Played some more live poker yesterday.

Played some 5/5 (max buyin $1k) at Woodbine and demolished the world haha. The play was ok (not as bad as vegas) but still pretty bad. The 5/5 game essentially plays like 5/10 for the most part, because at least for me I was opening to $30 and most ppl were opening in that ball park. The only instance where it doesn't play like 5/10 is when there are a few $5 limps and ppl iso to like $40 which would be like $60-70 in a real 5/10 game.

I was up $4k yesterday in about 5-6 hours of play. My biggest hands were.

1) Won a flip AQo vs JJ for about $500-600
2) Lost $1100 in big pot. I have chip lead at table, effective stack $1100. iso raise 3 limpers to $40 with K2hh on btn, SB calls 3 callers pre. SB donks $150 into $200 on QhTh4x board, all folds I call, turn brick 3x he bets $225 into $500 I jam $800-900 he tank calls AQ and holds. I think I take him off his hand if I raise flop, which I should have done.
3) Won $700 - sq IP AJo IP vs aggro opener and caller $35 to $110, all 3 call. QQ4x board ck ck ck, turn brick aggro leads $100 I float, river K aggro bets $400, I jam for like $500 more and he folds
4) Won $500-600 - I 3b AA ip vs EP raiser, he calls KJo oop and donk bet/jams J9xdd board
5) Won $500 - One guy to two my left sat down, he 3b my utg open from MP like 5 mins into his session after he saw me open a couple times, I 4b bluff him he folds. 5 mins later he opens EP i call 22 in blinds and flop a set, I c/r dry 823 small 35 to 80 knowing he won't believe and will float (given I already seemed v. aggro and I rep nothing). He floats J9o, spikes J turn and calls turn bet and riv shove.
6) Won $1k - Aggro opener btn steal attempt to 35 (same guy I sq earlier), sb call I sq BB to $145 with AKo, he 4b jams btn to $1k with T9o I call and win.
7) Won $500-600 - I iso 2 limpers with 46cc to $40 on btn, 3 callers. I flop the nuts 235dd, MP donks into me $100 with J9dd I raise to 250 he calls, turn brick he donks $200 I jam for $200 more he calls and bricks. Running hot helps haha, especially when ppl play bad.

My 3 casino sessions this year have been pretty good:
1) Woodbine: +2.4k
2) Vegas: +1k
3) Woodbine: +4k

Will probably stick to the plan of going once a month or so!

Also I withdrew my betfair roll and will be making a return to Stars this month.
