Hollywood Casino Update

No exciting news on the cash front at Hollywood Casino. Started Saturday morning playing $2/$5 NL. I bought in short for $300 and got myself in trouble with a semi-bluff which may have worked if my opponent didn't have three queens on the river when I made a ill-advised bluff on the river. I reloaded for another $300 but didn't get anything going before playing in the $5/$5 PLO game. I played about nine hours and ran my $300 up to $2K but eventually lost it all before departing. In my final hand I held AQxx and I called a standard raise with four players in the hand. The flop was AQ7 and the original early position raiser made a standard continuation bet. There was one caller and then I raised pot which was around $450 or so. The original raiser folded and the second caller thought about it a while then pushed to create a pot of about $3K. I immediately called. I doubted my opponent had a set as he would have reraised the original continuation bet rather then just call because of the possible straight draws and also there were two spades on the flop. He had A7 so my two pair was dominating. Turn is a ten which my opponent held but that still had me ahead AQ vs AT. River ten. Bingo, going home broke again. Some day, some day.
