I arrived around 8 and found the room half-full. There was only one $5-10 HE game, and they had a seat, so I took it. Even though it was the only game going, I was pleasantly surprised that the game was good. Players came and went, and we got a little of the higher-limit players waiting for seats moving through, but the cast of regulars were loose-passive, and there were just as many moving up from the $3-6-12 as there were that left the game for higher ground. So, overall, good.
Only one pot was capped pre-flop - I had QQ, and both KK and AA were also out. No jackpot, but an easy flop fold when a K hit. AA lost some money, though. Another easy flop fold was my KK in LP and a flop of A-2-2 taken 7 way for 1 raise. One of the blinds won with 42s.
KK held up a different time, and 1010 was 1-for-2 unimproved. Other than that, the money was made on hands like AJ flopping an A or J, AKs which made a flush, and hands like 67s hitting the 2 pair or trips. I took no terrible beats and am definitely getting better at not marrying big hands, laying down the KK and QQ above, and folding AKo pre-flop knowing I was tied/coinflip at best against the particular raiser. One questionable hand posted in the SS forum.
I left +$102 at 1:15am. The room seemed to fill in later (after all the fireworks were over?), and when I left there were 3 $5-10 games going and they were calling new higher games too. The $2-10 stud game hit the jackpot pretty early on in the night and broke after everyone got paid.
Anyone going to be there this coming Friday? I think I'll visit again, probably arriving around 11. Let me know.
