So far today, I made it to 1/2 at Empire, with a balance of $101.75. Haven't played any yet, plan on doing that soon.
As far as Stars goes, it's been pretty rough over there. I was up to $38.05, but have had 3 straight losing sessions leaving me at $27.25.... still up so far, but not where I'd like to be. I had one tremendously frustrating opponent who sucked out 2 pair on the river 3 times against me this morning...... I had AA, KK, and AKs (flopped an ace). This guy was cold calling my PF raises and beat me these 3 hands with: K5o (against my aces... flop had a 5, river was a king), J7s (against the kings...... flop had a jack, river was a 7), and the best........ 74s (against my AKs..... I flopped a four flush, TP, there was a 7 on the flop, and he called down to get a 4 on the river). I didn't tilt, here... merely laughed about it and wondered: WTF?!?!?!?!
I could see this against a whole table, but it was the same guy all 3 hands! Needless to say, those 3 hands were absolutely atrocious in regards to my BR. The session I had this morning, after playing against Mr. Suck Out, I started with $27.90, won 9% of my hands, and saw the flop 22% of the time.... I ended up losing $.65...... tight table that folded to any semblance of a raise.... I even raised from UTG with pocket 4's to test my theory..... the whole table folded! Needless to say, this wasn't good for me, as I got very little action, and I DID have queens beat by pocket aces..... capped a ragged flop HU(after capping PF), then my opponent proceded to check/call me all the way, with no help cards to either of us.
Oh, well... just thought I would update the interested before I tackle Party 1/2 tables soon.
