vs the worst player at the table with 2nd set vs top pair, nut flush draw and a gutshot...he hits the gutshot. I am running terrible in big pots where I am 70%+:(.
Was at Rama Friday night.
17.5 litres of regular gas - approx $18 round trip and 3.5 hours of driving - priceless time I will never get back.
I had free tickets to see Russell Peters. He had 2 DJs, kinda dumb but I'm old school. Opening act was OK. Russell was very good. I'm so glad we didn't have tickets in the first 3 rows.
It took 45 minutes to get out of the parking lot. Did not step inside the casino.

Still at 0/0.
Do not get the first few rows, if you are picking your tickets up early enough ask for something else if they give you the floor seats. Also yes you are fucked in traffic after a concert, you can turn right at the lights and go around the lake through Washago to highway 11 if you don't like sitting in traffic, but it's the longer way.
Session 3 +$310 at the Friday night Filipino game. Started off down a couple hundo but was able to make it back in the last hour. Off the Fallsview tomorrow night but may play 5/10 so no county for the challenge. If I end up playing 2/5, will report back Tuesday.
Poker is slow for me lately...not much time to play. Played 1/2 PLO last night for a longish 10 hour session at Grey Eagle for my 2nd session ITT and ended +$980.
As discussed, cash games capped at 2/5 and tournament buy-in at $500. Max. two live sessions per week (Sunday to Sat) If exceed two live sessions, only first two count towards the results. Results to be posted below...go!
Got in a session with jimmy and maroun 5. Stacked jimmy at least once. Survived with a bounty on my head. Was up big but had a couple big hands that did not hold up.
I was almost back to even before Jimmy the Greek called my $35 pre-flop raise with 26s (1/2 house game, $400 max). Of course he hits a set of 2s on the flop and milks me for $175 by the river. Ended down $350 but luckily my third session of the week so not applicable for the challenge. Results updated. May hit Woodbine tomorrow night with maroun 5.
Had to pick up my wife at midnight on Sunday from the airport, so decided to play at Woodbine for a few hours. Started at around 8:15pm and by 9:30pm I was already up $250 playing $1/$2. Pretty good considering most of the stacks at my table were under $75. Decided to hit and run and make it to the 9:45pm show of Mad Max - Fury Road (brutal movie btw).
My favourite Friday night game was changed to Saturday night this week. Was able to manage a cash out of $520 on a $160 buy-in for a $360 profit. OP updated.
Don't get it? wtf....in any event, my Friday night game got cancelled by instead I am playing the crazy "$50 bet into $12 pot" game tomorrow night. Should be epic :>

It was as expected, a great night of rake free $1/$2 under the stars by the Toronto Zoo. We ended up playing outside until 11pm, with two tables of 7 players each. What a great backdrop, the pouring rain and the cool spring air. Although the buy-in was typically $100 each time, there must have been $5k on my table within five hours. Luckily, I built up my original buy in from $110 and cashed out for $540 for a nice profit of $430.
Back to my usual $1/$2 Office game on Friday night. Had a great start and went card dead for the latter part of the night. Was up over $400 at one point but ended the night up $250. Results updated.
