Far from the money with about 45/90 left. BB1200 with BBA. I start the hand about 24k for 20bbs. Blinds up up next hand to 1600.

I open EP (either UTG+1 or 2) with Q8ss to 2500.

2 callers behind in MP + BB calls. Four ways.

Pot ~11,800

Hero?

I checked the flop looking to c/r get it in. Not a great plan in retrospect since this board is gonna check around a lot of times. Table

Early in a daily event.

Seat 3 (me) small blind
Seat 4 absent from table - supposed to be BB + BBA
Seat 5 posts BB + BBA

Hand plays out normally and no one notices that the dealer messed up and didn’t post the absent players blinds.

Now next hand is where the confusion starts. Dealer tries to move button to Seat 4. I say no way. I’m the button. I was small blind last hand. Seat 2 confirms he was button last hand.

Seat 5 goes nuts and says no

About 30 left with 15 paying. I have 120k at 3k bb and it’s going up to 4k in 5mins. I think I’m 3rd or 4th in chips at the table. A lot of shorties hanging around 60k or less and everyone starting to tighten up.

I open J8hh in MP to 6k.
Folds to BB who defends off 100k stack.

Flop Jc 7d 6c.
Pot 16.5k

I cbet 5k
Bb c/r to 15k

Reads: V is mid 30’s been pretty quiet but seems decent. He has shoved on some opens, defended blinds, no

Sb and I check it down to river.
Bb turns up his hand first.
Sb turns up next revealing the winner.
I muck my hand face down.
Bb who is busted demands to see my hand.

Do I have to show given that it was multi-way with side action? Dealer made me show after BB said it. Felt wrong.

Far from the money at bb1200 with BBA. Soft field, super passive, loose, weak. Typical daily event.

I open JTss UTG to 2500. Started hand just under 60k.

Four callers. Pot about 13,500

Flop 9x 8s 2x

I check and MP bets 7k (started just under 30k)

Folds around back to me and…?

Villain maybe 50 years old playing decent compared to rest of the table but still bad (loose, passive). For example he mostly open raises rather than limps. He has also 3b

About 26 left from 125 with 15 paid. I been at this table all day with the LAG villain. Played with him many times throughout the years. Hes been crushing small stakes for years. Older guy maybe 65-70.

8-handed for the moment. I have about 140k at BB 4k. IÂ’ve been quite active and aggro opening a lot of pots and 3betting. The field is super soft.

I open UTG with A7hh to 8k
Passive fish calls in the middle of about 80k.

EP folds and button opens 100k.

Hero with KJdd in sb.

Button is older guy maybe 60. He’s on the tight passive side but not an OMC. He’s been opening hands at the FT (always at least 2.5x) and has taken a few shove spots. He has folded to a shove after opening.

I think this a shove with some fold equity a

Big field multi-flight event. Super soft field. Both spots are very similar with around 100/400 left on Day 1.

Blinds 1000-2500 (bba)
Hero stack 50k (20bbs)

H1 (Day 1a) - I had just doubled up two hands prior winning a flip in the bb. Next hand I open shove sb vs bb and take it down. Now on the button I’m dealt KQdd.

Utg+1 player limps off of 40k stack (15bbs).

CO limps covering with about 100k

Both players seemed typical limp happy loose pass

Hero ~ $1k

Sb ~ Covers. Unknown to me and I'm a reg who plays here a lot. Seems like average bad player on the loose passive side.

BB ~ $800. Complete wild card blackjack player who is taking a break from the pits. Another reg told me the other day the guy players $500-$1000 a hand at BJ. This guy is clearly drunk or on pills/coke something. First hand he sits it folds to him and he looks at the dealer like "what do I do?" and he puts out fou
