Wow!


Wow, I didn't realize how easy this game can be. This week, I have just been grinding at 10/20 and 20/40 on titan and 15/30 on pokerfantasy. Before tonight, I had been up about 5K on the week after a few sessions here and there. However, tonight was amazing. It has been one of those nights when I can do no wrong. I started out 2 tabling, 20/40 on titan and 15/30 on pokerfantasy. I made about 1K on each in less than an hour before the tables broke. I then sat at the heads up 10/20 table on titan and waited for people to sit with me. I love doing this because people like to sit with $100 with me because they don't like money or something. I usually bust these people in less than 5 hands (ok, sometimes it takes 10) and then they rebuy for $100 or leave. Tonight was different though. First a guy sits with around $600. I run pretty well just grind him down until I eventually bust him. That took around a half hour. Immediately afterwards, another guy named igrok33 sits with me with $1K. My first couple of buttons he 3 bets me so I think to myself that he is a decent player and may not be profitable to play against. So he starts off up about $200 on me. I decide to stick around for a while longer and then I discovered the real igrok33. I pick up a few tendencies from him.... HE LOVES TO RAISE AND RERAISE. The good part about it is this... he hardly ever has hands when he raises and reraises. So I start chipping away only playing pots when I have something. When I say something, I really mean ANYTHING. Anything was good against this guy. I could also do no wrong. When I call down with A high, it wasn't good some of the time, it was good ALL the time! I can not express in words how bad this guy was. It was only a matter of a minutes before I took IT ALL. I would look at the history of each hand to see what I was being called down with and he would continually call with J high or even worse. I came to the conclusion that this guy was either extremely drunk or extremely rich and stupid. I ended the day up about 3.5K. This session was just the epitomy of fun!

After I played this guy, I called it a night and went to play tennis under the lights with a few friends of mine. What a great night! Here is a screen shot of a hand in which a was capped out preflop and flop, 2 bets on turn, and capped out on river. Note that he called me on the river with 4 high and he didn't even have a draw the whole way. I mean this guy was GOOD!
