Like I've said before, day sessions are very hit or miss. I got very lucky this time as the first table of the day was an action table. The table was filled with passive players, although some of them can be crafty(like JT in seat 1) none of them was I worried in the least bit about. The only player that had a game with any sort of creativity in it was Mark(in seat 6). Mark is a younger black guy, very amiable, laughs alot and is a pretty good player. I knew right away that this table was going to be about he and I winning pots and eventually clashing...
I decided quickly that I wanted to establish a maniac table image right away, with that sort of table image and this sort of lineup I would be able to extract maximum value for my big hands, and hopefully clog up some pots with limpers effectively limiting Mark's ability to play back at me because of the limpers b/w the 2 of us.
I open the first hand at the table to $10 in EP with Q9o and Mark makes a comment "Starting this shit already??". 4 people call. Flop comes 3,6,8 rainbow and I lead out for $35. Everyone folds and I table my hand face up. I glance I Mark and he's shaking his head...
The second hand of the table I re-raise 2 limpers to $20 with J10s. 1 person calls. The flop comes Ace high and I fire a standard CBet at it and he folds. I show the bluff again.
The 4th hand at the table I pick up QQ on the button and raise 3 limpers to $26. All 3 call. The flop is jack high and I shove for $300-ish. Two people call and both miss whatever they were holding. They both said they had AK but who knows.
For the next hour or so, Mark and I go back and forth winning pots. Actually he did more winning than I. I ran into a couple losses with TP over TP and lost a turned set to a flopped straight.
The session was short as the daily donkament started and the table dynamic changed back to the normal 'day game passivity'. I just racked and left.
