It only took 6 tries, but I finally booked a win in the Commerce 40/80 game. I don't play Commerce regularly. According to my database, which unfortunately only goes back to January of 2011 due to a computer mishap, I played once in 2013 and then this year I got to play 5 sessions at Commerce 40/80. 'Bout time, I booked a win.
I played a fairly long session, about 13 hours, not including breaks. For most of the session, I was within +- 1 rack of my buy in. But from about 11:00pm til 1:30am when I left, I went on a huge tear and with one dealer, won like 50% of the hands she dealt out in her down.
Commerce 40/80 is much tougher than Oceans-11 40/80 for sure. Very little open-limping, lots of 3-betting isolation plays, and lots of post-flop aggression. One thing I noticed is for most of the players, they almost NEVER have it when they raise the flop. I saw so many free-card plays and flop raises for cheap showdowns that I couldn't believe it.
I never had a session like yesterdays where I had to fold overpairs or top-pair top-kicker so many times on the turn or river. I also folded pocket tens 3 times preflop. One time incorrectly, and both other times correctly. Wild and crazy game. I also swear, that statistically speaking, I am running way below expectation at Commerce with respect to draws. I've had so many straight draws and flush draws come blank blank, that I swear the next time I'm there, I better hit every stinking gutter ball to make up for it, plus hit every nut flush draw that comes my way.
