This week I barely played any poker, to be honest I didn't feel like playing at all. I had a pretty busy week with exams and work so I couldn't make any long session which is the way to make money in the online poker world. Actually, I played 1 session, a shorthanded (6people max), played around 800 hands and won something like 50$USD. I played friday at my friend's house and almost left before we actually started because people were arguing for no reason and I just wanted to chill and relax for a bit, I didn't want to hear that kind of talk after my week. After a bad week the sun always shine and it was true last week. Sunday I was invited to deal in a 1$/2$ cashgame live in Montreal (200$ buyin). I dealt from 16h00 to 9am non-stop (I went to the bathroom once, that's it lool) and pretty much runned the game from the start to the begining. My boss was playing in the game so if I had any questions he was siting next to me. It was a pretty good experience, and a pretty lucrative one also :D (basically my salary is tips only but I can assure you that players aren't cheap when they win over 600$). I won't say exactly how much I won in that dealing session but I was happy to miss my early classes monday to get that much money and receive a pretty good live dealing experience.
The HOTW (hand of the week) happened sunday in that 1$/2$ cashgame. Blinds are 1$ and 2$. My boss is first to act, he bumps to 4$, a really agressive player siting on my left reraises to 12$, SB (small blind) calls so does my boss. Three players in pot is around 38$ so far. Flop comes : 2-2-9 (2clubs). SB (with around 350$) raises to 32$, my boss reraises to 82$, the really agressive player (with over 500$ in front of him) rereraises to allin. SB thinks for a while and finally calls, my boss fold (he tryed to steal the pot lool, bad timing). Pot is over 800$, both flip their cards, both have 2-3. The really agressive player have one club so he has a backdoor flushdraw or else it's a split pot. Turn is : Jclub... River: Kclub and wins the pot with a flush. That happens like 1% of the time...he got really lucky and I got a nice 25$ tip right away haha. Insane pot.
