Continuing the Good Run [338 Hands / +$43.85] + Mid Month Review

Posted by icemonkey9 on Sep 11, 2008 in General | 0 comments

The run of playing well continues to pay dividends. I am not allowing stupid hands like my AA cracked by JTo get to me tilting and I focus on just trying to play each hand and each session as best as possible. In these two sessions that encompass the 338 hands for this post, I was down a bit (~$10) at one point on both but played solid and went after the fish at the table with great results. 6max is just so juicy for getting paid off for hands ... so much more than fullring. It's too bad a great player and a good guy like WVHillBilly had such pitiful results, I am sure when he is able to come back to this game he'll dominate it much more so than I am doing.

In terms of overall bankroll, if you add my $33 I have for rakeback that I haven't sold yet, I have 29 buyins for $50nl now. I think what I want to do is go on the cruise, have fun, get back and get cracking on my work projects, and then take some time to get back in the groove of 25nl. So that means I'm not going to 50nl. In fact when I do I won't post about going to 50nl pre-move because that's been the kiss of death so screw that. Also lets not forget that $240 deposit bonus I am finally creeping towards unlocking.

Let's look at some hands ...

AA ... and let me explain the flop ...

OK the villain (43/3/1 total fish) min-raises me here which universally means at this level the idiot hit top pair (which I am happy for). BW07507 suggested something called "mega-clicking" or something to that effect where you just insta-min-raise your idiot opponent who goes into Galaga-mode against you and just keeps clicking the bet/raise button. So I tried it here and he actually insta-flatted me. So I just kept betting figuring him for KQo. QT? I said out loud "wow really?!" when he showed.

92. Wow. Unreal. Hilarious Villain.

I just kept betting people. On the river, the 4 comes which isn't a great card but if he was playing something like 67 or JT then I was safe. I thought he might have something like A8. Anyways I'm ahead of whatever the flying F this guy might be holding at the river (yes you can guess his line .... come on guess it ... yup - 75/2/1 over 50 hands) so I just throw $8 out there. Dude calls. I love it.
