Finally got some action, mostly from the regular who sits the next lower stake. The site pro also came in and played half a round before abandoning in the middle, which was a little odd. I hadn't played him before, but I appreciate the free money. Two hours or so, $150.23
Three interesting decisions today, all fairly similar ones on the first round:
Sightly dead wheel card vs. pair here is interesting, especially with my opponent already chasing two kings on top, which both motivates me to go for the ace and gives me a safe spot to drop a dead six if I decide to go that way. I ended up playing the pair, but I'm not at all sure that's correct.
Quick trips and play for high or take the three-out wheel draw? If fours were totally live and tens weren't I might have played the trips and hoped to back into the wheel anyway, but in this case I decided to prioritize the low.
This one was the earliest but I think also the most interesting. Lots of possibilities here, and I have no idea. It may very well be that my initial set was just really bad because of the possibility of running into this sort of thing. Villain having two kings matters a lot here too because discarding the ace makes my chances of fantasyland on top very minimal. I ended up playing for the wheel here but my guess is that my mistake was in the initial set.
