Heh.. In all fairness to him when he went all in even I had to stop and think for a second about if I actually had the nuts or not.

By the way, just an update for anyone (all two of you) who still give a shit. I'm back playing 400NL after a 15k downswing and a 15k withdrawal. I'm currently running worse that anyone else, ever. Even that Gigabet guy.

BR is < 30k.

Sit back – enjoy life – enjoy the fact that suddenly Ireland has a fully fledged international One-day Cricket team. Enjoy the spring sun and the birds chirping. And if you get sick of this get back to pawning.

lol yeah so I've seen. Not that I know much (anything) about cricket but I don't think anyone knows how we pulled that one off.

I just counted up my BR. I have 24k. LOL. Totally decimated from my high of almost 70k.

LOL check out this crazy shit

Wow man that's so sick.

You'll recover though, no doubt.

How many buyins is this downswing?

That graph is fucking disgusting!

Seriously, how did you keep playing for 85k hands when THAT was happening to you? That is hideous. Gl man.

That graph just makes me want to puke inside my mouth, swallow, and shit it out.

Kudos for making the green underline.

Halv, I could have sworn you were sweet-natured, polite and well-spoken when you first posted here. What happened, man?

Humm.. What's not sweet-natured, polite and well-spoken about that post? After all, it is a pretty disgusting graph.

Also I played what I rekon to be the best hand of my poker career today against this LAG guy.
Deepstack big decision whick worked out right:

Final Pot: $493.09


Also I've been learning the value of paying attention to the tables a bit as part of my aggreement with myself yesterday. A couple of hours before I put a little note on this guy saying " lead out bluffs". This note let me do this with confidence:

All in all a good day. Hopefully tomorrow will be the same.

BR: $9052

your op is looking very good. i hope to do something similar this summer. probably not as big though. similar starting br, but smaller end goal because of less time.

this particular post interested me. do you always play AJo so aggressively from the blinds? i would just call with AJ pf in the 1st hand because I don't want to play a big pot oop with a 2nd best hand to a pf 3bet. in position i might do it, but why do you choose to do it from sb? is it read specific?
also, you say that you played the 1st hand great. why do you say that? what was going thru your head and why did you think you played it so well. your answer is obviously going 2 b very read specific and i'm interested to hear you're thinking on the hand.

also, about "lead out bluffs". i find that most of the time that someone leads out at me at $200Nl, it means that they don't have a great hand and they're trying to find out where they are at or get a "free" card.
if they do have a big hand then they would in general go for a checkraise. i think raising when you're lead into as pf aggressor is usually a sign of weakness and a lot the time i raise in that spot no matter what my cards are.
