Going to drop my daily poker sessions and welcome all feedback. I play weekdays and day time with a revolving group of the same 20 players basically. NOT IDEAL, but is what it is in St. Louis.
+$355/4.5 hours. Best game in a while with 4 loose cannons w/$$ that over raise/3b and squeeze, unfortunately for me it resulted in widening my calling range and whiffing. Was able to pick up a couple med pots w/KK and flopped boat with 66 for ~$140.

+$330, 5 hours and game broke. Had AA three times and held each time for small pots. Made a couple loose pre flop calls that shouldn’t have. Flopped top and bottom pair in bomb pot, bet $40 on flop and called. Turn paired middle pair and checked, villain bet $125 and I folded.

Bit of a mixed bag today. Finally had full table and good action game. I overplayed AT to squeeze and ran into AA for half my stack early. Then played poor/passive poker with a sub 100bb stack. Lost AA to QJcc, a turned set to river flush and flopped bottom 2 to flopped flush. Lost $500 over 4 hours

Tried a different venue today, only 1/2 available and youngest player was probably 65. Worst game I’ve seen ever and left up $9 after 40 min of anguish. Drove to my reg casino and game broke after 2.5 hours. +$50 and may have spent half in gas lol.

Questionable weather kept players away today. Lost $115, got up to 6 handed but game broke after 1.5 hours. 👎

In heads up cash game all in. Hero missed flush/straight draw K high and tables hand, villain shows hero A high missed straight draw and slowly mucks. Should hero stop villain? Does answer change if it’s a reg you play with daily? Or just take the money and keep quiet?

+$450 today, 6 hour session and I didn’t win over $100 in any pot - just a grind. Been taking 2-3 hours, if not more, to get a full table. Feels like a slow death for viable day shift poker at my home casino. It will be a sad day when it happens. 😢

Short 3.5 hour session +$506. Had KK on KJ4♠︎♠︎flop, 8♠︎ Turn and blank river. Got called every street by AxJ♠︎ for $400+ pot. AK held 5/7 times. Had KK three times, JJ twice and AA once. Didn’t get a lot of action on them but picked up several small pots.

Finished February up $3K which is a little less than January but played a few less hours and the hourly was pretty consistent. I think I’m still running above expectations. Played poorly a couple sessions and one of them I pretty much lit a buy in on fire. Need to close those leaks.

Played my first 1/2 NL sessions of the year Friday, picked up $275 early and then $770 in the evening. Oddly there were no memorable hands, just small pots over ~13 hours of play.

About 5.5 hour session today and +$1k. Got lucky in a couple spots where I didn’t play the hands well but saved by the river and had KK hold up twice for decent pots.

Another day, another bad game. Thankfully I was recipient of the only big hand/pot of the day. I had K♠︎K♣︎ in SB with a $6 BTN straddle. I make it $20 and get 4 callers. Flop QT6♥︎♥︎, I lead $50, MP goes all-in $150, CO hesitantly calls I jam $500 eff CO call. Turn 2♠︎ River 5♣︎. I held vs AQ and A7♥︎♥︎.

May be time to transition to different casino or play afternoons/nights. Day game at my go to casino is drying up. Several days this year it hasn’t ran >3-4 hours. I play for flexibility and freedom more than trying to maximize $ but not getting enough hours in M-F day shift. Disappointing.

Well, 8 hours later I finally got ahead. A big $22 winner! Tied my longest session of the year I believe and it was a struggle all day. Lost w/QQ and TT 3 times each in first 2 hours. Had to grind all day, happy to recover.

6 hours into the session and player on my left just had his 1st hand that he didn’t VPIP. Straddles $10-15 every hand he can and he forgot to for first time. Haven’t been able to catch him a single time all day….I’m still holding out hope.

Uneventful day on the felt. Short handed and with a $145 win I think I was the “big” winner. Not much action and with snow storms this week it may be tough getting hours in.

Made my first evening shift of poker last night after losing $500 during the day. Played pretty fast and loose and got the $500 back after a long 7 hours and two bullets. Was nice to play with randoms instead of the same day shift mugs.

Had a few too many drinks after poker yesterday so no hand histories. Lost $500, mostly on 2 hands. All in pre for $400 QQ<KK and JT<A8s all in on turn 8897 - A on River for $200.

Played pretty poorly today. Grinded out almost 2hrs with a <$200 stack to finally get back to even (for 1 hand) and then drop $200 in the next hour to finish -$200. Lack of focus and called too wide early, chased a little when I shouldn’t have. Need to stop those leaks. #bebetter

Boring day of poker. Was never up or down >$100 until last hour of play. Picked up 5-6 small pots to finish +$281. Zero hand histories of interest, back at it tomorrow.

Tipping in poker - do you track how much you tip? How much do you tip/per hand? Does the amount vary by stakes? Any extra for high hands or large pots?
I tracked Jan: 73 hrs @ 1/3NL $393 tips on $3,269 profit. I tip $1/hand + more to larger pots and HH’s. May tip $5-10 > $500 profit hands.
