Last night I played in a cash game at a friendly, nearby establishment. The regulars were all there as well as a couple other donators. I fully expected to get shipped some monies and by the end of the night, I was not disappointed.

The game we play is 1/3 dealers choice, which means we play a lot of wild card games. It’s +EV for myself and the better players to partake in these games, mainly because we take advantage of our opponents inability to read their hands correctly. And yes. They are that bad that they can’t read their cards correctly.

Bought in for $300, which is pretty standard for the game. I quickly got quartered when playing OHL w/ one-eyed jacks and suicide kings as wild cards. I had quad tens with the nut lo but the op, unfortunately, held quad aces with the nut lo. Nice hand sir, gg take my money. Orbit or two later I doubled up when I we were playing OHL w/ 7s wild and I had two 7s in my hand. Luckily a lo came and I milked my three opponents to the max. I took the hi and split the lo with 2 others. I quickly got quartered again when my straight flush/nut lo got destroyed by quad 5s/nut low. I misplayed my hand and lost the max when I shoved over his river bet and he had nut/nut. Oh well. Nh Jeff, thanks for stealing the hot seat!

I slowly chipped up back to even playing games like crazy pineapple with any turn being wild. Finally, I ended up in a big multiway pot with a wild card. I flopped top set and kept betting all the way. By the river I had made the nut flush and the resident pay off queen called my $150 river bet with the fourth nuts. FYI calling w/ the fourth nuts in any wild card game is not a profitable play!

Not much else happened. I did enjoy watching my friend Antonio lose again. I believe that makes 3 negative cash game sessions in a row for him. Variance is finally kicking him in the balls for playing all those shitty cards. There is some justice in this world!

Ended up one buyin so + $300 or a little under $100/ hour.

Edit: I find it really amazing that during wild card games, people will voluntarily put all their money in the pot without any wild cards. Seem strange to you?
