Hand 5. Still don't really know what to make of this one. Feels weird just flatting flop, but it kind of felt like complete air or a weak TP weird "value min-raise/see where I'm at" kind of raise. Turn should probably be a bet just cause of all the bad river cards, but dunno.

Hand 3. Calling the 2x 3bet might be optimistic, but I figured I had a pretty decent amount of implied odds, and was already getting 3.9:1. That being said, he only has like 50bb behind after his raise so I think it's prob pretty bad.

Hand 7. Is this always AJ or better? Can I just fold flop? Feels so ****ing gross. The only reason I called was cause it was two suited board and he tanked OTT. Felt like a crying call though.

1// looks good, valid assumption with no prior info, just note and move on.
2/// pretty meh on betting flop, hate turn barrel.
3/// yea i mean i think we can consider floating more just because stacks are shallower, as played fold flop.
4//// triple!!!! as played raise river
5//// nh
6/// i make it 14 on river but looks good.
7//// hard to tell based on the flop being 3way, but HU pot I'm never ever ever folding. dunno how much 3rd player on flop changes things or how your games run.
8/// haha sick brags, i want to fold flop tho. don't think its close

Thanks for input. On like a 8ish BI cash downswing atm with like no volume, so I'm going a little crazy. Plus expenses for trips and stuff so my BR is relatively decimated.
2. Yeh I realized in retrospect he can play Kx like that. At the time I was putting him on mostly QQ/TT-.
4. Why triple? Not even sure we get him to fold weaker Ax 100%. And why are we raising river? Blocking 99 is good I guess, but otherwise I don't get it. We prob have to size pretty massive to get him to fold anything too, since we checked back the turn.
7. I mean, people definitely have air but this guy was unknown to me, which ****ing sucked tbh. Like within 3 more orbits I would have known that flop was a snap-fold ainec. But at the time it felt close. Turn is still a fold vs. an unknown though I think.
8. Agreed on fold flop to that sizing, just figured I had implied odds to his stack most of the time.
Going to play live tonight for the first time here, so hopefully that doesn't go too shitty. Will undoubtedly have some butchered hands to post

Welp, I'm in Vegas. Haven't played any poker yet, AND I'm about to go to sleep, but tomorrow I grind the Little Drop. Noon start (local time), and I'm going to try to keep the updates coming at a decent rate on Twitter (@MeVPoker). Some of those will get reposted to the CC rail thread though, which you can find here: https://www.cardschat.com/forum/general-poker-13/team-cardschat-little-one-one-drop-247310/ all thanks to juiceeQ.
Anyway, I'll be back ITT soon with a better update soon hopefully. I still haven't described my first live cash session in Wisconsin, and I've been meaning to do that. Cheers til then, hopefully you'll see me again in a few days on the other side with a bracelet!

Out. Lasted about 7 hours, the last 3 of which I basically did nothing but fold, so I can't be too mad. Thought my bustout hand might have been a mistake, 3rd to act opens (I know he's folding a lot to 3bets), and I jam AJo with 22ish bb (there are antes) with 4 or 5 to act behind me. I get snap-rejammed by BB and opener folds. I turn my hand over, BB squints to see then turns over KK lol.

Yeah the possibility of flatting was mentioned, but with 4ish to act I almost felt like jamming > flatting. But tbf on this table that probably wasn't true, because a lot of pots were multiway with overcalls, and no excessive 3betting.
But tbf, @IPlay, the idea isn't to "get called by worse." The idea is to increase my stack by ~20%, or get into a spot where I don't have totally dominated equity. Against a reasonable calling range of 99+/AQ+ I have 30% equity. And a lot of the time I figured I take down the pot. Whereas if I see a flop 3 or 4 ways, I likely have to hit it pretty hard. Second pair minimum, probably top pair+ required.

Well, I hate to be a downer, but I couldn't really have imagined this trip going any worse. I frankly wonder whether it even COULD have gone worse.
I'll try to do a more in-depth trip report later on with a few pictures and some hands, but right now I'm pretty depressed with the whole thing, so that may not be for at least a few days. For now, here's the devastatingly disappointing numbers and minor thoughts.
Tournament
Profit: -$1,111 (+$222 from CC promo, for BR purposes)
Time: 7 hours
Review: Played very solid for the most part. Ran into a few spots I was unsure about, mostly wrt stack size and tourney standards. Ran very very card dead for too many hours in a row, then jammed a marginal spot and ran into a monster.
Cash Games
2/5, 1 session
Profit: -$675
Time: 3 hours
1/3, 3 sessions (1 win worth $30, 2 losses)
Total profit: -$402
Time: 15 hours
Cash Totals:
Profit: -$1,077
Time: 18 hours
Hourly rate: -$58.64/hr
The thing that makes this all so much worse is that it just continues my downswing. I'm now in a > 2k downswing in cash games, > 3k downswing in tourneys (11 straight no-cashes), and I'm out about 1.5k in Vegas and Foxwoods expenses.
I also recently made the decision to take 2k out of my BR to pay for the security deposit and first month's rent on my new apartment along with other RL expenses. That plus downswing takes my BR down to a pretty ****ing pathetic 3k. It's definitely possible I'd also use more for RL expenses this month (before my first paycheck) too. I've got about $700 on my card at the casino in Madison, so I may just "withdraw" the rest of my roll aside from that and see if I can turn that into anything while playing 1/2.
I'm not quitting poker, but I'm tired, frustrated, and so far from recent goals and expectations that I'm not even sure how to react. I know I'm running bad, in cards, situations, etc. But this game is too brutal for it to not feel disgusting even with the knowledge that variance is shitting on me a little.
Such is poker, such is life I guess.
Hopefully will have a trip report up next weekend at the latest if I haven't totally lost my mind and decided poker can go **** itself.
Oh, and for shits and giggles, here's my poker giraffe.

Wow, so I guess I can' t cry about my $4 "downswing"...I saw you were playing online again, so maybe thats the way: take a break from live games and play online limits that you can easily crush with a "just for fun" attitude. Or take a break at all... Either way I wish you all the best and a quick recovery from that ugly downswing you have now. Oh and you know what they say: "Tough times dont last; tough people do"
