Limit HE ring game in Waterloo (practice for Brantford)
in Poker Games
I've got a buddy coming from T.O. and we're going to hit up Brantford on Saturday.
As a warm up, I'm interested in having a baby-limit _Limit_ HE game on Friday night starting 7/7:30.
Limits from .25/.50 to 1/2 based on comfort level of those who attend.
I'm in downtown Waterloo. I've only got one table (room for about 6 more). No rake, BYOB.
Please PM me or reply to the post if you're interested.

My mini-report:
Me: +$20, Emil: -$80 after 7 hrs.
Nothing really mind-blowing. Trips getting rivered etc., nothing you haven't heard a thousand times.
I saw/experienced a lot of the things I've read from other trips. Emil and I got to sit at the same table from the get-go. Shortly after we arrived, they opened a new 2-5 table, so we sat almost right away. We both bought in for $100 and never had to rebuy.
We started with Lawrence the dealer and he sucked as bad as people have said.
I had a guy sitting on my left for most of the day that would tell me what he was drawing to whenever he was in a hand that I wasn't in (and he was in a lot of hands). It was hilarious, because he would get really pissed and muck to any raise when the board 3-flushed.
There was one hand where he had KJ (I think) and had 2 pair. the river brought a third diamond and a LP raise made him react like he got rivered, but he called anyway. The raiser declared a flush and showed his cards. He had misread them and he didn't have anything. The guy on my left couldn't believe that his hand was good and for like 3 seconds he held his cards like he wanted to muck them until it finally dawned on him that he won. It was like he wanted to lose. Needless to say he was down $100 or so when I left. He actually told me that when he'd get good cards (any two face cards qualify as good to him, I think), he'd get sucked out on, so he was only playing low connectors, K3 suited, that kind of thing. From any position, which was fine because there were never any opening raises, and when there were, nobody would fold.
I was +$40 in the first hour or so, then went on a bad run and was -$50. I spent the next 3 hrs. playing premium hands only until I was back to +$40 and stayed -$15 - +$35 the rest of the session. I had KK once, the Skanks twice, JJ once, none of which held up. My biggest pots were made with QT where I twice turned a straight, both times from the BB. The hands that played well were definitely the drawing hands (i.e. flop middle or top pair with four to a flush).
Most interesting hand (inasmuch as I questioned my play afterwards): I had Q3o in the BB. EP called, MP called, button called, SB completes, I check.
Flop come QJ4 rainbow. Check, I bet, EP calls, MP calls, SB folds.
Turn is Q. I bet, EP folds, MP raises, I think about it and call. This was the very first hand that MP played. He had just sat down. he was a young guy (barely legal, I think). I figured him for a QK, QJ, that sort of thing. Anyway, I call. i really thought I was beat at that point, but I was hoping to chop if the board paired or something.
River is a 7 (I think). Check, bet, call, he flips AA and MHIG. So, obviously, he misplayed his AA. I'm worried about my own play there, though. Any comments?
Emil started by climbing to +$60 in the first couple of hours (some of it at my expense, thank you) but bled it away in the last 3 hours until he was -$80. He was playing _way_ too many hands IMHO, and too aggresively. Then would have to fold to a reraise. He basically lost all his money calling with starting hands he should've thrown away.
Live and learn, I guess.
Man - do you ever hate pocket queens!!!1 How much did it hurt here? Did you just fold them up pre-flop?
