24/25 Poker : GTO or GTFO
Got my $500 match in time this week, so I’ll be there more for sure. They’re having a celebration of life hang out tonight at 7pm at red star for Big E. I’m heading to southeast Texas though today, so won’t be able to make it, but I’m sure it’ll be an awesome time with lots of good memories about an awesome dude that meant so much to the Austin poker scene.

Red star just changed their 1/2 to $500 max. It ch aged while I was there today during free play from noon - 2. Game keeps making earlier, I was there right at noon and they already had one full table and we made the second table around 12:30ish. Seems like the plan is to keep it going for now, so I’ll try to be there a few times a week at least during the day, until I finally get one of those job things. Gross.

RIP Big E, owner of Red Star and Austin poker staple. Not sure what is going to happen with Red Star, but assume it won’t be around much longer. Action at TCH has been great. Changing the 1/2 to a $500 max has led to some great deep stack action.

New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
Heading to NOLA tomorrow for our anniversary. We got married there in 2016, but haven’t been back since. Hitting up Compère Lapin, Brennan’s (brunch), GW Fins so far. WW II museum on Monday, and I’m sure I’ll slum it up at Harrahs. Weather looks fantastic, should be good times!

Just bustin your sack. If you play at Red Star regularly, I’m sure we’ve played together and I can prolly guess who some of the villains you’re talking about are. I’d just seen ya mention the AA limp move a few times recently, so maybe throw in the occasional A 2-5 suited, etc or something into that limp/reraise range may be something to consider.

But if your game involves playing Q 4 off to “make a move” and you regularly limp A A to “set a trap” and your entire range you do that with is 3 hands, maybe you should reconsider playing “your game”. Lulz, jkjk, sorta. Mostly.

2023 Poker in the Rear
To acknowledge the… other side of poker, I’d actually been on about a $4k downswing, mostly from a crazy 5/10 home game that I was really under bankrolled for. Anyways, point being downswings happen, keep playing yo game you’ll be on the right size of variance again! How diligent and what do y’all use to track your shit? I’ve gotten much better tracking sessions this year, maybe because I’m not able to play as many. For tax purposes this is all sample data, of course. I use Poker Income, seems to check all the boxes I need, but maybe there is some new awesome shit out there?!?!

Always buy in for the max amount (within reason, like I don’t always auto match the stack, depends on… stuff), top off to max buy when ya get below 2/3ish of the max buy in, and bring as many bullets as ya feel comfortable losing in a single session. The Lodge looks to be bumpin per Poker Atlas, it’s the Brad, Andrew, Doug 1/2 meetup game. 25 1/2 tables going as of now. Was just going to the current withdrawal spot (TCH), but may have to venture north, beyond the wall tonight.

Was back at TCH last night on them 1/3 streets. Had to work for it this session. I’m terrible at hand history’s because I take pretty frequent weed breaks, but in general I was doing well at hold ‘em, getting crushed in the plo bomb pots, until the game was breaking and we played one last one for the road 4 handed for $25/each. Scooped for about $1,000 with like the 17th nut on each board. In for $1,400, out for $2,540.
