five o'clock june 5th 2021 session number two let's hop into little two five no limit texas
hold'em game at the encore slash win properties we're gonna be buying in for fifteen hundred
dollars and we're gonna pursue our dream of thirteen thousand dollars profit in four months
we can do it one session at a time as long as we have good mindset good bankroll management and we
run good those are the three variables that are very much needed for success in the bank rolex
challenge soon i'll bring you some hands from this event and uh one thing i did want to talk about
was the importance of table changes never really thought about this because i'm a tournament player
and table changes are completely random but you have the option to change tables in any cash game
all you have to do is ask the floor to be put on the table change list and they will accommodate
you when possible so if your table is full of 30 year old caucasian males wearing hoodies
and headphones while watching a netflix special probably not a good table but if your table is
full of people that just got out of the encore day club and they're eight hennies deep they're here
to gamble chat it up have a good time that's gonna be a better table so hopefully i can properly
assess my opponents engage what profitability i'll have against them wait list already 30 deep with
eight tables running for the 2-5 game here i've been telling you win is the best poker room in las
vegas and the people are speaking with their feet and their wallets let's get in there book a nice
four hour session and head over to mgm craft steak for dinner with a few friends from out of town
oh yeah i forgot to mention i was chilling in the pool on a floatie and a wasp landed next
to my face we made eye contact and then he did a little leap onto my cheek and stung me
luckily it seems like i dodged anaphylactic shock and we should be good for some two
five with blinds at two dollars five dollars with a ten dollar straddle we have a fresh
1500 chips action folds us in middle position with ace 10 off suit pretty reasonable to open
it up for thirty dollars to go small blind calls and the straddle calls three ways to a flop of
eight four deuce two spades we do have the ace of spades great card to have in this spot action
checks to us and i see bet for fifty dollars we got two overs we got the backdoor wheel draw we
got the back door nut flush draw what more can you ask for of course it's fine if they fold the small
blind does not fold he puts in the call he could have a variety of mid pairs maybe some 8x combos
ace 3 ace 5 all makes sense when the turn brings the king of spades we're loving it we have all the
ace king in our range and we have the nut flush blocker with the opportunity to improve to the nut
flush so when it checks to be i don't think it's a good time to slow down we gotta earn these pots we
gotta build some pots in case we do hit size up to 125 my heart's pounding and my opponent eventually
bolts and we take it down with ace high off to a good start about 30 minutes later under
the gun limps the button makes it 15. i'm in the small blind with pocket aces not gonna lie
my heart starts pounding like i'm about to win a huge pot or lose a big pot so we just got to
play our hand appropriately since there's a limp we're going to size up our three bet a little bit
out of position to 70 big blindfolds limper folds and the button thinks about it and folds not the
best result with aces but not the worst either i feel alive when i pick up aces 300 blinds deep
with blinds at two dollars five dollars action folds to a middle position male who
opens to twenty dollars action falls to me on the button and i have pocket fours i have heard some
reasoning for three betting these types of hands but i'm old school i like to flop sets so we put
in the 20 bucks and the blinds fold were heads up in position flop comes 6-3 deuce rainbow pretty
good flop for pocket fours he does continue for 25 i contemplate raising here to deny equity from his
random overs that he's stabbing with but we have position we can navigate future streets pretty
well so i put in the call the turn is a king of spades bringing the backdoor spade draw which is
going to hit some of those range king queen ace king might be sea betting here any sizes up to 85
almost a pot sized bet what do we do here with a pair and a gut shot straight draw i don't think we
should raise and i don't think we should fold so that only leaves call let's take it to the river
dealer the river is almost the perfect card it's the five of spades giving us a straight by putting
the back door flush out there my opponent looks a little disgusted and checks so we have to assume
we have the best hand here the question is how much is he gonna call i activate my random number
generator five dollars to a thousand dollars and it lands on 150 he thinks about it for about 10
seconds flicks in the one chip call and we have the winner we take down a nice pot this gentleman
comes up to me about 30 minutes later says hey do you have a poker vlogs i say you got that
right he says boesky i said nice to meet you sir pleasure playing with you good luck in the future
i look around my table and i try to figure out who the soft spots are and
there's no no one really giving it away no one's drinking not too much talking so i decided to ask
the floor man for a table change and ten minutes later a seat opens up at one of the other eight
to five tables and we sit down in the two seat so let's make our presents felt from hand number
one we immediately pick up the fourth best hand ever created pocket jiggitys raise it up to 20.
asian male uh two to my left puts in the call and the big blind calls the flop comes ten seven three
two spades uh we do have the jack of spades so a good time to size up here we want to get it while
the getting's good i bet fifty dollars asian male on my left puts in the call and big blind folds
or heads up to the turn of an eight jack nine gets there but we have two jacks pretty unlikely still
think we got to keep going for value here and deny equity from flush draws and uh you know get value
from those 10x holdings queen 10 jack 10 10 9 i bet 100 usd and he quickly puts in the call makes
me think he's uh he wants me to slow down he's got a good hand with uh you know showdown like a
10x holding i'm putting him on some flush draws although we do have the jack of spades so that
eliminates some flush draw combos the river is a offsuit six putting the one liner to the straight
out there any nine makes a straight he could have a variety of nines in his hand ten nine eight nine
pocket nines he could also have some missed flush draws and 10x so i think the best play is to check
it over to him and see what he does i assume that he'll check back 10x he'll value bet his
9x and he'll occasionally block with his missed flush draw so after i check he quickly assembles
a bet of 275 dollars leaving him 100 behind the problem with a table change is you don't have
any reads on your opponents and i don't know how this guy plays i got no info so we're just
just guessing at this point i think for a long time and i eventually put in the fold maybe if
i didn't have the jack of spades it's the call and he takes down a nice pot hey we can't win them all
