    What is the most money you have ever made in a $1-2 live session (dont lie)

    Had my best session in a long time tonight, just play casually at khanawakee card room when i get the time twice a month maybe. I Play very pot control see lots of streets low variance style, that works very well at the place i play. I win like 8-10 sessions (not bragging), but any way i won $800 in 4 and half hrs with $100 buy in. I know I know thats peanuts in poker terms but the style i play is very low variance.

    So, just curious how much was it and how long was the session........

    3200 was my biggest win and next biggest around 1200. The 3200 was a 3 way pot where I flopped the nut flush vs second nut flush vs set, 2 of us were deep and the other reasonably deep, it all went in on the flop and I help up. I also play a very low variance style live at the 1/2 here in Calgary (best game anywhere). If any of you like to party and play some insanely good games come to Calgary during the Calgary Stampede, live NL games do not get any better in the world that I've seen. Tons of games going 24/7, 1/2, 2/5, some 5/10 and it's a lot of rich, drunk oil guys and hammered tourists. The Stampede Casino has the most popular stampede time bar right in it and is also a short walk away from the beer gardens inside the stampede grounds.

    I have hardly played any NL live, but I did play $5-$10 at the Hustler one time and won $8400 in a relatively short time.

    It was a combination of running good, shitty competition, and people trying over and over to run terrible bluffs on me that were obvious.

    Unfortunately I got a call 2 days later that a rare $100/$200 limit game was going there, so I went down, and lost $13k. One of the guys who beat me for a lot of money told me that he was running super bad for the past year and was down to his case funds, and that it was his first winning session in months. He seemed sincere about it, too.

    So you win 80% of the time, yet you only find time to play twice a month. I call BS. 99% chance you play way more than twice a month and you are a losing player.

    Don't take it personal, most live players are completely delusional about their results. I guess this is a good thing cause it keeps them coming back for more.

    Also, I won $3000+ in 5-10 games a couple times, but honestly your win is actually more impressive than this, because the rake is so relatively high in your game.

    Bought in 1/2 with 200 bucks, cashed out just over 2200, ran like a god and had some terrible players at the table. Biggest pot of the night I had 900 and he had me covered, got it all in preflop with AK and he ended up calling with KQ saying he thought I had JJ. Flop ran out AAK and it was over.

    Was this guy a complete spew tard or something? Why are you wanting to get 450bb's in pre flop with A,K at the 1/2? Usually at the 1/2 nobody 3 bets anything weaker than queens+. This must have been player dependant?

    no offense taken, i am fully aware of the lies that gamblers like to boast about. I swear on my mothers grave none of what i wrote is a lie or a half lie. I work 45hrs a week, i have a fiancee and a step daughter. When i get time off im very busy and spend time with my family mostly. I also travel for free due to my job, was in paris for 4 days last week. I cant really complain about my life its never really been this good..... no problem if you dont believe me, its hard to for me to believe it my self sometimes...

    I'm guessing he just doesnt play a lot of 1/2 live? Those games are as good as possible, if someone plays a pot controlling, low variance style having a high % of booked wins is completely reasonable. It's not like online poker, there is way less variance, you always are super comfortable knowing where guys are at etc.

    About $1000 for me. It was a 4 or 5 hour session at the Orleans in 2008. Bought in for $250 and just caught a bunch of hands and got paid off.

    They actually opened a 2/5 table and won some more nice pots over there. Probably up $1300 for the session.

    I actually stayed at that dump for almost 2 weeks while in Vegas for some job training. I was mainly there for sleep only, but did head down to the poker room 5 or 6 times because it was so convenient.

    They ran an 8/16 0maha/8 on the weekends game that was very beatable.

    Peace,

    It was player dependent for sure. I had seen him go all in preflop with A9, KJ, and J10 and win all three before this. I had been playing pretty tight and did not mind getting it all in against him with AK. My 1/2 game must play much looser then the ones you play in because people 3 bet much weaker than QQ where I play.

    I play at the Stampede Casino in Calgary, like I said earlier in the thread, best games I've ever seen. Guys will 3 bet lighter than queens plus if stacks are not deep but if anyone is over 100bb's deep you rarely see guys making moves pre. Everyone plays fairly passive, they want to see flops etc. There is a lot of money here in Calgary, a lot of oil money and the Casino is right near the heart of the business area as well as the Stampede grounds. Old guys cruise in after work, while travelling here for work and half of the 1/2 tables are always full of passive businessmen who call a ton pre, never 3 bet and never fold top pair.

    I made 25 hundred in what would be 1.5-3 nl, not bad really considering I drank over a liter of vodka in the session.
    I guess sometimes people always think shitfaced people bluff alot?

    I dont understand the above statement? At $1/$2 the standard buy in is $200 so everyone at the table is 100bbs deep until they lose a little bit. Most of the time 1/2 the table is sitting on 300-400 in the game I play at and there are plenty of moves made preflop with less than QQ.

    I am very similar to the OP. I probably book wins at $1/$2 70-80% of the time and only play once a month or twice at the most. $1/$2 live is quite simply the easiest game in the world to beat. Nearly everyone in the game on a Friday or Saturday night has little to no idea what they are doing and are drunk and looking for a good time. I have won many pots where i called off light thinking there was no way I could possibly be ahead with top pair weak kicker or 2nd pair, etc and the noobs cant imagine there pocket Jacks are no good on the KQ983 three diamond board.
    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    Every AC casino that I've played at $300 is the max buy-in with $60 as the min. I see people buy in for $100 to $150 all the time.
