yes this is TLDR
had a crazy roller coaster session that in the span of about 15 hands I was low and high.
original buyin was $300, about 10 hands of me folding and then Sam the used car dealer shows up... and to say hes action is a massive understatement....
hes the type that either drops 3k on the table or cleans everyone out.
i top off to 500, and another full rotation goes by where I have nothing and he keeps opening for 15/25/50 and then firing at every flop. hes up/down until finally I am the button with j9cc. hes made it 15 from EP, 2 callers and I decide I want to play heads up with him. I make it $75. clears everyone but him out.
flop is J-2-5 he leads out for $50, and I know he likes to call with any draw, so I pop it to $110 to keep him along. he calls,
turn is a 3 giving a non-club draw as well.
He checks and I bet $140... and he calls river is kind of aggravating, its a non flush 6.
he checks again... and that board is so in his 2 pair, straight wheelhouse, I check back and win as he insta mucks. Im sitting aroud 830
the very next hand I get KK. several limps until Sam (who added on $100) makes it $50....next, crotchety old fuck, who overplays his hands a lot, makes it $125.
I call bcause I know sam is gonna jamf ro 275 ish. - he always does in this spot. except this time one of the other aggressive guys who has me covered. jams first. sam snap calls , so does old fuck. and with this group no fucking way am I folding KK.
we run it once. the jammer had 66. Sam has A8hh, old fuck who had another $400 behind doesnt show... and I table the KK. 3 side pots. Sam in for 270, Old F in for 537, me in for $835.
AQ742 board. I win the top side pot. for 596. OF shows AQ to scoop the rest.
Sam reboys for 500, wins 120ish on his next hand.. and I then play the next hand with him where he makes it $35 to go from SB..
3 callers including me with J2dd as last to act. - I want to play hands with him.
flop is Kd Qd Th. Sam bets out $50, folds to me, I jam, he calls so fast I have to be dead....nope Hes got 9-7dd.
turn K, river.... J... he scoops. fuck.
I rebuy for 500, and he loses ~800 on his next hand... hes down to $300 and I promptly lose ~$300 to him when I jam with AK off and he snap calls with A3o.. hits his 3..... sigh.
I addon to 500, win a decent hand immediately to get up to $700.
very next hand I am BB and 2 limpers, Sam makes it $20 in LP, SB calls, I have JTss..
I just call, 1 other caller.
flop is JcTc3s,
checks to him, He bets $50, folds to me...
I make it $125. folds to him, he calls. turn is a 3d.
I bet out $190 he calls. river is a 2x
I shove, he snap calls... and mucks when I show top 2.
i win a few more small ones but Sam gets felted 1 more time and leaves before I can play another with him. I leave with $1397..... exactly 97 positive.
it could have been worse... but dammit poker gods, it should have been so much better.
TL;DR, in for 1300 out for 1397. after losing 3 huge hands where I was a 70% or better fav to not lose.
