[_GUN_]

the .50/$1 cash tables of 2-7 triple draw on P* have a $5 minimum. most players come in around $20-25. I usually sit with $6-8 and double my stack in under ten hands or I bust. I figure if I buy in for $20 and run into coolers, I'll want to rebuy and possibly get even further stuck. If the game is fulll of medium-strength players---no total beginners and no solid types, then it's not worth a re-buy, if you're getting no good starting hands.

I busted out quickly today, I was crippled by a guy who drew to a J-high or something and I paired. I decided to exit the table and it dawned on me that the player was too weak to let go. I rebought for $9 and was back at $16.40 in four hands.

I've never gone from stuck to even in four hands in my life. For those who haven't either, it feels great. The play certainly shifted when everyone saw some of this guy's holdings. I was really irritated with one fish at my table. He kept flat-calling my raises with horrible draws when I'd raise utg2 vs the utg weak player's limps. It's not as if I had AQJ25, I was bringing in raises with 238/2358/247 et cetera. He took a couple pots from me as the third wheel.

It really bugged me when he made a comment about the weak player's check-call with Q-high, when I made a number 3 (76532). I told him to hush, but he was just a straight fish. The one player was a newb, but he was a fish.

Hand of the match was the beginner, myself, and another player who was also pretty weak. I reraised the weak player's opening raise pre-draw with 2357 and a third player flat-called which is not recommended with a two-draw. I check-called out of position when the third player bet and stayed pat after the first draw, then I finally hit my 4 on the end, for the perfect wheel ,and I check-raised with it. The beginner folded, but not before really building the pot with his own OOP calls. The third player reraised me and I capped it with the fourth bet. He flashed 23467.

His reraise was absolutely terrible there, I've shown multiple wheels and I'm not going to check-raise with anything there except a number one and possibly a number two. By him three-betting it, he is essentially reraising a chop or a winner. That is one of the biggest flaws of weak 2-7 players, they overplay all their sevens. I routinely check-call a rough seven on the end vs a single draw, no reason to cost yourself an extra bet. Many players bluff there anyways and you can check-call a bust like 2457-J, or 2457-5. That pot was good for $17. I also won a $10 pot with T-high vs the weak players's A-high, that was a thing of beauty. I think I made three perfect wheels in the session, couple nice eights, and a couple clean sevens (2357, hit a 6 on first draw, stuff like that).

I cashed out at $25.20 with under forty hands played. Got my FPP's and got a few bucks. I had other things to do, so I ditched it.
